Well the slim ball pile of crap shit bird John its all about me’ Murtha thinks the liberal weenies should impeach the President.
Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) said Sunday that Democrats in Congress could consider impeachment as a way to pressure President Bush on his handling of the war in Iraq.
Hey everybody in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania what are you going to do about this JACK ASS.
Remember he is no friend to any Marine. Many in the Marines resolved to call him NO Marine.
I want to know what the compromise that Jack ‘the ass’ wants. there is win or there is lose. Jack owns defeat.
Murtha also expressed doubt that Congress and the Bush administration would be able to work out a compromise soon in negotiations on the $124 billion war spending bill. Congress’ emergency funding measure contains a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq.
Help us, this jack is killing Americans.
But a bill passed by the Senate was vetoed because Janet HATES all guns and the fear of Arizona citizens rising against the government for not protecting them as they should. The only one in AZ looking out for Americans is Sheriff Joe….
Napolitano vetoes concealed guns bill
Apr. 29, 2007 12:00 AM
Gov. Janet Napolitano vetoed a measure Friday that would have allowed a person without a concealed-weapon permit to carry a gun in public if any portion of it or its holster was visible.
In a letter accompanying the veto, the governor explained that the measure - Senate Bill 1301 - represented a threat to law enforcement.
“A small corner of the handle of a gun may be insufficient to give reasonable notice to the public or to law enforcement that a person is armed,” Napolitano wrote.

Marines take care of Marines. In any way, every way.
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.– People swim, cycle and run for a variety of reasons; for fun, fitness or competition. Capt. Andrew Christian, a Marine assigned to U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Special Operations Command, does all three in memory of fellow warriors killed and injured in the Global War on Terrorism and to raise money to help support their families.
While deployed to Iraq in 2006 as a member of a Military Transition Team, the Neenah, Wisc., native was authorized two weeks of leave to return to the United States and run the San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in June of that year. He completed the 26.2-mile run while carrying a 3 x 5 foot American flag and crossed the finish line in three hours and 23 minutes.
True to the amphibious tradition of the Marine Corps, the four-time marathon-runner would not be satisfied until he attacked his objective from the sea: He set his sites on the Ironman Arizona triathlon in Tempe, Ariz., and committed to carrying his U.S. flag through the harsh desert heat and 30-mile-per-hour winds for a marathon’s distance once again – but this time after swimming 2.4 miles to shore and completing a 112-mile bicycle ride.
Christian contacted a company that agreed to sponsor his cause to raise money, both for the daughter of his fallen teammate and for the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. The sponsor then asked three-time Ironman World Champion, Peter Reid, to be Christian’s coach and prepare him for the competition.

He should be a Congressman.
ALLENTOWN, Pennsylvania — After trying to run illegal immigrants out of town, just about everywhere Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta goes these days, someone inevitably urges him to run for higher office: County commissioner. Congress. President of the United States.
While flattered, Barletta said his only interest for now is winning re-election this year. The Republican mayor is seeking a third term, defying expectations that he would try to parlay his newfound fame as a crusader against illegal immigration into a higher post.
Republican activists say Barletta, 51, has a bright future in politics — if he wants it.
“Politically, he’s done himself a world of good,” said Republican media consultant John Brabender. “The real question is, where does he go from here, and what is the right office. But certainly he’s put himself in a position to consider a number of offices.”
We need more ballsy people like this, who will stand up for Americans FIRST and who will put some pride back in the term, LAW AND ORDER. Illegal immigrants, parasites that they are, are first and foremost, LAWBREAKERS. Not exactly the kind of people we should be asking Congress to give amnesty to.

The gall of this woman, to make this claim:
Hillary wants to build U.S. respect
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told voters here yesterday that President Bush has squandered the international good will and strong economic standing her husband, former President Bill Clinton, created in the 1990s.
“We’ve got to get back to where we can trust our government again,” the New York Democrat said while campaigning in the early primary state.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a government again that was respected around the world?” Mrs. Clinton asked a crowd at the Allen Temple A.M.E. Church. “I think America is ready to have a president … that will create alliances, not alienation, and I know America is ready for a president who will once and for all end the war in Iraq.”
Let’s give Hillary a refresher course on international good will…
Her husband’s ignorant policies towards foreign affairs (clouded by his own inter-Oval Office Monika affair) created the groundwork for the events that happened on September 11 2001. When American choses to please the world, America loses. The world hates the US and it doesn’t matter who our President is; as long as he (and hopefully not SHE) cowards down and hands out the cash, America is tolerated. What Hillary and her fellow Lemoncrat ilk don’t understand is that the world’s “freedom” loving nations put a price on that freedom…in the form of government oversights and economic regulation and “wealth” redistribution
(AKA socialism). The free world is scared of a truly free America, whose citizens won’t put up with bank rolling every brilliantly blind cure to every third world nation- created problem.
If the Lemoncrats take the White House, the world will once again be content with band aid solutions and superficial feels-good foreign policy. The political, moral and ethical culture of the US and the world will continue to go down it’s relentless mudslide into hell, and our enemies will carry out their attacks with our blessing, unintentional, of course. The Clinton’s will be personally responsible for much of this. Hillary has no shame, none. I AM ASHAMED OF HER.

We often hear stories about the heroes of this war and sometimes we even write about them here. The DoD maintains a web site that lists heroes from every state. I went through them all over the past couple days and there are SO many.
Karl Hannan:
Warrant Officer Hannan was deployed to Tikrit, Iraq, from February 2004 to January 2005 to serve as a maintenance technician with a unit that supported heavy trucks. During his time there, Hannan designed and manufactured a clip-on armor plating kit to protect soldiers traveling in the trucks. The armor plating is the only type of its kind in Iraq, allowing it to be clipped on rather than bolted to the body of the vehicles, which prevents it from damaging the vehicles. At their peak, his team could up-armor 254 trucks a day. He also made engineering prints for other types of trucks and trained others how to weld, manufacture and read the blueprints for the armor. Hannan was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his work in January 2005.
Hannan is from New Hampshire.

