| In its 65-year history, the Defense Department has been led by people of various political stripes. But never has the nomination of any Secretary of Defense been a direct insult to the men and women who served our nation in uniform. That will no longer be true if, as is rumored, President Obama nominates Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to succeed Leon Panetta at the Pentagon. (Snip) What makes Kerry different, especially for defense, is that he built his entire political career on his anti-war activities, including his leadership of the radical Vietnam Veterans Against the War.

In my America of the past Kerry would have been in Levenworth for the last 40 years.

Appointing Kerry (he served in Vietnam, you know), even if not confirmed, would be akin to obama sticking his finger in the eye of all current and past members of the military.

But, but, even though he spent a grand total of about six weeks there, (during his THREE tours) John Karry was "awarded" THREE Purple Hearts for his owies in Vietnam! When he got the nomination in 2004, his "salute" and "Reporting for Duty" was enough to gag any past, present, or future member of the Military! He is a disgrace and if he IS nominated by the obamination, he just may get the publicity he has always sought...

President Zero will distract everyone by nominating kerry for defense, and susan rice for State. It´s the sort of thing that President Zero does. While the media fixate on Paula Broadwell and Linda Kelley, people forget about the four dead Americans.

If ever nominated, Kerry must submit ALL of his army records, discharge papers, etc. for review before any discussion of him is begun. That´ll assure us all that he´ll go away. The truth would be too painful for this phony.

Zippy will nominate Kerry for two reasons. First, he will nominate him because he hates the military and enjoys doing anything he can to harm it´s effectiveness. Second, he will nominate him because that will be yet another distraction from the Bengazi scandal and it will be supported by the traitorous media. Face it folks, our once great Republic is doomed. 51% of voters are more concerned about getting free stuff than they are for the welfare of the country. They are willing to put traitors (Kerry), fools (Biden) and Marxists (Guess Who) into office to perpetuate their stripping of the economy. And all we have to put against them are useless career politicians like Bohener who are more concerned with getting along with Democrats than securing the survival of the U.S.

#11 has it. FTA: "There is a bond of trust that has to exist between every president and every soldier, sailor, airman and Marine. If Obama nominates Kerry to be the next Secretary of Defense, that bond will have been broken." And that is _exactly_ why Obama will nominate him.

This phony hero colluded with the North Vietnamese in Paris when he was a serving commissioned officer in an effort to help us lose the Vietnam War.
A hanging offense, treason.

There is every reason to believe he left the navy with an undesirable discharge and revocation of his medals which were restored under dubious methods and for political reasons when he became a senator. As a senator he led Lefty forces against Star Wars missile defense which economically broke the Soviet Union and was the precursor of Israel´s Iron Dome.
Do we want this incompetent near-traitor to replace the civil rights lawyer we have as Sec. of Defense now? Not a chance. As bad as Panetta has been, we don´t need worse either as Sec. of Defense or as Sec. of State. How about some meaningless job like U.N. ambassador if he wants to further his father´s diplomatic nothingness?

Does anyone really expect anything different from Obama? This guy is a CLOWARD-PIVEN addict and stern believer in doing whatever it takes to destroy this country. His anti constitution stand is a classic in his own words. He degrades the Christian religion and openly promotes the Muslim faith, he is against capitalism which once made this country great, promotes illigal immigration and fosters their support, crammed Obamacare down our throats, encourages the draining of our treasury with handouts to all those who will not work, plots against the second ammendment, lies brazenly to the citizens of this country, fosters cover ups and now wants to destroy our military more than to the point of defunding it´s support with drastic budget cuts and now threatens with a Secretary of Defense that´s totally ANTI-MILITARY! That should increase recruiting... Already this administration ignored our military voters twice now in presidential elections and ommited their votes. Don´t put it past Kerry to appoint Jane Fonda as his deputy...the non-taxpayers, freebie cell phone and handout type getters, Democrats, brainless racist voters, don´t care type moochers and the media have contributed greatly to the screaming downward spiral of this once great country. Where to begin to sort this mess out...

ATTENTION all hands: John Fitzgerald Kerry served in Vietnam. Of course he has never signed his SF 198, so we can´t see his records. We do know he was awarded the Silver Star with V for Valor THREE TIMES. He was given this award for the heroic act of shooting an unarmed teenager in the back. Whoo! What a HERO! And he got THREE Purple Hearts. One of them for an injury roughly comparable to a paper cut.
Yessir.
And, by the way, his brother made millions in North Vietnam.
The citizens in MA have made themselves proud with John F´n Kerry and Ted "Sandwich" Kennedy. Corrupt, but proud.
Have you seen their new Senator? She has no idea what her job is.
Par for the course. Why not nominate a real war hero, like Jane Fonda?

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday said the House won't pick up the Senate immigration bill and pass it. "The House remains committed to fixing our broken immigration system, but we will not simply take up and accept the bill that is emerging in the Senate if it passes," said the statement from Boehner, his top three lieutenants and Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction on immigration. "The House remains committed to fixing our broken immigration system, but we will not simply take up and accept the bill that is emerging in the Senate if it passes," the statement said.

President Obama offers only weasel words to explain deaths in Libya and IRS abuses. He’s the master of verbal evasion. House Republicans need to replace debate with action to hold the president accountable on these issues. To get to the bottom of why four Americans died in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, House Republicans should issue a formal resolution demanding to know where the president was on the night September 11 and what role he played. Obama needs to be put on the hot seat. Benghazi- For eight months, the White House has maneuvered

Much has been written and said about the astoundingly tone deaf performance of White House spokesman Jay Carney during this past month of scandals. The former journalist has lost the confidence of the people who were once his colleagues due to his unwillingness to tell the truth about his own deceptive statements (never mind those he represents in front of the press) about the Benghazi talking points or even to acknowledge that he has changed his story. The same applies to the shifting story he has told about the Internal Revenue Service scandal

A nonprofit connected to Rep. Corrine Brown (D., Fla.) and run by a local political power player overbilled Medicaid by nearly $1.4 million, the Florida Times-Union reported. According to an audit by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, the Community Rehabilitation Center in Jacksonville overbilled Medicaid by nearly $1.4 million. Reggie Gaffney, a former Jacksonville Port Authority board member, runs the nonprofit, which provides medical services for mental illness, substance abuse, and HIV/AIDS for low-income residents.

Former Cambridge neighbors of a Russian mixed martial arts brawler shot dead by an FBI agent early yesterday in Florida — after ?being questioned about his ties to the marathon bombing and a Waltham triple murder — said he was nasty. Ibragim Todashev, 27, also hung around with slain marathon bombing mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26 — swilling beer and eating chicken on a stoop on Harding Street, they said. “I was the happiest person when they moved. ... It’s a little more peaceful since they left,” a neighbor told the Herald yesterday of the Russian buddies.

The 2012 election season was filled with angry cries of “voter suppression,” almost all of them regarding attempts by states to require voter ID and otherwise improve ballot integrity. Bill Clinton warned that “there has never been — in my lifetime, since we got rid of the poll tax and all the other Jim Crow burdens on voting — the determined effort to limit the franchise that we see today.” Democratic-party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said “photo-ID laws, we think, are very similar to a poll tax.” All of this proved to be twaddle.

The Justice Department’s secret seizure of phone records from The Associated Press and its monitoring of Fox News reporter James Rosen are nothing less than thuggish attempts to criminalize the practice of journalism — the only profession specifically protected by the US Constitution. Free and open inquiry is also the cornerstone of our democracy, a legacy of the Enlightenment that found its clearest expression in the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” By which the Founders specifically meant political speech. They understood that, even with the checks and balances

I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.
