1. I loved the patriotic and rebellious aspect of the video. 2. I was disappointed when it turned into a Katrina whine fest, as they were their own worst enemies.. They say they wouldn't let them over the bridge-hell, I wouldn't want those animals in my town, either. Just look at what they did to the towns and cities that took them in.. You can't just have thousands of people, classless people as the Katrina lot was, pouring into a neighboring town.. That would be anarchy, and more people would have suffered... That one black boy was deemed a hero for STEALING a school bus and driving a busload to Texas when he should have been put in prison!! He later ended up in prison on cocaine charges... 3. I was in the Army for 8 years, and I don't think there are enough of these patriots to make a difference. Most servicememembers are pretty much obedient to their chain of command. Sad but true... If people started to dissent, other servicemembers would likely shoot them-they're under orders to keep peace within the ranks, and if you start getting rogue soldiers, it's going to get ugly, and the military will win and enforce the orders of the Commander in Chief.. Even if he's a traitor to this country, as Obama is. Not that I don't want it to be true and a successful coup, but I just don't see it happening. It only takes one person to make a video for the Internet.. It takes hundreds of thousands more to subvert the military and protect Americans from their Fascist leader. |

We'll see, but in the mean time, "Home Land Security" is wasting no time building the rhetoric and labeling putting out an alarm. Homeland Security on guard for 'right-wing extremists'
Returning U.S. military veterans singled out as particular threats

WASHINGTON – A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed "right-wing extremists" concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats.
The report, titled "Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," dated April 7, states that "threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts."
However, the document, first reported by talk-radio host and WND columnist Roger Hedgecock, goes on to suggest worsening economic woes, potential new legislative restrictions on firearms and "the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks."
The report from DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines right-wing extremism in the U.S. as "divided into those groups, movements and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups) and those that are mainly anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."
"[T]he consequences of a prolonged economic downturn – including real estate foreclosures, unemployment and an inability to obtain credit – could create a fertile recruiting environment for right-wing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past," the report says.Read the rest of the article here |

I was going to go into Worcester, but Boston promises to be more fun! |

Awesome! Glad you can make it to Boston! I can't wait to see the pictures and video if you can.
I'm not going to be able to go, this past week we've been battered by a flue.
HAVE FUN!
