I originally posted this in breaking news with the hopes that enough people became outraged at the desecration of a what has become to symbolize American heroes.
The baseball cap bearing the letters FDNY is nearly as sacred in my mind as our flag, but apparently, not to members of Congress, they seem to think of it as some sort of souvenir.
Maybe this isn't important, and maybe I am making way too much of it, but I can't put into words the incredible rage I felt, when I saw the monster of the caribbean wearing the cap. I felt as if he had just defecated on the bodies of heroic Americans.
If you believe that this word needs to get out, please keep the thread bumped, I am searching for a video caption of the news report.
Thanks;
Luis
What in the HELL is wrong with these "Reprentatives"..... (unless it's radioactive or has time released anthrax in the brim... :)
It really is sad to see such pandering to a TERRORIST!!!!!!!
Break out that Flugel! :)
Halo, mi amigo.

Luis, I am now four generations distanced from my immigrant kin...this is no particular honor to celebrate nor weight to bear, just the facts. Still, I envy you and most Recent Arrivals to our shores...you seem so much more thankful for the blessings too many Americans take for granted!!

Yer Rage is fully 100% justified, IMHO!! The Leftist PUNKS like Danny Rather-Biased and Whorealdo need to accept the FACT that Fidel Castro is every bit as much a TerroristTyrant as Osama bil Clinton hisself!! Instead of rewarding him with this Propaganda Bonanza, we oughtta be plotting his ASSASSINATION and the Overthrow of those who thuggishly support his tyrannical ways!!

Will do, mi amigo.
"Thanks"
De nada...El Barro
It is wrong (not to mention illegal) for anyone to impersonate a police officer. Same thing with a fireman. Simply wearing the hat is a step in the direction of assuming part of their identity.
When President Bush was gifted with a hat, it was a great honor and compliment. It was a statement that he was worthy of being in their ranks. The same could be said of Giuliani, and a handful of others that were chosen to be honored in this way.
If I were to wear a similar hat, I would be claiming stature that I had not begun to earn. If I saw you wearing that hat, I would wonder it you were worthy of that distinction. Personally I don't think anyone beside the police and fire department personnel (and a very few honored civilians) should be wearing that symbol.
For scum like Castro to be wearing a garment that symbolizes America by being everything that is courageous, bold, and sacred, is beyond blasphemy. It is an unspeakably filthy insult to this country. Whatever member of congress that did this should be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail!!
