Hoekstra spoke on the importance of recognizing the threat of terrorism, but Democrat leadership told him “the threat is not real.”…

No, not really. Unless he and the committee can be assured that the information remains secret. See the following:

U.S. Constitution – Article 1, Section 5, Clause 3:U.S. Constitution – Article 1, Section 5, Clause 3:

Then what is important is that Rep Hoekstra be reminded of this, since he is calling for the President to provide information to the States.

So, do you think the Administration is following the Constitution?

Yeah, what he said.

A. South Chicago

Now that the Olympic bid has failed, the Obamacronies would love to have a mega-prison project where they could siphon off hundreds of millions of dollars. Hundreds of Chicago thugs could be hired as guards (rather than beating innocent students to death).

Come on Obama, Jarret, Emanuel, put your money wher your mouth is. The choice is obvious.

Dishonesty in its various forms — lies, prevarications, propaganda and playing hide-the-ball with important facts — is how Hope-a-Dope got into the White House. He successfully deceived two groups of voters for his margin of victory:

- Cynical leftists who convinced themselves that he didn’t mean it when he preached his “I’m-a-centrist” pap; and

- Naive centrists who convinced themselves that his associations with radical bad actors for all of his adult life aren’t reflective of the kind of man he is today.

The leftists are discovering to their dismay that although he’s certainly sympathetic to their views, Hope-a-Dope’s loyalty will always be to himself first. If that means stiff-arming them and foot-dragging on things like the homosexual and anti-war agendas, then tough for them.

And the centrists are discovering to their horror that Michelle and Shawn Hannity were right about him, after all: he really is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

To assuage their present disappointment in him, the lefties are counting on a Hope-a-Dope second term — when he can finally drop the “centrist” crap and let it all hang out. Chances are that if he does get a second term, they will not be disappointed.

The naive centrists are in a much more shaky position — they’ll never salvage any of their false hopes from 2008 — but are nonetheless the key to taking Hope-a-Dope and his Corruptocratic Party down: having relied upon his dishonesty only to find out that he played them for fools, only the most idiotic among them will believe him again in 2012.

Should he answer any and all questions on this matter, that might be of concern to the States?

No, not really. Unless he and the committee can be assured that the information remains secret. See the following:

U.S. Constitution – Article 1, Section 5, Clause 3:

Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment require Secrecy

And, about these threat assessments that Rep Hoekstra knows about. Should he answer any and all questions on this matter, that might be of concern to the States?
