CaleB kIllIan graduates From u.s. marIne Corps Boot Camp the next laugh By truman Jones Caleb Killian, son of William H. and Donna Killian of Fredericktown, graduated from Marine Corps boot camp at MCRD, San Diego, CA on August 12, 2012. Killian graduated from boot camp as a Private First Class and received recognition for qualifying “expert” in marksmanship. Killian was also chosen to be prayer leader for his platoon. During the 13 weeks of boot camp, he was trained in both class and field environments in first aid, uniform regulations, combat water survival, marksmanship, handto-hand combat, the basics of the M16A4 service rifle and close order drill. He will report to Camp Pendleton, CA for his next phase of training at the School of Infantry. In an alternative universe (the one many of us are dreaming of and working toward), this announcement might say: Caleb Killian, son of Wiliam H. and Donna Killian of Fredericktown, graduated from U.S. Peace and Love Corps boot camp at MCRD, San Diego, CA on August 12, 2012. Killian graduated from boot camp as a Private First Class and received recognition for qualifying expert in compassion. Killian was also chosen to be prayer leader for his platoon. During the 13 weeks of boot camp, he was trained in both class and field environments in first aid, uniform regulations, water preservation and desalinization, astronomy, hand-to-hand massage, the basics of vegetarian cuisine and close order jitterbugging. He will return to Fredericktown, MO, to lead us in drum circles, elaborate games of charade, campfire stories (by turns spooky and hilarious), and will conduct a workshop at Courthouse Square on how to irreversibly transform bayonets into pruning hooks, once and for all. http://madisoncountycrier.net/
francesmadeson@gmail.com You can send her your own thoughts. I did. Now I’ll probably get a knock on the door soon from some neat hair cuts carrying brief cases and side arms. -WB

People are trying to educate this poor liberal (see the first link) but she really does not get it. I don't see her staying in this town too much longer. I'm going to try and remember to follow up on this in the future and see how she's doing.
I found the blog the most annoying.
The condescension was palpable.
Bump to see what happens to the noob.
Yep, it was pretty bad.
If you’re planning to be more than a one hit wonder, get thee to the course, “How to post threads on FR.”
Drum circles? Jeez!
Pray for this Marine! He’s going to meet my brother and his buddies at SOI! Lord have mercy on his soul! LOL! semper Fi!
Congratulations, daxjaxter. You have made a friend of my friend, Shibumi.
Follow his advice, and you will do well here.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Thanks for the chance to insult a pretentious leftist. I read all the comments on the FB page, and was royally entertained, especially by the email posted in which she called a group of women “niggerish”, thus revealing the racist streak possessed by all leftists. :)
I think it serves a useful purpose. First, the writer conveyed the news of a young, patriotic American's graduation from boot camp. His family, friends, community, and now many thousands of Americans are aware of his decision to volunteer in service of our nation and defense of our Constitution. Perhaps his story will encourage others. May Private Killian return safely to his loved ones at the conclusion of his service to our nation.
The second half of the story also serves a useful purpose. It shows the kind of unrealistic, naive, utopian nonsense that flows around the minds of some liberals. Yes, there really are people that think we can all sit around in a drum circle chanting Kumbaya and waiting for the unicorn to arrive before massage time and our vegan granola snack time.
Private Killian is no doubt smart enough to know that too, and realizes that like children, he must protect them too, for they are too immature and foolish to do so themselves. The rest of the readers of the Madison County Crier also now know just how ignorant and foolish one of the authors at that publication is.
Liberals will do anything for attention (i.e. news is now entertainment propaganda and entertainment has become shrill nonsense lacking intelligence, inspiration and beauty). They are insecure. That's why it is so important to them to pretend they are the special ones.
Liberals see good and normal and turn it up-side-down and then embody the opposite. They strive to claw everyone down into their craven attention whore existence. They are on a roll lately. The family should keep this article as representative of this nutty period in American life where the far left inmates had a crack at running the show.
This twit of a “writer” won’t be employed there much longer.
She owns the “paper”. She moved her “elite and superior” rear end from NY to MO to educate and enlighten the “hicks”.
When this paper meets the fate of so many others, that will be a lesson in economics that goes right over her head.
Only a person with an entitlement mentality would knowingly take a dump on all her neighbors’ love of country and the sacrifice of service of this young man, and STILL expect them to patronize her business?
I’ll bet you a hamburger that her rag is going down the tubes anyway, and she took this as an opportunity to blame the demise of her paper on her community- saying that they’re all narrow minded bigots shunning her for exercising her freedom of speech”
If there is an update, I anticipate the prominent presentation of a victim card in all its liberal glory.
Bulls-eye, PM. In the blog, this person is clear that what she really hates is JROTC, wants it yanked out of the school but can't get anybody in town to agree with her. This will not end well for the little J-school social worker.
Rather typical of big-city people who move to small towns, then try to change them to be more like the big cities.
Hard to believe this young thing would go out of her way to pi$$ off a whole town, eh?
She’s chosen to double down, after threatening the advertisers who were leaving.
