LEFT-WING CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL; DO NOT PASS “GO”

SPECIAL POST

A North Carolina school has ordered a six-year-old girl to remove the word “God” from a poem she was to read at a Veteran’s Day ceremony honoring her two grandfathers who died during the Vietnam War.  The Justice Department and ACLU have both gone after states wishing to crack down on illegal voting by requiring photo identification in order to vote.  You can’t call a Christmas Tree anything other than a Holiday Tree” in Rhode Island.  Gays wanting the right to marry in California have twice fought their battle in the U.S. Supreme Court, although the citizens have twice voted overwhelmingly against the proposal. 

Let’s face it: The liberal-left atheist Marxists in this country comprise about 12% of the national population, but they persist is shoving their own agendas down the throats of the rest of us,   whether we like it or not.  The liberal left judiciary in this country issues ruling after ruling telling the vast majority of this country that they have absolutely no say so over how the country will be run. 

I, for one, have had enough.  This is a democratic nation and the principles of a democracy requite that the majority rules.  If the damned liberal left doesn’t like that, they need to take their damned agendas and go to another country.  And the public should have every right to remove judges who will not abide by the principles of democracy from the bench. 

Enough is enough.  It’s time we Americans take a stand.  The only way you can beat these citizen pretenders is to protest loudly and firmly to everyone who will listen, “Enough is enough!”  Let’s get in their faces and let them know just how we feel. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.

BENGHAZI: OBAMA NOW TRAPPED

SPECIAL POST

The Benghazi Massacre story has taken another bizarre twist.  The narrative popping out yesterday as U.N. Ambassador / Would-be Secretary of State Susan Rice was grilled on The Hill was that, since the FBI had been called upon to investigate the cause of the massacre, they didn't want the truth to come out until their investigation was complete.  Going one step further, the FBI now claims that it changed the CIA talking points memo that Rice supposedly relied upon in making her claims that it was all about protests over the You Tube video.  

Remember they first blamed Petraeus and Petraeus acknowledged he had said it was You Tube caused.  Then, he changed his story and said that his CIA Talking Points Memo had specifically said it was Al Qaeda.  Clinton said she would take responsibility and promptly left town.  Then Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence denied changing the Petraeus memo.   Then, it came out that the original memo, the uncut version, had been sent to every Tom, Dick and Harry involved in intelligence, including the White House.   The White House denied changing the memo.  Clapper caved in and admitted that he was the culprit.  And now, the FBI says they were the ones to make the changes.  

Are you ready for a good, stiff drink yet?  

What is clear and not contested is that Clinton, Petraeus, Clapper, the FBI and the White House all knew the real story: the Benghazi Massacre was the result of a terrorist attack.  Subsequent to that knowledge being passed around, not only did Susan Rice trumpet the You Tube story to five networks, but Obama also went on the airwaves and reelection tour to claim the same thing.  So, obviously, Obama knew the real story but was at the very least complicit in the coverup.  

But, why the coverup in the first place?  Learned and knowledgeable people in the media, Congress and elsewhere generally agree that Obama didn't want the true story to come out before the election because he and his Democrat lackeys had been vociferously bragging about the killing of Bin Laden and Obama's assertion that he had presided over the decimation of Al Qaeda.  The Benghazi Massacre was a direct contradiction of that assertion and that assertion had become a focal point of the reelection campaign.  

So, faced with what could be the undoing of his reelection, the President called out all of his horses and men and told them what the political storyline would have to be.  He created the lie and he, among others, perpetrated it.  Once the truth started to ooze out, they had to camouflage and stonewall and hold things together, spinning and lying more every step of the way.  And now... they're finally in the trap.  

Well anything come of it?  I still doubt it.

TAXES: WHAT ABOUT US AMERICANS?

SPECIAL POST

The more I hear this endless hyperbole from the Democrats and the Republicans over how much they are going to stick it to us, the angrier I get.  

I don't think there is a soul among us who would not gladly pony up some money to get us out of this mess if it was our fault that we got to where we are.  But, we didn't blow these billions, trillions of dollars on worthless earmarks, bone-headed investments, pie-in-the-sky donations to foreign countries... it's an endless list of pissing away our money.  THEY did it, both Republicans and Democrats alike did it, not us.  And right now all they're talking about is how much WE are going to have to pay for it.  

The Republicans and Democrats alike are wanting us to pay for their lavish spending, and they are not showing any signs of contriteness, either.  No one... not even one single Congressman or Senator has had the "political correctness" to say, "I'm sorry."  

