House Dem Calls for 'Analysis of How Christian Militants...Might Bring Down the Country'
At a congressional hearing on Muslim radicalization in U.S. prisons, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said that investigators needed to analyze Christian militants in America because they too might try to “bring down the country.”
In an exchange with witness Patrick Dunleavy, the former deputy inspector of the criminal intelligence unit, New York Department of Correctional Services, Rep. Jackson Lee mentioned the case of a man who blew up an abortion clinic and proposed that this perhaps was an attempt to undermine U.S. law that allows a woman to procure an abortion.
Rep. Lee then said, “As we look to be informational, we should include an analysis of how Christian militants or others might bring down the country. We have to look broadly, do we not?”
Dunleavy answered: “I don’t know that Christian militants have foreign country backing or foreign country financing.”
Lee then said, “I don’t think that’s the issue. The issue is whether or not their intent is to undermine the laws of this nation. And I think it is clear that that is the case. So it’s not -- your distinction is not answering the question.”
The hearing on Muslim radicalization in U.S. prisons was held on Wednesday by the House Homeland Security Committee, which is chaired by Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.).

For years I have argued with many of you that Mel Watt was the dumbest person in Congress. After seeing this I must agree with all of your that Shelia Jackson Lee is the dumbest Congresscriter. At least Rep King wouldn't let her by with her BS. She actually said that abortion was a constitutional right. That may not be as dumb as the flag on Mars but it is close second.
No way, Rick

Hank Johnson with "Guam capsizing"?

Then I remembered that he's got Hep C, which is pretty bad as it is and it does affect how someone thinks. I can't believe that after that reveal, his constituents didn't vote him out for his sake. So if Johnson's an idiot, I would attribute that to a medical condition.
In the case of Jackson Lee, she's gotten that way naturally as an idiot. I mean, who else could possibly come up with the lame-brained idea that the video of her answering a phone call(so she said) while her constituents were trying to talk to her was a doctored video?

If it's Hep-C and his reasoning abilities are diminished, maybe someone should tell him.
Is it that his sense of duty is so addled that he now must be led around by Ms. Pelosi, the human stretchmark?
He's like his kindred spirit, Robert Byrd.

Yeah, got a point there. There's a lot of them like that, led around, etc.
Pathetic and sad really.

I would bet that she doesn't realize (or care) that there are more Muslim militants in this country than there are (according to her) Christian militants. One was arrested this morning in DC.

How many reports came in this week where some Christian strapped on a bomb and blew himself up outside a mosque?

There is no question they are ruining our currency & Country! It is QE is theft & the overspending is criminally stupid. It is obviously deliberate & thus they are a very real domestic enemy of the USA. How about actually reporting on this obvious threat!

This woman is living proof that horse's asses outnumber horses. I am surprised that her brain produces enough power to allow her to walk and talk.

Sorry, but there is just no other way to put it.
I once thought Cynthia Mack was the dumbest person in congress, but SJL has taken the cake since the departure of the former.
BTW, has this functionally illiterate affirmative-action product of the deepest bowels of government education managed to pinpoint the flag our astronauts left on Mars?

Bill Clinton already did that. Remember the Right Wing Christian Terrorist scare? Well, guess who actually attacked America? Here's a hint: It wasn't those Christian militants, the ones that Clinton's administration thought was the biggest threat to America.

What a disgrace of a Representative seat in government.

I watched and listened to this moron on the news. What a disgraceful example of representative sitting in any form of government. People of Texas should be ashamed of this woman. Her attitude and her description of current events is pretty well summed up as hogwash. With an election coming, please Texas send a message to the local Democrats that this type of person, social activist is not wanted. Kick her to the curb, anybody with half a brain can do a better job than this moron.
