Walking While Arrogant [Cynthia McKinney]

One of the funniest memories of my Korean War era service is the day we had a security drill for the college grad "troops" at old Camp Detrick (top-secret installation in those days). A little corporal known as "Tex" took a small squad to a normally vacant guard tower. They were met by a bantam-sized captain coming from his O-club briefing.

"All right, men, I'll be in command here" said the captain. Tex replied "Show yer cerdentials!"

"My bars are my credentials!"

"OK boys, take his .45!" Tex ordered, and they did. The captain was furious and tried to file charges on Tex. He was reminded that he couldn't charge a corporal for executing orders.

That ain't no lady!

" ... The media carefully avoids making this class take responsibility for their actions, and so they get away with whatever they want and blame us for racism!"

I thought this was to be expected.

When one is a slave, isn't the master responsible for everything?

I thought so.

The sad thing is there are people who truly do face discrimination and the acts of McKinney & Company make it very difficult for them to make their case. I doubt McKinney is a reader but she should check out this book about The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Have they released the Video yet?

I do believe that would shut this public servant up.

TNS!

And I had a friend that got an ARCOM for putting a general in the front leaning rest position!

Is is just me ....or should the whole of congress and the Senate have to wear ID badges, or at least have to show ID without being able to waltz around security. I understand they wear these little pins, which Ms. Mckinney couldn't even bother to wear...but come on. These guys are OUR employees...they should have to show ID.

You're right, they are employees and nobody should walk around security, period.

I ws joking with my friends that by the time this was over the OFFICER would be in jail and sued. Watch what they do.

I wonder if she had seen the officer was black if she would have punched him, knowing she couldn't play the race card?

[Wolfie]

I say let everybody in to Congress, proper id or not. Maybe we'll get lucky.

[Brytani]

Even if he had been black she would have played the race card.

"That black man; a pawn in the white mans game to keep me, a black, progressive, woman, congressperson, is selling out his race. He's a shame to his skin and is as racist as any white man for working with them!!!"

It’s quite evident that we have fostered a culture of spoiled brats who have learned how to absolve themselves of any responsibility for their illegal, immoral and unethical behavior.

I blame Lyndon Johnson.

Where I worked before I retired last year, we had to use "swipe" cards AND pin numbers to get access to certain areas. (At one time, we even used eye scans).

Woe to the person who accidentally punched in the wrong pin number more than twice in a row. You would all of a sudden have four or five young Air Force security police officers pointing weapons at you, and you would be commanded to put your hands in the air and not move. In some instances, they would make you get face down on the ground (eating dirt), or up against a chain link fence. This procedure was fondly known as getting "jacked up", and yes, it happened to me once.

We used to get quite a hoot out of it when it would happen to one of the more obnoxious department honchos, because the entire complex would go on lockdown, and you could see the hapless "jackee" on the security monitors all over the place.

While in Basic Training, at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, we were on our first bivouwac. The Deputy Commander of the Post had just come from the O Club, and decided to check on his troops. When he was told to advance and be recognized, the guard didn't have the slightest idea who he was, and he had no ID on his person. He sputtered for a while, and the guard said, 'Well, General or Catpain or Sergeant, you're going to go for a walk with me.' The guard had just changed, and the good general walked ahead of the private for nearly two hours.

Our CO recognized the troop at an assembly the next day, and told us he had held a US Army type general at gunpoint for two hours the night before.

Do you watch 24? The head of CTU fell for a line his crackho sister tossed on the phone, then got beat up by her boyfriend and his wallet taken when he met her. Then the boyfriend tried to sell his Access Card to Chechyn Terrorists, who promptly put a bullet in the boyfriend's and the sister's heads and took the card for free. Then, because the director was too embarassed to report losing his card, the terrorists got into CTU and released a cylinder of VX nerve gas killing over 100 people. The director dies of it too while doing a task to redeem himself.

My point is, little pins are not a form of positive ID, and too many things can happen to them leading to them getting into the wrong hands.

[Flavius Josephus]

Bob Weir?

[bmwcyle]

If it was you, you would have been arrested by now.

[Katya]

This is why I stated they need to use ID's not pins, just like all the other federal employees in DC.
