I have one question. If this gunfight lasted seven hours where are all the dead terrorists? How many were killed? What happened to their bodies? Ok; three questions.

Morning AB, All
As always AB, thank you for doing this thread, for starting it, for monitoring it, for providing links and the summary after all the talking is done.
Of course I noticed. We all did! So thanks again.
Couple of things this week.
First….garage.
Indeed.
Been here ten years and from the start a whole bunch of crap was in the garage. Oh for a while we used the refrigerator the former owners left in the garage. And I had every plan to use the smallish upright freezer they left behind. The refrigerator, well it costs extra to run another fridge though we used its freezer compartment. Only problem, in the winters the freezer wouldn’t work and anything in it would thaw. Husband told me cause air temperature so cold it doesn’t think it needs to flip on, thus the food thaws.
Not to mention all the other junk that ended up in the garage over the years. House gets cleaned for painting, re-configuring. Stuff to be moved so where else you gonna put it?
I called somebody who came and boom, took the fridge and little freezer thingy (which I NEVER used cause, come on, the freezer above the fridge didn’t work in cold weather, I’d have been nuts to fill the freezer for IT to thaw out and melt). Guy backed up right to my garage door, rolled the fridge and freezer to the truck...threw it in….hit the button, boom, the big thingie mabingie came down and CRUSH….no more fridge and freezer. They were about thirty years old, May they rest in the landfill graveyard in peace.
Then I rented a thingamabingie that sits in my driveway and accepts trash. A big dumpster is what it is. They deliver it, set it where I want, then they come back and pick it up.
So granddaughter and daughter come down for weekend. We remove the Jeep from the garage, husband’s car to the street.
Then we begin.
We empty EVERYTHING, all built in furniture stuff, shelves, drawers, the built in cedar closet mabingie….EVERYTHING.
We make piles in the driveway. We make an “outdoor decoration” pile, a “pet supply” pile, a “craft” pile, a “home goods” pile, of course a “garden tool” pile. We have a tool pile and an electrical pile, the big ladder, the lawn mower, the pressure washer (we live in the swamps, must have such a thing to keep algae at bay), the leaf blowers, all the BJ’s supplies of toilet paper, paper towels and the like.
The whole driveway filled with piles of stuff and you probably know what happened next.
All day long people stopping buy to peruse our “yard sale”. We did everything to keep them at bay, waving them off from the street but they stopped and some of them even walked all around our “piles” of stuff as they would buy when this was all my personal stuff.
“There’s a ‘yard sale’ sign at the end of your street,” the lady told me so, patiently, I told her, NOT MY yard sale. Still she walked in and out of the driveway piles, daughter and granddaughter giggling and me with hands on hips pondering the universe with this woman walking amidst my stuff. I told daughter hell with it, have her make me an offer.
Heh.
That dumpster got filled with junk, and junk, old fax machines, non-working leaf blowers, old pressure washers, bags of stuff, boxes of stuff, stuff that we didn’t know what it was and stuff. I would glance quickly and declare it a “household good” or for the dumpster.
With the empty garage we began to refill. All the while we listen to my Sanyo player hooked up to nice loud speaker and Kaitlyn and I dance in the now big empty garage and we dance in the driveway and the music alone probably attracted people.
We dance to “When I ruled the World” and “I Have Been Blessed”, Adele, Muse, Coldplay. Me and Kaitlyn dancing across the planet, picking up trash and playing air guitars and dancing, dancing, dancing. Little yappy dogs next door barking, neighbor lady peeking through the bushes, me and Kaitlyn ignoring as we dance, sing and sort through trash.
We put that which survived the culling back into proper places, a cabinet for electrical, the tools, the garden supplies, naturally. Paint stuff up here, home goods in the cedar closet with my winter clothes, shelving moved to where fridge and freezer were ready for BJ’s supplies, pet stuff, very important in this home, organized to protect bug-attracting food and litter piled in the corner.
It looks great and my Jeep is now proud to sit in the middle of all the neatness.
Finally, note about granddaughter. Wow, what a great kid. She worked like the dickens, she did, not to mention the dancing. She picked up trash with the dustpan, she carried the trash, she organized the home goods closet AND the craft closet and she did a great job.
Eight years old she is and she worked solid for five hours, dancing and working as hard as me and her Mom and she ran all the errands for us too, fetching soda and Mountain Dew as required.
I gave that kid $20 and wow, talk about dancing. She even crafted me a beautiful thank you card, this girl’s got all the talent of her favorite grandmother, I kid you not.
Hey, five hours work and hand to God, folks, I couldn’t have hired anyone who worked hard as Kaitlyn did would make, well what’s minimum wage nowadays? And I bet you those minimum wage people NEVER would have danced and sung with me like Kaitlyn did.
IF I get time later I’ll tell about the stuffed panther but moving on to the big Sandy storm, the LAST damn thing in the world I need, and Benghazi.
“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at Work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. Romans 7:5
We all live in Benghazi now. We have a President who would not protect his Ambassador or Americans just as we are seeing in Arizona and Texas. This is a man who would sit for seven hours watching a bunch of animals attacking an American outpost and will order forces willing to rescue these men to stand down. This is the most America hating coward who has ever occupied the White House. Here is the coldest man in America who no longer decides on whether or not you can save an Ambassador and his protection on military or humanitarian grounds but on political expedience. This President is now the first one in our history to refuse to protect an American Ambassador in harm’s way.
