The New York Times’ David Brooks opined that the nomination of Chuck Hagel to the position of Secretary of Defense (SOD) is in fact a cover for Barack Obama’s dismantling of the Military. The President must raid the Medicare and Pentagon budgets to pay for the domestic programs planned for his welfare state. By placing a like-minded traveler like Hagel in the top position at the Pentagon, Obama will have a yes man to dismantle the military and further the One’s socialist agenda. Since Hagel is a Republican (in name only) Obama will have the perfect political cover to raid the defense budget and give it to the low information voters who will blindly help Democrats destroy this nation.
Global Zero
Global Zero is an international movement demanding the elimination of all nuclear weapons. Sen. Hagel co-authored a report last May calling for severe cuts in the U.S, nuclear arsenal. As the Obama administration is planning to announce even more drastic cuts to the arsenal later this year, who could possibly be better suited than Hagel to be Obama’s SOD? The administration will gladly point to this report as a good plan to dismantle America’s most powerful deterrent force. No wonder Iran has endorsed Hagel. He’s their guy! Who else will work to disarm the United States while the Iranians are stepping up their own program! Hagel obviously has no problem with a terrorist nation with nukes. No wonder Obama likes this guy; he calls for the elimination of ICBMs and heavy bombers for the nuclear arsenal. Those cuts would provide more money for Obama’s friends in the Green Energy/DNC money laundering business.
Balance
To be fair, Hagel is the first former enlisted man to have served on the front line and been nominated to the position of Secretary of Defense. Perhaps that would explain his isolationist stance of pulling troops from forward, deployed locations in Europe and Asia Pacific regions. However, there is no excuse for agreeing with a caller on al Jazeera that America is a bully. Hagel apparently sees the military from a private’s point of view. Unfortunately, the SOD must understand the big picture! Hagel may well be out of place, just like the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

One cannot deny that the acceptance of our nation’s Constitution and the Bill of Rights were two very righteous attempts to organize the needs of te colonials and manage their affairs at that particular time in American history. Organization and stablility were needed.
These new instruments of PROGRESSION compimented the INTELLIGENCE of the people and dispelled to a great degree the dissatisfaction prevalent in the colonies. Both ‘attacks’ against domination were untried achievements and new to human nature. But they offered imagination and gave the people of the 13 colonies HOPE to respect and enjoy optimism, complete with the absence of totalitarianism. – (HANK HOKAMP’S – “Never A Toadstool”
I see the word-”WERE”, was the writer saying that those perceptions are NOW obsolete? If so, I beg to differ. The Constitution WAS MORE than just a historical document, it WAS a Blueprint for a young Country. It IS a SHINING reminder that our Founding Fathers were men of GREAT Foresight, and understood that no matter HOW comprehensive the document was- there would be New Challenges occuring at intervals, and they ADDRESSED those contingencies in BROAD words which only strengthens the TRUE PATRIOT’S desire to protect them. If we were to form a NEW Nation, I daresay-we have NO ONE who could draft a BETTER guideline for insuring the domestic tranquility of such a diverse Nation as we have become.
President Obama is a Dictator and has already dismantled America and it will get worse
patti’s notes: yes, he is a extreme radical communist dictator and unless, inpeached or treasoned, will do real harm to this country. he was raised up with communist parents, relatives and lived in communist countries. while at college, took communist classes. he doesn’t and don’t want to understand,why our fore fathers came to america for. it’s his way or no way. i say, it’s our way to inpeach or treason him !!!!!! pl,orl,fla
I said that before AND during the election…sigh-You are RIGHT !!!
Never mind, I clicked on this because I saw the Chuck Hagel and the (SOD) in parentheses, I thought it said “(SOB)”.
Obama does not like the Military… mainly cause he was too much of a coward to join up when he could have… or cause he was not a citizen of this country… but even if he were a citizen, he wouldnt have joined anyway.. That requires WORK and RESPECT to those in command and Obama is not about to take orders from ANYONE!! He would be the first one who went AWOL if he were in the Military….
