You writing about the character destruction of Hagel by AIPAC and its pawn Cruz?
Damn those Jooooooooooos amirite? I mean, not wanting to confirm Hagel has nothing to do with Hagel saying, point blank, that he doesn't know enough about DoD programs and technologies. It has nothing to do with his interview on Al Jazeera where he says with the interviewer had a "good point" when the US was called the worlds bully. Clearly this man is fit to be Secretary of Defense and the only reason he isn't is because of those damned Joooooooooooooooooooos

You saw the video that Cruz posted where he cut off the answer?

Yes, it woudl take a lot of arrogance to claim he knows everything about DOD before he takes the job, I suppose aholes like you would have no learning curve.

This man would be confirmed easily, you racist twit, if it weren't for AIPAC and wanting a Zionist Sec of Defense, one queer on israel.

Just because you claim to have understood his riddle doesn't mean that he explained himself clearly. Furthermore, when someone on this board misunderstands one of my post, I elaborate until they do understand it, since my aim is to communicate, not tell inside jokes,
You think my post was a riddle or inside joke? My point was incredibly simple. Not all war veterans are patriots. I am amazed a liberal like yourself needs this explained to them.

Democrats said the issue is no longer Mr. Bolton, but an institutional fight with the administration over access to names from foreign communications intercepts, which Democrats want to see to determine whether Mr. Bolton was trying to bully analysts. Democrats said that as long as the information and materials on a speech on Syria’s weapons program are not provided, they will block Mr. Bolton.
LINK Hmmmm seems oddly familiar.........

Lies, lies, lies. I see you've bought the Cruz propaganda hook, libe and sinker. Cruz has the class and integrity of a carnival barker which is all right if you're a radio talk show host or one of the talking heads on FOX or MSNBC. The problem is that he's a member of the U.S. Senate, not a talk show host. Compare him to Al Franken who was your typical left wing hack when he was earning a living as a comedian and a radio talk show host, but has the common sense and decency to know that that sort of hackish behavior is inappropriate for a U.S. Senator.

If you consider a public speech comparable to misuse of access to names from foreign communications intercepts. I suppose in some superficial way.

Now I see why I didn't get it. You evidently define patriotism in a such way that precludes a person from criticizing his/her government, but IMO, exposing uncomfortable truths about our government is one of the highest forms of patriotism. Furthermore, anyone who whitewashes or covers up these uncomfortable truths is no patriot at all, because as the saying goes, "sunshine is the best disinfectant".

Not really. It sounds like Democrats were asking for information that's relevant to Bolton. As far as I'm concerned, Bolton disqualified himself from being any type ofambassador with this video: LINK

I only responded to your words. Is English your second language or you a short-busser?

You seriously could not understand my point? Stop thinking about Jews for a minute and reread my posts. Or maybe have a 5 year old read it to you. Later, I might give you a riddle.

All you've done is demostrate a total lack of understanding of the issues, but unfortunately, rather than make an honest effort to improve your understanding, you've resorted to ad hominem personal attacks. Perhaps if you would use what little brain power you have for honest debate of the issues instead of personalizing it, you would be a lot better at this.

A simple question for a simple mind: are all war veterans patriots?

Of ocurse not. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of world and American history knows that no nation is immune from treason, even from within its own military.

That is what I fricking said in the first place in response to a post claiming Hagel's patriotism shouldn't be questioned simply because he is a veteran.

Did anyone find it odd that the article at the American Conservative referenced the article at the Daily Caller and the article at the Daily Caller referenced the article at the American Conservative? American Conservative Daily Caller Just odd.

The decision to vote with his party to block Hagel is part of a pattern of bad calls that Sen. Paul has made in recent months, and in each of these he has ended up siding with people who hate restraint and prudence in foreign policy and who also hate Hagel because he represented some measure of both.
A euphemism for Anti-Semites?

stupid and hysterical heart of the tea party
TEA party members are neither stupid nor hysterical. But, they definitely are mad as hell and not willing to take it anymore. And I for one support their objectives. I'm tired of being taxed to pay for the poor life choices of others. I'm tired of federal agencies run amok issuing a never ending stream of economically disastrous regulations. And I'm damn sure tired of an imperial president using executive order to by-pass the legislature.

Damn right. I'd vote for a Jewish Darth Vader if he'd take it to the Dems. Fire with fire.
