Sitting Ducks: How Washington Left America Exposed

Democrats Blocked Security Funding. Americans Pay the Price.

The Last Wire

There’s a dangerous disconnect unfolding right now.

We are facing real threats abroad… while political obstruction at home delays the very funding meant to protect us.

Recent incidents inside the United States are not hypotheticals. They are warnings.

The question is simple:

Who thought this was the moment to play politics with national security?

And what happens if we’re wrong?

The Dem Party has stepped up to be a Fifth Column for America's enemies.

"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview

From the article:


Quote
Or they can force accountability by restoring the talking filibuster.

Make those who block funding stand on the Senate floor and defend it. Hour after hour. In full view of the American people.

Let them explain why, at a moment of heightened global tension, they chose delay over readiness.

Let them justify leaving the country exposed.

If the stakes are as high as they claim, then the debate should be just as visible.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

Senate Democrats are gambling with American lives, so that they may score political points in advance of midterm elections.

This effort is disgusting and dangerous, and Republicans must loudly say so.

If and when a significant terror attack occurs, you must also know that Democrats will blame Republicans for not acceding to their demands, rather than accept blame themselves for needlessly tying the  government in knots, at the expense of national security.   
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge
