Here, time to channel some more Mg:

THEY ARE INFRINGING ON THE MARINES FREE SPECH! HOW DARE THEY VIOLATE THE FIRST AMENDMENT!

(No longer channeling Mg) Seriously, Obama's a christian, was raised a christian, and even went to a private christian school as a kid - are christians the religious enemy now? 'Cause I can believe that at this point.

What's funny is that I can't tell the difference from your usual posts.

apparently the video has been editted to mute out this:

"We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops...They ought to go. I’m going to say that right now. But we need African-American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too.”

suicide bomber took out 3 of my Soldiers yesterday and wounded 5 more. It's pretty much time to tell afghanistan "**** you, you all don't give a **** if your country goes to hell, we're taking our dollars and going home"

It's been a rough couple of days at the office - thankful I didn't know any of them, but I've got a pretty big handful of friends/coworkers that did.

for those that dont get the reference:

A GSA inspector general report found “excessive and wasteful” spending occurred by GSA employees planning a 2010 conference in Las Vegas, Nev. The expenses included a “dry run” of the event by 31 GSA employees, and six trips to Las Vegas by as many as 21 GSA employees simultaneously. The report, obtained by POLITICO, also reveals that government employees colluded with conference vendors to hide some of the costs and conform with government contract rules.

According to an administration source, other expenses billed to taxpayers included a clown, a mindreader, commemorative coins, and $75,000 dollars on “a training exercise to build a bicycle.” The total cost of the event to taxpayers was $835,000 – in the midst of a federal government effort to reduce expenditures and eliminate unnecessary travel and conferences.
