I wake up and read my repub friends, outraged by the news story that obama to cut military-style equipment being sent to american police forces.   They are angry because Obama's name is on it.  They are arguing for the opposite of whatever obama says, which in this case... they suddenly support arming their local police dept with MORE tanks and other military weapons, not less.

This is a brilliant political move, you have to admit it.  Obama obviously loves a country where he has more power, more control, and a greater ability to crush the @#^@#(*  out of anyone that protests his power.  And now, the repubs are supporting, yes SUPPORTING, obama sending MORE military grade weapons and gear to local police.  And when Hilary steals the election in a year, and Repubs are on the street screaming about the injustice of it, maybe they'll recognize the irony when they're being pummeled with military-grade police weaponry they insisted on back in 2015.   :-\

FOX NEWS doing everything they can to tie this story to Ferguson:

Obama is no longer using federal dollars to send serious military hardware to police departments. This should be a VICTORY.  I can't wait for Rush's show today, where he tries to tell us how the local police needs grenades...

Repubs are outraged.  Repubs on getbig are silent, hmmm, maybe they agree with obama on just this one thing?

i love issues like this... i find them to be politically fascinating.

Let's look at TWO core tenets of conservatism... small govt/local LEO, and minimal spending.
Obama is satisfying BOTH of these.  Spending less federal $, and staying the heck out of local law enforcement.  


Well, Rush Limbaugh is starting his show.... talking about the Mad Men finale instead.   It must be more important than say, the militarization of the American police force lol...
