Barbara Boxer meet Dr. Evil

Senator Barbara Boxer (D- CA) seems to believe she has "earned" the title of Senator. Well "Babs" being called Senator does not mean you earned it. It means you were elected to represent California by its citizens. You earned nothing. You are supposed to be a servant of the people not a pompous ass. But as a liberal, your main accomplishment has been to tax and spend other people money and to send the United States into the ionosphere with debt.

The general followed proper protocol by addressing you respectful as Ma'am just as he address the male senators as Sir. However, it is the General who has earned the right and deserved your respect. It is interesting that President Obama goes around referring to Senators by their first names. Maybe you should advise Obama that you were elected more times than him and therefore should be called Senator.

Has Boxer has apologized? More on this after the video with her antics: "Senator Barbara Boxer seems to have a problem with the military. And she wants respect. Barbara Boxer meet Dr. Evil."


Consider Boxer's apology as reported by the Canadian Free Press reports: "Gawd, I really looked like a b**ch!” exclaimed Mrs. Barbara Boxer, a California politician . . . as she watched a replay of her disrespectful interruption of Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers . . ."

Now examine closely the alleged Boxer's apology. The Canadian Free Press continues with Boxer saying: "I am so sorry for my indefensible behavior," Missus Boxer stated, "I realize now that the term 'Madam' was not meant to be disrespectful to me as a revered member of the elite Washington Political Class. Rather, I understand now that it is a term of respect used by members of the lower and servant classes, such as military people, waiters, laborers, normal people with manners, and anyone else who does not occupy a seat in a privileged political club, such as I do. I was wrong to be so rude and I understand that the General was just trying to be nice to me, Mrs. Stewart Boxer. I was wrong to scold the great General and I hope he can see fit to forgive me."

Funny! The Canadian Free Press is "pulling out leg." Boxer apologize forget it! However, their satire does portray in Shakespearean fashion how Boxer would react seeing herself in a special class and the rest of us as her peons. To her, Generals would be equal with waiters. And as citizens, they are! But that is not what she would mean. Both waiters and Generals are more important than Senator Babs; you work for a living and contribute to society.

Californians need "Change!" - a replacement to Boxer. One possibility is California Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (R-Irvine). He represents an area that includes almost 500,000 people in Orange County. Chuck was elected in 2004 and reelected in 2006 and in 2008. Chuck served as a Reagan White House appointee in the Pentagon from 1986 to 1988. As Special Assistant for Foreign Affairs his duties included working with Congress to advance the President’s foreign and military policy. Chuck’s official travels took him to Asia, Europe, Africa, and Central America. His initiative helped develop the Arrow Anti-Ballistic Missile program. In 1983, Chuck enlisted in the United States Army Reserve. In 1985 he was commissioned as an officer. After more than 24 years, Lt Colonel Devore retired from the Army National Guard.

Let's impeach California all together, would save a lot of time and trouble!

Since we're getting ready to "bail" them out anyway, they have given up their right to be heard for 2 years.

Then they can start all over, maybe that time they will elect some people who actually have some common sense.

Barbara Boxer, that General, HE earned the right to be respected. HE earned those medals on his chest. HE worked hard to be a General, serving his country. YOU haven't earned anything, you were elected by a state which is not representative of our country as a whole. YOU serve wacko lunatic libs who only think they are entitled. No Babs, you can take your title and shove it up Barbara Streisand!

Senator. Give me a break, that is how the military teaches its members to answer and respect others. Excuse me Senator, but I know for a fact that the General has worked very hard for his title. She should learn ... Read Morethat you only have to respect the position not the person and respect is earned not just given. These two poor excuses of women should just go away! I am tired of the negative rhetoric that these two utter from their pie holes on a non stop basis. That means you too Nancy (I don't care about the taxpayers) Pelosi. Be rid of these two so we can accomplish something positive.

A Private has earned his rank. A police officer has earned his badge. A rifleman has earned his skill and qualification. A truck driver has earned his CDL. Ma'am has not earned the respect that title infers, let alone her title as Senator.

