I submit to you Chuck that passing laws that the Goverment apply to some, but not members of the government is Tyranny and Tyranny has always led to the People becoming ‘ungovernable’.

"Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel criticized Congress on Saturday as “astoundingly irresponsible” and said that using threats to shut down the government to satisfy a political whim is dangerously shortsighted."

What...?

Chuck Hagel should show us all how he feels and just leave the country. I’ll buy his ticket.

Ungovernable means that some of the great unwashed are talking back to their betters in Washington. Just look at Juan McCain. Some of the peons are actually insulting his royal traitor-ness.

Read the word “ungovernable” in the context suggested by John Kerry, who recently complained that freedom makes it difficult to govern.

So Hagel, too, thinks we’re too free. And he controls the troops with all the great guns. And, since his troops are losing overseas, will he lust for a victory, even if it’s at home?

Gotta love the democrat progressive/oppressives.

Our Sec. Def. Chuck “Foster Brooks’’ Hagel at it again. Hey Chuck, your party shut down the government every year Jimmy Carter was president and six times during the Reagan administration. Seriously dude, with your money you can afford better than the rot-gut you must be drinking.

Note the unfunded liability PER taxpayer at $1.1 million each. We’re in very serious financial trouble.

“Ungovernable”? Let me get this straight - Congress and the Executive have a falling-out over a particularly oppressive piece of legislation and because they can’t form a united front against the great unwashed the country is ungovernable? We’re all pretty used to this “us, the Ruling Class, versus Them, the governed” attitude but it isn’t often stated quite that baldly. Thanks for candor anyway, Chuckie.

I agree. There is nothing anybody can do. War is coming.

Hagel is right in a way. There is such a huge cultural gulf between liberals and conservatives and between the Makers and the Takers that we can't live peaceably under the same government.

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." - John Adams

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." - The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

We aren't one people any longer.

Poor old stupid lib elitist. Thinks he is relevant. Claims he is conservative.

Like Jimmah Cahtah, this man never met a lib or a dictator he didn't like. His statement that Obama would make a fine president explains a lot.

Enemy of conservatism and of The Republic.

If the madness of the last twenty years is government, I’m eager for anarchy. I’m armed, competent and already angry. It’s not advisable for a government to try to threaten me with anything. The fuse is short.

And I am so not alone.

“Ungovernable” sounds nice to me. Given the proportion of government actions that harm decent people, reducing what government can do to us would be a good thing.
