Nancy Pelosi supports the troops–the Canadian troops, that is
Last year, the DNC embarrassed itself with a website purporting to support US troops. Only one problem, as a sharp-eyed tipster told me: The soldier depicted in the patriotic display was Canadian.
Oopsy.
Looks like the Democrats are still using webmasters who don’t have a clue what American troops look like–and they are working in Nancy Pelosi’s office. McQ at Q&O has the screenshots (which are likely to disappear soon, if Pelosi’s staff is awake today). The one above comes from the front page of Pelosi’s official speaker’s website. Here’s the close-up of the soldier with “CANADA” on her epaulets:
Can the Dems get anymore snort-worthy?
Like Blackfive said in response to last year’s DNC website gaffe: “…how screwed up must you be to post about how much your party supports the troops, but not know who your troops are?”
Answer: Pretty screwed up.

freedommarie, you can look at my comments in #83 for a more comprehensive list, besides the website error.
While I totally support and respect our Canadian brothers, this is a little over the top. That a women in a position of power such as Ms. Pelosi doesn’t know what an American Military uniform looks like, well its just flat out scary really.
“So you admit Fox can’t tell a black person from another one?”
Well, according to DNC Chairman Howard Dean, Republicans can’t get people of color into a room unless you count the waitstaff.
But THAT’S not a racist comment, right?
Yeah, that 9-11 thing was an inside job, right? Fire doesn’t melt steel? The GWOT is just a bumper sticker?
freedomamerie said:
“You guys gotta be desperate.”
No, lass, desperate is not knowing the difference between an American soldier and a foreign one.
Unless you plead incompetent on Pelosi’s behalf.
Those are the only two choices. I do agree with you that Pelosi has put herself in an ongoing situation that supplies her detractors with a whole lot of ammo. And with lots of great good fun in laughing at her total cluelessness (and/or incompetence) on this.
Folks who have served in our military (that US military, BTW) likely are not laughing as much at Nancy’s bunglings , though.
Incorrectly cut-and-paste? Are you kidding???? This not only shows further contempt, it shows downright INCOMPETENCE on her part!!!
And what is just as despicable is that you and other moonbats use this as a launch pad to attack the President.
Actually, I too support the Canucks. But I doubt that Congress should be providing funds to them, Nancy.
I notice the military pic / story has been replaced with one touting the House’s movement to “reduce the levels of carbon dioxide emitted by house operations…”
Guess that means they won’t be talking as much.
Yeah, it’s not her fault she’s so incompetent she can’t even display a soldier from ~our~ country….
Must be part of a grand Rovian plot…
They are passing out beano as we speak!
First jdawg I have no idea how you equate my comment with 9-11 conspiracy theorist (who, I agree, have zero credibility) and think that there is a global war on terror, but also that fact has been used to justify a lot of abuses of power by this government. But whatever.
More on topic, was the original picture on the website bigger? Cause the only iteration I have seen of it has been on secondary sources. For example, I cannot clearly make out the word “Canada” on the woman’s shoulder-thingy on the pic above. And since I apparently skipped class on the day we were all supposed to memorize the cut and color of every issued uniform for every branch of the military, I must admit, alas, that I could not tell that the “color of that uniform and the design of the epaulets” was not correct. Clearly I am Al-Quaeda.
I would guess they are to busy dodging IMDs to laugh.
chapoutier: Perhaps you may not be able to tell that the uniform color & epaulet design was wrong – but the office of the Speaker of the House SHOULD be able to.
That’s the point I think most of us are making.
jdawg said:
“Must be part of a grand Rovian plot…”
Shhhh! Don’t divulge the secret plan whereby Karl did this to make Pelosi look like an cluesless incompetent!
BHUWUA-HWUAH-HAA!!!
No, just woefully misinformed. The Canada on the shoulder board is quite clear. But you prove the point that Pelosi’s supporters figured we’d be so stupid, or ignorant, or uninformed as to not see the error.
And I do find it interesting that liberals always take the tack of trying to divert attention away from the real issue rather than say, yeah, it was a dumb mistake.
Pelosi screws up on her web site – instantly liberals say, “yeah, see, Bush is dumb, bush is stupid, blah, blah, blah.”
Oops, sorry. Can I still be part of the VRWC?
MUHAHAHAHAHA
And if you can seriously tell me that Pelosi is sitting there coding her own site and choosing the pictures and everything, then I will concede.
