(CNSNews.com) – Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he supports sending weapons to Syria to arm the “right set of rebels.” But he did not specify who the “right” rebels are. During a press conference Tuesday, Boehner was asked if he agreed with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers on Syria.
“I think their effort to help the right set of rebels in Syria is in our nation’s best interest,” Boehner said.
On Monday, the House and Senate Intelligence committees approved President Obama’s plan for the CIA to begin a covert operation to arm the Syrian rebels.
Although he signed off on the plan, Chairman Rogers said he remains concerned that weapons could end up in the hands of Islamist militants.
"It is important to note that there are still strong reservations," Rogers said. "We got a consensus that we could move forward with what the administration's plans and intentions are in Syria, consistent with committee reservations."
One of the strongest groups fighting against Syrian President Bashar Assad is Jabhat al Nusra, an Islamist group that pledged its loyalty to al Qaeda last month.

So, he's a "filthy statist tool" for supporting something he thinks is in our nation’s best interest?
That's the problem with a filthy statist tool like that, it is what they think, say, and do. Even someone like you can't agree with this garbage, correct?

That's the problem with name-calling, it is a tacit admission of defeat on the battlefield of ideas. Even someone like you can agree with that, correct?

There's no problem at all, I call a filthy statist tool, a filthy statist tool. I have no words (at least polite ones) to describe someone that puts party over country. Buzz off.
Zitat. . . That's the problem with name-calling, it is a tacit admission of defeat on the battlefield of ideas. . . .
So sayeth RR's resident troll / cyber stalker. Point this quote out to it [the resident troll] the next time it resorts to one of its favorite 'debating' techniques, i.e. personal name calling.

I responded to a comment directed to me (unlike what you just did) and you call me a stalker? Duh.
And, please show me examples of my "name calling", bearing in mind that I've been called names, literally, hundreds of times recently, such as: boot-licker, a**hole, dipsh*t, low-life sh*t eater, hack, enemy of the republic and traitor.
Run along now, algie, and report back to me with specific citations of instances where I called RR members similar names.

I really think the constant name calling tossed out around here is childish. Fun is fun but sometimes it is just being nasty to be nasty.
Where is the harm in trying to find something good in the representatives running the show? By the same token where is the good in looking for reasons to hate them...or those who don't?
We deny liberals access because we want to discuss and hash out conservative view minus the idiocy they bring to a discussion.
Does it ever occure to you guys that some of the responses are reactionary tweaks to false accusations that are frequently posted?
If you all really need a whipping boy that bad I can probably get war here.
Otherwise discuss the issues and leave the personal bull sh*t out. It sucks to be bored on my own site with the useless pile ones and hijacks to bash fellow conservatives from what is a small community.
