The Benghazi Truth Must Be Heard

On September 11, 2012, Ambassador Chris Stevens, state department official Sean Smith, and two members of Embassy Security and former Navy SEALs, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were MURDERED in Benghazi, Libya in a terrorist attack that was planned and coordinated with Libyan forces tied to Al Qaeda. Sadly, the Obama Administration and Hillary Clinton don’t care. In fact, they’d rather it go away just as that tool Jay Carney has insinuated in his daily press briefings.

Back to the story; at nightfall of this prolific date, 125 to 150 terrorists closed off access to the state department facility in Benghazi and attacked with weapons including AK-47s, NATO Firearms, hand-grenades, mortars, RPGs and other military style weapons many of which were indirectly provided to these terrorists to defeat Muammar Kaddafi by the same Obama Administration that brought us a “Fast and Furious” program that lead to Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s death.

Back to Benghazi; today we had another round of testimony to the House Committee investigating this incident and once again the Democrats on the committee claimed that the Republicans were playing politics with this issue; however, just as they often play the race card, the Democrats always seem to be the ones who try and squeak out of their indiscretions by claiming that those who are investigating are only doing so for reasons of political expediency, racism, sexism, or any other ism that will project the possibility of “disenfranchising” someone based on race, religion, or political belief.

But this is not about any of that, this is about responsibility for foreign diplomats and the cover-up of events that lead to the death of four Americans who were neglected and left to die at the hands of an Al Qaeda affiliate by an Administration that has made a living recently selling the American people on the fact that they have Al Qaeda on the run. Unfortunately, on this night the only place Al Qaeda was running to was the Benghazi Consulate to kill Americans. And every since, the Obama Administration and Hillary Clinton have lied and coerce people to cover-up the facts that they were responsible for doing nothing to help those poor souls.

This is an issue that has been a huge concern and should be to us all as Americans. September 11, 2012, is an anniversary that should hold huge significance when dealing with security here at home much less a place like Libya where concern for security should have been doubly significant and IT WASN’T.

Four men who were in Libya serving their country were left to die by the very people who sent them there. These very men reported early on that this was a terrorist attack but President Obama and Secretary Clinton left them there to DIE. This facility had been attacked twice before in the last year and judged to be unable to stand up to an attack; yet there was the Ambassador holding meetings there on September 11^th – ON SEPTEMBER 11^th!

When the ambassador called to say this was an attack no one reacted to help and he was left to die. Now state department officials and military leaders looking to cover their asses have said there was no way to get anyone or any forces there in time to help. But we know there were forces in Tripoli that wanted to go help and they were denied that opportunity by their superiors.

We know that Doherty and Powers held on for six or seven hours before they were finally overrun and murdered when a single flight overhead by an aircraft could have made all the difference. Believe it or not, air power has an amazing affect on the psyche of a less sophisticated enemy. But no aircraft were sent and flurries of excuses have been used to explain this.

We know that there are Military Fast Response teams stationed in Europe that could have been on scene in around four hours and that they were put on standby by Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, but those forces were later told to stand down by administration officials. As a result, the Fast Response Team did not arrive and Glen Doherty and Ty Woods were killed in the second attack that COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED!

We know that the so-called anti-Muslim video had nothing to do with the attack and that there was never a demonstration because of that video. We know the Libyan President stated this was a result of an attack from terrorist but the Obama Administration and Hilary Clinton kept up the talk of this resulting from a demonstration about this video.

Now the administration and Clinton hold tight to the claims that this was all based on poor intelligence from the CIA. By the way, that’s a lie also as the actual talking points initially issued by the CIA were later published and spoke of the truth while they were later changed greatly before being presented as the fact by the White House and UN Ambassador Susan Rice.

But the real insult is the fact that even though this was done there has been not even the slightest hint of a modicum of responsibility by President Obama or by Hilary Clinton. And why would they? They lied, won an election (aided by Candy Crowley on this issue), and are set. Any responsibility now would only do irreparable harm to a consistently failing Obama Administration and destroy the future Presidential aspirations of Hillary Clinton.

In 2008 there was a Campaign ad by the Hillary Clinton Campaign that used the old Reagan era adage of a call at 3:00 in the morning. Sadly, neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama showed the ability to answer that call when it mattered. AND, unfortunately their incompetence and inaction prior to, during, and following this incident resulted in the needless deaths of four Americans.

Four men who were not just names on a page or faces in a picture but men with wives, children, parents, friends and colleagues. These were men who would sit down to breakfast with their loved ones, fished with their kids, played golf with their friends, watched football on Sunday and lived among us. These were Americans like you and me who were in Libya representing their country and deserved opportunity to live.

