Is Your Congressman or Senator a ‘National Security Failure’?
Oct 28th 2010
The Center just released its ninth National Security Scorecard for the 111th Congress, 2009-2010, and identified several “Champions of National Security” – legislators who voted 100% with the Center’s positions on all votes for which they were present. Members of both chambers were graded on a wide range of national security issues voted on in Congress the past two years, including Gitmo, Afghanistan, border security, the Iranian nuclear program, and more.
But who are the worst offenders in Congress when it comes to national security? Here’s a list of “national security failures” – legislators who scored a total of less than 25%, based on all scored
votes for which they were present. The Center’s findings indicate 149 Members of the House of Representatives and 46 Senators are national security failures based on their voting record in the 111th Congress.

Probably because they've made it clear national security "isn't a problem" so far as they're concerned.

What I want to know is why the law abiding part of our government hasn't gotten off its big ass and brought the obvious charges against Soetoro. He is a cancer to our country and what do we do??? We sit on our hands and do nothing. Honduras knew what to do to an unconstitutional administration to get them removed. Why are we so stupid to think that a few blacks demonstrating is reason enough for us to help usher in these communists in Washington.
It isnt a question to which there are no answers!!! Since the founding of our republic, the original founders have warned us that we need to fight to keep our country. And what do we do? Sit by, playing with ourselves, and not even addressing the criminal activities of Soetoro and his gorilla wife, the communists in the cabinet and the marxist democraps. Since the beginning, they, the idiot democraps have tried to destroy our god given rights by introducing the most brazen and perverted behavior to our children as THE WAY.
Soetoro and all his associates need to die horribly and we must replace them with patriots, not with communist sympathizers. Soetoro isnt even a citizen, no kind of citizen of this country. He was voted in by the democraps who are all ready to steal our riches and give them to the bums. They hate this country! I don't know why. They have made all their money in a capitalist system and then bitch about it. I told you they are stupid. Along with that, they are all evil and everything they believe is wrong!!!

While nine of the ones from my district in AZ actually made the "failure" list, neither is a single one of them a success! They snub us at every turning and go right on doing what they choose, ignoring our voices completely. I'm sure NOT being represented in Congress at this time!

Terry Jones to Burn Qurans on 9/11
The Rev. Terry Jones is planning to burn 2,998 Qurans on Sept. 11 in Tampa, though the exact location of the event has not been announced.
But on Jones’ Facebook page, Google Maps directs attendees to an exact location in West Tampa.
The directions are very specific. Motorists are told to exit the interstate and get onto East Floribraska Avenue. Eventually, drivers are told to “turn right onto North Ola Avenue, and then immediately turn left onto West Street.”
The directions say to [...]
