Do you think Hagel is unintelligent?
The Repubs will cave and Nominate him. McCain will even support the nomination in the End. He already did come out and state, "never has the Republican party Filibustered a Presidential nominee for office". He don't think it is time to start now.
Graham says no Confirmation until Hagel and Brennan give up more on Benghazi.....but he wont be able to sway the rest.
Professor Hagel
Hagel’s Georgetown syllabus littered with anti-Israel authors.
As a professor at Georgetown University, secretary of defense nominee Chuck Hagel taught a foreign policy course.....
Constructed on the premise that America’s global supremacy is waning, Hagel’s seminar featured writings that criticize America’s standing in the world, advocate in favor of shuttering American military bases, and refer to Israel as guilty of war crimes.....
Those are just facts.
1. America's global supremacy is waning, and should wane. No one elected us kings or police of the world.
2. The USA has far too many military bases-How many do you think we have and should have?
3. Israel probably is guilty of war crimes. Certainly the settlements violate international law.

Yeah, we should be like water and Ebb and Flow.....huh?
Well myself.....I would agree with the issue that we have far to many bases as well as Embassies.
A People without a Country are a people without Rights.
China has more people and more money, so they are likely to have more international influence, even without achieving military dominance.
In my view, all people are entitled to basic human rights and all people should be treated as equals.
“Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained...”

Then you should have a real problem with China acheiving more "International Influence".
Although I agree we should be treated equally I do NOT agree that we are all equal.
That said the ideological bunny fairy telling us that human rights will be guaranteed one day is just a line from a song.
A good song but a song no less. Its far more dangerous to live a ideological existence, disconnected from the realities of this world no matter how rough they may be than to be pragmatic, intelligent and fully aware of the injustices that NO Govt has the power to control.
I have concern about China's growing
influence due to their terrible human rights record. I don't think it is an issue that should, or can, be addressed with military force. Engage and influence has proven to be the most effective way to change nations-compare North Korea and Viet Nam for evidence. China has also improved in many ways since we resumed relations with them.
Re. Equality-is that why you oppose anti-discrimination laws like the CRA?
How many military bases do you think we have, and how many do you think we should have?
You seem to generally think that the federal government is inefficient and corrupt. Why do you think the military is different and doesn't have any waste and inefficiencies that could be addressed?
Universal human rights is not just a moral imperative, it is the path to peace. A lot of progress has already been made, and much more progress is possible, especially if there is a will amongst enough people to put quality of life for all above personal and national enrichment and power.
it is clear you are unfamiliar with the requirements of CRAI oppose the CRA because giving people a mortgage who would not qualify for a loan any other way has nothing to do with "equality" and everything to do with bankrupting a entire Country and pushing undue hardship on the people it was supposed to help.
it is you who is lost. only someone ignorant about our banking system would believe that the bank regulators required banks to make uncreditworthy loansOr is that lost on you ? That giving people credit they couldn't handle or a responsibillity that they were not ready to take on actually caused them harm.
it would be unfair for banks to take deposits from communities but refuse to then lend to creditworthy applicants residing in those same communitiesCredit scores and maintaing standards have nothing to do with "equality".
that makes no senseYea Govt unchecked that supports the principles that Obama is pushing is inherintly corrupt and immoral.
makes a lot of sense to meHis response to improving the economy ? "Growing the middle class".
Unreal.
