A Concord state representative's email to Republican colleagues at the State House about her Army training is causing national controversy this morning. In the email July 21, State Rep. Lynne Blankenbeker, R-Concord, the city's only GOP rep., described some of the training she was getting at Fort Dix, before she ships off to Afghanistan later this year. Blankenbeker, who is a Naval Reservist nurse, said she was learning how to drive a hum vee for convoys, both day and night, as well as weapons training. Blankenbeker wrote: "Today I got to be the gunner which was fun. The .50cal is quite a gun! I was never ascared (sic) of the unions but they better not F#%k with me again!!! Just saying."

“Today I got to be the gunner which was fun. The .50cal is quite a gun! I was never ascared (sic) of the unions but they better not F#%k with me again!!! Just saying.”
I don’t see the problem. What’s the controversy about?
I bet they don’t like the word ‘askared’. Wusses!
Sounds like Mr. Lang of the organized fire thug’s union is a snively little asshat.
“ascared”
Probably some insult to the Prophet, or something.
The truth hurts. It’s OK for unions to threaten to kill or maim you and your children, break your windows, smash you car, burn down your house, destroy whatever property you own that they do not (all of which has been threatened many times over by unions), but stand up to them and it creates a “firestorm” and it was in poor taste. What a bunch of pansies. Live free or die, my ass. Go Lynne! Twice.
Example number 453,783,701 that liberalism is a mental disorder. No need to restate the symptoms — we all know what they are.
I do not know about this lady, but she has my vote!
Maybe he needs to brush up on his reading comprehension skills. I read it and laughed. Somehow the union thug thinks she’s going to come after them with a .50 cal. LMAO!
Exactly.
I DO know the lady and she is A #1 in my book.
She’s right, the .50 cal is an awesome weapon. I don’t understand why it would cause a “national firestorm” among the looney libs though.
Sounds like a Nicki Haley literally "locked and loaded"
She should go far..what about Congress or state wide office for her?
The word “ascared” is a perfectly good American word. It needed no damnably slanderous parenthetic “(sic)”. See http://www.grammarist.com/usage/ascared/
LOL! So she’s getting flak about her opinions about unions? Oh, well. I guess she shouldn’t have made that direct connection, with her training on the .50 cal, but I can understand her sentiment. ;o)
I don’t see a problem with her remarks. A patriot, training to defend the country, makes a funny remark. This will only be a phoney controversy for the Commie Pinkos who want to stifle all manner of speech from the right.
Tell her she has at least one supporter in PA.
Hehhehheh. I always thought it was spelt “askeered” or maybe “ascairt”, thus the need for the (sic).
“;^)
First big weapon I was assigned to: Quad-50...for an impressionable 18-year-old, it was, and still is, awesome!
