What A Shock! - Napolitano Pulls BS Report About Right Wing Extremists

Report citing veteran extremism is pulled
Napolitano: Not vetted

A contentious "Rightwing Extremism" report that warned of military veterans as possible recruits for terrorist attacks against the U.S. was not authorized, has been withdrawn and is being rewritten, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Capitol Hill lawmakers.

"The wheels came off the wagon because the vetting process was not followed," Ms. Napolitano told the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday.

"The report is no longer out there," she said. "An employee sent it out without authorization."

The report was shared with state and local law enforcement officials nationwide via the department's internal Web site on April 7, angering Republican lawmakers and military veterans who said it unfairly stereotyped veterans.

Ms. Napolitano did not say when the report was taken off the "intel Web site" and all Homeland Security Department Web sites, but she said it is in the process of being "replaced or redone in a much more useful and much more precise fashion."

Rep. Christopher Carney, Pennsylvania Democrat, said that as a veteran he "took offense personally," and his constituents were offended by the report as well.

"It really hit home hard to me and in our district," Mr. Carney said. "It's not a good start when I go to town hall meetings and I hear people calling for your resignation."

Ms. Napolitano said the report titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," is not the only report she has seen that says veterans are targets for recruitment by racist and other hate groups.

"It was an assessment, not an accusation," Ms. Napolitano said.

"It didn't say that," Mr. Carney interrupted.

Dear President Obama: You're A Real Moron!

Sunday, May 10, 2009

Dear President Obama: When it comes to Veterans and the military, you're a real moron.

Mr. President, I fear that one day, soon, your lack of value for the military, both present and past, is going to cost us blood.

American blood.

Once again, in it's own inimitable way, the fine folks at BLACKFIVE have hit the nail on the head.
And, as a brief aside, that racist crap you thought was so funny... about Limbaugh succumbing to kidney failure?

Oddly enough, I'm coming to feel the same way about you.

Hah, hah. Yuk, yuk. Funny, eh?

Your cluelessness about the military and veterans is already legendary. That you never cared enough about our country to serve it emphasizes your clueless idiocy about all things military.

Mr. President, this isn't ABOUT you. It's about those who put their asses on the line so a dumb shit like YOU could unfortunately be elected to the most powerful office in the world.

So, do us all a favor.

Don't go. Stay here. Send Biden. Send Clinton. Hell, send that lie of a "I'm going to get a dog out of a shelter" mutt that got more coverage than Darfur.

That you would use this as a photo op disgusts me. The networks will, of course, be on there knees in front of you, again, and make some totally absurd effort to make you One Of Us.

It's as bad as ripping us off for $350,000 for a photo op that could have been photo-shopped for nothing.

Dispicable.

I Refuse to Listen....
Posted By Deebow

I am not trying to harsh the Best Ranger Mellow...

I refuse to listen to anything that the Obama Administration, or President Obama says about how much he "values the sacrifices of our veterans" when he continues to do things like suggest that combat related injuries would need to be covered by my Blue Cross/Blue Shield (what a tool-bag idea).

And I remain unconvinced that he even has any idea about the sacrifices that veterans make for the freedoms that many others, besides America, enjoy now. And this is why...


The 65th Anniversary of D-Day is fast approaching. Barack Obama will attend the events on June 6th as George Bush did in 2004 for the sixtieth memorial service.

Here is the rub, as of now Obama’s State Department has asked (read demanded) the French government not allow tour guide services to operate that day. It is a big day for Normandy tourism. Yet, the king will not allow those not connected with government to enjoy the day.

I refuse to listen to a Commander in Chief who continues to treat me like a battered wife; telling me how much you love me after you spend most of the evening slapping me around the kitchen for dinner not being hot.

His continued disrespect of the sacrifices of men who he isn't fit to hold the hat of sends me absolutely to the moon, and I know I should not get this angry about this stuff, because it is who he is, but I am flat tired of being told, in a very battered wife sorta way, that I am a potential terrorist, that I am not allowed to tour the grounds where heroes shed their blood for the freedom of others (and my comrades lie forever) and that I better get a job with good health insurance, so I can use it to cover my combat injuries.

Here's A Previous Golden Oldie from Dear Mr. President :

Dear President Obama: Here's why the military loaths you (III) Is there some reason you won't listen?

Mr. President, I've tried to be as patient with you when it comes to you screwing up my country; as empty a suit who has ever lived in the White House; as possible.

I've tried to tell you that your multiple snubs of the Military are having a damaging impact across the board in our confidence in you as Commander and Chief.

From the contempt you exhibit, consciously or unconsciously, every time you "salute" as you leave the chopper, or step out of our 747; from blowing off our wounded kids so you could go shoot hoops in Landstuhl because DOD would not let you use their blood and pain as a campaign prop, to blowing off the Medal of Honor Ball at your inauguration... to this.

Your complete betrayal of every veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States.

Mr. President, you're skating on increasingly thin political ice. You see, you're starting to worry that the bloom is falling off the rose. And in that much, you're absolutely right.

When you were in, oh, about 4th grade, I was raising my hand to enlist in the United States Army.

As a part of that contract (yeah, I know... your moronic idea to continue to pump billions of our dollars into AIG has turned just the tiniest bit unpleasant with that bonus thing and all... but allegedly, a contract is a contract.) the government promised to take care of me, "from the tip of my toes to the top of my head, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE," the recruiter said.

It was during that little tiff in Southeast Asia, Mr. President. You might have heard of the Vietnam War? I was 17, you son of a bitch. In fact, I just got my high school diploma... 37 years after I became a 16 year old senior.

And now, you're going to take that promise away from me, Mr. President? You're going to violate the word of the Government of the United States to me and the millions of others that strapped on a uniform to protect dumb shits like you, Mr. President.

See, Mr. President... this is the risk we run by serving our country. Some civilian dumb ass comes along, never set foot in uniform because he's a selfish bastard that thinks he's OWED something... and when we're done in the Military, we run the risk of someone like you... someone utterly without a clue... someone who has NO IDEA what it is to sacrifice for their country... someone like you coming along and taking it all away... so we can go back to the days of "Vets and dogs, Keep off the grass."

And that's why we're starting to loath you, Mr. President.

It's because you loath us.

And this silly-assed effort to screw us long after we served to, among others, keep YOU safe is going to cost you in the end.

Soon, Mr. President, people will begin to see you the way we see you. Every day, you're pealing off another layer... and another and another. Your leadership has been a disaster for this country and you just got here.

Senator Murray TOLD you this idiotic plan was dead on arrival. That your lackey Shinseki hasn't rammed his resignation down your arrogant throat is all I need to know about that gutless sellout as well.

Mr. President, this is by no means the "Change" I can "Believe in."

In fact... it's just the opposite.

U.S. Flag Stays On Top - Or Not At All

I applaud this Veteran for doing this. The bar owner had already been told that the American Flag goes on top. He chose to leave it flying under the Mexican Flag.

Why doesn't the owner of the bar take a step back for a moment and consider if he was back in Mexico. Would he want to drive around Mexico and see the American flag flying on top of the Mexican flag? Hell no he wouldn't. If you can't show the proper respect for the American flag, then you shouldn't fly it.

f the bar owner believes the American flag should be on the bottom, then he should move his butt back to Mexico and pronto. Rees
