House Blocks Aid to Hamas

On the one hand, defunding Hamas is what we like to call a "no-brainer." With our federal budget overstretched and massive federal deficits piling up, it's encouraging to see that our elected officials can muster the courage to cut spending to bloodthirsty terrorists. Such courage. Such statesmanship. On the other hand, there are many, many "no brainers" that our elected officials never find time to get around to, so I'm still surprised at the boldness of this particular move.

I'm sure Hamas is beating the bushes for a good lobbyist as we speak. No doubt their good friends over at the Saudi embassy can hook 'em up.
