Commending Carter and Hagel

(ABC News) Outgoing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel acknowledged Friday for the first time that some officials in the White House disagreed with his slow pace in releasing Guantanamo detainees. He explained he was cautious because he took “very seriously” his responsibility to certify the release of detainees to ensure they did not return to the battlefield. Full story at link. But remember, these Gitmo detainees were probably not terrorists according to the logic of Obama. ...

Rand Paul. He goes on the record as being concerned about Hagel's "ties" to Friends of Hamas. Don't senators have better sources of information available to them? ...

Now what will Obama do? Syria crossed the line that Obama drew. President Obama has said the verified use of chemical weapons by the regime would be a "red line" and a "game-changer" for U.S. and international military intervention in the Syrian civil war. Syria has been stockpiling chemical weapons and reports indicate it has sarin, tabun,along with mustard gas and hydrogen cyanide. A 2011 CIA report said Syria was also developing the potent nerve agent VX, which could render a city uninha ...

Lower down about the end-times/Christian Zionist theology powering the Neocons and trying to lead us into what they see ultimately as Armageddon. The entire article is at the link below. ...

"In case you haven’t heard, President Obama is considering appointing Chuck Hagel, a former United States senator from Nebraska and a Purple Heart winner, as the next secretary of defense — and this has triggered a minifirefight among Hagel critics and supporters. I am a Hagel supporter. I think he would make a fine secretary of defense — precisely because some of his views are not “mainstream.” "... because he has rather bluntly stated that his job as a U.S. sena ...

You know why Carter voted for Obama? So Carter wouldn't go down as the worst president in history. President Obama's tax return should list Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright as dependents. Q. Who should be listed as the most expensive dependent on your tax return? A. President Obama. ...

Jimmy Carter, who in my opinion is the most truly honest Christian and former president, endorsed Hillary Clinton for president: "I have known Hillary Clinton for decades. When she was a young attorney, I appointed her to the legal services corporation, where she became the first woman chair. There, Hillary fought to make sure that in our courts, those with the least were treated the same as those with the most. Since then, as you know, Hillary& ...

but Trump retains his businesses. ...

...Carter's unfavorable rating shot up just before the election and the "anti-establishment candidate" (Reagan) won in a landslide. Like now, the polls had been very close up until a few days before the election. ABC is reporting that Clinton's unfavorable rating shot up to new levels in the last 3 days, and to complete the analogy, Trump is obviously the anti-establishment candidate in this election. It's speculation, of course, but like Doug Schoen (the Democrat pollster ...

Remember the old conservative charge that many of the Democrats here in America were playing footsie with the Soviets? Some Republicans even said the Russians viewed the Democrats as their favorite party. Now bombshell revelations prove these accusations beyond a shadow of a doubt. Peter Schweizer, a Hoover Institution research fellow, has just written a new book, "Reagan's War: The Epic Story of His Forty-Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism." This book may well fo ...

While Trump’s executive action marks a significant shift in decades of U.S. immigration policies, it isn't the first time the U.S. has restricted immigration from specific countries. Pierce of the Migration Policy Institute pointed to three past instances -- the banning of Chinese immigration in the 1880s, national origin immigration quotas and restrictions in the 1920s, and a brief 1980 halt of new visas for Iranian immigrants. <snipped> Jimmy Carter Restricts Iranian I ...
