After Romney's remarks, Barbara Doherty told Boston's WHDH 7News that the GOP nominee shouldn't invoke her son that way again.
"I don't trust Romney," she said. "He shouldn't make my son's death part of his political agenda. It's wrong to use these brave young men, who wanted freedom for all, to degrade Obama."
Romney has amplified his criticisms of Obama's foreign policy and defense record with a speech on Monday that fact-checkers and the Obama campaign said was rife with errors and policy reversals

What’s important here...the February 17th Martyrs Brigade got their school lunch program via Obama at $30 per day stipend.
Move along....nothing to see here!
Reality has a way of creating conservatives out of leftists. Usually at the business end of a gun.

I am with you. I agree. Sometimes politics drive me crazy but I love being here so much that I happily accept my craziness and of course constantly apologizing for my quick trigger comments. Luckily the majority of FREEPERS forgive my shortcomings.
There is absolutely zero evidence (to my knowledge) that Ranger Tillman was murdered by his fellow soldiers, as opposed to having been killed by accidental ‘friendly fire’. That is a far out wacky allegation which as far as I know has no basis whatsoever in reality. If you have some real evidence of that, as opposed to the repeating of looney speculation, you should publish your source and also report it to Army CID or Inspector General or the FBI. Short of that, I think the speculation is disrespectful.
Your contend that freedom of religion = freedom from religion and imply that the Founding Fathers supported this. I disagree. Several if not most of the original states had ‘official’ religions at the time of their adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The freedom that was intended was freedom of government imposition of a particular denomination. [And just as an aside, for most of our nation’s history this was not understood as a limitation on state governments (”Congress shall make no law...”).] There was never understood, at least widely, to be any absolute freedom from religion in general, or even from Christianity in general. This is reflected in the fact that the Almighty, albeit in generic terms, has been invoked from the Declaration of Independence to the “In God We Trust” motto on our money to chaplains in our military from the Continental Army to present. So I think you are really overstating things.
Parlor-pink hard cases. Upper-middle-class backgrounds, no test in life tougher than final exams and pleasing a nasty boss. And they throw cr*p like this on people who will have to work every day of their lives.
Every time I see a photo of AG Holder, now, I think, for some reason, of novelist Frank Herbert's squalid lieutenant, the Beast Rabban.
The question before the house is, did she think up that syllogism herself? Or did someone whisper it to her? It seems familiar .....
Actually, that could get to be a problem, too, a la the last generations of the Roman Republic, when the army was politicized, and politicians armed up by raising troops on their own dime (borrowed, of course).
In addition to which, we have the spectacle of the Clintons' very large -- and unremarked by the silent-watchdog press -- attempts to politicize the Civil Service using "diversity" focus groups and "change agents" (political agents, whose identities were protected -- did you hear that one? No?).
Now Obama is trying to sovietize the Army and Marines by demobilizing serving cadres and hanging out the "gays, atheists, and pervs welcome -- and especially anyone who wouldn't mind shooting Christian WASPS" sign down at the old recruiting station.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear about the appearance of "political officers" (zampoliti), called something else no doubt, to enforce Regime policy in the ranks, and Right Thinking.
unfortunately this dolt thinks the loss of her son’s life due to incompetence is acceptable....you just can’t fix stupid
I thought I read this same woman saying her son wanted a new POTUS? What the heck is going on?
“One of the last things my husband said to me before he was killed, when I would ask him, ‘Chris, what do you need over there? What can I send you?’ he said, ‘I need a new president,’” Horton recalled

and cherishes Obama’s terminology regarding Benghazi deaths of Americans and Seals...”just a bump in the road”.....
and let’s not forget how Hillary hosted a State Dinner in which the Liberian Ambassador attended on the very same day she and Obama were doing their photo op with the families and their deceased loved ones.
Oh and let’s not be angry about this administrations Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan....
That's right -- it isn't the Regime's ROE that's the problem.
Typical white people clinging bitterly back in the States are the problem.
“House Democrats opened Wednesday’s House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing by attacking Republicans for cuts to embassy security funding — cuts that only happened thanks to overwhelming support from House Democrats, including House Oversight Committee Ranking Democratic member Rep. Elijah Cummings. In fact, more House Democrats – 149 of them — voted for the cuts than did House Republicans, of which 147 voted for them”
Wrong. Neutrality is NOT the answer when dealing with a hostile religion. Strength and courage are the answer.
OMG... just what I suspected when I saw the headline.
From what I heard today on "Special Report with Bret Baier" (Fox News), the Navy SEAL's (Doherty) sister DID like that Romney mentioned her brother during a few of his speeches...
Thanks for that link. Just wow...
My understanding is that at least part of the cause for absence of religion in the Constitution was because several of the colonies had specific religious requirements for presbetyrianism or catholicism at the least. I don’t have a Constitution in front of me but doesn’t #6 in the Bill of Rights say that no religious consideration can be applied in filling public/political offices?
