Personally I’d rather be called ‘cockroach’ than ‘senator.’ It commands more respect.

The witch Boxer’s voice mail is full right now. Call her San Francisco office at:

415-405-0100 and tell her what you think of her and what you think of their DeathCare.

That is correct. Maam and Sir is meant as a title of respect. Boxer is an ignorant buffoon.

The man corrected him with “I”m sorry, that would be Dr. Smith”.

We had a school administrator who constantly introduced himself to parents as "Dr" and was very arrogant about it. His replacement introduces himself by his first name.

The superior tone she used is just as infuriating as her words.

There was a post about a nutty woman who didn’t want to be called “Liz” yesterday. Put these two together it’s a picture...

Typical feminist,she is shown respect by a General, in the United States Armed Forces and she finds a way to be offended.

Yet when a Governor of the United States is called a slut by a 2 bit late night host she suddenly swallows her tongue.

It shows that Boxer doesn’t “get” the military at all.

CA is aptly represented in the US Senate.

Leftists are ignorant and contemptuous of the military.

Boxer may consider herself “elite”, but then again, so does every hemp-stinkin’ leftist on every college campus.

Neither of you VRWC Fanatics can understand, nor appreciate, the absolutely key role Barbara Boxer plays in our esteemed Senate and in the Great State of California.

Merely by existing, and occasionally speaking, she causes Dianne Feinstein and Jane Harman to look much more intelligent than they actually are.

Taken as a threesome (gruesome thought) their individual IQ's add up to a number well below the boiling point of water. The only question remaining is, "are we talking Fahrenheit or Centigrade?"

“You generally refer to a person by their rank (with the exception of the captain of a ship) when that person is an inferior officer or enlisted, as in “Sgt, report to the XYZ” or “Lt, follow the Sgt to the XYZ and find out how it’s done.””

EXCELLENT POINT.
