May these people fry in hell. (This a portion of a much larger, second part
of the expose in the Washington Post on Monday.)
Perks and stardom do not come to every amputee. Sgt. David Thomas, a gunner
with the Tennessee National Guard, spent his first three months at Walter
Reed with no decent clothes; medics in Samarra had cut off his uniform.
Heavily drugged, missing one leg and suffering from traumatic brain injury,
David, 42, was finally told by a physical therapist to go to the Red Cross
office, where he was given a T-shirt and sweat pants. He was awarded a
Purple Heart but had no underwear.
David tangled with Walter Reed's image machine when he wanted to attend a
ceremony for a fellow amputee, a Mexican national who was being granted
U.S. citizenship by President Bush. A case worker quizzed him about what he
would wear. It was summer, so David said shorts. The case manager said the
media would be there and shorts were not advisable because the amputees
would be seated in the front row.
" 'Are you telling me that I can't go to the ceremony 'cause I'm an
amputee?' " David recalled asking. "She said, 'No, I'm saying you need to
wear pants.' "
David told the case worker, "I'm not ashamed of what I did, and y'all
shouldn't be neither." When the guest list came out for the ceremony, his
name was not on it.

"The federal issue of border security quickly becomes
a local one when feds refuse to enforce the law. Local
law enforcement agencies in Everytown, USA are
forced to respond."
-- Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch www.JudicialWatch.org
"Unfortunately, the majority of illegal aliens who are here are engaged
in criminal activity. Identity theft, use of fraudulent Social Security
numbers and green cards, tax evasion, driving without licenses represent
some of the crimes that are engaged in by the majority of illegal aliens on
a daily basis merely to maintain and hide their illegal status. In
addition, violent crime and drug distribution and possession is also
prevalent among illegal aliens. Over 25% of today's federal prison
population are illegal aliens. In some areas of the country, 12% of
felonies, 25% of burglaries and 34% of thefts are committed by illegal
aliens."
-- Testimony of District Attorney John M. Morganelli before the House
Subcommittee on Immigration, Border, Security and Claims [Note: 99% of
warrants for murder in Los Angeles, California -- the USA's 2nd
most-populous city -- are for illegal aliens]
"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate,
tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in
the minds of men."
- Samuel Adams
