No link, and an apostrophe error in the title.

Other than that it was a great post.

Seems like every day we find new ways that China is screwing us. Meanwhile, Russia watches us let it happen and becomes more belligerent.

Guess who’s funding this military buildup? If you said the citizens of the United States you’d be right !!!

This is great to see! Depending on the shuffling of the cards, China could quite easily become threat #1 to the United States. They’re heading in that direction, and it’s good to see Hunter out front, and being recognized internationally as well!

Interesting. I wonder about his data. Usually what you read in the military journals is that China lacks air transport, amphibious capability etc. The only exception is Africa, where China has begun to garrison entire entire brigades (e.g. Sudan, to protect its oil interests), and has sent numerous advisors etc.

>Interesting. I wonder about his data.<

Being the ranking member on the Armed Services Committee no doubt provides Rep. Hunter all the data he needs, I would think.

Unfortunately, President Clinton provided China with much of our technology which would have been better left in our own files, rather than enhance China’s weaponry. But then, shucks, he needed the money.

BARNES: Well, did you think the of the Republican or Democratic presidential candidates have taken up the China issue seriously?

KONDRACKE: I don’t see anybody talking about it. Now, one last picture. Here is, in celebration of our program, me on a yak. And, Fred, I have a present for you.

How’s that for serious journalism? “Nobody cares so here’s a picture of me on a yak.”

China has been slowly but steadily increasing its power-projection capabilities—especially with recent increases in economic resources.

As usual, Duncan Hunter is on top of the issue. He needs to be the next CIC.

He’s the only one on the issue. No one else cares about the threat of China, so lets make sure that Hunter gets elected!

If any of you just watched Rep. Duncan Hunter live on CNN, you are as pleased as I am that he stood tall and regal once again! Though Blitzer insisted on throwing in his little fire crackers, Rep. Hunter did not flinch once, but graciously stayed focused on his negative take on the current immigration bill like the true statesman he is! The man is incredible!

FEC reporting is June 30, so please, if you lean at all toward Duncan Hunter, send him what you can. Let’s get him into the top tier! Send him more than you can! :o)

I’m sending him another $150.00 tomorrow. If you’d prefer sending him a tangible check, mail it to:

9340 Fuerte Suite 302, La Mesa, CA 91941-4164

Thank you all, and HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

This is not news. Maybe that Hunter makes it an issue is news of a sort, but China has been modernizing for two decades.

Our problems with China are escalating daily, and Rep. Hunter seems to be the only candidate addressing concerns on her growing threat to our country.

Go outside and prune or feed your rose bushes. Take a deep breath and focus on God’s beautiful creation this Sunday morning. And have a wonderful Father’s Day now, if you are a father, and in future if you ever become one. :)

I like Hunter. He is the only serious candidate I can see at this time and I hope he is still in the running fall ‘08. I have to trim my rosebushes just so I can walk around the yard: they grow like they own the place.

I just wrote a check, and thought how he and his family fought for our country as I pasted the American flag on my stationary to him.

“.. a Vietnam veteran who served in the 173rd Airborne and 75th Army Rangers. I’ve been to Iraq five times, have a son who served two tours of duty in Iraq as a Marine, and Chaired of the House Armed Services Committee. So, I know what it will take to lead the country to victory in the war on terror.”

http://www.gopbloggers.org/mt/archives/004795.php

And Duncan Hunter won a medal in Viet Nam, his dad served in WWII, and his son did two tours in Iraq, including Fallujah, and is headed pretty soon to do a third tour in Afghanistan, and I am praying for his son each day, as well as our other military personnel.

Dear Sun — Thank you so much for your contribution to the Duncan Hunter campaign. I decided to increase my donation of tomorrow to $500.00, and consider it money very well spent for my country. Thank you, too, for the link above. God bless you. :o)
