This is just unacceptable to have such a stupid and uninformed person leading the US foreign intelligence committee. If she doesn’t understand what’s going on in Egypt, just imagine what she doesn’t understand about our own (USA) defense and vulnerability. GOP get rid of this person fron this committee.

Egypt: The Fuse On The Brink of Igniting

If some how the Muslim Brotherhood gains even a small foothold in the political landscape in Egypt, that eventually you will end up with a second Iran…

Never thought I would see Feinstein and Beck on the same page. Have you been waterboarding her Glenn?

This from a woman who said she would take every firearm away from every person if she could.
There is much that Feinstein doesn’t understand – Islamic terrorism and our own Constitution to name a couple of examples.

Shameful. The repubs are missing a great oportunity to run ads on just how incompetent our elected leaders are!! And the media spends all its time bashing Beck, the only person who is getting it right.
I have a suggestion for Congress, Senate and the President and his administration
WATCH GLENN BECK- you’ll learn what you should already know.
These morons didnot read the healthcare bill ,so I seriously doubt if they have done any research on Muslim Brotherhood , who the protesters are and their intentions. Our leaders are imbiciles!!!
The radical Islamist said they would use our politically correctness to do us in and are leaders are very content to let that happen. We must vote them out 2012.

Many on this site think we should send in the military so that Israel won’t have to feel threatened but in the very next sentence or next blog they will be talking about following the Constitution… lol

What a surprise! You Unber Libs can’t see the forrest for the trees and if, by some chance, you did, you wouldn’t believe it anyway. This is what happens if you’re student of revisionist history. You study things the way you want to see them , not the way they are.

Isn’t your job as chairman of the intelligence committee to “understand” this? Maybe it’s time for someone who does. There is also the disturbing possibility that things are progressing just as you would like and “playing dumb” is how you stay in the game.

This written by a leftest academic as far back as 1979 during the Iranian mess:

‘As an Islamic movement, it can set the entire region afire, overturn the most unstable regimes, and disturb the most solid. Islam which is not simply a religion, but an entire way of life, an adherence to a history and a civilization, has a good chance to become a gigantic powder keg, at the level of hundreds of millions of men. . . Indeed, it is also important to recognize that the demand for the “legitimate rights of the Palestinian people” hardly stirred the Arab peoples. What it be if this cause encompassed the dynamism of an Islamic movement, something much stronger than those with a Marxist, Leninist, or Maoist character? (Foucault “A Powder Keg Called Islam”)’

  Typical liberal DUMMYCRAT. More worried about destroying American wealth and liberty and squandering it on worthless projects than any real threat to America posed by Muslims. Any comparison between Dianne Feinstein and intelligence is purely co-incidental.

  What part of BECKS warnings did she or any other radical liberal not understand? They may have started to realise they are going to have to share their new global world with some guys that are a little more violant and a little less tolerant of the likes of them. They will getwhat they asked for.

It’s the special interests that are destroying this country, abortion clinics, teachers unions and AFL-CIO, SEIU, GE(snark),NAACP and now we can add TSA, thanks to our helpful President.

“We do not understand this…” Let me see, the head of the intelligence committee fails to understand that the government of Egypt is in danger by an extremist group who seeks global domination in the name of their religious extremist interpretations…and they do not understand the reasons?

Oh, yes that is right, the progressives in the administration and congress have so messed up their own views of reality that if it does not fit their little paradime of operations to global domination then they have not a clue as what to do.

  They do understand but they don’t want to admit out loud that democracy in an unenlightened society leads to control by a manipulative power elite. That’s what they are doing in the US. The checks and balances engineered by our founders have been undermined through 100 years of progressive subversion in both the government and the educational system.
  
  What they will admit is that their interventions have lead to unexpected and undesirable consequences because they have not been able to exert enough control on certain factions over there.

  Three questions a free people need to ask themselves. 1) Is Govt evil ? “Government is force; like fire.” George Washington 2) Can evil do good ? “Power always thinks… that it is doing God’s service when it is violating all his laws.” John Adams
  3) If evil attempts to do good, do you support it ? “United States of America does more good in the world than any other Nation” Republlicans..

  This makes me want to scream. As Mayor of San Francisco, Feinstein supported Jim Jones, and was unable to see Jones as anything other than a benign religious leader, in spite of all evidence. After he and his congregation committed suicide, Feinstein skated off into the sunset. Now look at the damage she can do!
  
  Democrats are perennially clueless about two things: Foreign policy – particularly the intentions of our enemies – and economics. Considering that these are critical cornerstones of our nation, when the Dems have control we spiral into trouble.

  Here’s the thing.. Dems THINK they have all the answers.. they THINK everyone plays fair and IF they don’t than they can REGULATE them into doing so..Most People who vote Democratic actually BELIEVE that those they elect are doing their jobs checking out the facts BEFORE making a decision and trust them to do so.. as my sister so rightly put it last night it appears that you can’t trust EITHER side to do their jobs.. and to have to watch EVERYTHING they do is a FULL time job.. those that work don’t have the time.. and she’s right.. I started noticing things that didn’t seem right while I was working and was lucky since the internet came in and my kids grew and left.. so I would multitask at night looking things up and passing the word.. STILL no one really believed that those who were elected were to busy fund raising TO BOTHER to do their jobs and check the facts.. NOW however those days are gone.. those that didn’t believe are gathering their own facts or boldly asking.. and are NOT happy with people like Feinstein who are suddenly admitting they aren’t sure cause they were duped before.. Maybe it’s time that those in D.C. do some homework and use their computers and look up some facts.. This goes for BOTH parties.. NEITHER are drowned in FACTS.. they listen to STAFFERS..and basically GOSSIP from each other on things they heard from their STAFFERS not be actually SEEING the facts..

  This is like the Stock Market Analysts who were predicting soaring markets last week that they bring in for advice right after the crash.

  I just got around to listening to this lametard statement from the chair of the Dem “intelligence” committee. Is she completely in the dark on this, or is she just trying to justify her/their total bumbling of this matter over the past several years? It’s all a no brainer. The muslim world has been trying to take over the entire world from the get go. (Since the 700′s) There is no room for anyone of any other religion in their world. They will not stop until their goal is met, or until the second coming is upon them and they realize they’ve been deceived big time. Until then we need to brace ourselves and expect terrible wars and dissasters both natural and man-made from here on out. Prepare for difficult times folks no matter what the cause may be. If you don’t, you’ll be the ones scratching, groveling, and begging, just trying to survive. Get out of debt, and prepare in every way for a complete change of lidestyle. Even if you’re rich now, if you don’t prepared ahead of time you will find that your money may very well become worthless. Just a word of warning . . .
