And while I'm here, I just would like to know why it seems that everything posted at FR lately, has to be so disected? IMO it's getting to be ridiculous! For crying out loud, I would just like to hang out among Patriots who have a little sense about them. Who*really* cares whether the author of this article is a commercial pilot or not?

Hello fellow aviatrix

I call you that as I read your post yesterday on you and your husbands life and his dedication to our country. As a career AF (retired) aviators son and current aviator myself I salute your families dedication to our country. And welcome to FR. Now, ignore the naysayers and uninformed. I did a search on the FAA database this morning and Captain John Maniscalco is indeed who he says he is.

As for the patriots on this board your will find more than a few here. Be patient, you will get to learn who is who. I recently signed on the beginning of this year after a tip from a friend guided me here. As with any board, take what you read and what you see with a grain of salt and your tongue in your cheek, especially when responding. As I said there are many good folks on the board, but the rest I have found to be malcontents who wouldn't be happy no matter who was in office, what laws were passed or repealed under any circumstances and will always see the glass as half empty. You will see the phrase "tin foil" used here a lot. Meaning there are a lot of conspiracy theorists and "the government is out to get me" types. I really wonder sometimes whether aliens have eroded their brainwaves and erased their thought process by not wearing their reflective tin foil hats. But fortunately they are far fewer in numbers than the good folks. For the most part FR is a wonderful place for news and current events.

I'll take this opportunity to welcome you into the USO Freeper Canteen, since you and yours are proud military members. You'll find like minds there and it to be an enjoyable experience. With that said, Snow Bunny, meet getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL.

And finally, I agree with you and JohnHuang2 and think Captain Maniscalco is deadly accurate with his assesment. When I see the arab population of this country stand up and be counted, then and ONLY then will I open my heart and mind to them. In my eyes, they are still the enemy whether on our soil or back in their own sandpit. Have a great day.

Thanks for your research. Now, perhaps, we are getting somewhere.

Second stage: Can someone verify that those are Capt. Maniscalo's words, not words falsely attributed to him on the net? (Believe me, that kind of thing is common). One main reason for my doubt was the same expressed in #s 45 and 63: that pro-Muslim groups would have made one hell of a row, putting Capt. Maniscolo's job in extreme peril. The story, remember, has been floating around since March.

Good job! Well said. The silence has been frightfully loud. With the exception of a dear Turk who posts here frequently, I have yet to hear unbridled support for America from the segment of America I wish to hear it most.

Welcome all newcomers (I'm relatively new, too.)and join with us in our fervent love of our country and its patriots.
