libertybele: "...we have a Republican House and Senate; what the heck are they waiting for?"
Truly, I wish this meant something. Am I being too negative when I don't think they'd ever start impeachment proceedings on O, just like they never had any intention of defunding O-care or securing our borders.
My opinion, after witnessing so many congressional failures, is that we have a liberal republican house & senate, who believe in big government, big spending, bending over backwards to accommodate Obama's agenda. When they arm rebels I don't think these politicians care where their loyalties lie.
To understand arming 6th century throw-backs, simply follow the money.
This particular link is from 2013, but, I believe, still relevant.
