Congressman Doug Lamborn, (click here) a Republican from Colorado, is an un-American demagogue, willing to sabotage this country for his own grandstanding narcissism. If his words are to be believed, this brigadier blowhard is thoroughly unfit for public office and instead should be rotting in jail on charges of treason.
Or am I being too subtle?
Lamborn is the latest type of political muck America needs to scrape off the bottom of its national shoe: an officeholder so absorbed with his hatred of the opposing party that he is willing to do anything, no matter how much it damages our national security and the underpinnings of our democracy, if it will win him some applause and maybe a couple of votes....
Fort Carson is in this district in Colorado Springs. Some of the military from Fort Carson are going to Africa. The military presence in this district is the primary economy. After the military there are farmers and ranchers and tourism to Pike's Peak. The USA Air Force Academy is in Colorado Springs as well. This is all Air Force Territory, Peterson Air Force Base, Schriever Air Force Base, and NORAD. I would think the US Representative for the district would have greater respect for the military. I have to wonder who from the military might have been sitting in the audience when he stated Generals should be resigning in protest.
