And Democrats.  You forgot to mention Democrats in your ignorance.  Let's see...2013...hmmm...who was President again?  I guess Mr Obama's priorities were not w/ the Pacific theater let alone Pearl.  But whatever.  Eyes to see and ears to hear know what the dealio is.  They don't need either you or I to tell them that.  Many of my friends and colleagues are affected by the sequestration as well as my business.  Do you know how our august delegates voted on this issue?  I bet you do.  However, there was no mention of this in the article.  I am so glad that you have the knowledge base to at least have some facts in your comments and not just the usual generalities.  Btw...so you support white supremacists?  I don't understand.  You support Communists and fascists?  I don't understand that either.  But it's cool.  It's just comments....right?  Meanwhile, 700 dead & 24mil affected by the monsoons.  You should drop by and help.  Hope to be back by Sat.