During my years in the Navy, working overseas in all corners of the world, I had the opportunity to serve with confidence under four Presidents.  And even though these Presidents all handled matters with different degrees of covert and overt operations, we always felt like we would never be left completely on our own.

Too bad we can’t say that for these four brave Americans.

How about some truth Mr. President?

Enjoy Retirement Hillary. And by the way; IT DOES MATTER!

God Bless the four we all lost,

Bill

My Newest Rant!!

 

 

 

 

Here are a few of the things that have got me going this week.

1.     The Italian Supreme Court has ruled that Amanda Knox will be tried again in the Italian courts for murder and that if she is found guilty then the Italian government will ask for her extradition. First off, I guess the Italians have never heard of Double Jeopardy. Don’t worry Amanda, they would never get the extradition and they really can’t threaten anyone. I mean their track record of using force over the last 200 years has shown them unable to beat anything but an egg.

2.     An Alameda County, California Administrator who earns around $422,000.00 a year and will continue to do so even after she retires. I was going to write a major comment on how the President only makes $400,000.00 a year and has a little more to worry about than the Alameda County Administrator. But then I realized; who cares, it’s Alameda County?

3.     Hilary Clinton resigned as Secretary of State claiming to have visited more countries than any other Secretary of State; however, like her boss, no one can remember her ever visiting a country of any consequence when it really mattered. Now I’m not a John Kerry fan by any means, but at great pain to myself I have to give him a little credit. In just a little over a month he has visited some pretty rough regions and handed out some pretty tough warnings. I just hope he doesn’t have to back them up, that’s when he’ll find out who he’s working for and then he’ll find out what those in Benghazi did.

4.     America must be proud of the president sending Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi to Pope Francis’ inauguration. I mean here’s a Catholic  lady who is on the outs with her Bishop and a vice-president who, as a Catholic, wouldn’t kiss the papal ring because his Momma told him he deserves more respect than even the Pope. And she’s right, just look at his career filled with lying, racial, plagiaristic comments, what’s not to respect – NICE JOB JOE!

5.     We are halfway through the bi-annual legislative session here in Texas and to date there hasn’t been anything of consequence to happen out of the ordinary. The only thing I can think of that has been proposed is to move the primary date up so that Texas will have more of a say in future presidential elections. Here’s a thought, how about the RNC and the DNC get together and decide on a primary date for all the states and let all the primaries happen on the same date. Yes I know that is a states right issue; however, the two parties could make it happen by limiting delegates for states not cooperating. Of course it requires the legislating of the legislators which is always an almost impossible legislative task.

Well, hang in there. I’ll think of all of you while I’m in Vegas!! Maybe I’ll take a few minutes to write while I’m there…..then again, maybe not!!

Later,

Bill

Another Day, Another Rant!!

I know – I know!!

How lucky can you be to have two rants in as many days!! Just so much happening today I just felt like needed to vent a little. So let’s get to it!!

1.       Venezuela’s Dictator Hugo Chavez has died. His Vice-President blamed the US for contaminating Chavez with cancer, but President Obama is hopeful we can build a relationship with their new government. Did he not just listen? Anyway, you remember Chavez? He is infamous for wanting to befriend Comrade Obama and for calling George W. Bush “el Diablo” during an address to the UN. Funny thing is, I do believe Hugo is about to meet el Diablo for real!!

2.       The White House is discontinuing the White House Tour on the 9^th of March. According to a White House recording it is due to sequestration. I know this disappoints many folks; however, if the White House thinks that canceling the availability of an unguided tour will help with the sequester then I guess we must defer to their better judgment.

3.       As if the TSA hasn’t already made some of the most asinine decisions possible with security screenings in the last few years, now they are in the process of changing the allowed items on a flight and how the security process will work? Well no, you still can’t take a box cutter on board nor a razor, and yes you still have to take off those dangerous shoes and belts before you board your flight, BUT now you will be allowed to being your pocket knife on board…HUH? I guess it’s important to remember that this is the same organization that takes away plastic toy hammers from children and will frisk granny in a wheel chair so I suppose this makes sense…

4.       The state legislature is looking at what to do to make Texas schools more competitive in the area of college preparedness. How about we worry about the thousands of kids not going to college and how to put some vocational education and training back in schools. That way those of us who have kids who go through 13 years of school can graduate with a marketable skill like welding, cosmetology, and automotive repair. We used to do it and it worked, but somewhere we lost site of the importance of skilled labor and now it is expected that inside the next decade America will have a shortfall of 10% to 20% of the skilled workers we need!

