As for Mr. Slater I'd say he's a better self-promoter than most of us; of course it was a selfish thing to do, that's the way he planned it. The tragedy is so many people, and so much media are making a big deal of it so I will agree with you Nevada on this one, he more than deserves any adverse consequences coming his way. If this is the worst thing that has happened to him in his career as flight attendant I'd say he's lived a charmed life ... I work with people 24/7, if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.<br /> Now as far as our president - keep out of our daily affairs, of course the Muslims have a 'constitutional right,' I agree. But there is such a thing as sensitivity ... even the moderate Muslim community is opposing it, but it's our issue, Mr. President, there are far weighter concerns I would think your valuable time is better spent on .... so please leave us alone. I don't care which side of the aisle the criticism is coming from, you deserve it, learn from it, that's what we try to do here in the heartland. Oh, by the way Mr. President, I am praying for you that God will give you 'true success,' for then the whole country will profit also.Eutychus2https://www.blogger.com/profile/17857223796021466755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-66977102660086155922010-08-16T13:07:14.774-04:002010-08-16T13:07:14.774-04:00Yes - misplaced anger, for sure.

But I admit there is a small part of me that has thought about going out in a blaze of... something. You know, when the time comes. Not that I'd ever actually do it.<br /><br />So the right intentionally misrepresented the facts to try and incite anger? Next you'll tell me they have their own "news" network.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-3900929820696670382010-08-16T10:21:39.963-04:002010-08-16T10:21:39.963-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-7974121919700617922010-08-16T08:04:02.240-04:002010-08-16T08:04:02.240-04:00I tend to see the mosque as a provocation, given i...I tend to see the mosque as a provocation, given its proximity to Ground Zero.

Henry Louis Gate Jr. comes to mind. I'm in favor of the mosque and all the other businesses that will be going into that building. I hope it shows the bigoted segment of the Muslim world that we aren't like them.<br /><br />As for the airplane guy, why can't something like that happen on one of my flights.

While I totally understand where he would feel like losing it completely, he could have sent so much better a message by handling the situation differently. Whether he cared to retain his job or not.<br /><br />As far as the right wing...well, I just say let's keep giving them the rope. They look more and more idiotic the more latitude they're given. Come election time, I'll be voting exactly as I did last time. While not perfect, Obama has made strides no other president has since...well, certainly before my time! ...and the constitution is the constitution, whether we personally feel it applies appropriately to a given situation or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-15035749783588207152010-08-15T13:41:43.969-04:002010-08-15T13:41:43.969-04:00i'm with you as well - we didn't hear over...i'm with you as well - we didn't hear over here in germany of the flight attendant but we heard about the mosque on ground zero.<br />i liked that you let the bear talk for you...Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03011763027311966186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-63749125218501085962010-08-15T11:55:22.413-04:002010-08-15T11:55:22.413-04:00i am with you on both counts...this guy is definit...i am with you on both counts...this guy is definitely not a hero, but i guess we are all looking for someone to justify our own actions...it does not surprise me the way words get twisted either for similar reasons...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-84027741279540059072010-08-15T11:41:46.039-04:002010-08-15T11:41:46.039-04:00Absolutely with you on the Jetblue guy.

I would have to say POTUS should have the nous to keep his nose well out of a State and even a City matter. He could easily have batted it back with a comment that it was a matter for City Hall or Albany. <br />On the Air Steward, honestly it's a total wonder to me that more of them do not wig-out. Bad pay, bad conditions and an ever present danger of dropping out of the sky. He is hardly a bus conductor, but that's how his employers think of him.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442327549417743472noreply@blogger.com
