We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

Aside from being a moron and a foghorn, this woman has serious mental issues. Not that Uncle Janet was any prize.

Well, you know that Obama will appoint another left wing nutcase with no qualifications or expertise for the job. Might as well be Lee.

Let us NEVER FORGET the IDIOT Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) asking the staff of the Johnson Space Center in Houston about the Mars Rover: What a glowing example of the wisdom from the African-American Race.

She'll want Cynthia McKinney as her assistant, no doubt.

We already have too many anti-Americans in the government.
