Musings of Mark Levin last night:

We're arming the muslim brotherhood with F-16s, while at the same time disarming law abiding Americans.

This damned administration is screwed up from top to bottom.

Fixed!

Haven’t met an NY’er yet that didn’t hate me for being Southern

Now you have. I have lived in NY, NC, and FL, including the home of Camp LeJeune, and I have no such biases. In fact, I prefer the south, but all my work and contacts are in the progressive capitol of the world.

As working cop, something similar to this happened. I was stopped in Tennessee for a trumped up left of center something. The cop saw my pistol on my hip which I allowed him to take off me. I explained my reasons for having it (going to Tampa to pick up a murderer), and he looked dubious. He said “you’all want to open up your trunk?” I said “No.” He threw me against the cruiser and handcuffed me. I calmly turned to him and said “Ya’ll want to give me your wallet? Cause I’m gonna have it.” After I was released, my lawyer went after him for reparations of my wages, my time off, my humiliation and a half dozen other reasons, he lost his badge, I won a little bit of money and my lawyer was paid in full and didn’t cost the state of Tenn. a penny. Reason ? REASONABLE search and seizure. His defense? He wouldn’t allow a search of the trunk. He asked ME “You want to open your trunk?” and I just didn’t WANT to.

Gangbangers, assorted criminals, hoods and murder rapist are the only ones allowed to have guns according to the new beedy eyed son of sfachime govna!

Since Haddad’s arrest, something like 65,000 children have been slaughtered by abortionists.

Thank goodness Haddad won’t be adding to the body count.

Fort Drum veteran honored at dinner with VIPs for taking care of wounded warrior

March 15, 2012 - Paul Steven Ghiringhelli, Staff Writer

Army veteran Nate Haddad, an employee at Fort Drum's Network Enterprise Center, appeared in uniform as an honored guest Feb. 28 at the historic Union League building in downtown Philadelphia, Pa., where Lt. Gen. William Troy, right, director of Army Staff at the Pentagon, was a featured guest speaker. (Courtesy photo)

...snip...

Organizers said the Feb. 28 event was aimed at raising awareness of the challenges, transitions and unique conditions today’s service members undergo. Haddad, who was medically discharged from the Army in 2010, said he didn’t do anything special to deserve the attention.

The story of why he was singled out by a community hundreds of miles from Fort Drum began late last year, when he received a call from a 10th Mountain Division (LI) buddy, “Kyle” – a combat engineer who was left with a broken back when a roadside bomb detonated under his vehicle in Afghanistan.

... Haddad then traveled to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., and drove his injured buddy three hours up the road to spend Christmas with the man’s family. “The worst time to be in the hospital is during a holiday season,” Haddad said. “What I didn’t know at the time was that (my friend) sent out a mass email telling people he had two disabled vets coming over for Christmas and that it would be nice if they had a few letters or presents.”

That email reached Marian L. Moran, president of the Philadelphia chapter of Blue Star Mothers. Haddad said, largely due to her efforts, some 100 gifts showed up for Christmas. “It was absolutely astounding,” he said. “We gave away a bunch of it because there was just too much.”

But the expressions of support did not end there. Soon after the holidays, Moran followed up with Haddad, discovering he was acting not only as a friend but also as a mentor to the injured Soldier – helping Kyle get back on his feet, explaining the Medical Evaluation Board process to him and just offering to help in any way he could.

“I guess she was very inspired and impressed,” Haddad said. “She said the story went along well with the theme of ‘From War to Home’ at her upcoming dinner (at the Union League).”

...snip...

[at the dinner] “When Kyle came in, I don’t think there was a dry eye in that whole place,” ...[Haddad] said of the young specialist, who was told by doctors in Bagram that he would never walk again. “They gave a brief synopsis of what had happened to him … and here he came walking up (unaided). No cane. No kind of assistance at all.”

Haddad said he believed the evening’s theme, “From War to Home,” was a topic that’s crucial for communities across America to understand and support.

“Yeah, we need to support the troops overseas,” he said. “But at the same time, when they come home, the war is not really over, and they still need support.

...snip...