Now to a certain extent, she or anyone is responsible for what is on their site, of course. But come on. The first time she probably ever saw that pic was when this little tempest erupted over it. Blame her for maybe not exercising enough editorial control over her site, but don’t make this into “stupid san fran lib/dem/moonbat hates troops” That is overreaction.
As Michelle mentioned in her posting, this is the second time the Democrats, in some form or another, used stock photos of Canadian soldiers when they were trying to show an American soldier. How many times does it take until an “oversight” isn’t an “oversight” any longer? I call it ignorance and sloppiness.
One would think that a rep would have pictures of military from their own district available,but since this is a district where the military need not show their face,,,probably makes sense that they do not have any.
Maybe she does, but even if she isn’t, her staff IS and they should know better, for crying out loud!!!
Chapoutier: “And if you can seriously tell me that Pelosi is sitting there coding her own site and choosing the pictures and everything, then I will concede.”
If Pelosi doesn’t have the management skill to oversee a website, why should we trust her to run a war?
As many posters have said, it is more disturbing that she used this opportunity to bash President Bush (Commander in Chief).
I don’t understand the mindset that she ‘has to’ bash Bush. She isn’t running against President Bush.
I guess it’s the only thing she can use to get support. She certainly doesn’t have a positive agenda to lead the nation on, so she resorts to the fact that she ‘hates Bush too’.
I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt when she became Speaker, but she is farther beyond the pale than any professional, distinguished, public servant should be.
pssst Pelosi, your agenda is showing. . . AGAIN.
Or Congress?
Not that Canadian troops aren’t great, but geez…
I like the cute little diversion to pointing fingers at Fox, heck they have labeled Romney as a (D) on more then one occasion when showing clips of him, which then went down the path to a hint of racism by the comment somebody made about “so you agree Fox can’t tell black people apart”. Might I suggest the commentor visit Hot Air and view this video.
I can’t imagine why we’d expect the Office of the Speaker of the House, the person 3rd in line to be Commander in Chief, to ever be able to recognize the difference between American Soldiers in Iraq & Canadian Soldiers in Afghanistan or the daily uniforms worn by those serving in the US military vs. those from another country. Let me guess they support the troops but oppose the uniforms… or should we give her half credit because she did manage to focus on troops from the same continent… nuance & all?
This supposed faux pas is indicative of the type of focus & complete commitment dear Nancy & the Democratic controlled Congress have shown in all of their efforts regarding healthcare, the economy, the GWOT, supporting the troops, cleaning up corruption in Congress, establishing & maintaining a 5 day work-week for Congress, eliminating pork spending & has lead to the stunning 14% approval rating. Let me guess another clear mandate from the American people?
It does make me wonder what uniforms Harry Reid was looking at when he proclaimed the War in Iraq is lost?
For the record I posted a similiar post over at QandO.
“I would guess they are to busy dodging IMDs to laugh.”
Between that and Pelosi’s continuing attacks on Americans, our brave servicepeople do indeed have a difficult job protecting you and me.(They can certainly endure the “you stupid GIs” “joke”-attacks lobed at them by John Kerry and the Democrat Party.)
And you do bring up a good question – which is worse:
Pelosi’s attempts to force the American’s troops to surrender to Al Qaeda or Pelosi’s total inability to even be able to identify American troops?
Obviously, Pelosi’s blantant anti-America & anti-troop crusade is much more damaging and problematic to America’s troops than her total ignorance re: the American’s servicepeople’s uniforms.
#104 Chaptwit
Oh trust me Al Queda knows what our uniforms look like. Now that you proven you are not smarter then a 5th grader you can come over to my house anytime and I will show what our uniforms look like.
Last time I checked, Pelosi did not start the war, mismanage the war, or cut off funding for it so I am wondering exactly how she has been so damaging.
1. Showing up for work.
Ummm, yeah, that pretty much does it.
Oh please. Like I said, on the photos I have seen, “Canada” is not distinguishable. So if we are just going by the friggin color of the shirt or the design of the epaulet I guarantee that the vast majority of non-military americans could not tell you with any certainty whether it was U.S. military or not.
“I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt when she became Speaker”
Ah, you’re a nice soul.
Unless Pelosi had “repented” and had a genuine Damascus road experience somewhere along the way, I didn’t expect a leopard to change it’s spots.
(I’ll let you unmix my metaphors, lol)
Yes, it is. However, if you choose to NOT see it, that is another matter.