Do you think for one minute that the perpetrators of this disastrous deed against our country are going to take any steps that might hurt themselves?  No, they want US to be the ones to hurt.  Has there been any talk about their taking a pay cut or fewer benefits, just to show us that they have some slight need to repent?  Hell no, they want to tax more and spend more than that... that's Obama's answer to everything... spend more money.  

I am angry beyond words at the whole pile of those worthless bums.  If it was up to me, I'd say, "They are the ones who will look like crap if we go over the fiscal cliff, so let's go."   I, for one, am sick and tired of having them shove it up MY rear end.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

BENGHAZI STORY DISAPPEARS; SUSAN RICE A "SHOO-IN"

SPECIAL POST

The Benghazi story disappeared over the holiday and it became more apparent that Congress and the Republicans will do Obama's biding and confirm her as the next Secretary of State.  While the media and the press never mentioned the Benghazi Massacre once during the holidays, they were quick to jump on the story that House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King (R-N.Y.) praised U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice for her diplomatic work. Rice had appeared on five different networks touting that the Benghazi Massacre was not a terrorist attack, but that it resulted from over-zealous demonstrators and a You Tube video.  

When word leaked out of the White House sewer system that Obama intended to name Rice as his next Secretary of State, Senator John McCain and other prominent politicians from both parties came unglued and Obama threw down the gauntlet, telling McCain to back off and that he would name whomever he wanted to the post and there was, in essence, nothing they could do about it.  Yesterday, McCain agreed he is open to having Rice as Secretary of State.  

Let's face it: The Republicans have no say so.  Yes, they control the House, but Rice's nomination only has to be cleared by the Senate.  As I said right after the election, from now on whatever Obama wants, Obama gets.  As they say at the track, "The fix is in."  And as far as Benghazi goes, it really wasn't a massacre; it was just a "bump in the road."  Remember?  

Suck it up.

WARNING TO OBAMA

SPECIAL POST

Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi brokered a cease-fire between Gaza's Hamas and Israel last week, then seized broad new powers from the Egyptian government for himself.  There was an immediate uproar, some claiming he wants to be a modern-age Egyptian Pharaoh.  Threats from Egyptian judges to call in the military and remove Morsi came out yesterday.  The president granted himself sweeping powers to "protect the revolution" and made himself immune to judicial oversight. 

Egypt's highest court, the "Supreme Judicial Council," call Morsi's decrees an unprecedented judicial assault; other Egyptian courts put on a work stoppage until the powers are lifted.  Angry demonstrators took to the streets protesting Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood.  Later, pro-Morsi demonstrators also made their appearance.  The resulting clashes could cause the government to disintegrate and go back under total military control.  

The warning to Barack Obama is clear: Should he continue to hold himself out as the new American pharaoh, it is probable that he also will come under fire for evading our Constitution and usurping the powers of Congress.  This country is a tinder-box full of patriotic citizens who are ready for a fight.

SHORT SHOTS

Turkey Day has just departed and it’s time for another brilliant issue of “Short Shots.”  You know how the “i” is right next to the “o” on the keyboard; I just caught a critical error on the Post headline…

  

Jesse Jackson Jr. has resigned.  I wonder if they will now release Rod Blagojevich from prison.  I simply can’t imagine that they would be investigating the son of Jesse Jackson, of all people, for campaign fraud and other dirty deeds, can you? 

Over the weekend, we had Director of National Intelligence Clapper doing a 180 and saying that he was the one who made the changes to the CIA talking points which U.S. Ambassador Rice purportedly relied upon when she insisted that the Benghazi Massacre was the result of protestors over the You Tube video.  We were then treated with Rice coming forth and again insisting that she relied on those talking points.  Petraeus, of course, has said that his version of the talking points clearly pointed to Al Qaeda, but Clapper says that both Petraeus and FBI Director Robert Mueller signed off on his changes.  I’ve been saying that the Benghazi situation was going to be maneuvered into oblivion by the Obama Administration and it’s starting to look as if it’ll be a dead issue before Obama nominates Rice as his new Secretary of State during the Congressional Christmas recess, thereby doing an end-run around otherwise required Congressional approval.  Isn’t that just swell? 

In the meanwhile, this is the first time in my infinite memory when some group, any group, got away with killing U.S. citizens in an Embassy or Consulate, let alone a U.S. Ambassador.  The proof of this conclusion is that U.S. Naval ships stationed in the region were on their way home until the fighting started between Hamas and Israel.  Just how far has this nation fallen, that we accept this? 

Residents of the Gaza Strip were so happy to hear that the military confrontation was over between Hamas and Israel; they were so sick and tired of the mortar explosions and gunfire that they celebrated the cease fire by going out into the streets and firing their guns into the air.  They must be Democrats. 

