Suddenly one moment, women were eligible for combat duty at the front line: no congressional vote, no national bipartisan panel with white papers of pros and cons, no in-depth Pentagon study, no national dialogue. There was an executive order — and that was that.  Get over it.

When did the idea of citizenship largely disappear? There is now little argument over the nomenclature of “illegal alien,” “undocumented worker,” or “unregistered resident.” About three or four years ago, all those rubrics simply became irrelevant.

... In or around 2010, these rubrics finally disappeared, buried under the rhetoric of “nativist,” “racist,” “the borders crossed us,” and the reality of the new demography and emerging Democratic constituencies. Try to deport an illegal alien with a felony conviction and instead six hours later on television we will see helpless dependent children cast adrift by the nativists. Eleven to fifteen million foreign nationals, and ten or fifteen million of their American citizen offspring, represent voters that have made the immigration-debate rhetoric and policy superfluous, a revolutionary fact that most have napped through.

not the word I would use to describe this world, nope, nightmarish and tyranny would suffice though, anybody thinking we live in a republic anymore needs to be slapped.

Most idiotic statement from party hack Panetta:

"Having women in combat will strengthen the military."

. . . because he said so.

Un. Freakin. Believable.
The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living
are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.

The only battles he has he loses - fitting his fat ass into his trousers and keeping his skivvies clean!

Here we go.

California Rep. Loretta Sanchez, a Democratic member of the Armed Services Committee and founder of the Women in the Military Caucus, said last week during a subcommittee hearing that she is concerned that women — now that they can serve in combat — will be encumbered by ill-fitting body armor designed for men.

Maybe she can send out some more randy Christmas cards asking for donations to design some new FemArmor.

This isn't Hollywood, no Wonderwoman costumes in combat, idiot!
