I could not agree with you more.

Frankly, if my personal freedom, life and my belief in God were not important to me, I would deal with these traitors personally and without mercy. I sometimes feel condemned to being nothing more another shouting voice, directing his words at a sack of human waste.

They best pray that a true nut case doesn’t decide to come to the argument.

While I find these freaks disgusting, I don’t want to hate them, but that emotion is very close to the surface with me over this attack against our President, our brave Troops and their families.

I guess I should just shut up now, as when it comes to these ———g traitorous democrat bast-—s, words fail me. Cowards, every single one of them.

From everything I’ve read, which is still sketchy even now, United 93 was probably headed for the White House.

This will delay development of new Counter IED equipment. How rich is this. Dingy Harry and SanFranNan will have blood on their hands because of this.

This must be rubbed in their faces!

For which I am grateful, as I was two buildings over and would have been involved in any crash that day.

Bush should cancel Christmas... at least for Congress anyway... by calling a special session of congress that will last until they cut the check. Nobody leaves town until the war funding is passed.

He sure can. From Section 3 of the US Constitution:

he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper;

The last President to do so was Truman, I believe.

That would be fun to watch but I think the money will be there before the Christmas break. The freaks in congress know withholding money for our troops won’t play well at home.

The military then can become a troop-funded enterprise. The troops can use their personal funds (without any salary, allowances, or other emoluments from the public Treasury) to purchase any civilian-legal food, armaments, fuel, or other supplies. They may be required to pay gift tax on any such purchases used to further military action and sales tax in their home States and the States in which their bases are located.

I remember when Newt stood up to Clinton and who was blamed for the shut down by the MSM? The evil republicans. I’m sure the MSM will blame this on Bush if they haven’t already. It’s journalism 101; republicans bad, democrats good.

Of course you're right.
This time the MSM will be busy beatifying the "principled"
Democrats for trying to shut down an important part of our guvmint.
The part that protects us and a LOT of our friends.

They will have no salary to start with,,,(no funds)

Hopefully the contractors will be able to go”on the cuff”

to keep the war supplied,,,

Time to Light Up The Phones !!...

Last time I was in D.C. was August 2004. It was sobering to see the gigantic concrete barriers blocking Pennsylvania Avenue.

yes - the larger contracting companies can float the salaries for a little while

Radical Muslims are always badmouthing Hollywood but they never do anything about.
