This is worse than most of you all at Free Republic even realize.

- Hagel was nominated by Obama for two main reasons:

1. Obama can hide behind a "Republican" while the Defense budget is eviscerated even further than the $487 Billion cut that began in 2011 and the now imminent $650 Billion in Sequestration

2. Hagel shares Obama's hatred for the Jewish people and Israel

Even worse, Republicans are now seriously considering giving Obama "special power" to execute Federal funding because the Republicans refuse to deal with the Sequestration mess that they agreed to.

Only a few Republicans realize the danger of giving Obama "extra, temporary power." This all reminds me of Germany during the 1930's.

The Republicans just handed Obama the knife the cut the Defense Department's throat, and now they are sharpening the knife even further.

Weep for American. We are in rapid, rapid decline.

I have never been so frightened for my country.
