    Inhofe to fight the gutting of our military...

    Thank GOD we have one person left in our Government that will stand up against the libs trying to gut our military.....

    President Obama’s budget, the largest in the history of America, triples the public debt in 10 years, funding every welfare program imaginable, but cuts funding for our troops in the field during an ongoing war.

    Here in Afghanistan, while the war is intensifying and the number of US forces increases at the direction of President Obama, he undercuts those he sends into harm’s way. It is not just unbelievable…it is unconscionable.

    Only Congress can stop him from these draconian defense cuts. His budget is expanding the welfare state, gutting the defense modernization, and jeopardizing our national security - all while our troops are here fighting for us.

    Another great place to "porkulate" is in military & defense. If we the people are gonna spend like crazy to keep people employed, why not this sector?

    Since TOTUS is overseas apologizing for us all, he needs to show he means it I guess, and what better way to appease our enemies than to strip away our national defense.

    Besides, we all know ACORN needed the cash.

    The defense budget is increasing by 4% this year.

    ieta: More precisely, Obama has proposed a 4% increase.

    I don't think inhofe has time to do that, considering he's standing towards the front of the handout portion of the "porkulus" line.

    Excessive displays of Christianity, complaints about military spending, global warming, teleprompters, ACORN, appeasement, and "apology tour". Tuba has become a cliche of himself.

    Re: Inhofe to fight the gutting of our military...



    From The Washington Monthly:
    April 7, 2009

    INHOFE'S PAINFUL INANITY.... It's hardly surprising that members of Congress would be reluctant to accept Defense Secretary Robert Gates' efforts to restructure military spending. Gates' proposal is a rather dramatic effort at reform, and for lawmakers who've grown attached to Pentagon-related pork, the administration's proposal shakes up the status quo.

    But while some resistance was inevitable, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), a constant embarrassment to himself and the Senate, is once again breaking new grounds of indecency. Tuba loves you! Praise Jesus!

    In a YouTube video that is getting linked around the conservative blogosphere, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) attacked Defense Secretary Robert Gates' 2010 defense budget recommendations, though he aimed his criticism at President Obama instead of Gates. Speaking from Afghanistan, Inhofe declared that "President Obama is disarming America. Never before has a president so ravaged the military at a time of war."

    Specifically, Inhofe charges Obama with cutting funding for "our troops in the field during an ongoing war."

    In the video, Inhofe adds, "Here in Afghanistan, while the war is intensifying and the number of U.S. forces increases at the direction of President Obama, he undercuts those he sends into harm's way. It is not just unbelievable ... it is unconscionable."

    Of course, Inhofe is either lying or he's a fool. (It's so hard to tell.) Following the recommendations of its Republican defense secretary, the Obama administration is increasing military spending from $513 billion under Bush to $534 billion in 2010. Inhofe, who's never been accused of being the sharpest crayon in the box, is making a series of ridiculous war-related accusations that don't make any sense at all. "Disarming America"? "Ravaging the military at a time of war"? "Undercutting" the troops? Even by Inhofe standards, this is blisteringly stupid.

    The point of Gates' review is to make the defense budget more effective for the 21st century, divesting in projects and weapons systems that aren't needed, and directing those funds to better use. That's not "ravaging" the military; it's improving it. That's not cutting funding for "our troops in the field during an ongoing war"; it's actually more money for "troops and new technology to fight the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan."

    If Inhofe wants to defend unnecessary spending projects, fine, he can make his case. But this kind of rhetoric is absurd. He either believes this nonsense, in which case he should learn what he's talking about and apologize, or he's deliberately deceiving people, in which case he should set the record straight and apologize.

    Inhofe is such a dolt. Unbelievable.

    Tuba, I think we'd allow you a mulligan on this thread if you wanna just say, "my bad" we could have it locked and pretend you aren't this stupid.

    I also read that that son of a commie lovin' bitch Gates is not going to be building those $3,000,000,000 a piece navy destroyers. God knows we need more of those to fight that war in Afghanistan......which......is still land locked.

    Because we all know we'll never be in another war where those destroyers might come in handy.

    I guess Brack has promised to end all war.

    Pfft, the Navy doesn't even want em.

    And last July, when the Navy's top brass decided to end production of their newest class of destroyers -- in response to 15 classified intelligence reports highlighting their vulnerability to a range of foreign missiles -- seven Democratic senators quickly joined four Republicans to demand a reversal. They threatened to cut all funding for surface combat ships in 2009.

    Within a month, Gates and the Navy reversed course and endorsed production of a third DDG-1000 destroyer, at a cost of $2.7 billion.

    Fair enough, but having read that the Navy doesn't say they don't want more ships, they just want to spend that money on a different ship.

    Re: Inhofe to fight the gutting of our military...

    And it's no surprise Inhofe and Boren are objecting to this.

    The proposed defense budget -- proposed by Gates, by the way -- cuts budget from the FCS program.

    This is an artillery program.

    Based on this, would you care to take a guess as to which state -- and which Congressional districts within that state -- contain major military installations which benefit from the FCS?

    Yeah. Uh huh. Porkulus indeed.

    Hey, why not blow $3,000,000,000 on a might?

    Sounds good!
