Did she complain when Obama did it?

Or, did Obama only do the minimum amount for appearances’ sake?

There's the problem … Congress should be composed of AMERICANS.

It’s been 25 years since the GOP House election committee was competent.

Not a single Somali should have been allowed into the USA.

In fact, a fence should be put up around the entire country so they can’t pollute their neighbors.

That is not a treasonous statement, as we are not at war with Africa. But it is a profoundly unpatriotic and dangerous statement. The really sad thing is that no Democrats will have a problem with it.

** The more droning, the better **

Should we have some new rule-of-thumb now for evaluating policy?

I agree we need to reassess how deal with them. Three plane Arc Light bombing runs like in Vietnam. Works for me.

"here's the problem … Congress should be composed of AMERICANS. "

Thank you.

They're acting like a world body, like the UN.

They're elected to look out for us.

Only someone sympathetic to Jihadis would complain about this. I say this is something that SHOULD BE DONE.
