a job talk by kate brown in university of maryland baltimore kelly offers a chilling modern example of her talk in the soviet and american nuclear states and their common reactions to the problem of plutonium support. ben ali's regime about foreign terrorists and criminals being behind demonstrations when i was in demonstrations in the 60s and 70s. we were outside agitators. caned abdallah said as much about those in egypt. such accusations so conclusively that these tyrants do not understand the new world of communication with accusations of foreign terrorists can be discredited by those attending demonstrations. hosting movies on facebook or whatever. everyone can see the demonstrators across the street are foreign terrorists. modern dictatorial regimes have no quicker means of discrediting themselves than the old lies which are hard wired into their dna. as for evil deeds what could be worse than deliberate use of armed criminals and the police to loot and pillage and solve these demonstrators? prime minister david cameron said government sponsorship of such activities is, quote, de

host: let us go to rob, conservative from maryland. caller: one thing i wanted to mention with the lady that called before me, they keep referring to entitlement programs -- social security and medicare are not entitlement programs. they are like an insurance policy. and entitlement programs would be something like welfare, or agriculture department subsidies where a farmer is getting paid to not grow something. those programs are not paid in by those farmers. those are entitlements. but the main thing i see about the budget that bothers me, is there are no defense department cuts. barack obama raised the defense department budget 20%. there is no defense department cuts -- actually a rise in that budget. about 1% of the population that is active duty and maybe another 1% that is reserves -- in the reserves or in the national guard. it seems like a large portion of the budget goes to defense. every other department is taking cuts. we have to be more selective in how we use the military and maybe not get involved in things we should not
