#1 I believe you're correct, but IMO Barack would still be making a political mistake in dissing this event - after all, wasn't he the one whom said that he will work to earn the trust and respect of the troops??? FORT HOOD IS NOT JUST AN ARMY BASE BUT A MAJOR/SIGNIF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN TEHAS.

Lest we ferget, "DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS"???

#2 There were at least a dozen major US military installations where Bill Clinton was advised not to go, as the post commander could not guarantee his safety.

At one point he insisted on visiting an aircraft carrier. Before he landed, all sailors were asked "Do you have a problem with Clinton or his policies?", and if they answered yes, they were kept below decks, under arms, until his departure.

It is that bad. The Democrats have become to the military what the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks.

#3 It is that bad. The Democrats have become to the military what the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks.

Good. Maybe if things get bad enough in this country, the military will remember that part of their Oath about defending The Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Especially the domestic part.

#4 Myabe its Killeen that he objects to? Used to be that town had a rather bad semi-acronym for it involving the N word.

#5 Things are looking pretty bad. When my old man (WWII vet, former policeman, former Hubert Humphrey liberal) told me he'd rather live under a military junta than Obama, my ears swiveled around like a whitetail deer at a threatening sound. That crack definitely got my attention.

Bama wins, the next four years are probably going to be VERY ugly, particularly if the Dems try to come for the people's guns. I suspect they're stupid enough to try it, and I think there will be some serious killing done if they make that mistake.
