She was Hawaii's golden girl after winning a seat in Congress with support from top liberal groups, but now that Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has been critical of President Obama, her political reputation in the bluest of blue states is taking a hit.
That isn’t stopping the twice-deployed 33-year-old Army veteran from continuing to challenge the president, her home state's favorite son, over his refusal to identify terror groups like the Islamic State as driven by "radical Islam.”
“Every soldier knows this simple fact: If you don't know your enemy, you will not be able to defeat him,” Gabbard told FoxNews.com. “Our leaders must clearly identify the enemy as Islamist extremists, understand the ideology that is motivating them and attracting new recruits, and focus on defeating that enemy both militarily and ideologically.”
Gabbard called "mind-boggling" Obama's refusal to associate ISIS with the Muslim religion, even though the terrorist army is emphatic it is enforcing a strict interpretation of Islam.
Her comments have stunned political experts in her home state.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is closer to the truth than most Democrats, but the message is still not right. Listen to Alan Wests explanation of Islam as a panel speaker at a Hudson Institute event in 2010, and you then have the entire truth.
She’s too attractive to be a democrat.
This proves she was merely pretending to be a liberal so she could get elected in Hawaii.
Was the ghost of Stalin asleep at the switch?
She is the ONLY attractive Democrat in DC....maybe even in all of the USA!
Her father Mike Gabbard actually used to be in the GOP, but switched since the party only exists on paper in HI.
Or the TEA party.
Former Army Officer, OIF veteran is now a Traitor to the current brainwashed democrat/communist combine.
From article: “... Our national security and the future of our country is infinitely more important than partisan politics or my personal political future.”
“She’s a left-leaning Democrat until it comes to foreign affairs.” & her family consider themselves to be ‘social conservatives.’
Thanks for the ping. Apparently, she didn’t abandon what she learned in the Army.
Political "experts" in her home state are cowardly idiots

That's a fact!
How long ago? Jefferson era?
Proud of her bravery and loyalty to the US. You almost have to have as much courage to buck the seething and vengeful Dear Reader as you do to fight on the battle field.
Really?
