Brilliant as usual bray. I especially liked this part.

Now we see the same tactic being used for any and every political goal the anti-free marketers want. Of course this is how Global Warming is being manipulated as America is paying billions for a fraud, but the latest is guns. The commies have basically taken over the country but there is a large minority they cannot control with their Three Pillars.

Without sounding like a broken record the Demoncrat party issues talking points, campaign issues, very similarly to what you post.

For instance,take "it was all GW 's fault" or many others. Simply focus test the theory. "Its all his fault", "the rich can pay a little more", "Republicans hate women",choose your dem issue.

All are focus tested before an audience and once they look good are spread far and wide amongst the DBM. Once the DBM(driveby media) have made them "truths" they have now become "issues" and its legitimate to fund raise and demagogue us from these made up lies which are now issues.

The basis for it all is the lie.

Our problem is we have not learned how to counter the lie yet.

As it stands we have only one Carrier Group ready to go at a moments notice.

Totally Obama's choice.

He's holding the military hostage over getting his way, plain and simple. The press will tear-jerk and 'splain away as the Republican's fault, and the GOPe will accept it with more tears from Boner.

But at least here, let us know that the entire thing is an Obama trick.

Pelosi is making very little sense on Fox.

She makes very little sense every time she opens her piehole.

Did Durbin happen to mention that it was the radical right wing blog that was ging after Ssint Menendez? I am so sick of the double standard. Looks like Jessie, Jr will just get a slap on the wrist. I don’t even have to mention that if they were R’s. ... You know, Weiner must have pissed the mightty D’s off or he would still be there.

Incremental destruction of our military.

Add in bringing our nuke stock down to 300 then zero and you are very near not having to fire a shot to take over the country.Scary just how fast a communist administration can stealthily destroy a once great country.

Its all starts with beating us politically every time.

Little changes there so far.

I had no idea about the naming of winter storms! Thank you for that PC information. I have a Weather Radio, for such notices, because during foul weather, we often lose power, down here in the South, where our weather can change on a dime.

Nope, he just mentioned his name. I was amazed he mentioned Menendez at all.

Shoveling, tons and tons and tons. I feel so sorry for y’all stuck with that burden.

I appreciate the sympathy, but actually I have machines that do all the bullwork, my job is fixing them after I break them...(usually during a storm) so I'll apply it to that.

Ohhh, sparks flying between RINO Chrystal and RAT Whaaan over defense "cuts" and the responsibility of the alleged president.

Sorry I should have looked it over before posting. When I get upset, which seems to be all the time now, I type too fast.

I’m convinced now what he is doing to those of us in the military now is on purpose. There is no other rational explanation.

Repeal of DADT...allowing women into the infantry and armor branches and now allowing the “spouses” of gay couples to have ID cards and benefits.

Combine that with the looming 500 billion in cuts making us a hollow force reminiscent of the Carter years decreases in our benefits and a paltry 1% pay raise proposed for FY 2014.

This is...in my personal opinion...a purposeful attempt to break the morale and will of our armed forces.

This Administration and 99.9% of the Libtards today see the military as the execution tool of all the evil that America has spread around the world since we were founded. So just as America has to be taken down a notch...so too must her military. By whatever means necessary.

There is no other way to explain it.

And in the mean time all of our enemies are gearing up and improving their militaries. Why? Because they know we have been put in a position where we can’t oppose them.

Not that this administration actually wants to stop them...

Your acid rain reference makes me recall a story that illustrates the influence of school systems on the propaganda of the day. During the peak of the acid rain scares, my daughter was required to do a seventh grade science fair project. She choose to measure the acidity of rain, and then the runoff in rivers and lakes. We lived in an area deemed highly susceptible to acid rain. The supplies were simply a bowl, and some litmus paper strips.

She found that the rain was only very slightly acidic, while the rivers and streams were quite neutral. A little research led to the observation that the acidity was likely due to carbonic acid (from the now dreaded CO2) and that it was quickly neutralized by the soil. Since this finding was quite opposed to the propaganda being taught, I thought her results were quite significant.

I had recently acquired a brand new PC-XT with a full 10 meg hard drive with one 5-1/4 inch 360K floppy drive, and a pen plotter. We plotted her results on the plotter. She also made some plots for a friend who had looked up some information in an encyclopedia, for her "science project".

My daughter received a red ribbon - the lowest prize given, with no comments by the judges. Her friend got a blue ribbon, with comments about her great graphics. My daughter's problem, obviously, was that her data defied the propaganda being spewed by the school system. The last thing they needed was some stupid student presenting facts that disputed that.

But my question then to Panetta and Joint Chief Dempsey is: So what did YOU do? Why did you not send in help? Who gave order to “stand down”?

One question I have in that regard was prompted by what Dempsey said in the hearing--and I have yet to hear anyone in the MSM or elsewhere raise it.

Dempsey said that the Pentagon was looking at plenty of other problems that day--9/11--including in Cairo, as mobs rioted in front of our Embassy. When you look at the timeline of day's events, you see that Benghazi happened around 9 pm that evening well after the events in Cairo had occurred. So what was DOD doing in response to the events in Cairo before Benghazi? Did they move any of our forces closer to the region? Were they put on alert? After 9/11 there were demonstrations worldwide against the US, e.g, Tunisia, Yemen, Karachi, etc. but Dempsey tried to conflate those with the events of 9/11.

I wonder why we have 5 aircraft carriers sitting side by side. What happened to “Remember Pearl Harbor”?

To ask is to know the answer.

Wallace to McLame: Gee willikers Senator, you always seem to find youself at the center of everything.

So if we had gotten McCain in 2008 instead of Obama, we would be leading from the middle, not from behind.
