There was a Hezbollah linked man involved with the Awan.

Falls church just so happens to be home to the infamous mosque, Dar al Hijra... and that’s Anwar al Awlaki’s bailiwik before he assumed room temp in Yemen. Funny thing is there’s no mention of the Awan’s house of worship, if any.

See key word “fallschurchcell”

“Hezbollah is a very interesting organization,” Brennan told a Washington conference, saying it had evolved from “purely a terrorist organization” to a militia and, ultimately, a political party with representatives in the Lebanese Parliament and Cabinet, according to a Reuters report.”

Let’s change a few words . . .

“The KKK is a very interesting organization,” Brennan told a Washington conference, saying it had evolved from “purely a terrorist organization” to a militia and, ultimately, a political party with representatives in the United States Senate and the Cabinet, like Robert Byrd, according to a Reuters report.

I live in Texas and it would go Republican thus my votes for the libertarian candidates were simply a protest.

I live in California, where both conservatism and the GOP are dead and buried and whose 55 electoral votes are a forgone conclusion.

The only meaningful political act I can do is to donate money to out-of-state candidates (and presidential campaigns).

In fact being a registered voter here, as a conservative, is just a way of saying "Yes, I'll do jury duty". It has no other purpose.

Also, what relationship does this bear with “Cash for Clunkers?” Clearing the field of competition, using government money? The whole Obunghole administration stunk to high heaven.

I’m a alicornian, too. What you say is very true. Those bastard Dems engineered all the immigration to their favor from the 1965 Kennedy immigration bill. Repubs were totally clueless...or in on it. And at the time they actually claimed it wouldn’t change the face of America.

Cash for clunkers took a few million older cars off the streets.

A cash for clunker car could never be registered as an operational vehicle in the US so it’s US domestic value was pretty much zero

When Iranians bought clunkers with illegal drug money, they paid pennies on the dollars for the cars

They then shipped them to Africa where they sold the ex clunkers for a much higher price and not only were Iranians able to launder the drug money, they were able to transport the laundered money out of the country legally and make a healthy resale profit on the cars courtesy of the American taxpayer

The profits then went to finance terrorism

Who knows? Maybe inertia. Maybe because I’m typing this while looking at the ocean in one of the very pleasant (but way-too-expensive) coastal towns that have not yet become North Mexico.

But it won’t last. Eventually even these nice places will become like “nice places” in the third world, where everyone with anything lives behind cinderblock walls, barred windows and guard dogs.

I’d never heard of it before. Amazed that it’s a Politico piece.

Soliemni I was up to his eyeballs in Hezbollah and Barry let em skate.
