Period!<br /><br />Now we will see who has some balls to put a stop to this nonsense; the anti-American crook in the white house needs impeachment yesterday and, should not be able to continue his destruction. <br /><br />Do we have at least one courageous leader or, have they all been turned into p***ies?<br /><br />I would also expect our military to stand up and say 'enough' with this nonsense. This current crew in the white house are really setting us up for the kill and, nobody notice?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-58338483904650529992014-02-26T09:10:52.581-05:002014-02-26T09:10:52.581-05:00While I share the concern over the consequences of...While I share the concern over the consequences of these proposed cuts, the hard truth is that our government is spending waaay too much, and laying the groundwork for a financial collapse because of how much money it is creating out of thin air to cover the present revenue shortfall.<br /><br />We simply cannot afford the present military, as much as we find it useful. When we pull back, and we must if our spending is to stay within revenues, other nations who loth us are going to step in to fill the power vacuum we leave behind. <br /><br />Overspending, waste and fiat money have consequences, and this is one of them.<br /><br />-- theBuckWheat<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-38938023133251527702014-02-25T23:32:25.985-05:002014-02-25T23:32:25.985-05:00I pity the future generations that will pay in blo...I pity the future generations that will pay in blood for the hollowed out military that will not have the spare parts, equipment, training nor cohesion required to face an enemy assault. Americans do not remember what happened to Task Force Smith that was sent out to "shatter" the North Korean invasion of the South nor the elimination of naval and marine pilots flying obsolete Buffalos and Devastators at Midway.<br /><br /><br />In 1941 no sane person would believe the Japanese would be stupid enough to attack the US, even the Japanese knew they could not defeat the USA. But their rational did not conform to American thinking and tens of thousands paid with their lives needlessly.<br /><br />Our military has been strained by the aimless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not only should these descredit the limited war mentality but they deprived the military of needed material and upgrades. Our last tanks were build decades ago, our B-52 is fifty years old, our Los Angeles class was designed in the 60s and there is no follow on. <br /><br />Why is there never the urge to cut the nedless welfare programs ofr the leeches nor any effort to root out the billions in fraud?<br /><br />While the dems use a wrecking ball the GOP does nothing content to do nothing.<br /><br /><br />Burn it all down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-62677777102749753842014-02-25T22:19:58.845-05:002014-02-25T22:19:58.845-05:00No Trialdog, they could stand up, and refuse to go...No Trialdog, they could stand up, and refuse to go along with this dismanteling of our Military. They could counter with bringing up Impeachment hearings, and refusing to fund the massive welfare state. They could make an all out effort to garner the will of the people on this issue, and buy air time on network television to state their case. But, being the pussies they are, they'll do nothing.Mike in Grasonvillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-75737755309536997952014-02-25T21:46:51.316-05:002014-02-25T21:46:51.316-05:00Barry's play is to force republicans, who theo...Barry's play is to force republicans, who theoretically care about adequate military spending, to accept tax increases, amnesty, expanded democratic party slush fund programs, and gay everything, in exchange for maintaining some military security. The Commander in Chief is holding the military hostage to obtain his redistributive domestic policy goals, which, coincidentally, are designed to ensure a permanent democratic political majority until the end.
