#1 Nap's backpeddling as fast as she can. How about any vets in code pink or PETA? Both extreemist orgs that carry out ops against our government and the people. We should start an org called Vets against stupid politicians!

#2 I'd be there, in a heartbeat, 49... although I think since me, my daughter, the chairman of the SA Tea Party committee, our webmaster and g*d knows how many of the other committee members and participants are veterans, your suggested group "Veterans against Stupid Politicians" has already formed. YMMV, though.

#3 Sgt. Mom -- I just want to congratulate you and that SA committee for an incredible job! I didn't make it, had even tracked down bus schedules from Alamo Dome to the Alamo -- but,
Boss scooted out, didn't invite us to go (Austin) -- I have a bum knee, and since I would have been by myself in that huge group, I backed out.

I tracked it tho -- listened to WOAI and I swear, every time I turned to Fox this weekend, they were running Glen Beck!

Great job -- tell everyone -- San Antonio made Texans proud! But, at least, I'll be at the Spurs game tonight!

#4 Glad you enjoyed listening, Sherry - you would have not had a good time in the crowd there. The SAPD confirmed from aerial photos that there was about 20,000 people there, at the peak.

You know what they say - Everything IS bigger in Texas!

Wait until we do the 4th of July Tea Party - that's gonna be awesome!

#5 So Tim McVeigh does this thing and we broadbrush all vets. How about such an approach to those who masterminded and executed 9/11 killing and maiming far more Americans, that would be Muslims in the US. Given the number of Minnesotan Somalis who've decided to go jihad, that seems just as justified. Now if you just view either group as a threat to the power of socialist left, that would explain the attention on the former and kid glove approach to the latter.

#6 Sgt. Mom -- that one's on Sat -- I'll find folks to go -- even in a crowd of 20,000, I just want to feel that excitement! Let me know if I can do anything from here in Austin...

And hey, Liberal Town USA had 5,000 for the march down Congress!

#7 Ms Napolitano is full of shit.

One of the most important pillars of faith of the left is the enshrinement of white male Christian heterosexual capitalists as the greatest evil the universe can produce - a veritable asymptote of badness, which nothing else can remotely approach. It is the one of the pillars of their worldview. Many of their other ideas and philosophies flow from this cartoon character image they have created.

When minorities or women or leftist extremists or Islamic extremists do horrible things, this idea of the white male hetero Christian capitalist being the great evil is challenged by the facts. Cognitive dissonance then ensues, requiring a resolution. A rigorous examination of the facts forces a conclusion: that in fact, white male Christian hetero males are not the default greatest evil in the universe.

To those too intellectually lazy and full of hate to give up their cherished bogeymen, this is unacceptable. So they resolve to do whatever it takes to maintain their cherished fictions and bigotries.

This report is exhibit A.

#8  "We believe that you don't need a Guantanamo to improve the safety of the American people and minimize the risk of terrorist acts.

Maybe Venezuela will take these slack-jawed, knuckle-dragging terroists. Or how about they be assigned to Ms. Napolitano's personal care for rehabilitation?

#9 Sgt Mom, you did a great job and congrats! I watched Glen Beck and I thought he did a great job, and I'm not his biggest fan, but he was excellent! As was Terrible Ted!

#10 Janet, most vets are a helluva lot smarter than you think they are. I was assigned to a unit in Germany once that had 38 people in it. Twelve of them had been former Rhodes Scholars - three officers and nine enlisted. Out of the 38 people, including 14 Photo Analysts, 5 Intel Analysts, 6 Image Processors, four Admin troops, and a smattering of eight other specialties, only ONE person had an IQ under 130 - and he was the commanding officer. You have no idea the kind of people, the QUALITY of people, you're talking about. We are not USED, we do what we think is right, and we have the ability to see through the government bullshit, even when we were on active duty.

You owe us an apology, Janet. I want it NOW, and I want it HERE. Otherwise, you might find some of us really ARE in that group of "right-wing extremists" who believe that service to our nation begins with allegience to our Constitution, both in the letter AND the spirit of that great document.

#11 She's the OIC of the resident SMLM team OP, you're wasting your time. Get back to your light table and update the blackbook.

#12 well, in her view, anyone who stands up for or is willing to defend the U.S. Constitution w/their life blood is a right wing extremist. Count me in Janet, you sanctimonious bitch.

#13 I trully believe that Jane Napolitano and company are monitoring the emails of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I trully believe that when Obama released the mastermind of the slaughter of 19 USS Cole sailors, that a lot of our active members of the military were justifiably pissed about it.

Very pissed. And I am sure that what they expressed to each other, "the chatter" is what Napolitano is referring to.

I have one thing to say. JUSTICE is due the men who lost thier lives on the USS COLE. We should not rest until justice is served.

#14 Typical liberal progressive nonsense: our troops are always victims. They were victims of the recruiters, then they were victims of their officers, then they were victims of the evil Bushco administration, and now they're victims of right-wingers.