2 + 2 = 5 – Not because I want you to believe it, but because you ACTUALLY do believe it…
She did lead a campaign to delay the funding. That delay lasted for 3 months. Are you aware of what effect that delay had on the troops and operations worldwide? If she had her way there would be no military. She meets with the leaders of countries who are supplying arms and support to the very people who are shooting at and blowing up our troops. Don’t give me this Grandma Pelosi crap. She is simply an elected clone of Jane Fonda.
“I would guess they are to busy dodging IMDs to laugh.”
For the record – our troops are dodging I.E.D.’s – Improvised Explosive Devices
IMD’s are what we are all trying to dodge –
Incompetent Mindless Democrats.
Chapoutier: “Last time I checked, Pelosi did not start the war, mismanage the war, or cut off funding for it so I am wondering exactly how she has been so damaging.”
By encouraging our enemies abroad that, although they can never win the war in Iraq militarily, they can still win the war politically on the American home front by wearing down the will of the American people with the tacit support of the Democrats. Just like in Vietnam.
Ok… lets get things cleared up here
1. San Francisco values is a term that should not be used… there are people of all political opinions who live in SF but sadly the vocal minority tend to be the extreme left (we could say the same for other regions of the country from the extreme neocons)
2. The blue Angels should not fly over SF like they do… it is indeed a nuasance (planes near mach 1 buzzing a city doesn’t happen much elsewhere) and dangerous their flight patterns break most standard air show regulations
3. Nancy does not seem to get it insulting our men and women in uniform by making such a stupid mistake (twice). Shame on her.
And Chap Al Queda can also tell the difference between Canadian and American troops in Afghanistan. The Canadians have taken some serious casualties in Afghanistan in relation to their numbers, something like 60 killed. There is a reason they attack in the Canadian sectors. They think the going will be easier but it isn’t. Since there is virtually no reporting on how many Taliban and Al Queda I will not venture a number but a good rule of thumb is 10 dead terrorists for every coalition death. You do the math.
I think traitor is a better fit…

Actually, the vast majority of non-military conservative Americans could certainly pick it out, having had relatives and friends serve in the military. I’ll grant you the vast majority of non-military liberal Americans could not pick it out, having no contact with the military.
It is exactly those militarily illiterate Americans, who include Pelosi and her staff, who think the war is unwinnable due to ignorance about the military, its capabilities, and the nature of guerrilla war.
Chapoutier: “Oh trust me Al Queda knows what our uniforms look like.”
I doubt that the average Al Qaeda member knows sh** from shinola. However, Al Qaeda knows that anyone in a uniform is their enemy, since only soldiers of countries that abide by international law, such as the Geneva Convention, wear uniforms to identify themselves as combatants. Al Qaeda regards such man-made law as blasphemy.
This picture is worth 1,000 words and reveals total ignorance as well as distain for those who secured and maintain our freedoms by defending the Constitution of the United States of America.
“I am wondering exactly how she has been so damaging.”
Primarily in giving ongoing comfort and hope to Al Qaeda, whom Harry Reid claims have defeated the troops. Both Pelosi The Clueless and Harry (”America’s been defeated!”) Reid have pushed for America surrender to Al Quada in Iraq. Further, Pelosi demands that the Americans give notice to Al Qaeda as to the time of such surrender.
Sadly for the anti-America’s troops types, Reid and Pelosi’s surrender bill did not pass.
That Pelosi is so incompetent on this matter is just another “freudian”-like admission of her deeper anti-America wont.
May I direct your attention to the map of AF installations in the good ‘ol US of A which, gasp, have palnes flying at Mach 1 or more on a daily basis.
supersean: “2. The blue Angels should not fly over SF like they do… it is indeed a nuasance (planes near mach 1 buzzing a city doesn’t happen much elsewhere) and dangerous their flight patterns break most standard air show regulations.”
What a load of pure nonsense this is. No aircraft flies at Mach 1 around San Francisco. Not the Blue Angels. Not anyone. If the Blue Angels passed over San Francisco at Mach 1 they would be past the crowd before anyone spotted them and would break thousands of windows in the city with a sonic boom.
The Blue Angel shows strictly follow all aviation regulations, as does the military everywhere. Every military aviator understands that such regulations are written in blood, ie are the distilled wisdom of accident review boards.
You simply don’t know what you’re talking about.
“IMD’s are what we are all trying to dodge -
Incompetent Mindless Democrats.”
