WASHINGTON — North Carolina's Rep. Sue Myrick wants America to "wake up" and stop allowing terrorism to proliferate — and if that means revoking the passport of a former U.S. president or examining the preaching of prison chaplains, that's what she's prepared to do.

The Charlotte Republican on Friday released a list of 10 items she hopes will help peel back the layers on how radical elements of Islam might be infiltrating the military, school rooms and other elements of society. She also wants to stop the government from supporting terrorist organizations through financial investments and military sales.

Earlier this week, she called for President Jimmy Carter's passport to be revoked because he met with Hamas, a Palestinian group that the U.S. government says supports terrorism.

4. That is a huge disappointment

2. Isn't she also the congresscritter?

Didn't she introduce some nonsense proposition to honor professional wrestler Ric Flair? Thanks for the laughs, Charlotte, but we're kind of trying to run the country here. Could you send someone competent to Congress next time around?

3. Typical GOP posturing

I didn't realize that Carter, as a private citizen, broke any laws.

Shit, Dubya has kept up relations with a long list of human rights violators.

Myrick's just trying to get her name in the papers.

5. he is a private citizen and acting as such

he is not negotiating any treaties or anything - he is not representing the U.S. officially.

The idiot from NC can just deal with it.
