Pentagon budget to cut military, cancel programs

Great news. Hopefully they won't screw it up.

Step one in the remaking the US into the Europe model, that Obama and the Dems are so in love with.

You oppose cutting the deficit then? Sound economic policy?

How much more would you recommend we borrow from China like we did under G.W to build more air craft carriers and weapons systems that don't work oh unbiased guru of all things Republican?

BTW love the choices you guys paraded out for over a year for the March of the Insane Clown Posse.

Now what do you have left. A guy from Pittsburgh obsessed with gay sex, a guy who helped support Star wars and now wants to say open marriages are more moral than a blow job or SSM, and a guy who ran the Olympics during one of it's biggest scandals for bribery.

Oh yeah great choices from the morality folks!

LMAO

Well stated! Their issues are nonsense crap that doesn't help with jobs and fixing the economy. The GOP has been nothing but a group of meltdowns and trash talk. They want tax reform so their millionaire buddies and themselves don't pay more taxes.

The War Hawks in Congress are responding to their Financial Arm in the Lobbyist wing this morning. They are stoking the fire to keep the Contracts and Subsidy pipeline open to the Defense Contractors. For the next week all you are going to hear is about Israel's security and using all options to bring Iran into the fold of compliance.

The Military is over taxed and bloated beyond any effective purpose. Iran even with a weapon poses no immediate threat to America.

Israel is occupying lands not belonging to them and are in violation of World Laws against land seizures. The lands Israel are occupying should have remained a buffer zone much like the zone that separates North Korea from South Korea. What Israel is doing is akin to America building settlements in the DMZ Zone between North Korea and South Korea.

Israel in other words is doing no less to the Palestine people that were settled on those lands than what America did to the Native Americans to settle the west. Those practices were outlawed by the world community at the end of WWII

Cut the deficit? easy....give welfare recipients 90 days notice that it ends in 90 days...get a job or move in with somebody, or leave. At the same time, cut govt civil service workers by 2/3rds...it currently takes 3 of them to do the work of 1 real person, and third, cut taxes on rich people, they are the only ones paying taxes, they need a break.

From 1988 to 1993, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences sponsored an interdisciplinary study known as The Fundamentalism Project, the largest such study ever done. More than 100 scholars from all over the world took part, reporting on every imaginable kind of fundamentalism. And what they discovered was that the agenda of all fundamentalist movements in the world is virtually identical, regardless of religion or culture.
They identified five characteristics shared by virtually all fundamentalisms.
The fundamentalists' agenda starts with insistence that their rules must be made to apply to all people, and to all areas of life. There can be no separation of church and state, or of public and private areas of life. The rigid rules of God—and they never doubt that they and only they have got these right—must become the law of the land. Pat Robertson, again, has said that just as Supreme Court justices place a hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution, so they should also place a hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible. In Khomeini's Iran, and in the recent Taliban rule of Afghanistan, we saw how brutal and bloody this looks in real time.
The second agenda item is really at the top of the list, and it's vulgarly simple: Men are on top. Men are bigger and stronger, and they rule not only through physical strength but also and more importantly through their influence on the laws and rules of the land. Men set the boundaries. Men define the norms, and men enforce them. They also define women, and they define them through narrowly conceived biological functions. Women are to be supportive wives, mothers, and homemakers.
A third item follows from the others.(Indeed each part of the fundamentalist agenda is necessarily interlocked, and needs every other part to survive.) Since there is only one right picture of the world, one right set of beliefs, and one right set of roles for men, women, and children, it is imperative that this picture and these rules be communicated precisely to the next generation. Therefore, fundamentalists must control education by controlling textbooks and teaching styles, deciding what may and may not be taught.
Fourth, fundamentalists spurn the modern, and want to return to a nostalgic vision of a golden age that never really existed. Several of the scholars observed a strong and deep resemblance between fundamentalism and fascism. Both have almost identical agendas. Men are on top, women are subservient, there is one rigid set of rules, with police and military might to enforce them, and education is tightly controlled by the state. One scholar suggested that it's helpful to understand fundamentalism as religious fascism, and fascism as political fundamentalism. The phrase “overcoming the modern” is a fascist slogan dating back to at least 1941.
The fifth point is the most abstract, though it's foundational. Fundamentalists deny history in a radical and idiosyncratic way. Fundamentalists know as well or better than anybody that culture shapes everything it touches: The times we live in color how we think, what we value, and the kind of people we become. Fundamentalists agree on the perverseness of modern American society: the air of permissiveness and narcissism, individual rights unbalanced by responsibilities, sex divorced from commitment, and so on. What they don't want to see is the way culture colored the era when their scriptures were created.

