It’s time to move outside our comfort zone. A takeover is going on. Wait until we can’t do anything?

Just wait until this hits the 6 o’clock news. First it was the thugs at the voting booths and now it’s threats against a US congressman and the military. Ya know, for someone who depends on the military to keep him and his family from harm, this might not be the best time to spit on them. Smooth move, Ex-lax.

Obama is a radical communist like Alan Keyes said. BO will do anything to pass Obamacare to gain control over every aspect of our lives, esp. insurance premiums, property as collateral for healthcare (including guns), death panels, etc. as his hatred of America brings us down into abject poverty.
Clair McCaskill could be a hero and end this madness by exposing Obama as not eligible for the presidency. Otherwise, she will be one of the disgraced Senate Judiciary Committee who kept silent.

Glenn Beck pointed out that the Dems who are voting against the loud and overwhelming wishes of their constituencies are doing so because they’ve been promised lucrative positions as lobbyists or as corporate board members. He said to check the connection between Rahm and the head of GM. These guys may lose their seats in Congress but not their power. Pretty depressing.

He should vote NO and dare him to close it. They try to close it, the time has come.

Hey, I live here in Mobile AL and Dims have no pride - when Alabama voted for Goldwater over LBJ, shortly after the election Brookley AFB was closed - never mind that it was the only military base that had air, rail and water access and was a major supplier for our troops in Vietnam....Dims don’t give a crap about our country or our security....

I think everyone that works on or is connected to that base needs to sent a note to Obama....

This is disgusting

The WH can’t close jack***.

Just call the Senators on the BRAC and let them know what the WH has said.

I’m sure the Pentagon would love it too.

Nelson is the last hold-out for handouts? Great.

Levin is covering this right now.

You have some good pictures on your profile page. How I wish Ronald Reagan were with us today. He was the best.

Yes, just like the Congressional Budget Office. Right after they were called into the Oval Office, the healthcare bill magically became just okee dokee.

The only thing I can HOPE will be a positive is that members of Congress, the State Dept in Hawaii and/or the Secret Service/CIA will manage to get a case moving on the natural born citizen issue.

Even those who are Democrat aren’t this radical for the most part. I mean this is beyond every Democrat I’ve ever met except the extreeeme left loonies and there aren’t 50% of America made of them. Most Democrats I know will debate me on issues, but won’t let this country get torn down. Even those who are pretty liberal socially.

Yeah, Obama is going to step over the line. He’s already spit on the CIA, the Secret Service (to protect The First Lady’s BFF), ‘racist’ police across the country, and now this. The military is going to realize if he can shut down a valuable base so dismissively, how can they trust him to be an honorable CiC and not send them marching off to slaughter?

I am distraught at this, but I have hope there is a glimmer of optimism in it.
