Watching the video of CBS, Face the Nation
Stanley McChrystal on Face the Nation - has no problem with Chuck Hagel. Believes a term of national service for our youth is important for our nation. It doesn’t have to be in the miltary. It will help pull people together from different walks of life (lower/middle/upper classes).
THis guy sounds like a liberal.
Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa on Face the Nation - There is a push for comprehensive immigration reform - time is now - not only a moral issue but an economic issue. Must be a pathway to FULL citizenship. Must be bi-partisan. Is happy with McCain and other “repub’s” in the Senate working on this issue.
On gun issues - after Newtown we can do this. We need a universal background check. This will help get guns out of the hands of people who don’t need them. Need to update/beef up “mental health registries”. As far as guards in schools - Mayor V.... says LA has the guards already. Doesn’t agree with the NRA that we should be arming our teachers.
I think he is a liberal, too. He was sandbagged by an article written by a reporter who was ‘embedded’ with his staff. At a meeting in Europe, possibly Brussels, tongues were loosened at a social occasion. I’m sure that McChrystal thought he was one of the ‘good’ guys, so would get a good write-up. Oops! The reporter was a classic leftie, to whom all people in uniform are looked on as objects of ridicule and contempt.
