BREAKING: Marine Corps kicking sergeant out for criticizing Obama… Developing…
Can we deal with four more years of solutions like these from the left?? algea, spinich, US postal wind farms……………..
Senate Dem: Save the US Postal Service with Wind Farms
As the potential collapse of the United States Postal Service looms on the horizon, one Senate Democrat has proposed an unusual plan to solve the crisis.
Senator Tom Carper (D-DE) looks to harvest the electricity that windmill farms produce in order to power a new fleet of battery-operated postal delivery vehicles, replacing the previous ’25 to 30 years old’ ‘dilapidated’ vehicles.
The Senator admits the idea is “out there” but concludes that “we need to be thinking boldly, and the postal service needs to do that”

Marines discharge sergeant for Facebook posts
SAN DIEGO – The Marine Corps said Wednesday it has decided to discharge a sergeant for criticizing President Barack Obama on Facebook.
The Corps said Sgt. Gary Stein will be given an other-than-honorable discharge for violating Pentagon policy limiting speech of service members.
The San Diego-area Marine has served nearly 10 years in the Marine Corps. He has said he was exercising his free-speech rights.
The discharge will mean he loses all benefits.
@Ratboy
It’s like a kid in front of teachers and the kid has no clue what to say or no way to defend it, it really is getting embarrassing. And even the liberal judges were laughing at him
Just another way to waste our money
@Ratboy
The only rights you have in the service are those that the Commanding officer allows you to have TRUST ME!!!!!!
But to be honest, they should have just slapped his hands and told him to Shut up.

Obama Oozes ‘Jon Stewart’s Brilliant’ and ‘Amazing,’ More Credible Than ‘Conventional’ News
Barack Obama’s new interview with mouth-breathing fan Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner is most notable for his gooey praise of the “brilliance” of Daily Show host Jon Stewart.
“I don’t watch a lot of TV news. I don’t watch cable at all,” he said, very unconvincingly. “I like The Daily Show, so sometimes if I’m home late at night, I’ll catch snippets of that. I think Jon Stewart’s brilliant. It’s amazing to me the degree to which he’s able to cut through a bunch of the nonsense – for young people in particular, where I think he ends up having more credibility than a lot of more conventional news programs do.” He also name-checked a blogger:
There are a handful of blogs, Andrew Sullivan’s on the Daily Beast being an example, that combine thoughtful analysis with a sampling of lots of essays that are out there.
Not only was Sullivan a promoter of bizarre conspiracy birther theories about Sarah Palin’s son Trig, Sullivan’s latest Newsweek cover story offered the Easter message “Forget the Church, Follow Jesus.” Don’t look now, but Obama’s golfing-on-Sundays secularism is showing again. But perhaps Obama is still basking in the glow of Sullivan’s absurd Newsweek cover story on Why Are Obama’s Critics So Dumb?
@eggmanbill: >>> Come on Fox how about some coverage of The Murdoch Mafia exposed in the UK, stop the spin! <<<
Who's spinning what? I watched Fox News carry some of the British court proceedings LIVE yesterday afternoon.
If it was NBC, they would have tape-delayed it and would bring back that associate producer to selectively edit the piece.
Before you make such a statement such as Fox not covering the UK hearings, better check your facts next time.
