    They’re AWOL on the norks. Their action in regards to Iran is naive. They’re doing in Iraq pretty much what Bush would have done any­way prob­a­bly, and inci­den­tally com­pletely flip flop­ping on what was promised in their cam­paign, not that the media both­ers pin­ning them down on that lit­tle lie. Not a bad first step in Stan, but more empha­sis needs to be placed on stand­ing up a larger army and police force. Pakistan’s civil­ian govt needs a well placed boot in the you know what. I don’t have a prob­lem with much of the pro­gram cuts pro­posed, save the long range strike one, bombers=good.

    Something I don’t get. Maybe I’m dim:
    Right-​​Wing extrem­ist groups “may attempt to recruit return­ing vet­er­ans.” = Badmouthing vet­er­ans? I could under­stand if they said “Right-​​wing vet­er­ans are prone to vio­lence” or some­thing of a sim­i­larly inflam­ma­tory nature. But all they said was hey, there are nut-​​jobs out there and they’re going after Vets, so keep and eye out and keep them away from our heroes.
    Well, that and the overblown out­rage about the words “right-​​wing extrem­ists.” Putting aside that I’ve seen plenty on the polit­i­cal Right advo­cate the LITERAL death and dis­mem­ber­ment of “left-​​wing extrem­ists” on a daily basis, pre­tend­ing that “Right-​​wing Extremists” are some kind of Liberal fab­ri­ca­tion is pretty hard for a guy that used to work in down­town Oklahoma City.

    ROFLAMO Moose,
    You ever been to the far left sites its like lookin at a bunch of mini hitlers. Ive seen every­thing from forced cas­tra­tion to stop pop­u­la­tion growth to slav­ery of those not wit the “pro­gram”, to intern­ment camps reed­u­ca­tion camps, god you name it they think it.
    Crazy bas­terds man. Thought im not say­ing the far right is any bet­ter luckly there arent alot of either. Its mostly mod­er­ates in both the right wing and left wing parties.….unfortunatly most left wingers i know would believe any­thing :(
    So help me if the repub­li­can party choses Ron paul ill form my own damn poarty.

    I wouldnt go that far david i think Obama has for many rea­sons includ­ing the veiws of his mother a back­ward idea of gov­ern­ment and of the rights and respon­si­bil­i­ties of the com­mon voter.
    His mother Hated amer­ica she avoided par­ties with he hus­band who was a diplo­mate in indone­sia at the time.
    Why would any­one ever trust some­one who seeks absolute power from the age of 5…thats scary.
    Though none of what obama is doing now would be pos­si­ble with­out the rot on both sides of the isle.
    Term lim­ites for all con­gress­ment and sene­tors and judges. No more pork bills no more secret bills (obama and the slicker con­gress crit­ers love these).
    Basicaly obama is a lawyer not the devil or hitler. To him all things are rele­tive he is right because he Knows he is.

    Not going for either side. I didn’t vote for Obama but I think its too early to give a true rat­ing so I put C. He has his qual­i­ties but I have notice that he hasn’t fol­lowed his promised promises like most elected. Hoped since he was younger he might under­stand that was some­thing that was need­ing worked on with becom­ing President. Prefer him over a cor­rupt Joe Biden anyday.

    “cut our (mil­i­tary) bud­get” — the DoD bud­get went UP, genius.

    As for fox i realy dont watch news much on tv any­more.
    I got my infor­ma­tion from those who accually reaserched his fam­ily and himself..but hey CNN and such are so much more reli­able.

    When he blames all his actions on sit­u­a­tions cre­ated by the past (President Bush). Then keeps chang­ing the story every 30seconds on the mat­ter of inter­reag­tions. You can’t trust a Senator from the Chicago their too much cor­rup­tion thei.

    Consider this hum­ble opin­ion of a 23-​​year pro­fes­sional (IPW) Interrogator/​polyglot lin­guist.
    OUR METHODS ARE NOT TORtURE.…compare to the bru­tal­i­ties of the enemy.…and in keep­ing with the Latin credo of the intel­li­gence: Hostem cognoscere (Know Your Enemy). THEY WORK!!!! They are NO WHERE near the mus­lim rad­i­cals’ tac­tics.
    WE HAVE NEVER BEHEADED ANYONE. CRIPPLED, MAIMED, OR OTHERWISE PHYSICALLY DISABLED ANYONE…other than some loss of their dignity…but we SAVED many of our mil­i­tary mem­bers and the #often com­plain­ing# civlians…especially those of the patho­log­i­cal politi­cians. God Bless our forces!!!

    First Cav must want to work for DHS. He cer­tain­ley meets the quals.
    First ques­tion, let’s see, you think that any­one who does not bow down and wor­ship Osama is a right wing ter­ror­ist extrem­ist, your hired!
    At least Texans have the jew­els to call a messed up sys­tem a messed up sys­tem. I sup­pose you hate Pennsylvania too. What did Osama say about the peo­ple from PA? Oh right, they cling to their God and their guns…
    Hmm… Well, the Osama camp is work­ing at remov­ing gun rights, and cov­er­ing up Christian sym­bols when he has a speech at a reli­gious site, but he has no prob­lem bow­ing to the Saudi King.
    I think he will have a hard time tak­ing guns away from a Pennsylvania man, god for­bid he try that in Texas.
    And I think he will come to find there is one true God that the Pennsylvanian’s trust in, and Allah is not his name…

    What was the national deficet when GW left office? And what is it now? Stimulus pack­age? Sure, if you are stim­u­lated by a Prez who sports a nice six-​​pak but knows absolutely noth­ing about eco­nom­ics. And that goes dou­ble for his “advi­sors”. Gimmie a flabby POTUS who can speak with­out the aid of mul­ti­ple teleprompters, under­stands and means what he says, and is not pulling pub­lic­ity stunts by becom­ing chummy with America’s ene­mies. Looking strong and being strong are two com­pletely dif­fer­ent things.