5.       The State Legislature is also working to move the primary date from March to February so that the state’s primary will be more in play for the upcoming 2016 presidential election; however, the move forward will cost the state delegates to the national convention. So in the end we need to either leave it where it is or move it to January 1^st so we can have the first primary in the nation and people can vote on New Year’s Day, which is a holiday.

Okay, that’s the quick and ugly. Hope it helped you as much as it helped me!!

Till Later,

Bill

Rant of This Week!!

I know I have been writing a lot lately but I am trying to become more consistent with it so everyone will know that they can check for something new on a regular basis. So without further adieu, here is the latest series of rants.

1.       $1.5 trillion in aid to Egypt this year – REALLY. I guess that makes sense what with the passing what the Democrats swear will be the “Sequestration Apocalypse!” What’s another $1.5 trillion on the backside of $6 trillion in debt already tacked on by the Obama Regime and given to a government that has shown they are not our ally and are led by clearly anti-American extremists! See, I told you it makes sense.

2.       Congrats to the Texas State House members who have and are carrying water and cowering to Speaker Straus and his henchmen. Looks like we will have very little to nothing conservative come out of this Legislative Session. News flash for those who voted for Straus as Speaker…We’re keeping score of your voting record!!

3.       I was watching the Alamo the other night and I realized had William Barrett Travis backtracked in drawing his line in the sand like Obama does on the truth, the Alamo defenders would have had to set up for the final siege in New Orleans.

4.       During the years under the Obama Regime the size of the federal spending has expanded by a little over 20%. Sequestration takes the proposed 3.5% plus increase in the budget (or spending since we still have no budget) for this year and lessens it to 1.1%. So by the end of this year the Obama Regime will have overseen an increase on Federal Government spending of over 21% since 2009 and a rise in the national Debt of close to $7.5 trillion! Yeah...they’re that GOOD!

5.       By the way, Dennis Rodman now has more intelligence on what goes on in North Korea than the CIA. After finding it so easy for Rodman to get in with Little Kim in North Korea it now looks like maybe we should send RuPaul to Iran!!

Okay folks; that’s the short and skinny for this week. Hope you enjoyed it.

More to come later!!

Answering the talking points from those who speak “STUPID”

Since the President and his Lemmings have been going around preaching propaganda for the last few weeks, I have been bombarded with insults and silly accusations from my “friends” on the left. As recently as this morning I was faced with yet another attack of the stupids from another of my unfortunate dimwitted friends.

As a result, I responded to his flagrantly ridiculously unintelligent arguments with the following rebuttal. But once I completed the response I felt compelled to forward it on in a blog post just in case any of you are confronted with anyone spouting any of these inaccurate rants from the ignorant masquerading as the Stupid following the Pied Piper in the White House.

“If the Bush tax cuts were so great then why did our economy tank after 8 years of it?”

The Bush tax cuts helped stabilize the economy after the post-internet bubble and should have been allowed to sunset as it was originally passed; however, both parties were instrumental in its extension and it was a housing marketing scheme initialized during the Carter Administration and strengthened during the Clinton years that actually had more to do with the 2008 meltdown. A scheme addressed for removal by Bush in 2005, but fought for by Barney Frank and his pal Chris Dodd – LOOK IT UP.

“Time to pay the piper for two wars and those brainiacs who got us into this mess.”

I agree that putting two wars on a credit card was a bad idea; however, this one goes on both parties as they both voted for it…before they voted against it.

“I don't understand why so many middle class people want to protect these rich bastards who don't give two shits about you! It's not their sons and daughters fighting for your freedom.”

Actually, participation in the military, and the war, is based on desire to serve and/or better yourself. Statistically, percentage wise the numbers are a wash over who serves and who doesn’t. But service to the country is voluntary and regardless of whether there is a draft or not Democrats will always seek to cry the social justice foul over perceived inadequacies in military service.

“They aren't the ones trying to figure out how they are going to feed their children tomorrow! They aren't the ones sacrificing to put their kids through college!”

How come folks who come to America from thousands of miles away can always work however many jobs they need to meet whatever demands they have to in order to feed their children and put them through school, yet someone on welfare can’t walk their ass across the street to even feed theirs? If feeding children is such a problem, then you think the President would worry more about feeding them and less about universal Pre-K and government sponsored Wi-Fi.

“They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to people who figure out ways around tax codes to save millions! You think that money goes back in the economy? BS”

Republicans have been calling for tax reform and the flat tax for years, which by the way, is the only way to keep the rich from hiring tax attorney’s to get out of paying taxes. And since only about 51% of Americans actually pay taxes then why wouldn’t people who have to pay taxes work to find ways to pay the lowest amount they can regardless of their pay-grade?

