Quote of the Day
It's easy to govern the weak and the stupid. They are too weak to fight back and too stupid to realize they need to.

Public Sentiment
I'm sure all of us have heard how our media reports are biased and stories are told in such a way as to direct the public's perception to a foregone conclusion. I'm not sure that it's working.
Paula Deen's indiscretion was a major flap a couple of weeks ago. "Everyone" seemed to condemn her and her sponsors were dropping like flies. However, I read quite a few (not all, I do have a life) comments on these stories and I did not see one person who agreed with how Paula was being treated. Did the media ever bother to acknowledge this? Not that I saw.
Now, today, our illustrious leader is once again comparing himself to the teenager shot in Florida. The poor man has been racially profiled (until he became a Senator - how in the heck did the discriminators know this; did he wear a sign?)
I call bullshit on his assertion that a lone woman in an elevator will "clutch her purse to herself" if a black man steps in. She probably would do the same if a white man or gang of teenagers joined her. A woman alone is vulnerable, you asshole.
Anyway, again the commenters seem to disagree with what is being said. I even saw one call the President out - "Obama will have blood on his hands if the hoodies commit violence at the marches this weekend. Blood."
I skimmed perhaps 30 comments to find that one again. Lots of comments calling the POTUS a racist, even if he is half white. How quickly he forgets...

MARGARET THATCHER'S FUNERAL
You probably already know this, but in case it slipped your mind, here’s a reminder of some current history....
President Obama was a no-show at Margaret Thatcher's funeral despite being invited to attend and thus snubbing England's invitation as a representative of the American people. Joe Biden also refused, as did Hillary Clinton.
(By the way, former Secretary of State George Schultz went to the funeral……)
The British took note of the fact that the Obama administration chose not to send a single senior member of the Cabinet. In fact, no actively serving, elected Democrat attended Lady Thatcher’s funeral.
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DID, HOWEVER, SEND A FORMAL DELEGATION, OF 14, TO THE FUNERAL OF SOCIALIST DICTATOR VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT HUGO CHAVEZ, WHO DIED LAST MONTH.
I was raised with the belief that even if you had contempt for the individual, you honored the rank. Guess our current administration didn't get that memo.

Making Up for Lost Time
I see that it's been a couple of months since I've posted any of my virulent e-mails. Here's a recent one. (The original e-mail had links but they don't work here)
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appears to be the front runner for the Democratic nomination to run for President in 2016, despite the fact that her actions surrounding the terror attack on the Benghazi Consulate prove she shouldn’t be allowed to run a non-profit, much less a whole administration.
The entire Obama Administration has handled the attack poorly, but Hillary should shoulder most of the blame, due to her position and involvement.
The American people need only to look at her behavior before, during and after Benghazi to know how she would handle a similar crisis if she were to be elected President. If anything, we should be looking for ways to file criminal charges — not give her the most powerful political office on earth.
1. She blatantly lied. Hillary Clinton deliberately lied about the cause of the attack. The American people were told that the attack was the result of a spontaneous riot in protest of a little-seen Youtube video that spun out of control. Anyone could see that it was obviously a planned assault by a terrorist outfit. Yet, Hillary and other members of the administration blamed the video for over a month.
2. She said it didn’t “matter”. When Hillary finally found time to testify before Congress about the Benghazi attack, she claimed that her lies did not matter. Despite multiple Congressmen pointing out facts of the attack that disproved the administrations narrative, she arrogantly dismissed their questions.
Pressed by Senator Johnson about why she had lied, she famously exploded “what difference, at this point, does it make?” She also lied under oath in these hearings, claiming she had no foreknowledge of the security situation in Benghazi. Documents and emails obtained from the State Department, bearing her signature, prove otherwise.
3. Her “investigation” was a fraud. After the attack, Hillary directed the State Department to conduct an internal investigation into what went wrong. That was like having a criminal on trial act as his own prosecutor, judge and jury.
The fraudulent investigation discovered nothing noteworthy, mostly because it did not interview any of the survivors of the attack, nor any of the high-ranking State Department officials involved. Sticking only to interviewing mid-level and insulated employees, the investigation served only as an attempt to cover-up Hillary’s mistakes.
4. She could have stopped the attack. New evidence and information have revealed that the Benghazi attack could have been stopped. Numerous documents and emails show that the State Department, including Hillary Clinton, were well aware of the dangerous lack of security at the Consulate, yet they did nothing to remedy the situation.
Furthermore, anonymous special ops witnesses and whistleblower survivors have said that military assets were near the region and could have easily reached Benghazi in time to save lives and prevent the second attack.
5. She has silenced whistle blowers. The White House has censored the truth about what happened in Benghazi, helped along by the complicit mainstream media. From the beginning, all attempts to uncover the truth have been stonewalled at every turn and met with lies, half-truths, or silence.
Witnesses have been hidden. The few who have stepped forward claim they were threatened to remain silent. Certain members of the military who may have spoken out about Benghazi have died, disappeared, or fallen from public view in disgrace. By all appearances it seems the White House, and Hillary Clinton, are involved in a full-scale cover-up.
6. She had no plan for defense. It is now quite obvious that Hillary had no plan for dealing with an attack like Benghazi. From the ignoring of prior threats and attacks before 9/11 and the removal of a highly trained security force, to the denial of requests for additional security measures and the lack of communication between the State Department and the military, it is apparent that Hillary Clinton is quite incompetent when it comes to securing the interests of America and the lives of Americans serving those interests abroad.
Can we take the risk of expecting her to be any more competent in dealing with a similar situation as President? The answer is obvious. Keep that woman out of the White House, whatever it takes.

Navy Seal Poem
I don't know the author of this poem … rec'd it today. Very thought provoking and poignant. I do recall, however, the President referring to the Benghazi incident as "a bump in the road". Today I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives.
At the end of the interview he asked if he could make a comment on Benghazi and of course the anchor said yes. He then thanked Fox News for keeping the Benghazi story in the news since other news organizations are not. He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole affair.
The Poem
They All KNEW!!!
Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton
Comander in Chief, Barack HUSSEIN Obama
They Did NOTHING!!!
Our Brave Men, They ALL DIED!!!
The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are out numbered by those who vote for a living !!!!!!!

"Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset telling our children and our children's children what is was once like in the United States where men were free."
---Ronald Reagan