I notice you leave out cutting from the top.

Recently the City Commissioners of Hollywood Florida voted themselves and the mayor a 10% pay cut to save some police, fire and rescue jobs. Haven't seen that from any Republican controlled body in my 54 years on this earth.

I notice you never post sensible solutions like that.

Instead you jump whole hog into the spoon fed Fox News class warfare BS.

Obama Uses Same Lines from 2010, 2011...

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how folks like you immediately jump on the spoon fed “FoxNews Republican corporate welfare bash the entitlement bandwagon.”
FYI I’m living off a disability inusrance program I’ve been paying into since I was 14 years old. But I guess folks like you prefer an America that renigs on it’s debts. That’s why you dislike being reminded of GW’s TWO bailouts that FAILED to stop the economic meltdown, but SLBBERR and nearly pee your pants bashing the one timeObama did the same damn thing!
You are all for corporations and the rich using the system and taking what is legally entiled by them but SCREAM bloody muder if you find someone living off a monthly income of $963.00.

And you DARE try to talk of morality when your three viable candidates are focused on men having anal sex, commintted marriages vs. a blow job in the White House, and a guy who was leading the Olympics during it’s biggest scandal of bribery?

Truly I am ROFLMAO!

You and 'Inbred Genius" really are funnier than Arlen Spector! Possibly even Al Franken!
Perhaps you should consider a carreer change!

Obama praises spec ops for hostage rescue

WASHINGTON —“Good job tonight,” President Obama told his Defense chief as he arrived for his annual State of the Union message.

Unknown to a global television audience watching the speech moments later, a bold hostage rescue operation had played out half a world away with an elite Navy SEAL team’s rescue of two hostages in Somalia, one of them an American. It was the same SEAL unit that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, a U.S. official said Wednesday.

Publicly, Obama did not tip his hand during his speech, though microphones picked up his congratulation to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta as he entered the House chamber Tuesday night. Obama pointed his index finger to Panetta and said,“Good job tonight. Good job.” Panetta smiled broadly.

Unknown to those watching the speech, Obama had learned shortly before that the operation to rescue American aid worker Jessica Buchanan and another hostage had been successful. Immediately after the speech, Obama returned to the White House to inform Buchanan’s father that she was safe and “on her way home,” according to a White House statement.

This is impressive any way you fall on the debate over Obama. Congratulations are in order to the Commander in Chief.

my thanks.
My baby bro was a Navy CB. He usually got called up even before any other units. So I think you can appreciate what me and his wife endured over the years.

A call in the night, bags packed in under 36 hours and never knowing for days what was happening where he was going or how bad it could get.

Yeah, cutting from the top is good too....I can't think of everything, I rely on experts like you to help me. What does DNF stand for? Did Not Finish? What, was middle school just too hard?

Just kidding, you libs are so much fun to stir up....Newt owns you guys, like Sarah Palin used to.

Obama lecturing about deficits is like Kim Kardashian lecturing about marriage!

These are great cuts and more is needed. More cuts in the defense and military budgets are still needed. They should be cut to minimums. Close bases allover the world and stop the waste and fraud.
