Fighting to Save Air Traffic Control Towers- Jerry Moran, KS Senator
This week, I fought to save Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Contract Air Traffic Control Towers that will close beginning April 7, 2013, as a result of being targeted for a 75 percent sequestration cut disproportionate to other agencies. I asked Senate Democratic Leadership to put the safety of Americans before politics and allow a v**e on my amendment to the CR to stop the planned FAA funding cuts to 179 air traffic control towers in 42 states. My amendment was blocked from a v**e even though it had 26 bipartisan Senate cosponsors including 14 Democrats. The only expressed opposition to my amendment was from the Administration; it is clear that saving air traffic control towers from closure does not fit their message that spending cannot be cut without disastrous consequences.

This is what happens when you pass laws with insufficient controls put in. You get political backwash. In essence, what is happening is that politicians are targeting programs with the maximum "revenge factor" they can get.

And thus you have described the majority of liberals, and 100% of all Progressives. Some time back I read an article based on some nationally renowned Psychologist describing the Liberal condition to a mental disease.

I have not researched this particular problem. Albeit from my perspective I haven't seen the numbers to prove the safety, issue.
I do know from a Historical perspective, when the Air Traffic Controllers were on strike during the Reagan Administration. They were all fired and replaced. I understand if they are having a problem negotiating their contracts etc. But to hold the "Sky" hostage in my humble opinion is negligent. Again , I am not privy to all the circumstances surrounding same. However, from my perspective, this is just another Ploy to distract Americans from the real issues. The debt ceiling/spending/ Federal reserve. Just to name a few. The sequestration is a grain of sand . It amounts to 2% . The country experienced sequestration before . Going back to the dismal Carter administration. The "Sky" didn't fall then, or during the Clinton or Reagan administrations either.

Obama's really whining because he wanted to give the muslim brotherhood 1 billion dollars instead of 750 million. The sequester really messed up his plans. He is quoted as saying; "this is dumb, I blame the republicans". Not nearly as dumb as giving your enemy a gun to shoot you with. Don't look at me, I didn't v**e for him.

A perfect example of the Omnipotent Ones arrogance. Deny then Blame. After all , none of the problems in this country are his or his party's fault. Hell there is plenty of blame on both sides of the isles.
I could respect a man who admits he made a mistake and move forward. Hopefully learning from same. But to Blatantly disregard our Constitution, furthermore Article 10 of the Bill of rights is a disgrace. The brave men that came before us and Penned those rights saw the probability or possibility of Tyranny. What is happening in this Country is living proof that they were right.
I am surprised that he is not blaming GW for the mess this country is in.. Oh! Thats right he is..

True, when in fact the person in the Oval Office at present is a megalomaniacal narcissist socialist who is also, in my opinion, a sociopath. Sociopaths are not wired like the rest of us - they only truly grasp anger, bitterness, revenge, and h**e. They try to copy other behaviors such as love, compassion, empathy - but it's fact that they are only COPYING and NOT experiencing these normal emotions and traits.