Cpl. Winegar and his platoon found themselves confronting numerous enemies who attacked by stealth and under the cover of darkness. On the nights of both August 15th and 16th, insurgents ambushed Winegar’s convoy as it traversed the rugged Pech River Road. In both attacks, enemy fighters fired RPGs from a nearby ridgeline, followed by a hail of machine-gun fire. Winegar not only commanded the lead vehicle, but he manned its machine gun. On both nights, while cut off from his Combat Anti Armor Team, he unleashed his weapon on the ridgeline, holding back the Taliban to give the rest of his convoy time to set up a defense and return fire.
In November 2005, Winegar again faced danger–again as part of an ambushed convoy. On the morning of the 17th, his platoon’s convoy came under heavy fire, and Winegar saw RPGs heading straight toward his vehicle. He ducked into the turret to avoid the inevitable; fortunately, the RPGs landed a few feet off target. Without pausing to consider his good fortune, he grabbed his machine gun and returned fire. Even though his convoy was cut off from other units, Winegar’s quick reactions and responsive fire allowed it to push through the ambush without backup. For his actions, Winegar was twice awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with a Combat “V†in August and September, 2006.
Winegar is from Colorado.
Damn heroes. They’re everywhere, and they would prefer it if we didn’t give them such titles. But we need to. And we need to remember the sacrifices and effort these soldiers and Marines give. Go here and find the heroes from your state. And thank them.

The liberals are coming
WASHINGTON - As the world warms, water - either too little or too much of it - is going to be the major problem for the United States, scientists and military experts said Monday. It will be a domestic problem, with states clashing over controls of rivers, and a national security problem as water shortages and floods worsen conflicts and terrorism elsewhere in the world, they said.
What they are really saying is that neighbor will kill neighbor and brother will kill brother just to get some water. Water shortages and floods? is that like an oxymoron?
I don’t know why I get the Military.com socialist media shit. they are just a past of the liberal media..
At home, especially in the Southwest, regions will need to find new sources of drinking water, the Great Lakes will shrink, fish and other species will be left high and dry, and coastal areas will on occasion be inundated because of sea-level rises and souped-up storms, U.S. scientists said.
See, what they are really saying is that we should start to kill people because it is people that cause the global warming, Like body heat or something…OK, I know what they are really saying is that all conservatives should be limited by law to 1 child. Liberals (and illegal Mexicans) are exempt as they provide the labor (read unions) we are too lazy to do ourselves…
Reduced snow melt supplying water for the Sacramento Valley in California means that by 2020 there won’t be enough water “to meet the needs of the community,” Pulwarty said. That will step-up the competition for water, he said.
The sky is falling!
I am going out into the rain now…
This is an outrage. I find it so hard to understand how people who see the facts
All of these Criminal activities and the left will claim that Guns are the issue as seen here (Careful, they are extreme anti-gun, Tomorrow gbei9ng the National guy a gun day I believe I will go buy another gun just because I can.
Also, Don’t read into this site that the most liberal anti-gun cities in the nation (Chicago, New York, Boston) aren’t the cities with the most violent crime rates. that would be the truth and they don’t want you to know that…
And don’t point fingers but the students second amendments were shot down
A bill that would have given college students and employees the right to carry handguns on campus died with nary a shot being fired in the General Assembly.
House Bill 1572 didn’t get through the House Committee on Militia, Police and Public Safety. It died Monday in the subcommittee stage, the first of several hurdles bills must overcome before becoming laws.
The bill was proposed by Del. Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah County, on behalf of the Virginia Citizens Defense League. Gilbert was unavailable Monday and spokesman Gary Frink would not comment on the bill’s defeat other than to say the issue was dead for this General Assembly session.
I am glad the ‘Association of Chiefs of Police’ could provide for the safety of all the innocent students!
I don’t blame the police just the political police chiefs…

The Great Flip Flopper is once again…flopping. Or is it flipping?
Both??
WASHINGTON — Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, recently hinted that he should not be counted out of a possible future presidential campaign.
Kerry is wrapping up a nationwide tour to promote “This Moment on Earth,” a book on the environment that he co-wrote with wife Teresa Heinz Kerry. According to a report by 9News.com in Denver, Colo., he said he decided it wasn’t the right time to run for the White House, but that could change.
“Could that change?” Kerry said. “It might. It may change over years. It may change over months. I can’t tell you, but I’ve said very clearly I don’t consider myself out of it forever.”
He’s going to try, again..to make his dream, ok fantasy, of living in the White House come true. And he won’t make it…he doesn’t have the right stuff. Or the wrong stuff. He’s just not Presidential material.

Give me one good and logical reason why we need gun control laws?
After today’s tragedy at VT, it seems pretty clear to me: HAD EVEN one student or professor had a gun of their own on them this could have turned out very differently. Someone would have shot down this gunman long before he shot down so many more.
Gun control laws won’t and obviously DON’T work. If a person wants a weapon, a gun they will get it- legally or not. Today’s events are proof we need to arm all our citizens with a gun to defend themselves.
What are we left with? A nation mourning 33 innocent people, dead in a matter of minutes, at the hand of a very sick person. And the dead, and others, had NO way to defend themselves. We won’t see any victims kin speak up for the right of Americans to own and use firearms; we will hear cries for banning all weapons though.
And in the future we will be once again shocked and saddened. By another mass shooting on some campus that is GUN FREE and SAFE.
Give me a good reason to ban guns.
