Open-Mindedness!

You know how New START skeptics in the Senate have complained about the agreement’s verification provisions and definitions, Russian cheating, nuclear modernization, and the supposed lack of dissenting witnesses in hearings?

Yeah, well they didn’t give a hoot about any of that back in 2002 and 2003 when the Senate was considering the Moscow Treaty (aka SORT), according to Walter Pincus’s definitive account in today’s WaPo. Loyal NOH readers will recall our series of posts highlighting this hypocr…uh, open-mindedness! (Here – here – here – here)

But remember, their complaints are serious and have nothing to do with politics. Nothing at all. Not a thing.

START

The most important thing to look at in this discussion, is who is in favor of the treaty.  Is it people who owe their alligence to their own country and love their own country.  Or, are they people who despise the US and what it has always stood for (freedom) and owe their alligence to the whole world (not including the US).  The so called Republicans that testified in favor are and always have been part of the progressive crowd.  Sorry, but us people that believe the US is and always has been the 'last great hope for the rest of the world' can and will automatically wonder about the motives of progressives and people that want to share the wealth.  Especially when they make millions of dollars each year and donate almost nothing to charity; and never give the government and extra dollar in taxes.
When the pres, says he thinks the combat veterans of this country should do their patriotic duty and provide their own health coverage. . . . While he gives health coverage to illegal immigrants????  and we are to believe that 'they' have our best interest at hearth with this treaty<
