This is a bad morning. I was greeted by a headline in the New York Times that said Defense Secretary “Chuck Mullet” Hagel was planning to submit a budget to Congress to cut the size of the military to a level not seen since 1940, before the U.S. entered World War II.
The article went on to say that the Pentagon realized that this would be an inadequate force for even very small wars and certainly would not allow the U.S. to police the world and keep control of contingencies like a North Korean attack on the South or a Chinese attack on Japan or an Iranian assault on Saudi Arabia or a Russian invasion of the Ukraine.
The Defense Department officials further said that because U.S. forces would be stretched so thin, the U.S. could not win wars quickly and there would be more casualties in any future war.
So, in other words, the President (of course it’s not Hagel…he’s just a bobble head for Obama and his ultra-leftists) is deliberately disarming America to the point where he cannot guarantee his ability to defend the nation.
Now, my wife says this is just plain treason. I don’t know if she’s right because the Constitution has a fairly strict definition of treason. But it is surely the grossest kind of betrayal of country. This kind of action is the kind taken by a man who hates the country of which he is president. To knowingly lay bare the life of American fighting men to our enemies is something a lot like murder.
In a way, it stuns me. In a way, it horrifies me.
But in another way, it does not surprise me at all. Mr. Obama has never liked America...

Young Earth threads are my favorite to play on.
Everything you see today is explained by the Great Flood.
Random chance (aka evolution) couldn't have done it,
but a huge flood could. And that shows that the world is just a few thousand years old. That and counting the 'begets'.
Especially a Intelligent Flood (IF) could
Call it IF
I am not a young earther but I think that 17th amendment has to go. The two things are not related. Repealing the 17th is not far fetched at all.
I see thee sit to pee Free Republic RINO humping negative ninnies of status quo are on this thread.
Where...
you
I love you too sweetie!!! Smooch!
:^)
Anyone that does not think that the passing of the disastrous 17th amendment was the answer to the dreams of the early 20th century progressives is an idiot and a progressive also.
Wasn’t even talking about that.
Track back a bit.
And don’t go looking for a feud where none need exist.
Thanks. Strictly speaking ‘roids don’t form on the taint, but taint is a funny word so I went with it. Not enough people would get “irma”.
Or, to allow the elite to make that (free people) claim. I suppose there are two finctions. Fool the suckers into thinking they are in control, and then legitimize all the higher taxes, micro-management that the elites are fond of imposing for their cronies.
I was disappointed when I heard Cruz make an anti-17th remark since he is the #1 example we can point to of how repealing the 17th would screw us over. That was around the same time he praised Nelson Mandela, bad week for him.
As for creationists, they don’t understand evolution, or science in general, all they care about is defending their literal interpretation of the Bible.
Reminds me of former White Sox Player “Jurassic” Carl Everett who claimed all dinosaur fossils were fakes.
Their objective requires they at least act like they don't
Species evolution like the age of the earth is a theory, (and a set of many theories) its based on evidence that was assumed to be from the distant past.
It cant be a fact, we were not there to watch it. Its like many other sciences.
Its also a scientific paradigm.
Creationism is a dishonest and disingenuous scam.
Its not a scientific theory, and they know its not.
Those Creation science centers are just scam centers,
Some Atheists cause trouble because they claim evolution is a fact and also proof of their atheistic beliefs. They are just as bad as Creationists
Yeah, Venezuelans also get to vote.
GIGITTY!
Well thought out! “Irma” needs more exposure.
Carl Everett is truly insane.
If I saw Ben Stein, I’d drop trou and take a dump* on his shoes. Then tell him he’s being relocated to a work camp in the East.
*Thank you Billy Bob Thornton.
Yeah, and I wonder if he (and them) said the same thing in 2006 and 2007.
Wasn’t she “unbeatable” back then too? Do any of these prognosticators ever read their own silly predictions?

Someone saw Adam and Eve?
Perhaps the best-known of these was his denial of the existence of dinosaurs. He was quoted as saying, “God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and then made Adam and Eve. The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Somebody actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus rex.” He also derided fossils of dinosaur bones as man-made fakes.[
Yep, if its not mention in the Bible and we haven't seen it it obviously never existed. I guess he met Adam and Eve himself, or saw them in a kids Bible illustration book.
And his father was a freakin’ Keynesian economist under Nixon who RUINED the dollar and the economy with leaving the gold standard (Stein’s idea I’m sure) and the dumbest of all - wage and price “controls”.
