President Obama waived a provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to “vetted” opposition groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.
Some elements of the Syrian opposition are associated with radical Islamic terrorist groups, including al Qaeda, which was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa., in 2001. Assad’s regime is backed by Iran and Hezbollah.
The president, citing his authority under the Arms Export Control Act, announced today that he would “waive the prohibitions in sections 40 and 40A of the AECA related to such a transaction.

Is it a requirement to work for this Administration (and others) to have the part of the brain that holds logic surgically removed? We already have Senator Feinstein calling for more gun control, but we are gonna ship a boatload of assault rifles and ammo to a bunch of bastards that wants us dead? And the worst thing is they know it?
“Our intelligence agencies, I think, have a very good handle on who to support and who not to support,” (Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn.) said. “And there’s going to be mistakes. We understand some people are going to get arms that should not be getting arms. But we still should be doing everything we can to support the free Syrian opposition.”
But why should I be surprised? We are still trying to figure out how many guns were allowed to be sent to Mexican Drug Cartels so I shouldn’t let this crap affect me.
But it does.
Somehow we Gun Owners are the truly dangerous ones. Drug Sicarios and Beheading Islamists are not.
Dear God….give me strength.

Not that Obama wasn’t already guilty, but this right here? This is treason, clear and simple.
Impeach the rat, haul him before court, and hang him high ’till he stops squirming.
AND LEAVE HIM THERE!
Him, Biden, and every little butt-buddy he has appointed to some office somewhere. I don’t want a single one of them in the Offal Office. Heck, find some loophole somewhere, string em all up (Feinstein included), and put Cruz in the Big Chair. He, at least, has READ the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
And even DiFi should have a hard time squaring that circle. But she won’t do anything but tell us how brilliant O is.
On another note, CNN is now saying there was no AR15 involved in the murders.

They do regard us as a danger to them, and their power. We are the limit, ultimately, on what they can do. They want the people to fear the Government, not the Government to fear the people
