So apparently Obama either changed his mind, or Fox screwed up the original reporting. Either way, it looks like The One has decided to give the Pentagon an eight percent increase rather than decrease. If it was Fox’s mistake then they should apologize and one-up all the B.S. antics pulled by CNN, NBC, CBS and the rest for the last eight years by actually issuing a deserved apology.
If this manages to get through Congress, it will be a rare piece of good news.
This is a letter I sent to Senator Jon Kyl in response to his vote of “YEA” on the nomination of Eric Holder to the office of Attorney General.
Senator Kyl,
Let me preface my letter by stating that I have been a strong supporter of yours for many years, and I have almost never been disappointed. I have the utmost respect for you and what you have done in the Senate, and it makes me very proud to be able to say I have a representative I can trust.
Unfortunately, that is what makes this so painful to write. I see that you voted yea to the nomination of Eric Holder, which is something I had hoped I could count on you to not do. Mr. Holder’s history is shameful, and his behavior under the Clinton administration only serves to reinforce the fact that he is not, and has never been, the right man for the job of Attorney General. In addition to using his power to halt the investigations of the travesty at Waco, his role in the Elian Gonzales fiasco, his role in the pardons of the FALN terrorists and Mark Rich show him to be corrupt, and not someone to be trusted with the position of power he has now been given. I am disappointed that you chose to vote in favor of giving him this power, and would ask that in representing me and the rest of this great state that you return to your habit of voting against corruption and big government as you so often have in the past.
While it is too late to undo this vote, it is not too late to keep up the good fight going forward. These are times when conservatives have little to be hopeful for in Washington, and I can only hope and pray that you continue to be one of those people who we can rely on.
Thank you, and best wishes going forward. You are in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Dan G.
Is this just incompetence, or is it outright treason? Sometimes it’s hard to tell anymore.
The Obama administration has asked the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff to cut the Pentagon’s budget request for the fiscal year 2010 by more than 10 percent — about $55 billion — a senior U.S. defense official tells FOX News.
In a time of war, our new president has decided that it’d be a good idea to give $314 billion dollars to Democrat special interest groups and constituents, and then slash the budget for national defense – including severely scaling back funding for ballistic missile defense, when we have nations full of radicalist nutjobs like Iran and North Korea getting their hands on nukes.
Let me repeat: in a time of war, he is cutting the legs out from under our troops, and deliberately hampering our efforts to establish a secure defense.
That’s insanity, borderlining on malicious intent. There is no shred of responsibility in the plan he is proposing, and the very idea that it’s being taken seriously is an affront to common sense. The idea that Barack Hussein Obama is the one in charge of this, the one pushing it and applauding it while his throng of sycophantic doe-eyed worshippers cheer on his every move is disgusting.
Call your senator, call your representative. And if you’re not fortunate enough to have a representative in this sham of a government who can understand simple concepts like “don’t sabotage our military,” then start telling your friends, family, co-workers, whoever you can find what kind of madness is going on in our nation’s capital. If enough people know and care that our president is working to kneecap us, then maybe – just maybe – we can do something about it.
Hey, maybe he could be our first black president to get impeached.
First Firefly, then Rome, now this:
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) – Gov. Rod Blagojevich was convicted at his impeachment trial and thrown out of office Thursday, ending a nearly two-month crisis that erupted with his arrest on charges he tried to sell Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat. Blagojevich becomes the first U.S. governor in more than 20 years to be removed by impeachment.
After a four-day trial, the Illinois Senate voted 59-0 to convict him on the broad charge of abuse of power.
Well now what am I going to watch? Certainly not American Idol… and I have all that popcorn left…
Blackfive just debunked this fresh “news story” going around:
Defense Robert Gates is extremely frustrated with orders that the White House is contemplating. According to sources at the Pentagon, including all branches of the armed forces, the Obama Administration may break with a centuries-old tradition.
A spokesman for General James Cartwright, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, states that the Obama Administration wants to have soldiers and officers pledge a loyalty oath directly to the office of the President, and no longer to the Constitution.
That’s right, debunked. Not even Obama is that crazy. I hope. So don’t be spreading this one any more than it already has, mmk?
