Crusty old sailor speaks truth to power
Thursday, January 28, 2010
Many of you have seen a letter circulating on the intertubes from a 95 year old retired sailor named Harold Estes that takes President Obama to task for his lack of pride in America among quite a few other things. Well it's real, he wrote it, and he lives in Hawaii. A local TV station spoke to him recently. (h/t Hammer)
"I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don’t think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you," Estes wrote. "Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves." Read Estes' letter.
Navy Chiefs are renowned for their ability to give blistering ass-chewings. Mr. Estes is a solid example of the breed.