Hope that helps a little!

My New Politically Incorrect Rant

In my new-found quest to remove the barriers created by the politically correct morons of our time, I am feeling a little chippy tonight and thought I would write a powerful and direct to the point rant. So I sat down and wrote this instead! I hope you enjoy it.

1.       When President Obama was first elected President he promised a transparent and open government the likes we have all wanted and not seen in this country; however, his Royal Transparency has once again missed the date to submit his annual Budget to the congress. Nothing like missing a constitutionally mandated requirement four out of five years that he has been in office. But with all his transparency, it’s really not necessary to worry about the legalities of everything.

Did someone just here a drone fly by?

2.       President Obama also promised the most color blind, all inclusive cabinet in the history of the presidentdom (I just coined a new word). To be honest, he tried hard his first term. Of course George W. Bush holds the record for minority appointments closely followed by Bill Clinton. But Barack has made up for that shortfall by nominating all white men this time around.……… Hmmm, heartwarming!!

3.       The Coalition for American-Islamic Relations, CAIR for short, was eight ways of upset with the Coca-Cola television ad from the Super Bowl. Their spokesmen got on all manner of airwaves to say how upset Islamic folks were with the proliferation of the stereotype of Arabs riding Camels and such. Of course his complaints sound credible until you realize CAIR is an organization of like almost 400 people founded by three members of the Islamic Association of Palestine, who has had a hard time since being reportedly linked with other groups raising money for Hamas. You remember Hamas, that silly group trying to destroy Israel and all traces of Western Civilization. Personally, I thought the Vegas showgirls in the ad were awesome!!

4.       Warning for smokers, Under ObamaCare your health insurance is going to go up by 50% according to various insurance companies and the Government Accountability Office. Woo-Hoo, Now to get after those pesky drinkers!!

5.       So let me get this straight. Most illegal aliens come to America because they are looking for a better life and don’t trust government – RIGHT! So as part of the “Pathway” to citizenship proposed by the President and Congress (aka the government), these same people have to turn themselves in, pay their back taxes plus a fine, and then get in the back of the immigration line. GEE, with their trust, or distrust of government I wonder how many of these folks will get past step number one – BRILLIANT!!

6.       Bouncy lip-synced the National Anthem at the Inauguration and sung at the Super Bowl. I could have cared less about her lip-syncing but after listening to her sing live at the Super Bowl, I think she should have lip-synced there too.

7.       Mr. Global-Warming himself, Al Gore has sold his liberal-spewing Current TV to the Al Jazeera, the network built by the oil-rich global warmers and used for terrorist propaganda proliferation! On the Bright side for old Al, now he has an estimated fortune in the neighborhood of $300 million; or about $70 million more than Mitt Romney – But who’s counting!!

Well that’s all for tonight. Have a nice sleep as you ponder my politically incorrect wisdom!!

Night Y’all,

Bill

Texas Football’s Legislative Loser of the Week

Rep. Ryan Guillen
(Texas House District 31)

So let’s get this straight. Apparently all the ducks of Texas legislative affairs are in a proverbial row to the extent that we can start worrying about the trivial issues affecting our great state.

Without using political parties in this post, State Representative Ryan Guillen (HD-31) who represents almost the entire rural area south of San Antonio has filed what apparently amounts to be the most influential piece of legislation of this session. In his own words, “I think the people of Texas want a game, and we’re trying to get them one.”

Have you guessed what this genius filed as his earth-shattering piece of legislation? Yes, he filed House Bill 778 which would seek to force the University of Texas and Texas A&M to renew their rivalry in college football. His bill deals out the punishment of losing all their scholarships should one of the teams not agree to participate. Apparently that is the life-affirming necessity that all of us Texans require for proper stability of our cooperative equilibriums.

Regardless of where you stand on whether other former conference foes have a game with Texas A&M, that is an irrelevant point in this discussion. The point here is that we as a state, and especially in the country, are in need of serious legislators who are in Austin to properly legislate the state and not there to put up ridiculous shots at sad ending to a once-proud rivalry. Whether the University of Texas ever agrees to play Texas A&M again is solely and completely up to them. The state House of Representatives is not the place to settle that.

During a typical legislative session there are thousands of items of legislation that are filed in the Texas House alone and roughly only four months to settle them all. So regardless of whether this is a serious bill or just a symbolic attempt to make a point, the time in which the Texas legislature is in session is short and there is no time for these sort of idiotic and petty measures.

That is the reason that Representative Ryan Guillen wins this week’s Legislative Loser of the Week.

Congratulations,

Bill