I agree with Bob Limberg. The military has been taught since bootcamp to start with ma'am and end with ma'am. Same goes for sir and end with sir. They entered into service to serve this country and protect our freedom. This bitch hasn't earned a damn thing. She was somehow voted into office. Best I can figure is slinging a lot of bullshit. At that point, he should have got up and left because he souldn't have to put up with that shit. Enough Said!!!!

You have to remember that Barbara is just a Princess, the term Queen belongs to Nancy alone...neither have respect for the military and their long tradition of addressing Men as "Sir" and Women as Ma'am" She didn't do her homework, and showed her ignorance. The shame is all on her. This General showed great restraint. I don't think I'd be as kind.

Is she out of her mind? Yet another classic sign of disrespect toward the military. From boot recruits to Generals, all military personnell are required to call women of higher rank and position "Ma'am". She needs to get over herself.

Regarding congressional etiquette: Sir, Ma'am, or Senator is correct when addressing a U.S. Senator.
I understand that perhaps Senator Boxer did not understand that the title Ma'am was appropriate (and allowed) since she has not been in the military but her staff or someone in Congress should have briefed her when she first entered Congress on the proper titles that people can address her with.

Barbara Boxer is a liar and has no respect. She never earned anything at all, she made it to where she is by kissing up to ultra liberals. As far as I'm concerned calling her ma'am was even an overstatement.

I didn't hear her refer to him as "General", and I think he earned that title. He showed restraint and decorum by holding his tounge and not telling her so. I guess he doesn't have the self image issue she does.

Anonymous Steve Tesser said...

It just shows her disdain for the military. She's worked so hard. Yeah being so liberal and getting voted in by the crazies in California is very hard work. Maybe if she had a job she'd know what hard work was. We should let her state go bankrupt and in one swoop get rid of her, Pelosi, and Waters.

A friend sent this message this morning:
Quoting a friend:
Dear Mrs. Boxer: If the General had been addressing a male senator, he would have referred to him as "Sir." In these times of economic disaster, nuclear threats, and multiple-front wars, your "title" and how you are addressed is of little consequence. Especially since it is we the people ... Read Morewho bestow that title upon you for the purpose of representing OUR best interests, not your EGO. I guarantee you that the risks taken by General Walsh while obtaining his "title" far outweigh any risks you have ever taken or may ever face. You truly owe the General an apology. You cut him off in mid-sentence to appease your ego. That is an unconscionable act for a public SERVANT to commit."

I hope he asked to be called Brigadier General in return, because God knows he worked hard for that title as well. Geez Louise, Babs, don't get your Boxers in a bunch. He was being respectful of you....something of which you must learn how to be.

When do we do something about these foolish, treasonous men and women who are systematically following their playbook to destroy America. They break their own laws, shoving every kind of "ism" down the throats of plain old everyday Americans and treat our military like scum beneath their shoes and high heels. I pose "2" questions.

"Will we ... Read Morestill be standing as the America fought for, died for, by all of those before us, will it all be gone by 2010?"

" Will we have any of our freedoms and rights to, choose, about our lives, to succeed, to fail in a bussiness venture and then choose to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and keep going as the America of our grandparents and ancestors."

I hope she is forced, by public outcry to apologize to the General and the American People. My husband is a retired Marine. Not only does he use the terms Maam and Sir, ( he has been retired since 1976) I do also and our two sons were raised to do the same. Also if you are raised in most states in the South, you are taught to call adults Maam and Sir. It's not only a Military thing it's a southern thang as well. Barbara Boxer is a rude democrat.

Boxer is just about as worthless as Pelosi. Where does she [Boxer] get off correcting a General on how to address a senior ranking official. "Ma'am" is perfectly appropriate to any female regardless of office.

First, the General said that out of respect. 2nd, yes, Senator Boxer worked hard to get voted in, with the help of a bunch of people.