After more than a decade of active duty, Haddad left the Army just over a year ago. He had been a ground surveillance systems operator when he severely injured his back and shoulder during Army Special Forces selection training at Fort Bragg, N.C., in 2005. He was re-classified as an interrogator and spent the last several years of active duty undergoing multiple surgeries.

...snip...

“Nate deserves some kind of award for the leadership he has shown in watching over his buddy,” she said. Melinda Roney, NEC’s Logistics Branch chief and Haddad’s supervisor, said she fully understands what kind of asset the former Soldier is to the Army. “Nathan is the type of employee that supervisors wish they had a dozen of,” Roney said. “He consistently works hard, is good-humored and always goes above and beyond without thinking twice.

“Giving 100 percent of himself comes naturally to Nate,” she added.

Watertown man's arrest fuels questions about gun control

January 3o, 2013
North Country Public Radio
St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY

At the meeting between gun owners and state police yesterday in Lake Placid, one of the people in the crowd demanded more information about the case of a man arrested in Jefferson County for allegedly carrying high-capacity 30-round magazines in the trunk of his car.

I hadn't heard of the case in the Watertown area, so I googled it.

According to the Watertown Daily Times, Nathan Haddad, a 32-year-old veteran and former Fort Drum soldier, was allegedly found with five 30-round clips for an AR-15 assault rifle.

New York state currently has a ban on magazines that carry more than 10 rounds of ammunition, and the new gun control law approved earlier this month gradually reduces the size of an allowed clip to 7 rounds.

The newspaper reports that Haddad faces five felony counts for violating state law.

New York and all of the Neo Europa states must be purged from the Union.

Met quite a few Yankees which live the south , he’ll my wife was a Yankee now an adopted southern gal but it’s te Yankees with their smug arrogant attitude that elitist snotty attitude and their ignorant democrat voting views which. Grate me .
I’d love to see all of them go back north and have a ban on those thinking if coming here.
How many times have you heard these snotty elitist liberal Yankees keep hRping on about how they do it up north , they think grits is awful and guns should be banned .
He’ll one Yankee suburau driving Yankee liberal woman last week said at the green grocers that we should nit have bonfires in our back yards due to the clean air act.
I pissed her off in the end and she stormed out but that was in a grocers down here.
My wife now is getting a southern accent thank God as a southern accent on a woman is one of the sexiest accents in the world far better.

No, they are not screwed up. The term "screwed up" infers that they either do not know or do not realize what they are doing. this is simply not true. They know exactly what they are doing and why they are doing it.

Now the fools, parasites, and traitors who put them in office may not know they did and they are going to be the most confused idiots in the universe during the period of time from their detention and their execution. Dig up some of those who helped put Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Castro in power andask themhow did this Communist worker's paradise work for you.

[manc]

Forgot to add but when we went there to visit the last time and will be the only time . I was there for two hours and in that time I got a ticket off a fat cop because I had no seatbelt on even though I had just set off and was about three miles an hour but because I’m from down here my ticket cost double as I was not from te commie city of new York , later I had a black guy who was a park cleaner keep bugging me with crap like dogs can’t come here then don’t let your kids touch any plants then telling us in a public park where to sit and finally he and I got into it where he vot an iron bar and shouting go back to where you come from.
Hate that city and will never go north if Incan ever help it

Apparently you "wrote" this yourself.

What seems to have caused you to excerpt it?

[butterdezillion]

I’m not surprised but I am sorry for those in NY who didn’t vote for this crap. I didn’t vote to have my country taken over by a foreign enemy combatant in our White House and have busted my butt to keep it from happening but I will experience the same fate as all the numbnuts who voted for this. Probably worse, because I will be dead in the first round because of my resistance.

The voters of America have flipped the ultimate bird at every patriotic military person in this country. I am disgusted and appalled, and very, very sorry for what I was unable to keep the idiot voters, judges, politicians, and media in this country from doing to those men and women.

[butterdezillion]

That’s the kind of man the criminals in NY need to be “protected” from.

Wow.

[stevie_d_64]

Yep, that is the risk they take...IF you want to take it that far, and to court to protest your illegal detainment/arrest...