In the meanwhile, the Press and the Media are paying more attention to the demise of Hostess Baking and the Twinkie than they are Benghazi or the Gaza Strip.  Personally, I think we would be better off without those guys, spreading their misinformation and lies.  No news is better than manufactured news. 

What a great holiday weekend, what with airlines cutting back on flights and service, rental car companies being out of cars, and strikes at LAX.  I just have to wonder when all of this strife in life is going to go away.  Nobody’s smiling in this country anymore; even the comedians are having a hard time making people laugh… just ask David Letterman. 

Saw a great sign in the grocery store the other day… “Porterhouse Steaks, $3.98 per pound; With Meat, $6.00 extra.”     

Have you noticed how all of the sizes of things, the net weights that is, are going down?  The size of the container stays the same, as does the price.  Every company is playing this outright sham.  Northern Tissues sliced the width of its toilet paper many months ago and had the gall to raise the price anyway; I’m surprised they don’t make us use both sides before we flush, but the EPA is working on that possibility.   

Speaking of the EPA, did you know that the Director is using two names?  Yep, she’s known as Lisa Jackson and Richard Windsor.  I don’t know the answer… maybe she IS a transsexual.  But, that wouldn’t have any bearing on the issue unless she married herself…. Her office justifies this by saying she doesn’t want the public to know who she really is. Given her/his track record, neither would I.  

There’s absolutely no truth to the rumor that Fox’s Bill O’Reilly has accepted a job as the spokesperson for Planned Parenthood… or PBS for that matter.    

Don’t you get excited when you think about the government that runs AM-TRAK and the Post Office now scheduling your medical appointments? 

I just got a telephone call from the Tea Party asking me to make a donation.  I had to tell them that I’ve switched back to coffee.  They are almost… almost as splintered as the Republican Party.  The Party is saying that they need to take a different direction; how about out of town... lickety split? 

Don’t worry about the Fiscal Cliff.  Obama’s got a great strategy to fuel things up, if you’ll pardon the play on words.  He’s sending $6 billion to Asia to help them gear up their “clean energy” projects.  I’m not sure, but I hear that Solyndra has moved its headquarters to Bangkok. 

There’re a whole lot of states, (57 according to Barack Obama), that want to secede from the Union.  They’re ticked off at everything this nation is doing to itself.  I think it’s a great idea myself, but they should wait until I get my 2012 income tax refund; this year I’m claiming all illegal immigrants as my dependents.  A new twist is that you can add your name to a petition for your state’s secession at the White House website, but you have to register first; a confirmation email which contains a temporary password is supposed to be sent to you.  Ha, ha, ha, ha. 

I have now received 37 “final notice” voicemails from Credit Card Services that I must act now to reduce my credit card interest rate.  Scams have no limits in their ingenuity, do they?  But, if they get arrested and hauled off to court, Holder may get them off; he’s good at that.   

It seems to me that the “Great American Dream” has turned into a nightmare. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.

GLOOMY TURKEY DAY

SPECIAL POST

The news this Thanksgiving is not good.  The Baker's Union is shutting down Hostess Baking Company.  Another union, trying to organize Wal-Mart employees, is going to strike on Black Friday.  Still another union is marching on Los Angeles International Airport, threatening to tie up traffic for days during one of the biggest travel days of the year. 

In the Middle East, a fragile cease fire between Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Israel threatens to turn the whole region into a blood bath of Biblical proportions.  Obama is back in the country and Congress is home for the holiday.  And, should there be any doubt that this will be our last Thanksgiving ever, the Mayan calendar ends December 21st; beyond that, by this time next year we will not have any guns left in this country with which to go turkey hunting anyway, thanks to Hillary and the United Nations.  

No Wal-Mart, no Twinkies, no turkey and no guns.  Bah Humbug!

BENGHAZI: THE LATEST TALL TALE

SPECIAL POST

Here's a story that should fire up your Thanksgiving Day indigestion.  We've all been wondering why Susan Rice went on five national networks to insist that Benghazi was the result of that You Tube video.  But, we've had Petraeus and the Director of National Intelligence insisting that their "talking points" memo on the subject spelled out that the massacre was caused by Al Qaeda.  The White House has insisted that it never changed the memo.  

CBS is now saying that the memo was changed by the Director of National Intelligence himself and that the CIA and FBI agreed to the changes.  According to the story, however, top intelligence officials with top clearances were actually told the truth, and Rice was one of those.  The story percolating around Washington right now is that they didn't entirely trust the sources that were claiming Al Qaeda was involved in the attack, so they rewrote the "talking points." 