Actually, I really thought the angry poster was confusd by the “Internet Movie Database”, there. Hmmm…we don’t need Pelosi to attest to the liberal cluelessness and contempt for any and all things US military. But she does makes a good (bad?) object lesson of it in her ongoing display of ignorance.
Just a Grunt #137
Yes, there are many air bases throughout the US (even some located near heavily populated ares) however it would be extremely rare for 2 or more fighters to buzz a city while performing acrobatic maneuvers
And I’m not against the Blue Angels I just think they need to modify their flight plans
Actually, the vast majority of non-military conservative Americans could certainly pick it out, having
had relatives and friends serve in the military.the ability to readNot that your original quote was incorrect, but I thought I’d clarify it a bit for our liberal friends…
“Actually, the vast majority of non-military conservative Americans could certainly pick it out”
Yup, yup. That fact makes it even more embarrassing that the person 3rd in US Presidental secession can not.
Why is it surprising that such a mistake would be made, given that so many of her minions thought Jessie MacBeth was a Ranger, that Border Patrol agents (Ramos and Compean) are criminals, and a certain senator, acting as First Lady, thought the proper use of the USMC honor guard was to distribute canapes at gala events?
This would be so much better if it were fiction.
SuperSean, The Blue Angels fly their shows at about 400 knots, not near Mach 1 – a small point, but why exagerate? Many people love to see them fly and they do amazing things (pushing the envelope at air shows) to show their skill, and to bolster recruiting. They do fly shows near other major cities with the same frequency as S.F. – once a year.
However, the point of the post seems lost on you, the Speaker of House claims to support our troops, but has pictures of Canadians on her website to show how much she “cares.” Many of us think that shows how little she cares. Some of us also think it’s indicative of the thinking of many on the left, who – we think – have little understanding of our military, and are showing them disrespect by not even taking the time to have an appropriate picture on their websites. I ask you – why is it the Speaker of the House doesn’t have dozens of pictures of herself shaking hands with troops (ours, not Syrian) that she could use on her site?
There, fixed…
;-}
Tantor:
Not to get off topic here but I do know what I am talking about (USN retired). The blue angels are issued a waiver to the FAA rules and regulations concerning air show and acrobatic performances.
1. The airspeeds for some of the maneuvers performed over the city can indeed reach near supersonic speeds
2. Most military and civilian air show regulations require that all maneuvers be contained within a air show’s “aerobatic box” and that aircraft direct all energy away from crowds and populated areas. This is not the case with the blue angels who perform these OVER and directed towards populated areas. Any mishap would certainly impact and potentially injure those on the ground.
Again, i do not support the calls for canceling the show but do think that some of the arguments are valid.
They’ve yanked the pic now. Ha ha.
comments test #1, thanks
Just a grunt # 133
I no longer live in the San Francisco region, but I can tell you that maybe if the Republican party actually placed a viable candidate and propositions into the area they would get some traction. It is as if the GOP gave up on the region (which they should not)
I can’t believe the Speaker actually thinks she supports the troops when she can’t tell the difference between a U.S. Military uniform as opposed to one of our allies…Shameful!
Pelosi Galore is a nemesis to the Republic. Perhaps her Botox leaked into her eyes while she proofed the pic for her site.
Maybe Pelosi Galore made a promise to the Syrians not to portray American troops in a positive light while she was cutting treaties with those scoundrels.

Last post on this topic:
What are the fastest and slowest speeds flown during an air show?
The fastest speed is about 700 mph (just under Mach 1; sneak pass) and the slowest speed is about 120 mph (indicated speed; Section High Alpha), both flown by the solo pilots during the show.
Source: http://www.blueangels.com/faq.shtml
Pelosi is one of the reasons I am voting for Tancredo in 08. She has illegals working in her boutique hotel in LA and on her winery vineyard in Sonoma county California. Oh, but she is all for homeland security and the American worker. Can you spell G-A-G reflex?
Aloha Guy:
Please explain to me how my post shows a lack of understanding on the threads original post
I said
“Nancy does not seem to get it insulting our men and women in uniform by making such a stupid mistake (twice). Shame on her.”
I recently read a book titled AWOL. The female author revealed that even with a master’s degree in international relations that she had no idea of the chain of command in the United States military. Why would anyone think that Pelosi was any more educated?
My Bad
That’s pretty insulting there Nancy. We already know you don’t give a rat’s behind about our military … but must it be so blatant?
Supersean: “Not to get off topic here but I do know what I am talking about (USN retired).”
