“If we find out somebody’s engaging in this stuff, they’ve got to be held accountable, prosecuted, stripped of their positions, court-martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged — period.”
Cut and paste for the WH response to the Benghazi Senate Hearings tomorrow, 11:30 ET CSPAN....wishful thinking I suppose....

Re: The Boston Police House to House search and removal of citizens from their homes video........
Which part of the Constitution is being violated here?
How about the 4th Amendment!
The Fouth Amendment was intended to create a constitutional buffer between U.S. citizens and the intimidating power of law enforcement. Three componets are here: 1. It establishes a privacy interest by recognizing the right of U.S. citizens to be "secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects." 2. Ot protects this privacy interest by prohibiting searches and seizures that are "unreasonable" or not authorized by a warrant based upon probable cause. 3. It states that no warrant may be issued to a law inforcment officer unless that warrant describes with particularity "the place to be searched., and the persons or things to be seized."
The Framers drafted the Fourth Amendment in response to their colonial experience with British officials. Here, clearly Bostonian history repeats itself!
Upon a mere suspicion held by British tax collectors issued "general warrants" which permitted blanket door-to door searches of entire neighborhoods without limitation to person or place.
This, in my estimation and if the video is accurate, demonstrates something that the normally useless and off tempo ACLU should look into....
We were all anxious to get the bastards but, once again if the video is accurate for what transpired for the Boston Bombings then the officials that gave the cops their marching orders overstepped their bounds and we citizens should be appalled at this gross violation of the 4th Amendment

Concur, with one caveat. Our biggest problem is that our society, in general, is gullible/ignorant enough to keep electing the same politicians. It reeks of the definition of insanity...keep doing the same thing with the expectation of a different outcome.
Gullible/ignorant ? Why should anyone care about who's in Congress? As long as the entitlement checks flow to
purchase votes. Collective, organized Lemmings

Interesting that POTUS finally said the word "Terrorism" this morning. I'll be the WH staff was up all night deciding whether or not to finally say it but they were compelled to; after the media now knows that the FBI considers and investigates any multiple explosion as a "Act of Terror" It would have been more important to me for the news bafoons to find an explosives expert, a real expert, to give his/her take on the circumstances.

