Since The Bernank and Turbo Tim are generating a trillion per year or so in fake money what's another couple hundred million?
Oh, and by the way Senator, I would expect you to know that the governors command, and can call up their states’ National Guard without any “allow” from Congress, and since they are then in the State role, are not subject to Posse Comitatus. That’s why NG is called up for civil disturbances, not the active component.
I have to admit there's only a very few ultra-blue states that would vote her in. She found one of them.
It will cost that much to weed out all the pedophiles and perverts.
Agreed. They wouldn’t be saying a thing.
Slipped a gear on that one didn’t eye?
Lot of ignorance here and with the politicians about the National Guard {and it’s National Guard, never national guards - they’re not warehouse watchmen}.
The National Guard is already under control of the states and its governors. It does not need federal authorization to do something, even something as stupid as this proposal by dumb-as-dirt Boxer.
National Guardsmen do not hang around the armory like fireman at the firehouse waiting for the next call from some stupid politician. They have real full-time civilian jobs like you do and train for real missions, from Special Ops insertions and fighter air strikes in Afghanistan to evacuation and rescue in a local flood.
Somehow it’s in too many people’s minds, including here at FR, that the Guard {not “guards”} is sort of like a constabulary day labor force ready to do the job that other well paid bureacracies can’t or won’t do, like guard the border, do drug searches, or guard schoolhouses.
She admits something most flaming lefties will not admit, that you can `fight fire with fire,’ but she doesn’t want to admit that common citizens can be trusted with guns.
Soldiers have to do it.
OK Babs, guns with good guys behind them belong in school. Now we’re getting somewhere. We’re really not that bad.
Yet.
To #6: Why is this woman still in the U.S. Senate?
Easy answer: She is proof positive that the mentally ill can win a Democrat Senate race ad nauseaum in California. Same applies to a lot of Democrat Representatives all over the country: Maxine Waters; Sheila Lee Jackson; Clyburn; Johnson; Hastings, Debbie WassermanTest-Putz; Alan Grayson, the poster boy for Mental Health Year; Schumer; Reid; that dork from Illinois - Durbin; Kerry; Harkin; Franken; Kaine; etc.
And we call Lanza “crazy”!
Are you sure that it’s crazy?
Couldn’t it just be brain dead stupid?
As far as I'm concerned, E-1 through E-5 need to be studying their MOS or AFSC and trying to upgrade.
Officers need to be prodded with rare books from the 1600s on pike squares or put on the spot with what OODA means. Or be made to quote from Tzun Tzu.
Oh, and keeping their deployment folder, shot record, dental record, medical record, diversity training stuff up to date.
Our guys are busy enough. Give protecting schools to vets that have a couple of DD-214s under their belts and are too fat to hump a mile and a half with the kids.

The bloody shirt did wonders for the Reverend Jackson’s career. But Babs wanting to turn weekend warriors into weekday warriors? Never let a crisis go to waste, I suppose.
What good are soldiers without guns?
But will they be inside or outside the metal doors?
Did she get to the part about having guns that shoot confetti?
Why not? They're not doing anything anyway. If they were actually doing their job, we wouldn't have the dumbest kids in the world.
And, you know, what's really very interesting is, as I introduce my bills
I, ME, MY!
What's really very interesting is; NOT you, you festering attention whore.
