One of the punks responsible for a fatal bombing on the University of Wisconsin campus has checked out. Good riddance! Like so many of his contemporaries (including the President's buddy, Bill Ayers) Dwight Armstrong never apologized for killing Robert Fassnacht. It was his "duty" to touch off more than half a ton of amonium nitrate in a classroom building.

As it happens, the explosion took place on my birthday--at the time I was serving in the AF. I cannot adequately express the contempt I still feel for domestic terrorists who robbed banks, murdered police officers, tossed bombs at the capitol and bombed and torched buildings on college campuses.

Dwight Armstrong (and his accomplices), Jane Fonda, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorhn, and Betina Aptheker--these are just a few of the "stars" of a self indulgent movement that sought to use violence, intimidation and the underminding of our society to advance their anti-American agenda. Opposition to the Vietnam war was the excuse for the violence, millions of Americans came to oppose the war, only a tiny handful resorted to violence.

Check out any archival footage of anti-war demonstrations you can find, and in almost every case the demonstrators were carrying Viet Cong and North Vietnamese flags--which is beneath contempt. Of course Ms. Fonda upped the ante by swooning over that NVA anti-aircraft gun in Hanoi with an expression of post coital bliss on her face and fellating every commie officer in a two province area. American POWs in the "Hanoi Hilton" were tortured by their captors for refusing to go along with Fonda's dog and pony media show. And she has never apologized, for any of it.

This was not a glorious chapter in the history of our country. It was, IMO, a generational rejection of America (they spelled it "Amerika," remember?) and our traditions of law and order and peaceful expressions of dissent. These members of my generation were so suffused with their own moral superiority they believed the rules of civilized debate didn't apply to them. Well, when that happens, people (like Robert Fassnacht) get dead.

I wish speedy deaths for all the remaining Madison bombers.

As you said O.P.-good riddance!

Agreed. And I just as ****ed at their spawn after they trashed my hometown yesterday -- all in the name of rights for the people.

Yeah right! :mad: :mad: :mad:

It was one of those days that I wished I was still on the job, so I would have had the chance to crack some skulls.
 
Re: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD (Part Whatever)

There were a lot of legitimate, effective ways to protest a war. Domestic violence is not among them. Whether it's anti-war or anti-abortion lunacy, it all amounts to lunacy, so yeah, no loss to the millions who respected our traditions but also made the opposing view heard.

The best thing is we are one person closer to leaving the whole godawful mess in the rear view mirror. Of course we're going to have to wait another 80+ years to leave the current godawful mess in the rear view mirror, and by then... rinse and repeat.

I agree. When a group resorts to violence to make their point it undermines their position with the opposition and the general. This then hurts those who may hold the same position but have stuck to non-violent methods to get their point across.

Probably the worst pork-barreler in U.S. history. Of course he'll be lauded far and wide, but his most lasting legacy will come from being one of the prime longtime architects of the fiscal mess this country is in. Puzzling, given that he grew up during the Depression.

It is impressive how long he served though.

They can appropriate $400million to build him a monument beside a 6 lane highway leading to an international airport that gets used only by crop dusters.

As long as we're piling on the dead, he did get his start in the Klan.
 
Re: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD (Part Whatever)

Or pathetic how many times he was reelected.....

If he's funneling a **** load of money into WV, why not?
The fact that the other 49 states would resent that is almost irrelevant. Sigh.

And agreeing to vote to put ****loads of money into somebody else's state in return...how much of the debt could be traced back to this guy?

Uh, because we as a nation don't have the money? It's like sharing a credit card with a bunch of folks, and being upset when someone else puts a bunch of charges on it that we all have to pay for (at least eventually).

Or because he was a nutjob who specialized in self righteous, rambling, incoherent speeches with no purpose other than stroking his own ego?
