Don’t despair. All of you know what to do. Do what you can....every day & however small. Never give in to the LIB cretins...never.

We Boomers saw the commies, libs, anarchists and America haters in action during the 60s and 70s but thought maybe it was a “phase” we had to go through...now we see it was the beginning of the end of this country.
I feel the same way you do and the feeling of despair and hopelessness can be overwhelming sometimes...

It is a murder investigation. Obozo is an accessory to murder because he did nothing to stop it. The Ambassador’s murder amounts to assassination.

Actually, you could argue, and many people did argue, that Reagan, as commander in chief, did bear some responsibility for the Beirut bombing. Security was lax, so SOMEONE was responsible.

But the comparison isn’t very accurate, because a military base is low on the chain of command. A consulate goes directly to the head of the state department. Not sure Obama is to blame, but the state department heads are to blame.

And I agree that Obama IS responsible for the bad response.

And the democrats certainly blamed Bush for his response to 9/11 — they all loved Michael Moore’s film and mocked Bush for 7 minutes in an elementary school, even though that made no difference to anything.

If Bush hadn’t acted to ground other planes, and another plane had been hijacked and run into another major structure, he certainly would have been blamed.

Rep. Joe Wilson yelled out the truth, on the floor of the House, and was brutalized for it. No one else has been that brave since.

I think Every FReeper should send a tennis ball or golf ball to their representative in DC. Without any comment, they will know that their constiuents believe that DC needs more balls.

What went trough Obama’s mind >>>>>

Two white boys, Navy Seals might die unless we send in aerial gunships and rescue forces? Screw ‘em! I’m not risking my re-election on a possible fiasco and escalation with the Muslim world. The Ambassador and the others? Tough! Them’s the breaks, they were born to kiss my Kenyan arse and serve me

No, which will make his exit that much more enjoyable.

Nixon had the decency to step down and not tear the country apart. Do you really think BO will do the same?

HELL NO, we all know the answer to that one.

GOD willing, before this is over, we'll make the Kenyan Marxist's 2nd term such a nightmare for him he'll wish he'd never run for reelection.

I think some of the Dems know or at least suspect something.

I still think that Broadwell’s message to Jill Kelley, if Broadwell was in fact the one who sent it, had nothing to do with sex but was a warning about something Kelley had done that affected either Petraeus or the other general and related to Benghazi. This goes a lot deeper than anybody thinks, which was exactly what Broadwell’s father said.

Nothing...but they’re not free yet! That’s because they (the GOP) are afraid of their own message.

Amen to that.

We can’t keep playing defense with the Dems. Attack. Attack. Attack.

They come out with crap statements like this and Republicans and Conservatives in power either let them get away with it or end up being on defense.

Republican officials, please, Attack 0bama with everything you’ve got on this and don’t let up until you win. Our side is right and there is NO DEFENSE that he can offer outside of lies and more lies. Stop letting him get away with it.

There were plenty of "funds" to provide marine protection for GalVal Jarrett and OTHER embassies, though.

This (no funds) lie don't fly.

Sir, how DARE you insert LOGIC and REASON into the discussion!

You should know better by now that Democrats don't understand LOGIC and REASON!

I will never give up on my faith in God, and I will never give in to the ideas of the Left.

But I realize that they have won this battle and can “totally transform” this country, and I doubt that our side will recover in my lifetime.
