#1 So this isn't the military's fault?

Wait for this one: Mrs. Bobby says a recent study shows more forclosures are clustered around military bases. (She figures they have less choice about when to move than the general population.)

That may only be in the D.C. area, but when The New York Times picks up on it, it'll be "Soldiers Skip Out" or "Military Abandons Transferred Troops".

#2 JHC, these two fuckers need to swing. The needle's too good for them. Let Robert's fire team have some bayonet practice on them.

#3 Mrs. Bobby says a recent study shows more forclosures are clustered around military bases.

Mrs. Bobby hasn't lived around military bases to understand that the ~~camp follower~~ communities go back to the WWII eras. They're little Kerryvilles* of previous generations. That even the military authorized to live off base don't live there because to paraphrase someone of renown, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy". They're little ghettos that only people of low income could afford in many of the municipal areas which correlates to the 'special' mortgage programs that Congress pressed banks to issue for diversity goals.

*Kerryville (n), life, style, and perspective forever frozen in time of the pre-1980s.

#4 Ean Farrow, 19, and Thomas Ray III, 20, both of Cleveland. Why not let the Marines take care of these two. Let the fellow Marines decide if these two have any aspects worthy of living on this earth. Then they can use them for target practice. It will help young promising men learn to shoot and protect our country, while, saving American taxpayers if they go to prison.

#5 Ohh, but Ohio is the swing state that decides the fate of the nation in elections? Puhlease. The rust belt continues to be a disasterous drag on the rest of America. All that dem socialism is sure creating a utopia, huh yah?

#6 Am I the only one who thinks that graphic is completely inappropriate? For any story.

#7 I've removed the graphic. It's inappropriate when talking about one of our fine young Marines, that's for sure.

AoS

#8 As to the two accused men, let's not become vigilantes about this. We have a justice system, so let's let it work. They get lawyers, a judge, and a jury. Let's make sure the prosecutor does his/her job properly; we don't want another Nifong-style travesty.

If they're guilty, and if they're convicted, and if the conviction holds up on appeal, then they get the death penalty.

#9 What are you trying to say about Rantburgers, Steve White? That is the second time you have pulled that stunt today in the comment sections.

Why don't you have the courage to be more direct in your insulting of people here?

#10 I thought Dr. White's comments were clear and non-insulting. If you want to get on his case about the pink highlighting, that's one thing but questioning his courage is quite another.

#11 Dr. White

Yeah. Precisely what I am refering to. Has always presented himself as better than anyone else with his put downs, and per NSpimble, all must bow down...

#14 Jerk? Why don't you come right out with your name calling, too, Barbi baby.

I thought we were being called "Vigilantes" by the HIGHLY educated, better than all of you White.

Or maybe we should be kissing the butts of anti-war Liberals as White wants us to do per a comment on another part of the page, since he testified that he is a liberal, too. Oh, but Liberal only to a certain extent.

What liberal university did you go to White? One that with the ACLU destroyed any moral influence in that university and then allows for "Free Palestine" mantras and foot baths for the Mohammedans in America?

Next time you stand up for the murderers of a Marine shot in the neck on a street corner, then say they should get the death penalty, (two faced and narrow minded perspective) don't leave out the media and the entire Liberal establishment that fermented that hatrid of that Marine on the street corner in an American city, chump.

#15 Good Lord, www - that's positively unhinged.

You need to chill. That's completely uncalled for. I certainly hope you're not sober.

#16 You want to see unhinged? A marine survives Basra only to come back to America to be taken out at a bus stop.

THAT is unhinged. Unless you have a good Dr. telling folks to chill about it...

Now, all you folks get back to your happy la la land, while America continues it downward spiral. Oh, by the way troops, better stay in Iraq. At least there, no liberals have influenced society to take you out when you are unarmed and back in the US.