It's long, but I pulled this off of Best Defense, Tom Rick's blog page. I thought it was pretty good stuff:
EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW IN LIFE I LEARNED AS A HELICOPTER PILOT IN VIETNAM.
1. Once you are in the fight, it is way too late to wonder if this is a good idea.
2. It is a fact that helicopter tail rotors are instinctively drawn toward trees, stumps, rocks, etc. While it may be possible to ward off this natural event some of the time, it cannot, despite the best efforts of the crew, always be prevented. It's just what they do.
3. NEVER get into a fight without more ammunition than the other guy.
4. The engine RPM and the rotor RPM must BOTH be kept in the GREEN. Failure to heed this commandment can affect the morale of the crew.
5. Cover your Buddy, so he can be around to cover for you.
6. Decisions made by someone above you in the chain-of-command will seldom be in your best interest.
7. The terms Protective Armor and Helicopter are mutually exclusive.
8. Sometimes, being good and lucky is still is not enough.
9. "Chicken Plates" are not something you order in a restaurant
10. If everything is as clear as a bell, and everything is going exactly as planned, you're about to be surprised.
11. Loud, sudden noises in a helicopter WILL get your undivided attention.
12. The BSR (Bang Stare Red) Theory states that the louder the sudden bang in the helicopter, the quicker your eyes will be drawn to the gauges. The longer you stare at the gauges the less time it takes them to move from green to red.
13. No matter what you do, the bullet with your name on it will get you. So, too, can the ones addressed "To Whom It May Concern."
14. If the rear echelon troops are really happy, the front line troops probably do not have what they need.
15. If you are wearing body armor, they will probably miss that part of you.
16. Happiness is a belt-fed weapon.
17. Having all your body parts intact and functioning at the end of the day beats the alternative.
18. If you are allergic to lead, it is best to avoid a war zone.
19. It is a bad thing to run out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas all at the same time.
20. Hot garrison chow is better than hot C-rations which, in turn, is better than cold C-rations which, in turn, is better than no food at all. All of these, however, are preferable to cold rice balls, even if they do have the little pieces of fish in them.
21. Everybody's a hero...On the ground...In the club...After the fourth drink.
22. A free fire zone has nothing to do with economics.
23. The further you fly into the mountains, the louder those strange engine noises become.
24. Medals are OK, but having your body and all your friends in one piece at the end of the day is better.
25. Being shot hurts and it can ruin your whole day.
26. "Pucker Factor" is the formal name of the equation that states the more hairy the situation is, the more of the seat cushion will be sucked up your ass. It can be expressed in its mathematical formula of S (suction) + H (height above ground ) + I (interest in staying alive) + T ( # of tracers coming your way)
27.The term 'SHIT!' can also be used to denote a situation where high Pucker Factoris being encountered.
28. Thousands of Vietnam Veterans earned medals for bravery every day. A few were even awarded.
29. Running out of pedal, fore or aft cyclic, or collective are all bad ideas. Any combination of these can be deadly.
30. There is only one rule in war: When you win, you get to make up the rules.
31. C-4 can make a dull day fun.
32. There is no such thing as a fair fight -- only ones where you win or lose.
33. If you win the battle you are entitled to the spoils. If you lose, you don't care.
34. Nobody cares what you did yesterday or what you are going to do tomorrow. What is important is what you are doing -- NOW -- to solve our problem.
35. Always make sure someone has a P-38. Uh, that's a can opener for those of you who aren't military.
36. Prayer may not help...but it can't hurt.
37. Flying is better than walking. Walking is better than running. Running is better than crawling. All of these, however, are better than extraction by Medevac, even if it is technically, a form of flying.
38. If everyone does not come home, none of the rest of us can ever fully come home either.
39. Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal your HONOR.
40. A grunt is the true reason for the existence of the helicopter. Every helicopter flying in Vietnam had one real purpose: To help the grunt. It is unfortunate that many helicopters never had the opportunity to fulfill their one true mission in life, simply because someone forgot this fact.
If you have not been there and done that you probably will not understand most of these.
# 8 May be better suited for Documentaries......thanks! Impressive web site!

The Army Aviation Viet Nam version:
"Your going home in a body bag, do da, do da
Your going home in a body bag do, da, da, day..
shot in the ass, shot between the eyes...your going home in a body bag, all day long...
Say hello to the new guy....hello! asshole!
Him, Him, ###### Him"......

Based on her comments in those other areas, I have no reason to doubt that her comments on education and parenting were planned and literal.
Exactly! Orwell, what a prophet!

Feds Spend $1.5 million to Study Obese Lesbians
Posted in Top Stories | 0 comments
Mar 12, 2013
The National Institutes of Health awarded a Boston hospital more than $1.5 million to figure out why nearly three-quarters of lesbians are overweight — calling the disparities a significant public health issue.

“It is now well-established that women of minority sexual orientation are disproportionately affected by the obesity epidemic, with nearly three-quarters of adult lesbians overweight or obese, compared to half of heterosexual women,” according to a description of the grant.
The taxpayer money was awarded to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston to study the relationship between sexual orientation and obesity. The project is overseen by S. Bryn Austin.
The grant was awarded through the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The hospital received a 2011 grant worth $778,622 and a 2012 grant worth $778,622.

Thread revival:
Today, the keeper of the bosoms in my household asked an interesting question & one I had not thought of:
Do Retirees participate in Mustache March? Any greybeards here want to chime in?
Never shaved it off and still give rides on it!

If he quits...BO should disband. His comments, mental fist fights with boneheads and his keen sense of mentorship are a BO Standard. I can't sleep at night knowing that he's out there but not involved. If he leaves I'll have to engage in more conversation with my wife and be consistently reminded that garbage day is Monday and review, ad nauseam , the honey-doo list! Please find him!
