I agree that people should use their chain of command first; however, if a problem or concern is run up the chain and nothing is done to solve the problem or concern then they have few other choices. Good leaders set lines of communication in their organization to help people solve problems or concerns within the organization. The problem has been, and continues to be, obama appoints people like himself who have no leadership experience but are only local political leftists. Panella had no experience in leading large organizations when he was appointed SecDef and that showed with his mishandling BenGhahzi. And Hillary is obviously lacking leadership experience...other than leading Bill around by his "nose".

Many don't remember, or never knew, that Dole led the Senate in caving in to Clinton on the government shutdown that Newt had led. The White House has said it was within 24 hours of giving in to the Republican plan when Dole capitulated. Today he would be considered a RHINO who doesn't understand how far to the radical left the democrats are.

I see no negative aspect of Jackson's comments. He is just not on the liberal plantation...he escaped.

All the things the liberals are most proud of are detrimental to the culture, values, and safety of the United States.

I would like some elected official to explain why they think everyone in the world has a right to come here. There is no such right! If one reads what the Founders had to say about immigration one would discover that the Founders wanted only those from Western Europe with the rationale being you should allow only those who are the same culturally and with the same values to come in. Talk about being nativist! Something with which I have no problem being. We should protect the US not try to protect the people of other countries. The Hispanics, contrary to the progressive mantra, do not share the same culture, values and political outlook as the native Americans. If you want to see the future of American in 50 years...look at California.

For the most part, colleges today teach what was taught in high school 50 years ago.

Have any of you heard what happens to these "immigrants" when they do pay the taxes and refuse to learn English? Are we going to deport them? Of course not because ''there are too many of them to deport". Grahamesty and Flake did not vote in committee to secure the border first. This thing will die before it sees the light of day.

You are wrong. He was a sorry a$$ general and a worst Chief of Staff. GEN Tommy Franks was the leader of the Iraq Invasion and had to continually fight off the perfumed prince generals in the pentagon who wanted more troops. Frank did not need them. The problem was after the successful invasion and kicking Hussein's butt the poiliticians got involved and change to candy a$$ diplomatic actions.

Any chaplain who criticizes any of Obama's policies such as gay marriage or any others looses all chances of advancement. Military chapels, to include the one at West Point, now perform gay marriages. Obama has done more to destroy the moral fabric of the military in 4+ years than any communist infiltration could have done over 50 years of trying. When you have the Chief of Staff of the Army talking about the primary importance of "diiiiverrrrsssiiiity" we are in a heap of trouble. The once mightiest fighting force in the world is being turned into a socialistic social experimentation. Glad I ended my 27 years as an Infantry officer 23 years ago.

It's not just his black half that upsets me...it's his white half also because I'm not sure which one, or both, of his halves is responsible for his leftist dogma. Which by the way was bred into him by his leftist radical mother, his leftist grandparents, his communist mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, his Marxist college professors and fellow students as stated in his book, and Rev Jerimiah Wright...and those are just the ones we know about.

The man had his business cards listing him as ASofA, A Soldier of Allah, shouted Allah Akbar as he was shooting people, had connections to Islamist extremists, and you have the gall to not believe he is a Islamic terrorist? What do you think Osama Bin Laden was? A Baptist missionary.
