There's a scene in "Moby Dick" where, the longboats have been out harpooning whales (fantastic photography!), and Captain Nemo, having learned that "the great white" was in another area has called the boats back and ordered the men aboard to go on chase.

I forget the name, but the first mate (I think) voices for the men, that it's been a productive morning, and (I think this is a quote .. ) .. "But Cap'n .. we've been killin' all mornin' ... y'can't call us in now."

Nemo ignores the plea and the fact that they are in a lucrative whale field to go on his insane quest.

Napolitano and the entire zero administration is in fear of Americans (the 2nd ammendment), and the military (they've tasted blood)

"“What it is saying is returning veterans are targets of right-wing extremist groups that are trying to recruit those to commit violent acts within the country. We want to do all we can to prevent that.”

Not that our military is blood thirsty ... but consider ...

If I (f'rinstance) returned after a tour in a combat/killing zone .. and I was there for the idealism I had been taught as a child and matured as an adult/warrior ... and came home to this zero administration ... I just might be a dangerous man on my own ... I recognize the enemy, and I have been trained to eliminate him.

zero is afraid of us

We have them surrounded ... there are more of us than them.

It is disgusting that the free, open, and honest elections in Iraq put ours to shame. {ACORN anyone? What about the “I found a box of ballot!” stories? The countless re-counts? It that Mass thing DONE yet?}

You nailed it - the military has been trained to recognize the enemy - no wonder the enemy fears them.....

and Captain Nemo,

I know your story has a point but I can't help myself, Captain Nemo was on a different ship, one that was able to under water and used a power source that was probably electric in nature generated by some unknown means. The name of the boat was the Nautilus. Sorry!:)
