Flying Air Pelosi, National defense and the F-22 Raptor

There has been much made about Nancy Pelosi and her unaffordable
and unnecessary extravagance in the use of Air Force Jets over the last
two years. The sum of this wasted money was 2.1 million. In this era of
rapidly escalating threats from China, North Korea, and Iran, it is quite
apparent that the early demise of the F-22 program is of grave
consequence. This is not the time to cut defense spending but Obama
and his administration have proven time and again that he and the
Democrats are not up to the task of protecting this country or it's citiznens.
Ms. Pelosi thinks she deserves this royal service from our Air Force.
Even if she had earned such service (which she has not) I would like to
suggest she buy her own jet, staff and supplies for traveling. She should
have enough money from her years of bilking the taxpayers of this country.
Let me present to you the perfect pilot for her own plane:

Wrong way Feldon

"Leadership: The speaker of the House wants to extend a proposed freeze on domestic programs to include defense spending. In a world of growing threats, perhaps she'd also like to cut her travel and bar bill."

Unfortunately, our enemies aren't freezing their defense budgets. Russia and China are rapidly expanding their armed forces, China's to the point our military dominance in the Western Pacific is seriously challenged. Continue reading
