| If only American soldiers in Afghanistan were unemployed Democratic voters in Chicago, then they might be getting three square meals a day from the government. But the military is the one place that Obama feels comfortable slashing expenses. While spending at an uncontrollable rate unseen since the last days of the Roman Empire in every other area, Obama has been cutting “waste” in the military like 20,000 Marines, Tricare healthcare for veterans and breakfast for soldiers serving in areas where he would only venture accompanied by heavy firepower.

Do our brave men and women know all this? If you know someone in the military send a copy of this article and let them know in just what low esteem they are held by their commander in chief. Hopefully the word would get around, since they will never see or hear about it in the media. We the People stand with our troops, and we need to make sure when the time comes that they stand with us.

I know people who regularly live on less than $20,000 a year and it is going to cost that per family for Obama care in 2016. And the IRS is going to collect it. Yet unemployment is 7.9% and 1 million quit trying in Oblama´s first term? Something has to give. I feel a revolution coming on.

Top of the list is the foul culture of dependency that prompts fellow citizens to sell their vote and the country for two pieces of silver.

And we wonder why the Liberals are winning and the country is going down the toilet. Maybe conservatives should look in the mirror and ask...who the hell is that?

I loathe Obama more than anyone here, but he had nothing to do with this decision. This was made much lower in the chain of command. These are remote units. Hopefully log/ops will begin supplying them with cereal, granola bars etc. They´re in a war zone. If your rear echelon support is changing that´s going to affect you. I went 6 weeks on MRE´s a couple of times, you survive. It messes up your colon a bit but that´s why you have an entrenching tool.

First, let me say I am a libertarian, which to me is somewhat to the right of you "conservatives".
Second, let me recommend that we read a little more carefully and critically.
The headline says that it is "breakfast" that is being eliminated, but the article reveals that it is "COOKED breakfast" that is being eliminated.
Worry not, the troops are in fact being fed, it is just that COOKED breakfast has to be perpared in a central locatio,placed in Mermite cans and schlepped out to forward bases, which requires mess personnel (more non-combat troops), under armed guard (more combat troops taken away from combat duties), all of which exposes troops to needless danger and is not an intelligent use of troops and resources.
But, hey, don´t let a little objectivity and fairness interrupt your anti-Obama feeding frenzy.
Come on, folks, they do enough that is really evil, let´s not make ourselves look foolish with stuff like this one.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A Texas mother claims a quiz her son took blamed the United States for the September 11, 2001 attacks. Kara Sands posted on her Facebook page earlier this month a quiz her fifth-grade son at Flour Bluff Intermediate School took after watching a video entitled “Remembering September 11th.” One of the questions on the quiz asked “Why might the United States be a target for terrorism?” with the correct answer being “Decisions we made in the United States have had negative effects on people elsewhere.”

Seven U.S. Marines were killed and at least seven wounded when a mortar exploded during a live-fire training exercise overnight at an Army munitions depot in the Nevada desert, military officials told NBC News. There were conflicting reports about what happened. According to one account, a 60-millimeter mortar shell exploded in a tube as Marines were preparing to fire it. Another account said that the shell exploded as Marines were picking it up to load it. The accident happened at Hawthorne Army Depot, a 147,000-acre ammunition storage and training facility just east of the California line.

GLSEN had informed the councilman that their request to participate in the parade was declined by one of the parade´s organizers, Chris Schulte, specifically because "it´s their parade, it´s an Irish Catholic parade and we don´t want any members of the gay and lesbian community to be affiliated."

The draft application for health insurance under Obamacare is out, and it´s long — 21 pages, to be exact. That´s close to ten times longer than an individual tax return, and significantly longer than an application for citizenship or a federal housing loan. It´s even longer than an application to establish a bank. The sheer complexity of the application is likely to spawn a cottage industry of Obamacare preparers, the Washington Post speculates. Which means a potential new addition to healthcare expenses: the cost of paying someone to help you apply.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”
