Monthly Rants

For the most part, my previous posts have been related to fleet issues. However, there is only so much one can talk about without becoming dull and repetitive. So from now I’m going to sporadically spruce-up my blog by posting what I will call…Monthly Rants! They will not be related to any one particular issue, just some topic of discussion that I wish to vent on. My rants will likely be non-fleet related and deal with current issues facing our country and way-of-life.

For the New Year I have decided to offer-up interesting, and extremely controversial, personal commentary.

For the most part, my previous posts have been related to fleet issues. However, there is only so much one can talk about without becoming dull and repetitive. So from now I’m going to sporadically spruce-up my blog by posting what I will call…Monthly Rants! They will not be related to any one particular issue, just some topic of discussion that I wish to vent on.  My rants will likely be non-fleet related and deal with current issues facing our country and way-of-life.


If you don’t particularly care for my rants, don’t read them. If you read them and disagree with my opinion, speak-up and reply to my post! Free speech (for right now) still remains a constitutional right in this country, although I’m sure the current administration will do everything in its power to try and curtail it in the future.

Many of my rants may contain a political or ideological slant, to which I will not apologize for. Let me forewarn you that I am a loud, proud, unabashed, unrepentant and unapologetic conservative. If you don’t like it, oh well, go whine to some of your progressive buddies so you will feel better about yourself!

Signed,

 The Anonymous Public Fleet Manager
