		<description>And the story gets weirder. The Las Cruces Sun-News reported Saturday that Ken Triplett, the man flying the flags in protest of ‘communism,’ has no records of being in the Army special forces as he claimed when initially asked by media about the controversial flag.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So the Sun-News obtained a subpoena and a search warrant to determine if Mr. Triplett has any military records to support his claim of service? Or is their claim of what Mr. Triplett might or might not possess based on statements by the Army PIO? If it&#039;s based on the PIO statements, has the reporter ever previously identified any active duty or former military person by calling an Army PIO? Does the reporter know if the Army is routinely in the business of handing over identities of commandos to whomever is on the other end of a phone call? Did the reporter submit a formal inquiry requesting military records using the process all other reporters use to find out who served in what unit at what time?</description>

		<description>Were the nationalist socialist&#039;s only crimes genocide? You suggest that their effort to champion state-run solutions for social problems was not part of what spawned the genocide. Your inability to thoughtfully help yourself see this matter in any other light, as you stated the reason you reached the conclusions you recorded here, implies that it&#039;s okay for a government to change laws that once allowed free access to government records, to replace the judiciary, to spy on citizens, to keep lists of political suspects and to demand complete loyalty, as long as they don&#039;t kill Jews, homosexuals, disabled people or protestants? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Perhaps you&#039;ve failed to study the years leading up to Germany&#039;s genocide, and don&#039;t appreciate the legal structure that was put in place and which eventually facilitated genocide. Perhaps you believe that all of Bush&#039;s intrustions into our civil rights magically disappeared when Wall Streets next candidate saved their agenda by appealing to this nation&#039;s long overdue need to have minority representation. Well, too bad the U.S. can&#039;t elect someone without European bloodlines to be president - they still haven&#039;t. And too bad we can&#039;t elect an African American whose experience includes first hand knowledge of what it is like to be the descendants of slaves. Such a black heir of slaves, if ever elected, might be a bit more sensitive to the legal underpinnings of slavery before he advocates laws that facilitate the return of slavery, as has done Pres. George Walker Obama.</description>

		<description>As a Jew, I can&#039;t help but identify this as a racist statement. Doesn&#039;t the Nazi symbol refer to an ideology of genocide for Jews, homosexuals, blacks, disabled and protestants? How does that apply to ANY PART of our political situation?</description>
