From Paul Geary: Feminist in the US, subservient in Syria.  Speaker Pelosi traveled to Syria against the wishes of the White House.  Apparently we longer need the Executive branch, as the House is now the Commander-in-Chief, and the State Department.

Pelosi not only goes to what has been acknowledged as a “state sponsor of terror,” but she leaves her feminist principles at home out of “respect.”  Even worse, she brings her disrespect for the President, telling him to “calm down with the threats.”

Let’s sum it up: The Speaker of the House disregards the Executive branch, performs her own diplomacy, forgets her feminist roots and “humbles” herself before a terrorist sponsor, and while in their midst tells her President to “calm down with the threats.”

“There’s a new Congress in town.”

'I, for one, welcome our new Democratic overlords.'
