To Mock a Killing Bird
Killing us softly with his love
Killing us softly with change
Freedom is just another word
Something he’ll soon re-arrange
No one to stop his agenda
A free ride for his every whim
No one to stop his onslaught
Your life now depends on him
A swaggering approach to his podium
A sneer as his ego expands
The media is so much adoring
Their putty in both of his hands
(Isn’t he the coolest thing?)
They know their job is to polish
Every thing Mr. O has to say
Or they’ll pound pavement tomorrow
With a pink slip and severance pay
Oh bring me the champions creed
Still-standing in honorable grief
Lets demand a new pair of pliers
So we can pull out the governments teeth
Homeland Security’s newly defined terrorist:
All former servicemen that served this nation
Thank you so little Janet Napolatino
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Homeland Security Secretary
Janet Napolitano apologized Thursday after some veterans
groups were offended by a department report about right-wing extremism.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano apologized to offended veterans Thursday morning.
The report said extremist groups may try to attract veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It also said extremists also may use the recession and the election of the nation's first African-American president to recruit members.
The American Legion was among those who objected to the report's mention of veterans.
'I think it is important for all of us to remember that Americans are not the enemy. The terrorists are,' the American Legion's national commander, David K. Rehbein, said in a letter to Napolitano.
Napolitano apologized on CNN on Thursday morning.
'I know that some veterans groups were offended by the fact that veterans were mentioned in this assessment, so I apologize for that offense.
