Interesting note: the leftie blogosphere is lighting up wth “they were set up” and that their would have been no “plot” if the powers that be did not provide them with the fake amo – never mind the reports that one of the “misunderstood youth” said the things he said. I am sure that was someone just putting words in his mouth.

Please remember our BRAVE Soldiers, Airmen and Marines (past & present) this weekend. For if it was not for the men and women who guard Freedoms Lamp ………….. and stand at the ready ………….. we would all know the bitter taste of repression and tyranny!!

has anyone checked to see what his job is with the Obamastration?