I don’t think that you do, even serving in the Navy.
Supersean: “The blue angels are issued a waiver to the FAA rules and regulations concerning air show and acrobatic performances.”
Does it occur to you that regulations written for slow speed aircraft would not apply to high speed jets? If the Blue Angels require a higher ceiling and floor altitude, that doesn’t mean they are breaking aviation regulations.
Supersean “1. The airspeeds for some of the maneuvers performed over the city can indeed reach near supersonic speeds”
B*******. A sonic boom is created as an aircraft approaches Mach 1 because the air flows over the aircraft faster than the aircraft flies. Such a sonic boom would trash San Francisco. It would be immediately obvious when windows started shattering.
You can not put on a decent airshow flying at the speed of sound. Your turn radius would be enormous, maybe two miles, far outside of the sight of the audience. Air shows necessarily need to be flown at fairly low speed to keep the action within the bounds of the airfield where the audience can see the jets.
Supersean “2. Most military and civilian air show regulations require that all maneuvers be contained within a air show’s “aerobatic box” and that aircraft direct all energy away from crowds and populated areas. This is not the case with the blue angels who perform these OVER and directed towards populated areas. Any mishap would certainly impact and potentially injure those on the ground.”
I don’t believe there is any airshow put on by the US military that is set up to endanger civilian populations, especially since the Ramstein air show crash. The Blue Angels, like the other demonstration teams, have to fly along the axis of the runway they are referencing, which directs their energy away from the crowds.
Flying over a crowd is not inherently dangerous in straight and level flight. Likewise, you can perform stunts where the energy may be directed toward populated areas which are out of range of any accident.
And please, who are you kidding. The Blue Angels show in San Francisco is flown over the Bay: http://fleetweek.us/fleetweek#airshow
That’s about as safe an environment as you can get.
Supersean; “Again, i do not support the calls for canceling the show but do think that some of the arguments are valid.”
I disagree. The objections to the Blue Angels are contrived by people ignorant of aviation but highly charged with anti-military prejudice. You don’t see them protesting the Team Oracle performance which is billed on the same show.
Excuse me for being truthful…the epaulet does NOT say CANADA.
Again, you guys are being desperate.
OK, what do you see on that epaulet?
Tantor:
After seeing your credentials on your blog, I’ll take your position as a subject matter expert (please do see my previous post highlighting the speeds).
However I do stand on my position that the air show can be excessively noisy and the little red Oracle plane just does not have the same db levels! To make my position clear on this subject is that they need to limit their over the city (they fly over almost the ENTIRE city during practice sessions) and stick 100% to the during aerobatics
THank you (abd my apologies michelle for this thread detour)
I will end by saying this I demand that Nancy Pelosi apologize to the men and women in uniform for her blatent disrespect.
#163..
You are joking, right?
BTW, you never did tell us what that epaulet ~really~ says….
This is much the same as the way “Hollyweird” so often seems to get the US Flag on our soldier’s uniforms incorrect. Hollyweird seems to like to show our young heroes in retreat. To those who know the correct way of displaying the US Flag on military uniforms know what the “reverse side flag” is. Hollyweird is reverse of the reverse (no news there though). Is it an intentional maligning of our military or just ignorance and stupidity by the leftists in Hollyweird? You make the call.
Jeez, even Canada’s soldiers have to come here for their health care given the dismal state of Canada’s socialist health care system.
Well, atleast they didnt use a picture of a doctor giving a terrorist a check up.
Maybe I shouldnt give them any ideas.
#165
How do you know it says CANADA?
Because I can read.
Seriously, you are adding nothing to this discussion.
You made the claim the epaulet says something other than what it says, yet you cannot answer a simple question; what do you think it says?
That tells me you are nothing but a troll, so either answer, or go away.
God Bless all our service Men & Women. freedomamerie look at the picture. The shoulder area where the rank is.
Tantor, I think you misunderstand “near supersonic speeds.” Near supersonic speeds do not cause sonic booms. In the Blue Angels, the diamond flies at lower speeds, while the opposing solos go at near the speed of sound.
Then, tell us what you think it reads!!!
It clearly says CANADA!!!
What, do you work for Pelosi?
Or are you just another id10t moonbat troll?
Oh, I get it, you think everyone else is too stupid to see what it says…
jdawg said:

“Because I can read.”
Heh. That’s a 3 pointer! With some people you just can’t emphasize the incredibly obvious enough.
