Another great idea. Get the money from the federal employees back taxes and start with Al Sharpton as well! Would make a nice "talking point." Why should our soldiers die so Sharpton can wear a silk tie? Time to get down and dirty! Fight fire with fire I always say.

There is no requirement under the FEC for any political organization to turn over membership or donor lists. NOTE...read that carefully.
Further, are you able to clearly explain why and how the IRS did not perform the same due diligence on Democratic organizations seeking tax exempt status.
For all of your vaunted, supposed, knowledge, you frequently miss the legal portions of issues. Perhaps it is because MSNBC, CNN and CNBC a do not know them either. It takes some true work effort to slog through pages of legalize. One would not wish to stress you unduly.

If my memory serves me right, It was the democrats that screamed like raped apes, when Nixon "only" asked about IRS improprieties. Now they consider, actual laws broken, by the IRS, as a political witch-hunt. It would be and is deplorable, that laws are not enforced equally.

I totally agree, and though I am not well versed in much regarding aviation, I do have my favorites and the A 10 is among them. I also, like you, cannot understand why such an outstanding performer would be on the chopping block. I don't think age has anything to do with it. Please let me know any further thoughts you might have on the subject.
It's not their own ass in the foxhole or behind a rock. Other than possibly the Apache, there is nothing better at close air support.
Our ground troops or any allies with us, deserve nothing less than the absolute best. There are so many completely worthless ideas that money is wasted on, by D.C. Or how about, getting 3.4 billion in taxes owed by the government employees, that we, the taxpayers, pay.

Last minute spending is so they can spend billions rather than millions with a little thought. I remember this well from military days, spend it or you lose next years allotment. Was Navy but worked for the Air Force and every July we'd get a notice too spend our allotment or it might be cut to what we did spend. Well my first year there we didn't spend what was left so we were cut, from then on we wasted just to meet budget.
Old habits die hard and it's still the same today.
Why is it everyone seems to know what the causes of the problems in Washington are, yet improvements or corrections, never take place?

Actually, I'm thinking about writing a letter to the editor or a guest editorial for the paper about the A 10. Your phrase "the angel flying protection over them" struck a chord with me and I'd like to use it. I can't think of a better description of its mission. Okay?
I've watched a few shows on tv, about the A-10. A common theme is how the jet fighter pilots tease about how ugly the Warthog is. While the ground troops love the sight and sound of that 30mm pea shooter.
If it helps in anyway go for it.

Why won't Citizens United disclose its donor list? Why do conservative groups refuse to pay taxes? Why do they cry about being targeted when they demand tax esempt status and won't turn over membership lists?
No left-wing tax exempt group was expected, or asked to. Nor should they have been, since the information may be used against, their donors illegally, as Lerner did.
Those on the left continually demand t***sparency, from the right, while stonewalling info of them. It truly speaks volumes, that liberals want justice, to be biased, rather than equal.

That's why I propose the tee shirts and bumper stickers. Once the government gets the idea the people won't tolerate a stupid retirement for the A 10, those politicians who support the A 10 will have the backing they need. Everything is politics, but also remember the A 10 is cheap to service and maintain and we can turn the argument about "being short of funds" against the Air Force on the basis that the A 10 SAVES money.
Anyway, I think the A 10 should be under the control of the Marines.....the Navy if you will.

How about take the money the government may not spend on recruiting 5-11 million illegal democrats, to continue funding the A-10.
The Warthog is what happens when a job specific requirement design exceeds those requirements. It was designed to survive against the Soviet possible battlefield. Most if any upgrades to the plane have been replacing analog controls with digital.
For our combat troops benefit, find the funds to keep the Warthog, the angel flying protection over them.

Just consider that if the media reported un-biasedly about the right and left, people wouldn't just reject news by who reports it.
Consider how the MSM reacted to Christie's "bridgegate", due to implied political blowback. Then their coverage, over the IRS, with verifiable evidence of criminal wrong doings.
The MSM needs to be the watchdogs, the constitutional writers, intended them and provided them to be. Not be lapdogs as they are now.

Why doesn't the "media" probe the Clinton's foundation foreign donor list? The left's "war on women", "republican's are r****ts" arguments along with being "h********c and/or islamaphobic" are worn out.
How about you focus on the federal debt, which Obama claimed was un-American, as a senator running for president. Or fixing the i*****l i*********n problem instead of trying to add 11 million democrats, by fiat?

While I agree with all your post, there is one slight part I don't. It isn't a violation of the constitution, it is a federal felony. That is without the illegal scrutiny.At the very least, twice released individual taxpayer information. That's 2 felony counts out of the gate. Judicial Watch has emails that irrefutably proves that. Lerner had and used her contacts at the FEC and DOJ, so at least 2 more lawbreakers, should be charged with felonies.

Truly amazing how what was spoken 70 years ago, can be just as relevant today. Anyone who has studied the battle for Iwo Jima and not shed a tear or more for the sacrifice some Marines paid. Has a lack of a heart beat inside of them. Some of us are truly not worthy.

You talk about my inconsistency, you're implying LBJ was only working with what JFK left him. He used to brag that an outhouse in No. Viet Nam couldn't be bombed without his personal approval. By your standards of torture, the CIA wouldn't have been able to field a baseball team. That being said, in comparison to what was done to our POW's, made the CIA, look like boy scouts. My point is hindsight is 20/20, in the same position you or I, may have reacted and done worse.
You seem to believe Obama is the standard bearer the world should look up to. Ignoring the fact droning a U.S. citizen was perfectly legal, without a trial, according to his DOJ. Don't forget how Sen. Obama, was adamant, that personal privacy could never be put before state security. He sure backed that up when he reined in the NSA secret project. Will the Kool-Aid prevent you from saying these were wrong? We already know your answer. Bush did worse.

Oh please, you all never mention Bill Clinton? A decade and half later and you still bring him up for contrast, President George W. Bush was the last president.
President George W. Bush not only bankrupted this nation, he caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.
If you want to live in the past, What about LBJ? Maybe you've heard of the "Gulf of Tonkin"? Knowing the past is one thing, you need to learn when Obama screws up, it's not okay because Bush did something else. Try starting January 2009, examine what Obama's done. Only don't think about what happened before Jan. '09. Then say what Obama's done was alright.

Both were not against the Geneva Convention?
Both Allied and Axis bombed civilians when attempting strategic targets?
Germany didn't attack Poland and subjugate the population?
Albert Spear didn't serve 20 years for using s***e labor (Jews), for industrial production?
