This is more from America hating Obama punishing conservatives who are the majority audience for patriotic military air shows and flight demonstrations.

Obama pulling these military flight teams though will hurt the big Democrat cities such as Chicago which will now lose money on the planned annual summer airshows which will face cancellation.

Honestly? I can't understand why we haven't cut all of the excess frills from the defense budget a long time ago. The Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds and the Silent Drill Team/Drum and Bugle Corps for the Marines and other like organizations are wastes of scarce resources. We should be focused on combat readiness, not wowing the tourists. I'd even pull the "Marine Band" and the ceremonial guards from the White House. 1. The band members aren't really Marines and 2. the guards need to be with the combat arms, not holding doors open for their "betters". In the real world those pinheads should be holding the doors open for the Marines - who have volunteered to risk their young lives.

They are supposed to be a "recruiting" tool but they have morphed into a circus with gay overtones (look at the "drill" with matching jumpsuits executed by the flightcrews before they board their aircraft).

The sooner our Defense Department gets serious about preparing our forces for fighting, the better.

Anything representative of American greatness or traditional values is on the top of Obama’s “Things I Hate” list.

Obama doesn’t want to be President so he can lead America - He wants to be President so he and Michelle can loot America.

No money to conduct White House tours for everyday Ameericans but hundreds of millions for Obama’s Islamic Brotherhood pals.

No money for National Parks but millions and millions for Michelles monthly vacations.

Obama says no money for the Blue Angels but okays hundreds of millions of dollars worth of F-16’s and M1 tanks for his muslim dictator pals in Egypt.

And the idiots who voted Obama into the presidency are still out there, voting and reproducing another generation of idiots.

Obama’s priority here is to cut the most Visible spending.

Make it look worse than it is.

Part of his war against America.

I’m from Seattle. The main event of the hydro races every August is the Blue Angels.

This is going to leave a mark.

Just viisted Pensacola a few months ago with the wife and visited Pensacola Naval Air Station to see the air museum and watch a Blue Angel practice.
About 5,000 fellow patriots were there to witness one fine display.
This “magic negro” really is garbage.

I have a question. We have a $3.5T dollar budget. The pro rated sequester equals about $42B dollars. That $42B cut is shutting down carrier group deployments, WH tours, tax refunds, Blue Angel flights, causing the loss of 750,000 jobs mostly teachers, firemen and policemen, cutting medical services and meals to seniors and shutting down head start programs and that is just for starters. So here’s the question. If $42B dollars is paying for all of this then what is the other $3.458B buying us?

Where is our new TVA, interstate highway system, space program, etc.?

It has been said that Air Shows are the last bastion of unbridled Patriotism, ( This has been often noted about Oskosh / EAA ) that goes for this Military Centric ones and even the little local ones with a Gen-Av centricity. Often the National Anthem is played, their is at least one small "Observer" Warbird their, and salutes to the Vets occur as well. It doesn't hurt that so many Gen-Av types have a military background.

With that said, he turned this glass of lemon juice and water into another "Fundemental Transformation" moment...

Tangent to this Gen-Av, is not all that healthy, this will further hurt is as traffic flow to shows will diminish...

As someone closer to this Industry that I am willing to let on here, this is a shot to the kidneys, these progressives don't fight fair...

The Patriots Jet Team. As good as the military teams because all the pilots come from the Snowbirds, Thunderbirds or Blue Angels. Coming to a show near you.
