Obama knows that if Major Nidal Hasan is tried, he'll be convicted (there are dozens of eye-witnesses to the shooting) and receive the death penalty. Obama won't let a Muslim be executed on his watch so he'll make sure the trial is postponed indefinitely. Hasan isn't going to complain. If Hasan is finally tried and convicted, he'll appeal and drag the process out even longer, at least until Obama is out of office (if he ever is). Then the Muslims will make a big stink and try to use our laws and our constitution to spare Hasan from execution. That will fail. His crime was too horrific to be justified or explained away and Hasan has shown he won't play the remorse game so he'll finally be executed, probably around 2018.
Your analysis of Christie is right on!
Rand Paul thinks we should have a great military primarily geared for defense, that we should quit sending money to ations that hate us, we should help defend our allies, and nation building through war (Iraq) is not the right thing to do. Rand Paul thinks that if we have to go to war, we strike hard, using our power to defeat quickly rather than have a war designed to make defense contractors rich.
>>>I think that the way to handle him is by making it very clear that Liberty is more important than safety in the American context.
In the American context, there is no safety without liberty. That’s actually what needs to be made clear to him.
Apparently you missed the point of the utter hypocrisy of Obama. And the to your question, in some case it is better to capture terrorist for intel and not, they don’t get the same rights as US citizens.
Said well!
I don’t think Christie is going anywhere and the GOPe knows it, but they are happy to have a loudmouth slob talk bad about the GOPe’s biggest danger.
Paul is not a libertarian either. Libertarians’ are pro choice, pro homosexual agenda and open borders. Paul is none of those things.
If you ever want to win a national election again then you had better stop insulting conservatives that lean libertarian. There is a huge difference real Libertarians and those of us that want a small constitutional government that protects individual liberty.
Don’t worry- large government agencies, the the IRS, or NSA, would NEVER use their power, and vast information, for domestic political purposes, or to harass conservatives....
Inconceivable!
You don’t know much about Libertarians, do you?
Joke’s on you. I am a libertarian-leaning conservative.
I am also registered as an Independent.
Based on a couple of things I have seen my take is that Ms. Coulter’s apparent ‘embrace’ of the fat boy was as close as she could come to giving a finger to the GOP insiders who effectively black mailed her into shutting up before the 2012 campaign. Christie is the embodiment of bad politics, big, fat, sloppy, and out of control and Ms. Coulter certainly knew that. Before the 2012 campaign was well underway some insider hatchet men , think say Mike Murphy and that bald queer that ‘ran’ the McCain campaign, quietly told A C that if she didn't shut her snarky mouth during the Mitt procession she was going to be effectively Palined and there were plenty of very embarrassing photos showing Ann engaging in various activities with few or no clothes on and a lot of shall we say lapses in personal conduct that would mysteriously be leaked to tabloids and programs such as ‘Hollywood tonight’ and from there the firestorm would take off. She knew she was figuratively screwed and her absurd neo-sexual embrace of Christie was as close as she could come to throwing it back at her black mailers.
From what I know of the two men's personalities and personal lives I would pick George III to be President seven days a week over BHO. George III may have been narrow and a bit pompous but he was an ethical, hard working, and moral man who strove to execute the powers of his office in the best way he perceived the interests of all his subjects. There is nothing good in BHO, I have reluctantly come to believe. We are led by a deeply flawed morally corrupt and ethically compromised man who basically wants to harm in a real material sense the lives and livelihoods of many of the citizens of the country he leads. This is what is really new and evil in this administration. There have been many failed presidents and in the case of Clinton a psychologically maladjusted one. None have ever had feelings of active hatred or a large part of the American population. BHO, due to his twisted childhood and adolescence seeks people to be the target of his anger and rage as psychological displacement. BHO hates normal middle class especially white Americans and would do them real harm as much as he can.
