Brennan

[Hawkmoon]

Just ... wow!

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/404860-brennan-defends-kaepernick-he-didnt-kneel-to-disrespect-our

Brennan is doing all he can to keep his face and name in the news now that his access to classified information to leak has been terminated. Now he has declared that Colin Kaepernick didn't intend to disrespect the American flag with his take a knee stunt.

On that basis, drunk drivers should all get a free pass when they kill people, because they didn't "intend" to kill anyone.

I never knew much about that guy, just that his name showed up in the news since the W. Bush administration.  The more I hear lately the more I wonder how he stayed at that level so long. 

It also makes me think that a whole bunch of those top D.C. people aren't any better.

Normally I wouldn't associate a one off photo with someone, but there are so many versions of this one, I can't help but think this is an angry, angry man.



Also, for a guy that hates Russia (and where was he when Obama said the 80's were calling?) he does seem to like commies:

While riding a bus to class at Fordham, he saw an ad in The New York Times that said the CIA was recruiting. He decided that a CIA career would be a good match for his "wanderlust" and his desire for public service.[5] During his application to the CIA he admitted in a lie-detector test that he had voted for the U.S. Communist Party candidate for president, Gus Hall, in 1976. He explained to the interviewer that his vote was a way of "signaling my unhappiness with the system", and he later described his vote as a protest against partisanship of the Watergate era.[19] He emphasized after leaving office that his entry into the CIA showed that freedom of speech in the U.S. does not disqualify a person for a career in government.[

Back when Southerners were defending the Confederate flag as a symbol of their heritage and culture, they were beat down by those who insisted it was only a symbol of racism.

I don't care why leftists are taking a knee, to me it is a symbol of disloyalty and anti-Americanism.

I, too, will defend to the death their right to do it.  But man, oh man, they'd better not ask me to do them any favors.

Noooosirrrreeebob.

He voted for a Communist.

That should have  exempted him from the opportunity to work for the government.

Communism is evil. We have seen it played out time and time again in nations that adopted it, evil.

Their right to do it extends only to not being arrested by the federal government. The Constitution doesn't protect them from owners fining them or firing them, or from fans who [correctly, IMHO] view taking the knee as disrespectful of the flag, the Constitution, and the country taking a knee with their pocketbooks and not going to games or buying NFL swag, or watching the games on television.

And taking a knee IS a violation of federal law, so you won't find me defending their [alleged] "right" to do it ... not to the death, not even to a minor ouchie. People have a "right" to rob banks, too, but that doesn't mean they can't be arrested and imprisoned for doing so.

I won't mince words about Brennan. I totally dislike the guy.  I think he may well be the traitor that he accuses President Trump to be.  As they say... "The fox smells his own hole."  His security clearance should have been revoked the day he left his post in the Obama Administration.  I think many of the folks that are not routinely called back into service should have their clearances revoked, so it's not just Brennan.

It has been noted that he personally approved the visas in Saudi Arabia for all or most of the 911 attackers when his underlings were hesitant to do so.  I don't understand why this information really never came out back then. This happened during the Bush administration and Brennan is a rabid democrat.  Revoking the security clearance removes some of this teeth and demonstrates he is not plugged into the secret workings of the government any more.  He's a private citizen at this point.

As far as taking the knee goes, I won't watch a NFL football game where this happens.  It gets turned off.  I find it offensive and totally disrespectful.  If the players want to demonstrate against the US, do it somewhere other than work.

I did not know about Brennen and the 9/11 hijackers.

I didn't know about the hijackers either.  Do you have anything on that I can cite?

The networks have you covered on this -- they're not going to show the National Anthem, so you won't know if players took a knee or not.

I won't be watching the games anyway so it doesn't matter for me.

It was mentioned in a TeaParty political email that they regularly send out.  I have found that they certainly put their own slant on things same as the Washington Post and so forth, but the Visa thing was stated as a fact.

[MechAg94]

I did a quick Google search for it.  Came up with a few sources who dispute this.  Mainly that the hijackers got their VISA's in various places.  I just think it is unlikely.
