Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton utilized a deputation of liars to promulgate the story that the Benghazi “incident” was little more than a street protest evoked by a reaction to “some horrible video.”

For an interesting brain tease this AM, I refer all of you to http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3049381/posts

(Were children smarter a century ago?)

Be sure to go to the original post for all of the tests. Even though there are some errors on this test, I guarantee you won’t feel so smart after reading this article. However, the excuses given in the article are even more interesting.

I'm convinced that Obama's unilateral delay of the employer mandate is unconstitutional and probably an impeachable offense. Congress passes laws and the executive branch is charged with enforcing those laws, not changing them.

"I do."

Deputation - the ceremony undergone by Barney Fife when Sheriff Taylor presented him with his badge, his gun and his single bullet.

Hey, Floyd and Goober, ya’ll comin’ to my Deputation on Friday?

A deputation of deputies is called a posse.

See what a hundred years of progressivism has wrought.

I didn’t even check the thread before posting but it looks like a bunch of us are on the same page.
