Obama Calling for Defense Budget Cuts

Last Friday, Fox News reported that the “Obama administration has asked the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff to cut the Pentagon’s budget request for the fiscal year 2010 by more than 10 percent — about $55 billion…”

Before that, President Obama signed an executive order that orders the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp to be closed within a year.

It’s clear that President Obama doesn’t view national security as a priority. Everything else is going to grow. However, defense is going to be cut by 55 billion.

However, what continually surprises me is even after September 11, Democrats still don’t understand:

• that people want to really hurt us
• that our enemies tend to target big cities or anything big
• that for the most part, there are more Democrats living in big cities than there are Republicans (see the election results)
• If we are attacked again, it is likely that there will be just as many, if not more, Democrats who will get hurt in the attack than Republicans

One would think that average Democrats would get these points and actually want to protect themselves and their families.

Too bad, they are listening to Democratic leaders and other liberals such as most of what passes for the media INSTEAD of using common sense.

Have more than two children? You are irresponsible!!!

Think that the political left is harmless?

In a piece in the Sunday Times, titled “Two children should be limit, says green guru“, Sarah-Kate Templeton, Health Editor, writes:

COUPLES who have more than two children are being “irresponsible” by creating an unbearable burden on the environment, the government’s green adviser has warned.

Jonathon Porritt, who chairs the government’s Sustainable Development Commission, says curbing population growth through contraception and abortion must be at the heart of policies to fight global warming. He says political leaders and green campaigners should stop dodging the issue of environmental harm caused by an expanding population.

Yep, you read it right. In order to hold off Global Warming (a theory which is so in dispute — check the temperature outside lately? check the amount of snow we have had this winter?), this British leader says that a family should limit themselves to TWO children! He further says that British society should encourage contraception and abortion.

Right now, it is merely a recommendation. But how long before they enforce it under penalty of law? Forced abortions like China? How long before it makes it to America?

Freedom? Methinks freedom ought to be registered under the Endangered Species Act.

Read the rest of Sarah-Kate Templeton’s piece and shudder.
