| A Citizen Speaks Their Mind.... |

| ...This wingnut is writing in the Casper, WY Star Tribune. One of the locals gave a reply that is far better than anything I could ever come up with, and I'll post it at the end... Jingoism rots nation from within Monday, February 05, 2007 Editor: Hearing those sappy panegyrics about "our men and women in uniform" every 10 minutes always reminds me of Ludmilla Boriskova, heroine of the Soviet union, wrestling with fighter bomber propellers in a titanic struggle for the Motherland. Where are you now, O babushka? I lived among Marines for nearly a quarter century in the botched coat-hanger abortion of a military town called Oceanside, home to the World War II white elephant Camp Pendleton, where the disgraced killer stooges of innocent Iraqi civilians now stand trial. Every other car in Oceanslime boasts a Department of Offense sticker, and these no-larger-than-life military families sup greedily at the tacky base's federal hog trough without producing a thing of value. There's a bootlicking miasma of death cultism about this blighted community, with macho Jarboy McFitzroy wife-beaters and drunken military jerks mowing someone down on the way home from a bacchanalian spree in Tijuana or Sandy Eggo. I've encountered countless mediocre opportunists, groupers and communards among these militarists, and they don't wage war in my name, and they don't impress me. They serve the almighty Amurrican king Tex Shrub in a fascistic empire that knows next to nothing about rational restraint, checks and balances, or the consent of the governed. The more U.S. soldiers get killed, the more it hopefully hastens the humiliating defeat and inevitable breakup of this fraudulent, hypocritical and rotten-to-the-core nation-state, following the moribund trajectory of the Spanish, Dutch and British empires of yesteryear. Many of these uniformitarian clowns in the service think I and others owe them for ever-dwindling freedom or daily abridged rights. The military's a woolly infantile cocoon for authoritarian punks and bimbos, from the doublespeak sociopath generals on down the barnyard pecking order and brain-dead chain of command, blaming politicians as usual for their failures and shortcomings. Why don't y'all kneel down with the Christian fascist chaplain and pray for a swift kick in the butt to hell and gone, soldier boys and girls? Down with the United States and its vaunted holy of holies armed services, and may the ever-growing list of global enemies eventually combine forces to kick its back teeth to Timbuktu. KELLY HENNESSY, Cody The best response: "Funny, in the old west where nearly all had an 1873 colt or a No. 3 Schoelfield on their belt, people monitored what spew from their mouths as they knew that it was likely that they would be held accountable for their remarks. |

| #10 The more U.S. soldiers get killed, the more it hopefully hastens the humiliating defeat and inevitable breakup of this fraudulent, hypocritical and rotten-to-the-core nation-state, following the moribund trajectory of the Spanish, Dutch and British empires of yesteryear. This is clear sedition and treason - and in print! Why isn't this f%$ktard in jail already? |

| #9 Oh, this stinking pustelescent piece of shit deserves to have its ass kicked straight to North Korea for spewing this kind of drivel. Where does this shit think it gets the privilege to spew this vile diatribe from? Just cause it grew up here? Deport this piece of human scum or at least arrest it for the treasonous America-hating puddle of vomit it is. Hey, Kelly, having a job as a journalist brings with it certain obligations to the truth and freedom. Who do you think earned that right for you, you lower than slime-mold piece of offal? You do not deserve your job nor do you deserve to live in this country (or for that matter on this planet with other rational human beings). I'd say "Blow me", but I'd sooner have OBL's lips on my privates than yours no matter the gender. |

| #8 Good find, Frank. The writing is just clever enough that Kelly etc will be a starving wannabe writer all its life. I notice Kelly doesn't like the old lions of the left anymore than the mass of the right. Definitely no friends. |

| #7 ExJAG that's the most romantic story I ever heard. |

| #6 Kelly Patrick Hennessy, formerly of Oceanside, was a moonbat there as well, it seems; NCTimes 10/19/03 letters: Govinator using old Soviet playbook "Mommy, why do they call Axel Krauthammer the vermin hater?" asked Little Miss Quickstudy. "And why does he shoot up a police station in one of his trashy movies, all of which lack redeeming social value, when his party brown-noses law enforcement ad nauseam?" "Krauthammer could've used his muscles for 20 or 30 productive years of Austrian farm labor, instead he prostituted them to America's fetish for violence, putting that stale Yankee Doodle feather in his cap and calling it macro-baloney," Miss Q's mommy mused. "As for Axel's vermin-hater box office sobriquet, it makes no sense 'cause he married into the cheesiest ratpack on the left, the ersatz Camelot Kennedy clan," she continued. "Mommy, even a California public school kid can see through this vermin hater's bromide about putting children first," Miss Q reflected. "It's straight out of the old Soviet playbook, right along with departments of homeland security. What about seniors, garlic-smelling lumpenproles, and counterculture bohemians like that nice Mr. Henderson of Oceanspray?" "They're just the gutter balls in Krauthammer's tinhorn GOP bowling alley, honey," her mom concluded, "but they'll be back after this pyrite state gets assayed." KELLY PATRICK HENNESSY Oceanside heh heh - I love search engines |

| #5 Oceanslime? My first experience with anyone in uniform took place during a "bacchanalian spree in Tijuana," as a reckless, naive 17-year-old USC student. My "friends" stranded me there at 4 AM, with only a black velvet dress, spike-heeled boots, five bucks, and a fake ID. I wound up spending the night in a cockroach-infested Tijuana hotel room with two "macho jarboys," who were not only perfect gentlemen, but also went to great lengths to deliver me back to LA the next day. Lesson learned: dump my fair-weather friends, and stick with the Marines. |

| #4 Proves my theory that anyone who refers to themself in the third person is a pr!ck. |

| #3 I have the impression that KELLY HENNESSY didn't have many friends when young. One wonders if Kelly has many friends even now, in the wilds of Cody, Wyoming. |

| #2 Kelly isn't fit to wipe a Marine's ass. I hope the good citizens of Cody find an appropriate response to this infection amongst them |

| #1 What's funny is that my ancient brain hiccupped and let me think that this letter was funny in an ironic sort of way. Who could have known that there are people out there with the ability to speak the "angry truth" to the rest of us pea-brains that thought we were serving our country? |
