I like Ryans new schedule for congress. I think it averages out to less than 3 days a week. I love CONservative values.

3 days a week is a little light. As a reasonable person I think a 4 days is fair though.

Nawww...they are just smarter than the average liberal, who think Peter Pan and Fairy dust are real!

I kind of agree. Though bush's vacations cost us billions his minions cost us 10's of thousands dead and injured and trillions of dollars. Worst president ever!

I think not.

Bush may have taken more vacations, but he and Laura went to the Ranch in Texas and cleared brush, chopped wood, etc. much of the time. The actual cost to taxpayers for those trips was minimal. Same for going to Kennebunkport....free lodging at Mom and Dad's house.
Whereas, obie spent lots and lots of tax payer dollars on trips to Hawaii, Europe and Asia....and Mooch and the girls flew separately with a huge entourage of assistants and body guards ....with guns.
So for the obama's to go on vacation, it cost us, the taxpayers ...more than double!

obama by far....is the worst President ever.

Who cares as long as the job gets done. With pelosi in charge, they had to keep holding up the show so she could get a face lift. And Boner was a fraud, collecting a paycheck!

Perhaps you are fighting the wrong war. How many people were murdered in US last year divided by how many were killed by terrorist? Why aren't we at least as concerned about home grown crime?

Domestic crime is down significantly. Sensational reporting is up.

Even when you include the worst terror attack in or nation's history it is very telling that it doesn't even register as a statistical blip on the list of dangers and risks that Americans actually face?

You said "radical Islamic Terrorism." is insignificant. Everything else is much more predictable and usually comes with warning label or a PSA.

Damn Straight!



I know this is not my usual position. But this is a war. Therefore I have come to believe there should be no immigration or visa waivers until the U.S. adopts a completely new system to stop radical Islamic terrorists from entering the country. A wartime lockdown. And a big change in my thinking. ISIS and related Islamic terrorists are already here. More are coming. We must stop them. Until FBI director James Comey gives us the green light, I say seal the borders.

Yeah, that's perchance overreaction. We don't need to waste even more money becoming a bigger authoritative state. There isn't even an official declaration of war.

Significant enough where people have had enough. It's not just radical Islamic terror either.

Over half a million people have died since 9/11 in this country due to cars. I don't see people freaking out about those. How many have died from terrorist activities? It's becoming a bit more common, sadly, because of our failed, interventionist war and how we've made ideal conditions for the emergence of even more extreme terrorist organizations. But it's still not more than background noise.

MickeyW said:

The dogs are a low priority right now.
As far as how many? My best guess is hundreds .............plus the hundreds more who are radicalized American citizens...or sleeper cells.
According to CNN today....79% of Americans expect a large terrorist strike ...soon. That's a large majority bro...

79% of Americans expect a large terrorist strike soon because our FBI and other government agencies keep getting in the news telling us to expect a terrorist strike soon.

They are participating in fear mongering to effect political issues (like when they informed us of how many known terrorist cells they knew of in each state around the same time Rand Paul was threatening to take down the patriot act during its renewal).

The FBI or DHS have no business telling us these things to spread the fear FOR the terrorists. They do it for their own purposes.

A populace in fear is willing to give up its rights and depend on the state more and more.
