A miracle in even greater magnitude than the impeachment miracle.

Well, then, let us pray for some miracles.

I understand the author's basic premise, but I don't see why it would be such a big deal. And it certainly wouldn't be a radical departure from long-standing U.S. foreign policy for the United States to be radical Islamic elements in the Middle East.

I would make the case that the real turning point was back in 1990 -- when the U.S. engaged in a massive military campaign against a largely secular dictator in Iraq to restore and protect radical Islamic royal families in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Fast-forward 20+ years and you have almost the same thing happening in Syria.

Amen to that.

The resurrection of Benghazi is the opening.

Thank you, Lord.

It would be a miracle.

Let us all pray for that to happen.

While we are being distracted by Putin, Sterling, and whatever Hollywood squirrel of the day, Obama is deconstructing not only the US, but the Western world. Unless Obama and his policies are stopped, nothing else is going to matter.

"If it ever does, its all over for them."

You're assuming that there still exists an objective truth in America.

You're wrong.

Everything depends on POV, and the left will NEVER turn on their own.

This episode will clearly demonstrate that the American people no longer exists, it's only them vs us.

No one seems to be talking about how, by blaming a video insult for murder, then declaring the producer of the video as the principal cause of the death, excuses an entire culture of barbarity.

It’s as if we now accept that if they’re insulted and kill us, somehow it’s our fault.

Benghazi revealed this to be ADMINISTRATION POLICY. This is why Obama is seemingly unconcerned with bringing the real culprits to justice. He doesn’t blame them, he feels for them. Do we need further evidence that he’s pro Islam and anti American?

Stop....take a deep breath.....re-read what Lewis wrote. Hillary and Obama aided and abetted AL QAEDA in Libya. Think about that for a minute. That would be like FDR aiding and abetting the Nazis in Greece during WWII. Remember Al Qaeda? The guys who crashed airplanes into the World Trade Center? The guys we have been fighting for 11 years or so? The guys who have been murdering Americans? Hillary and Obama provided support to AL QAEDA in Libya. That is treason. Stop and think about it. Then, Al Qaeda spit in their eye and murdered four more Americans.

Treason. Our President and Secretary of State supported Al Qaeda.

The purpose of the Republican Party is to elect Republicans to public office. It’s not their job to discipline the Democrat Party. It’s the FBI’s job to watch over treasonous behavior in our country. It is OUR JOB as American citizens to demand that these traitors be dealt with. I don’t care that the traitor is half black. I don’t care that the traitor is female. I don’t care that the Democrat party will fight like a cornered rattlesnake to cover all this up.

Treason. They were willing to sell you and I and our families and friends into defeat, slavery and death. I don’t care if they are hardened saboteurs or just idiots playing with fire, the intent to commit treason is still there.

WAKE UP.

No wonder Barry wants Eric Holder to “review” the death penalty.

"...Romney kept his gloves on...", because Obama wasn't a conservative or tea partier, therefore not an opponent.