Well, glory be.  They couldn't trust Ambassador Stevens?  They couldn't trust his associates who were begging and pleading for help?  They couldn't trust people here stateside in the Pentagon who were receiving emails, text messages and cell phone calls?  

This story smells like the worst red herring I've ever heard.  All of the sudden the intelligence community is taking the fall and their story has changed?  My, how convenient.

WAL-MART GOES TO WAR

SPECIAL POST

Faced with union protests over a planned Thanksgiving Day store opening, Wal-Mart has filed suit against the unions in Federal Court, claiming the unions have unlawfully disrupted business due to protests over the last six months.  In the meanwhile, workers complain of low wages, inadequate benefits and poor working conditions.

I have two responses: (1) Wal-Mart should stay closed on Thanksgiving Day.  It will not make any difference in gross sales for the season and it's a traditional family holiday.  The stores should be closed.  (2) Every employee who has gone to work for Wal-Mart knows ahead of time what the pay scale is, what the benefits are and what working conditions exist; if they don't like it, they should not be working there. If Wal-Mart raises pay and benefits, it must raise prices, and then who needs to shop at Wal-Mart?  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

Wal-Mart workers protesting their employer complain of low wages, poor working conditions and inadequate health benefits, among other grievances.

THE UNTOLD SEX SCANDAL

SPECIAL POST

THE BLAZE is reporting on another nasty sex scandal in Washington.  House Representative Scott DesJarlais from Tennessee was allegedly frolicking around with his office workers and with patients in his doctors' office prior to going to Washington.  He reportedly also wrote phony prescriptions for one of his patients and pressured his wife into having two abortions.  

"The CHATTANOOGA TIMES FREE PRESS reports: A decade before calling himself 'a consistent supporter of pro-life values,' Tennessee physician and Republican U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais supported his ex-wife’s decision to get two abortions before their marriage, according to the congressman’s sworn testimony during his divorce trialObtained by the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the couple’s 2001 trial transcript also confirms DesJarlais had sexual relationships with at least two patients, three coworkers and a drug representative while he was chief of staff at Grandview Medical Center in Jasper, Tenn. During one affair with a female patient, DesJarlais prescribed her drugs, gave her an $875 watch and bought her a plane ticket to Las Vegas, records show."

It is unknown as this posting goes to press whether or not DesJarlais knew General Petraeus, General Allen or either of their two bimbos or if he's ever been to Benghazi.  Watching how our governing officials screw around in Washington while they are screwing us at the same time is just sooooo entertaining.  This is even more exciting than watching reruns of J.R. Ewing in "DALLAS."  Somebody please pass the popcorn...

THE BENGHAZI MUCK THICKENS

Well, we’re over two months since the Benghazi massacre and Obama continues to stonewall and cover up while we appear to be no closer to nailing those who perpetrated this bloody atrocity.  And what did we learn yesterday?  For one thing, that the two women at the heart of the Petraeus-Allen affair scandal both have recently visited the White House.  Now, isn’t that just ducky? 

Oh yes, those at 1600 Pennsylvania have been quick to say that neither woman made contact with Obama himself and that they were both there either as a favor or due to some mid-level agenda.  Remember, though, that the people telling us this are the same folks who were also quick to call the Benghazi Massacres the result of a video gone bad and that they stuck to this story for days in the face of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary. 

While war between Israel and the Gaza Palestinians heats up, and while Egypt has said it will back the Palestinians, we are told that the “talking points memo” prepared by Petraeus and other intelligence officials specifically proffered that the massacres were caused by Al Qaeda.  Somehow, by the time that memo circulated through the White House all references to Al Qaeda were gone and the video was inserted as being to blame. Who made the change?  Well, fingers are pointing everywhere, but no answers emerge. 

Critics of Susan Rice, who went on five national networks to insist that the massacres were caused by the video demonstrators, are now being called racists.  The Administration, whenever its back is to the wall from those who seek the truth, always resorts to playing the race card.  In fact, Obama and his thugs have put out so many diversionary stories and strategies that observers are inclined to drink more. 

Not talked about, but in the public realm, (Wikipedia): 

“Between 125 and 150 gunmen, ‘some wearing the Afghan-style tunics favored by Islamic militants,’ are reported to have participated in the assault. Some had their faces covered and wore flak jackets. Weapons they used during the attack included rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, AK-47 and FN F2000 NATO assault rifles, diesel canisters, mortars, and heavy machine guns and artillery mounted on gun trucks. 

“The assault began at nightfall, with the attackers sealing off streets leading to the main compound with gun trucks.  The trucks bore the logo of Ansar al-Shariah, a group of Islamist militants working with the local government to manage security in Benghazi.

