Hat-tip to Txrangerette!
I’ll buy that.
Hat-tip to Txrangerette!
AND "cutepuppy!"
Bumped to you!
Truth!
“He (Gingrich) said that because the Obama administration was unwilling to acknowledge the threat from radical Islamists it was displaying “willful dishonesty” in its account of what motivated the suspected terrorist from Morocco, who was arrested on Friday by FBI agents for allegedly plotting a suicide bomb attack on the Capitol...
...Gingrich was possibly criticizing the statement by a U.S. attorney assigned to the case that said the Moroccan man “allegedly believed he was working with al-Qaeda.” In Gingrich’s view, such statement reflects an unwillingness in the Obama administration to say exactly what motivated the Moroccan because, according to Gingrich, under the Obama administration, it would be “highly inappropriate to describe what motivated (him) because that would somehow be politically incorrect.””
More like, “because that would somehow be detrimental to Al Qaeda”.
“Most dangerous president in American history.”
At the 34:00 part of his speech (just prior to taking questions).
And the Nigerian who put this column together from news reports, knows it’s true.
Newt mentions Nigerian Christians being murdered in the segment about national security starting at 34:00 of the LINK in Post #1.
Newt is 100% correct.
Obama is a threat to National Security.
We cannot exist for another 4 years under this arrogant, ignorant,Marxist.
While you were out of pocket yesterday, this story on Newt’s speech was posted, but I believe the source and the headline was a bit different. In fact it was posted in slightly different form by two different FReepers. Not complaining, mind you...it can’t get too much publicity.
On another thread, it was noted that Santorum spent the past few days talking about...well, we know what types of topics he was mainly speaking on, so I won’t belabor the point here.
Meanwhile, this Newt speech is so true and on point.
Only the overlay of Bush-Cheney national security policies through these Obama years have helped stave off disaster.
But time is running out.
Newt is the best leader we have among those still running, hands down.
“Dugan also plans to streamline the number of projects the agency pursues; in fiscal 2011, DARPA oversaw 230 separate R&D programs. For 2013, that figure would drop by more than a quarter, to 169, the article says, adding that instead the agency plans to spend $50 million to push the envelope on hypersonics, the ability to race through the air at five times the speed of sound or more.”

The ‘people’ numbers may stay, but ‘that’s all.’
And that’s all I am going to say about that.
If Obama is a national security threat, we have two other branches of government to prosecute that threat.
Newt is right
however, where was he in 2008, when Uriah Heep McCain the putative head of the GOP was sniveling and groveling to the press because he thought they liked him, and telling us, “my friends”, that obama was a swell guy
Obama and his “science and technology” czar (John. P. Holdren — co-author of, “Population Bomb”) are dismantling our defenses and our technology pool — while transferring that budget to his supporters and crippling national programs.
....DARPA
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency dodges a (high-tech) bullet. As Smart Planet points out, it loses a very modest $1.4 million from its nearly $3 billion budget. But some individual projects are losing out: “Machine intelligence” is losing funding, while an unnamed “classified” project is being cut down to $3 million from $107 million. (Oh, to know what is going on with that endeavor.) A new $50 million priority for DARPA is hypersonics, which would allow for travel at more than five times the speed of sound. A plane that takes off and lands vertically and a “counter-laser technologies program” also receive more funds, according to Aviation Week.
Clean Energy
Obama hopes for $325 million to go to DARPA’s Department of Energy cousin, E-ARPA.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
The Pentagon budget released a couple of weeks ago contains some good news, some bad for UAVs, better known as drones. The Global Hawk surveillance drone from Northrop Grunman, which was designed to fly at 60,000 feet, has been canceled. But other cuts to the military—including a plan to reduced the number of troops by as many as 100,000—means that there will be more reliance on drones than ever before. In addition to surveillance and fighter UAVs, “sea-based unmanned systems” will be funded, too. For one thing, as Marketplace points out, drones are cheaper to build than fighter planes.”....
There are a few speeches in my lifetime that a phrase from which will never be forgotten. One is Lyndon B. Johnson saying “I will take from the haves and give to the have-nots”.
Another phrase is when Barack Hussein Obama’s oponent Juan McLaim said to a lady in the audience “oh you have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency!!!”. THAT my dear is the day that the GOP LOST that election.
Don’t EVER forget what McCain did to this country. The GOP IS part of this problem. It’s up to us to solve this mess.
"Across the planet today, the forces of religious repression are on the march and this administration has intellectually disarmed, it has morally disarmed, it is incapable of describing what threatens us."
Let the games begin! Start packin' your stuff Hussein. It's over! You, truly, are unelectable!
“crippling national programs”
