You're right- I didn't scan their text, just got a glimpse of the stuff on the right side of their web page. But you are definitely right to say their politics stinks (it is worse than stink)... I am astounded to read some idiot's take on this:

Our response: "Heroes" did not boo Senator Clinton. This may sound like sacrilege, but most of the cops and firemen in this town are not heroes. They are working stiffs looking for a secure job from which they can retire in 20 years.

Good Grief! Maybe we should stuff the author into a coat and send him up into a burning building.

Actually, in one way, he's correct. We're (firefighters) working stiffs. Most of us make less than $50,000 a year. starting out, some make as little as $20,000. We raise our kids, go to work, and hope we come home safely. Personally, I'd much rather be in a burning building than working the night shift at 7-11.

We're proud of what we do, though, and I'm certainly proud of my brother fire fighters for booing Hillary offstage.

On another note, though, I picked up the same intellectual snobbery from him that I pick up on most college campuses. Try to convince a fire fighter of something, and he'll give you one h*ll of a debate if he doesn't agree with you. Try to argue with an intellectual, and they'll just sniff and lament that you obviously aren't smart enough to understand their enlightened opinion.
