Just a salute to Daniel Hernandez (Gifford's volunteer intern).

Hmmm, no responses.

Okay, I will let the thread sink.

I still think it remarkable that a 20 year old college volunteer intern had the wherewithal in a highly stressful situation to apply pressure to his boss' head and hold the pressure until Giffords was wheeled into the ER.

Again, kudos to you Daniel for being such a positive, humble role model.

:roses:

Big deal. He called the victims heroes? WTF is up with that?

OP, I hate to say this because I've generally been a fan of your posts, but that speech was revolting. That effeminate intern used his time in the spotlight to preach the leftist/statist agenda, to lionize the State, to espouse the view that people who work for the State or Leftist causes are better than people who don't. He used his time to indoctrinate a large audience to believe in the superiority of the Leftist State.

and I again will delete your post. It is offensive especially in a thread that salutes a young man who showed selflessness and humility.

BTW, I am not an Obama supporter in any way, shape or form but I will state his speechwriters wrote a fantastic speech that set a very good tone for the nation.

Or he is just an idealistic 20 year old that still believes he can make a difference.


This tragedy really hit home for me, although I lived in Phoenix, I know the Tucson area well. Know alot of people in that area and am very familiar with UMC.

Perhaps I viewed this speech and Bam-Bam's through the rose colored glasses of my youth; wanting to see the good in the world shine through. I wasn't paying attention to the political rhetoric (although I did make snide comments when I saw Pukelosi, Crappy Nappy and Holder there).

Just for this moment, this solemn event, I want to see beyond political ideals and see the gestures of kindness, recognize the good in others.

Just trying to shed some positive light on a very tragic event. Thanks for posting HL, I always respect your opinion.
