Vandals are compounding the grief of a Tri-state soldier's family.
Not even 24-hours after Private First Class Tim Hines's wife and family said goodbye at his funeral, American flags that had adorned their Fairfield yard were piled beneath a car and burned....

This story has made me cry. I can not even begin to understand how someone could do this....they are attributing it to drunkenness....highly doubtful. It is most likely some liberal who was offended by the flags. I hope this horrible person left some evidence so they can be punished.
The American Legion believes that it is/was the veterans who gave America its civil liberties...not the ACLU. The ACLU wants all Christian and Jewish symbols to be removed from government land, including cemeteries.
The American Legion cited that one of the lawyers at the ACLU is the wife of a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals judge.
The ACLU got $900,000 of taxpayer's money for winning their case against the Boy Scouts. (The ACLU persue pro bono cases.)
-"I don't think it's a political statement," said Kramer.-
He'd be wrong.
If you can't come up with cognitive thought, banter semantics. Maybe someone will mistake it for intelligence...
"The family of a Marine who was killed in Iraq is furious with Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll for showing up uninvited at his funeral this week, handing out her business card and then saying "our government" is against the war...."
If that had been a relative of mine's funeral, Gov. Knoll would've gone in the hole with him or her.
If I ever caught the scumbags that did this, the redneck in me would come out big time!
I've not heard or seen anything of such a suit. Where is it reported? The ACLU, while a legitimate object for intense debate, generally doesn't engage in litigation it knows will be a loser. Moreover, what does the wife of a judge have to do with the subject? If that were ever a criterion then justice(nominee) Judge Robert's wife, as a vigorous anti-abortion participant, would become relevant to his confirmation; which, of course, it should not.
Stuff like that makes me angry.If they are caught they'll probably get probation.Think this incident will be on the evening news?
Matchett-PI: "Like everyone else, you exhibit an innate sense of right and wrong and justice. From where did everyone get those ideas?
Junior: "Socialization early in my life."
Matchett-PI: "So "everyone" got those ideas from "socialization in YOUR early life"? Want to try again?"
Junior:"Ah... word lawyering. I suppose just about everyone gets socialized early in his or her life. However, I can only speak to my experiences. If you can't come up with cognitive thought, banter semantics. Maybe someone will mistake it for intelligence..."
Buzzzzz. Want to try again?
"I've not heard or seen anything of such a suit. Where is it reported? The ACLU, while a legitimate object for intense debate, generally doesn't engage in litigation it knows will be a loser. Moreover, what does the wife of a judge have to do with the subject?"
This is happening in California...and it's not the ACLU that's going after the American Legion...it's the other way round...with the Legion going after the ACLU!
The judge in question doesn't recuse himself when a suit is brought by the ACLU (and his wife) before him.
I believe the perps are liberal adults. Their cowardice and sickness prove that they must belong to the moveon.org denomination.
I ask them: if you hate this country and its military so much to the point of attacking a military widow-in-grief, why don't you leave the US and live in a socialist/communist country? This will certainly improve both nations.
Anyone in that area knew they lost someone in the war. Not a drunk, just a cowardly left wing CS.
Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you have an aura about you that screams: "Danger! Danger Will Robinson! Danger!" You think?
Naah.
They darn well better catch these morons and make an example of them. This cannot be allowed to stand. Period. Prayers for this family.
No, I want them.
While everyone else wants to use fists, bats, or bullets, I'll break them on the wheel.
No quarter, no mercy, no pity, and no shame.
yet more love and peace from the Diversity/Tolerance crowd
My suggestion is that the community take a collection to replace the lost car and the flags. Then put up some security cameras around the display. Offer a reward for information on the vandalism.
