You mean they didn’t just whip up all 342 pages in a little over a month? The borders of my comfort zone are getting smaller by the day.

I think the national "lamestream" media keeps mixing up tea party with Neo-cons. Why else would they ask the Neo-con stronghold aka the AEI what they think about the tea party? Shucks, it was the AEI and it's off-shoot, the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) that got us involved in Iraq and Afghanistan and wrote the PATRIOT Act years BEFORE 9/11.

The only reason most of these hacks oppose our “humanitarian” mission in Libya is because there’s not a Republican running the show.

Money and oil folks. You’re sending your sons and daughters off to die so some one else can get obscenely rich and still rape you at the gas pump. We may as well swap out Old Glory for the Jolly Roger.

The only tools the fools have chosen to employ are blood willingly given by our volunteer military and or bribery, which is the outright theft of Americas prosperity.
They cannot see past their own greedy crooked ways to give a damn about anything but ruling the world and these two instruments are the closest at hand and easiest to wield to accomplish their bent..

We have no national or foreign policy, only broken and corrupt profiteering leadership.
If you can call it that, leadership that is..

“Tea party backed lawmakers” also voted in favor of the most recent “Patriot Act” extension.

Nuff said?

Also, why is this pic showing rebel fighters?

Is this a subliminal stab at those who still believe the US should follow and abide by US Constitutional Law as terrorists?

Finally, these some of these same “Tea Party backed lawmakers” (aka representatives) still support sending 3 BILLION dollars (with a B) per year to Israel, while our nation continues to suffer economically.

Add Egypt to that, and a host of other countries which receive foreign aid and one wonders where the priorities lie in regards to the US citizen?

Would we not be better if we told every country which receives US Foreign Aid “sorry, but it’s our turn, since it is OUR money.”

The Federal Reserve sent untold amounts of money to foreign countries to bail out their banks, Wall St. tycoons made record bonuses and the US workers watched their jobs be sent over seas.

They continue to do so, and Eric Cantor (Rep-Virginia) still seeks to obtain i higher amount of foreign aid from the US to Israel?

Ron Paul is (out of the choices we have) the most pro-American choice we have I suppose.

Our foreign policy should be to secure our borders and protect the legal citizens withing, while deporting those who are here illegally (regardless of nation origin).

What we really need is a policy which puts American citizens first economically and socially, while ensuring freedom and prosperity are the goals we seek as a nation.

I look forward to hearing from everyone here on CHB regarding our “foreign policy.”
