Not only ACORN needs more money but also that national police force Zero warned us of as well.

Casualty notification work is heart breaking. I’ve had to knock on a few doors myself. I remember each time. It is gut-wrenching.

My son is there. You are right: our friends and family.

Damn the traitors.

God bless you. God bless our warriors.

Damn these treasonous pieces of crap right to Hell.

And I am restraining myself.

It ain’t the military or thier families that put this clown in.Nothing will change this nation now, save for a civil war. As long as the likes of zero can get elected by the dregs of society and remain in power with no consequences for thier actions nothing will change. It truly makes me sick.

Ubama would rather dump pork all over his ghettos than equip our warriors properly.
What a sick p.o.s.

I simply can’t get my mind around a decision to cut funding for soldier equipment when in the middle of a war.

I keep thinking “It’s retribution against the troops.” But I can’t hardly make myself believe that. But, why else would anyone do it when they’re spending trillions on non-essentials? What else explains it?

Has anyone asked Obama why we are still in Afghanistan? Does he even care?

He used Afghanistan to bash the Bush Administration. It's too early to say that it's not important. But meanwhile he'll starve the effort and then finally pull out, with lots of dead GIs who wouldn't have died if he did it now.

No, he doesn't care.

I hope people start waking up, 444. This is really bad. It is so typical for Democrats to cut back on defense, but in the middle of a war? The War on Terror. (I had to say that because I can’t call the war by it’s new name, it sounds ridiculous).

So, they minimize the name of the war, take away funding for protection and combat, and now they telling the soldiers they can’t fire back.

But, they can blow money on ridiculous stuff and refuse to say where it is going.

What is keeping people from waking up, apathy, pride, lack of this information making it to the MSM?

Best they wake up now. Impeachment would be a good place to start.
