    None of us were disarmed when Bush and then Cheney came to New Orleans after Katrina.

    I was 7 feet away from Cheney with an AK 47 and nobody gave a ****.

    I thought parade weapons were ceremonial rifles, like realistic-looking color guard .

    The M1's are fully functional. The decision is most likely from the secret service. When Cheney came to Iraq, they would not allow any loaded weapons near him(other than theirs' of course). It is most likely SOP. People are fishing for conspiracies.

    Eh. Got any cost comparisons w/ inflation? Contrast those with our current economic situation.

    Why would I need any? The cost is irrelevant to the fact that it is an American tradition, has been an American tradition, and asking the media to finance our traditions makes about as much sense as asking the film industry to pay for maintenance on our national monuments because they get some use out of filming things the government was doing anyways.

    I know the media is an easy target here, as it should be, but this one is just nonsense.

    Ok ok. Getting the media to pay for an event is out there. But really. Why cant there be a cap to the expenses. I'm more pissed that we havent had a balanced budget in 5 years.

    Because if you're talking about /trillion/ dollar deficit, it's even dumber to worry about the fraction of a drop of water in the bucket that is this ceremony than it is to worry about NASA's budget, compared to the /actual/ deficit problems.

    My experience of the Secret Service is they view everyone and everything as a threat to the president. Period. With such a divided country these days, I bet they work extra hard.

    It's still disrespectful in my opinion.

    I hold a lot of respect for those guys. Regardless of how they feel about the president and what he does to their country they remain stern to strict orders.

    The only bad thing about Alex Jones is that he can find a conspiracy in ANYTHING. Mention that Taco Bell made you run to the toilet and I am sure he will come up with some sort of government conspiracy as to why Taco Bell made you run to the toilet!