“The area outside the compound before the assault was quiet; one Libyan guard who was wounded in the attack was quoted as saying ‘there wasn’t a single ant outside.’ One witness said he saw the militants before the assault "gathering around 20 youths from nearby to chant against the film." No more than seven Americans were in the compound, including Ambassador Stevens, who was visiting Benghazi at the time to review plans to establish a new cultural center and modernize a hospital.^[  Ambassador Stevens had his last meeting of the day with a Turkish diplomat and escorted him to the main gate at about 8:30 pm (local time). The street outside the compound was calm; the State Department reported no unusual activity during the day outside. Ambassador Stevens retired to his room about 9 pm; he was alone in the building, according to guards interviewed later. 

“About 9:40 pm (local time) large numbers of armed men shouting "Allah Akbar" descended on the compound from multiple directions. The attackers lobbed grenades over the wall and entered the compound under a barrage of automatic weapons fire and RPGs, backed by truck-mounted artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns.  A Diplomatic Security agent viewed on the consulate's security cameras ‘a large number of men, armed men, flowing into the compound.’ He hit the alarm and started shouting, ‘Attack! Attack!’ over the loudspeaker.  Phone calls were made to the embassy in Tripoli, the Diplomatic Security Command Center in Washington, the Libyan February 17 Brigade, and a U.S. quick reaction force located at a second compound (the annex) a little more than a mile away.  Ambassador Stevens telephoned Deputy Chief of Mission Gregory Hicks in Tripoli to tell him the consulate was under attack. Mr. Hicks did not recognize the phone number so he didn't answer it, twice. On the third attempt Mr. Hicks answered the call from Ambassador Stevens.
“Diplomatic Security special agent Scott Strickland secured Ambassador Stevens and Sean Smith, an information management officer, in the main building's safe haven.  Other agents retrieved their M4 carbines and tactical gear from another building. They tried to return to the main building but encountered armed attackers and retreated. 

“The attackers entered the main building and rattled the locked metal grille of the safe haven. They carried jerry cans of diesel fuel, spread the fuel over the floor and furniture, and set fires.  As thick smoke filled the building, Stevens, Smith, and Strickland moved to the bathroom and lay on the floor, but they decided to leave the safe haven after being overcome by smoke. Strickland exited through the window, but Stevens and Smith did not follow him. Strickland returned back several times but couldn't find them in the smoke; he went up to the roof and radioed other agents. 

“Three agents returned to the main building in an armored vehicle; they searched the building and found Smith's body, but not Stevens. 

“A quick reaction force from the CIA annex arrived and attempted to secure the perimeter and locate the ambassador but were unable to find Stevens in the smoke-filled building. The team then decided to return to the annex with the survivors and Smith's body. While en route back to the annex, the group's armored vehicle was hit by AK-47 rifle fire and hand grenades. The vehicle was able to make it to its destination with two flat tires, however. 

“Abdel-Monem Al-Hurr, the spokesman for Libya's Supreme Security Committee, said roads leading to the Benghazi consulate compound were sealed off and Libyan state security forces had surrounded it.” 

That’s a good encapsulation which few of us knew.  Yet, there’s so much we do not know and the Administration is making it clear that answers will not be easily forthcoming. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

OBAMA'S MIDDLE EAST POLICY CRUMBLES LIKE DUST

SPECIAL POST

In less than four years, President Obama's kiss-up and bow policy in the Middle East has produced war between Israel and Syria, a massacre at Benghazi and forbidden fruit in the General's barracks.  While the Muslim Brotherhood is taking over total control in the Middle East and Asia, we are now stuck with a President who is shucking, ducking, lying and conniving as no President including Nixon and Clinton have ever done before. The anti-Obama establishment is frothing at the mouth at the prospects of an Obama impeachment which will occur when it's a cold day in hell and pigs are flying. 

It is clear that something involving the Benghazi massacre is so ugly that Obama is paralyzed over it.  It seems to overshadow the fact that an Ambassador and three brave Americans died there.  It is so bad that Obama didn't even want the FBI to get there until two weeks after the disaster and, for some strange reason, it appears that he didn't want the military to rescue those at Benghazi either.  What could it be?  

How does this evolve into top secret classified documents ending up in a scheming bimbo's apartment?  What is the nature of the documents?  Could it be that Ambassador Stevens stumbled on to something so big that he had to be silenced?  Do the documents shed light on the whole pile of as yet unanswered questions and suspicions?  

In the interim, the influence of Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood in the Middle East area threatens to bring about world-wide terrorism on an unimaginable scale.   And then, we have Obama in the White House.  

My God, what has this nation done to itself?  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
