What a bizarre little man.
The guy really is reaching here, once again for the sole purpose of the whacked out ongoing strategy of the gop which is to convince Americans that Obama is a commie fascist stalinist liberal-ist gay-ist America hating terrorist in a suit.
In doing so, he and the rest of the openly bogus conspiracy theory factory clique have developed an all-encompassing amnesia for the way they wholeheartedly supported the mass information suppression of every single thing coming from every single (remotely) defense related issue - not to mention Cheney/Bush's open decision to make the presidential branch able to overpower any decision made by the courts or congress. Obama has backed WAY back from such authoritarian doctrine, yet if you listened to Hoekstra and his merry band of clowns, you'd be having to consider some kind of strike against D.C if he really is such a threat to America.
If these guys really do consider Obama to be as bad as Hitler, Stalin etc, then surely it's their patriotic duty to actually overthrow him? This is why it's so obvious to me they don't believe any of their own panic-stricken nonsense. If they did, they'd be behaving very differently to how they currently are - like mischievous little school children, using any old excuse to attack their political enemy - be it 9/11, the deaths of the soldiers they themselves lobbied to go to war, ot now the deaths at Ft. Hood. This is how non-'christian', lacking in decency & ages old American values most of the gop has become: only a few years ago it was considered political suicide to use the deaths of anyone as political ammunition. Now, it's all the right wing do & have - from the holocaust to Ft Hood, and every sensational murder in between. They cannot talk policy without exposing their complete ignorance of the issues, so they must talk fear & death and it's all Obama's fault.
The party who used to claim ethical superiority and stood for the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions, now stand for nothing more than political opportunism and the demonizing of anybody who stands in their way - an they have an entire TV channel and every Murdoch newspaper at their disposal.
To me, this political debacle we find ourselves in can be blamed on one thing: the purposeful destruction of teaching our children how to think critically. The importance of that has been entirely wiped from the nation's psyche - no wonder any attempt by Obama to encourage critical thinking is met with the loudest screams - as the right will never regain power if people start to use their heads more. It's in their interests to stop people from thinking things through properly. So: call it socialism, or Stalinism, or fascism, and the gullible will once again throw themselves about as if they're being physically attacked. And the gop will continue to get away with it, unless we somehow get people to really strt thinking for themselves in a critical way.

Maybe he should become elite enough to be apart of that GRoup of 8 or STFU.

Things are done on a need to know basis and if its determined only those people are required or need to know the information that is currently available to them, so be it.

Wait your turn Petie

Republicans lying. Also sky blue. More news at 11.

I am from Michigan and this Hoekstra person’s district is in and area where a lot people run around in the woods with baldheads and guns. So this is why he says what he says. I hope he runs for Governor because Michigan has a very large Arab community.