But you can’t expect the overwhelming majority of liberals to figure even that out on their own. More’s the pity.
And this clown continues to go down the same road.
Sounds like some liberal talk show hosts I’ve seen/heard.
“What, just because the letters read ‘CANADA’, you actually think it says ‘CANADA’? How do you know? Can you be sure?”
knotheads…
Actually, I think the second image is clear enough that it’s a safe wager that the epaulet does indeed show, “Canada.” But the point is, anyone familiar with American military uniforms can recognize at a glance that the image doesn’t show an American uniform.
This episode is illustrative of how Pelosi and her fellow-travelers think about the military: in a nutshell, they don’t.
Using a picture of a non-US servicemember to illustrate the site reveals an unmistakable “La-de-da” attitude when it comes to getting the details straight. It’s not as if there aren’t hundreds, or thousands of photos of genuine American military personnel available, and yet they still managed to get it wrong.
And they got it wrong because they don’t care, and they don’t give a d*mn.
Still, I can’t blame Pelosi’s Web site folks entirely for the screw-up; they no doubt believed that their target audience (i.e., anyone who cares enough about Nancy Pelosi to bother checking out her site) shared the same, “Who cares?” philosophy when it comes to showing proper respect to those who wear the uniform.
In short, they didn’t think anyone would notice. But that’s what makes it all the more telling: “Soldiers, schmoldiers.” That’s the perfect encapsulation of the Pelosi-style mindset. The Web site screw-up was just a symptom of the larger disease.
freedomamerie:
Give it a rest already .. this is clearly not the uniform of a US Officer
Regulus,
It goes beyond what you said – it shows an utter lack of respect for our soldiers and the American people – they think we’re all just too darn stooopid to see it.
And when we do see it, they try to tell us (1) we’re not seeing what’s there in front of our faces and, (2) Bushitler is eevvvviilllll.
It also shows incompetence to do even one simple thing right. Yet, they are running the country?
God help us all.
All,
This is part of Shamnesty I am hoping Michelle, will keep on this issue, I wanted to post this where relevant I think it is relevant to all Americans. This youtube video is all about defrauding American’s of American Jobs, showing empolyers how to hire cheap labor, instead of Americans it is called “The Goal of Perm” I watched this on Special Report on Fox News and couldn’t believe it so I went to Youtube to see for myself. According to the law firm Cohen and Grisby they are being misunderstood..watch for yourselves and decide.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=TCbFEgFajGU
Laree,
Yeah, it’s OT, but it does make the point. You reallly didn’t hear what was said.

Oh, yeah, definitely ignore-worthy to be sure.
I’m not certain if the confused lass actually thinks Pelosi’s screw-up is really a Rove plot. I hope so, tho – that kinda paranoia is amusing to watch as it “unhinges”!
(Yeah, I’m so cruel sometimes.)
I think he does. I’ve asked him repeatedly to inform us of what they do say, but he never does.
Photoshopped, Freedomamerie? I dunno, it looks like Wonkette agrees with Michelle… they even have a uniform model.
I predict your response: “Wonkette is a tool of the right-wing media.”
Go on, say it. I know you’re thinking it.

I’ve seen the clip before – it shows pro-illegal slave labor attys telling businesses how to basically break the law via “plausible deniability” so the businesses can hire illegals.
Tou can try emailing your YouTube link to Michelle. Here’s a very good Lou Dobb’s CNN clip (also at YouTube) on this very problem, by way of more backgrand info -
Lou Dobbs — Cohen & Grigsby seminar
Even more interesting is looking at the list of issues on her web site. Granted they are in alphabetical order but there is only two items which are not lumped into bigger topics. Iraq and Katrina. Now why doesn’t it say National Security and Disaster Prepardness?
Of course over on the current legislation section she has the Uganda Conflict. Huh?
Regarding my #181
Nevermind I found out why Uganda is on her list. There is a terrorist group called the Lord’s Resistance Army, who believe in establishing a society based on the 10 Commandments, that are fighting the Muslims coming over from the Sudan. So they could be called a Christian terrorist group. Too bad she can’t say the same thing about Islamic terrorists.
And for her Hispanic fans this:
How this for an idea; why not have the Canadian military enforce America’s borders? I mean, what with the Democrats support for the military of our good friends to the north, it’s something even the liberals could get behind!
(As an added benefit, their troops wouldn’t have to go very far to enforce our northern border).
As long as someone supports them.
