Yes, I missed this. I was out of the country a great deal from
April through June. I did some research this morning and I see how
poorly the corporate right wing media covered the protests and real
issues. (I read Christine Flowers rant in the Daily News.) I
certainly was out of touch, and I don't pay attention to right wing
mean-spirited propaganda unless Jon Stewart and Colbert report it.
Thanks for your attention to this matter. I just wrote a poem you
will enjoy!
Glenn, the leftist wanker

Glenn, if you weren't so busy protesting at Rittenhouse Square,
writing poetry and lyrics, you could make time to read more of the
left leaning Social Democrats' press that has widely reported this
allegedly despicable tool for recruiting our next generation of
American Patriot Warriors; excuse me, my appetite for a free press
just slipped through. The current appropriate nomenclature for non-
American hostile combatants is TANGOS. Ragheads is so old-head
Benseraglio2.
Since we've already established you are news-deprived, except for
some occasional outrageous Inky articles, I wanted to share with you
how the Jihadi's are unlawfully lashing out at the Fruit of King
Richard the Lion Heart <http://sheikyermami.com/2009/08/23/bradford-we-dont-want-whites-we-rule-bradford-we-are-going-to-get-you-out/

Apparently, you are not cultivating any Trees-of-Liberty in UC.
Cut'em all down and used'em for outhouses?
Ciao,

Dear neighbors concerned about the never ending wars,
When I received an e-mail about this army experience center, I
checked to see if
it was real because it seemed so far out. Here is the official web
site. I
found that it was covered/advertised on CNN. Has anyone actually
seen it at
Franklin Mills?
http://www.thearmyexperience.com/about-army/educat
ion-and-benefits
Notice how they show smiling kids with the dollar amounts of
potential benefit
totals. These post Vietnam, war recruitment centers, have always
hyped college
benefits to vulnerable kids, whom often can't read. And they hype a
lifetime of
VA health care and future golden opportunities without mentioning
agent orange,
PTSD, or extra radiation doses from Penn doctors.
It seems that the power of free violent video games was at the heart
of this
Philadelphia pilot study and this new model for national war
recruitment of
vulnerable youth. I also think this is one of the potential new
uses for the
recreation centers and libraries being closed across the country.
Remember, how
perplexing it was, when Nutter announced that alternative
partnerships were
being pursued for our public assets conveniently located in poor
neighborhoods?
This was forwarded to me but I don't know the original source:
"Gun-toting youth as young as 13 have been heard congratulating each
other for
"killing ragheads" and "wiping out hajis," but the Army doesn't see
it that way.
“We want to give people the opportunity to experience the Army for
themselves,
so they have an understanding of what soldiers do, and they can be
proud of
their service,” explains Army Major Larry Dillard, Army Experience
Center
Program Manager.
The Army=2
0has recently announced that the Philadelphia Pilot program has
resulted
in a decision to launch Experience Centers across the country. 140
new recruits
have signed up through the $12 Million center since it opened last
August."