America used to believe in Freedom and Liberty and now it is nothing more the Rulers against the ruled. Ambassador Stevens was part of the ruling class however once he became a political decision he was expedient and his fellow rulers watched him get tortured, raped then killed by the savages without allowing help. We are finding out it wasn’t a drone flying overhead they had a C-130U which could have taken out most of that crowd or at least dispersed them yet as we always see with Liberals they are appeasers first last and always. At any moment of the attack he could have ended it with this aircraft which had multiple Gatlin guns and cannons. Yet, he and Hilary sat and watched Americans get murdered while analyzing poll numbers. If he is able to watch a part of his Inner Circle die a horrible death what makes any American believe he will lift a finger to protect them if it would take political risk?
Right now he has every American’s life in his hands with his Deathcare plan and everyone should take a look at Benghazi and ax themselves if he has their interests in mind? When he sues the state of Arizona for taking the bold step of protecting their citizens why should anyone question his motivations for throwing Americans’ to the wolves? Every American around the world should realize as long as he is in office they are on their own and can expect no help whatsoever from his military as far as protection. He has no concept of the military creed of not leaving your brothers to die. He watched those men die over a seven hour timeframe and then went to bed, invented perhaps the most transparent lie in histoir and then flew to Las Vegas and was able joke and kid about the attack. What type of cold hearted individual would be able to be able to divorce himself from his conscious that completely?
He has proved beyond a doubt he would not lift a finger to protect this country over the next four years and would continue to appease and help our enemies defeat us. When you have a flying fortress that could rain down death in minutes and you would let innocent Americans die don’t look for help from our leadership. He may hide it as leading from his behind but no decision is a decision and he decided to let those men die just as he will when the Death Panels are chosen and they need to lower healthcare costs. Right now healthcare costs are the problem of the health insurance companies and very shortly they are going to be a problem of the gummit and there is only one way to lower them which is to end them through not allowing life saving procedures. He simply lets the old and infirmed die.
He did the same thing in the economy by abusing his power and choosing winners and losers. He let banks he didn’t like die while he pumped up others like Goldman Sachs who was one of his big contributors. He brags all day about GM and Chrysler like he saved them however he destroyed millions of livelihoods when he declared the bonds worthless without any due process to give the company to the greedy unions. Now GM is living on borrowed time from the American taxpayer who will never see a dime of that money and they pay no taxes. Meanwhile Ford is doing as well as can be expected without the gummit interference. If he would allow oil exploration and development both of those companies would recover. Of course he won’t allow more oil or coal since it would allow America to return to power.
Finally, his not protecting our border is being handled just as well as his Benghazi fiasco. Between suing Arizona and his gun running Fast and Furious scandal he has chosen sides as who he will protect and it isn’t Americans. He has much more connection with La Raza just as he does with the terrorists in the Middle East and wants an end to America. He has been brainwashed his entire life to believe every problem in the world is America’s fault when in reality it is just the opposite.
If he wants to take all of the credit for Killing Bin Laden then he gets all the blame for Benghazi. This is what happens with central planning it was controlled from the White House. Rather than letting the people on the ground decide how to fight this battle who had the best knowledge of what was happening rather we had the politicians discussing what this battle meant politically and how it would affect his election chances. He then decided his chances of winning would be better by letting these men die and then made up a cheesy story blaming America’s Islamophbia for their deaths, which reflects his entire belief system.
This is an illustration of the Ruling Class vs the representative mentality. He believes he is a ruler in the mold of Stalin and Mao so all decisions have to go through him. Communism requires ruling and dictating just as this event proves as does every other decision since he knows everything. It is time to move back to a Representative leadership who will truly represent Americans and American values. A Representative President would have simply turned the attack over to the military and handled it with likely no deaths and would be the end of it. Of course a Representative President would have had the compound reinforced once the Ambassador asked or pulled him out of the kill zone. Representative leadership is decentralized to get the decisions made where all of the information exists. Benghazi is a perfect illustration of what America will look like if we allow four more years of the Ruling Class controlling our lives.
Pray for the Election
Note: The above opinion is not necessarily my own, but FReeper Bray’s. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.
Nothing will be said about Benghazi. In the meantime, a Benghazi tidal wave is building over the weekend and we are going to have a stormy Monday awaiting us (no pun intended).
I read on FB that ALL the Dems got together and called in “sick” to the shows this morning..............I take it they do not want to answer questions on “Benghazi”....IF this is true, we need to vote out these folks who feel they are above answering to the people!!!!!!!!!! SHAMEFUL
Bray, I wish I had enough dough to place your essay in every Sunday newspaper in America. It’s that good sir!
What’s ironic is the media is ignoring it for the same reason Obama did nothing...
Fear that it would hurt his election chances.
Yet for him, the story coming out is doing just that. The driveby media can only ignore it so much.
We have a new media now who are not going to abdicate their role simply because of politics and Leftist worship.
How effective will this be with The American People?
Thanks for thread A.B. Gov. Kasich is running some radio ads for Mitt in Ohio. We are fighting like H.
Thanks so much AB!
Well, I am shocked! Shocked I tell you...I was just postive that Susan Rice would be on this morning to answer questions! And,oh, where is Hillary? And Petreus and Panetta??
I’m sure they all had scheduling conflicts.
Used to be.
Now?
Mostly the Wind and the Bumbling Fool In Over His Head With No Idea as to WTF is Job Entails. Could not give a F*** anyway. Hey, it was just a white ambassador dude, who is gonna care.
And the media? Complicit MF's that need to e relieved of their entire operation.
I just read Clarice Feldman’s piece on Bengazi and it took my breath away but in the comments someone posted Petraeus would be on MTPThis morning! Anyone hear that?
