Thus, my issue comes down to the hypocrisy. Really, my post is no difference than that entire "news" story - basically, complaining for the sake of complaining.

This flyover thing is about the weakest thing you've brought to the table here ever. You can't compare the NYC flyover to a request for a church group event to have one as a "patriotic gesture for our military personnel". Do you realize that a military flyover isn't the same thing as a single jet doing an unannounced flyover in a major city? Besides, this event has been approved for a flyover for the last 42 years. Is that not news? It certainly makes you think that someone might be sticking it to a conservative group.
