This place gives me the creeps

The Capitol

By Neal Boortz

What place is that? Washington DC. I arrived here yesterday afternoon. I’ll be doing the show from The Heritage Foundation tomorrow, then over to Capital Hill to be one of the speakers at Herman Cain’s Revolution on the Hill tax reform rally. There’s so much to say in such a speech ... and I don’t know what is going to come out of my mouth when I step up tomorrow ... .so I’ll fill you in tomorrow.

In the meantime ......

As soon as I’m off the plane and on the way to my downtown hotel I started seeing the symbols of America: The Washington Monument, The Lincoln Memorial, and he Capitol Dome off in the distance. I’ve been coming to Washington DC since I was about six years old. I used to hang out with my Aunt, a USO volunteer at Union Station. I can still remember her place at the Ontario Apartments over by the National Zoo.

As I saw these old landmarks pass by I thought about how Washington DC used to be a symbol of liberty -- of freedom -- the capital of the world’s greatest country. Now --- and I really don’t like saying this at all -- I see it as the focus -- the command center of people who are working daily to destroy freedom, to destroy economic liberty and to create a nation of fully-dependent parasitic government subjects who’s main concerns are the avoidance of personal responsibility and protecting the people in power who make it possible for them to live their lives with as little personal responsibility and effort as possible. These people are Obama voters, and this city is the focal point of Obama’s grand plan to create a fully government-dependent society. Obama thinks that America’s greatness emanates from this city. A few weeks ago he actually said that what made America great was government spending ... not freedom, and not the sacrifices of millions of men and women throughout our history.

This, unfortunately, is Obama’s city right now. I’ll speak out against the soft tyranny of Barack Obama tomorrow ... then leave.

2012-0229 Ohio Teen Arrested After Posing With Gun, Posting Threats On Facebook Following School Shooting

MANTUA, Ohio (CBS Cleveland) – Just one day after a school shooting devastated Chardon High School in Ohio, a local teen was arrested after posting a new Facebook profile picture that showed him posing with an assault rifle.

The Portage County Sheriff’s Office apprehended the 17-year-old Crestwood High School student on Tuesday morning, after several concerned citizens called in about the image.

Some of his posts also reportedly raised concerns.

Lt. Gregory A. Johnson of the Portage County Sheriff’s Office told CBS Cleveland that the student had, on multiple occasions, posted status updates that celebrated school violence.

“I’m close to going on a stabbing spree,” one post, written on Feb. 22, said. “I can’t take some of these people anymore.”

“Who agrees with their friend that it’s a good idea to shoot up a school?” the teen wrote just hours after the school shooting that has claimed three lives so far.

Students reportedly expressed concern to school officials, who alerted the local authorities. He was arrested as soon as he arrived on campus.

The student’s social networking page has allegedly since been shut down.

He will now face two counts of inducing panic, one count each of aggravated menacing and telecommunications harassment. All of the charges are first-degree misdemeanors.

At present, he is being held at the Portage/Geauga County Juvenile Detention Facility, and appeared in court on Feb. 29
