I know exactly what happened in Benghazi.  I wasn’t there.  I haven’t even read extensively about it.  But a thinking person who is aware of the forces of evil at work in this world doesn’t need a road map to see which way things are going.

Obama and his communist cohorts were intending to use their exploits in Libya as the centerpiece of their foreign policy argument for his reelection.  They would say that Obama had deposed the ruthless and dangerous dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, banished al-Qaeda from the region, and opened the country to free and democratic reforms.  They would claim that they had transformed Libya from an untrustworthy foe to a potentially valuable friend.  Then al-Quaeda burst their bubble by attacking our embassy in Benghazi, killing our Ambassador and three other Americans.  Oops!

Our embassy was attacked on 9-11.  The prresidential foreign policy debate was scheduled for 10-11.  Obama and his henchmen had 30 days in which to try and repair the political damage caused by the Benghazi attack, and to explain how the attack and deaths were not their responsibility.  That’s when they discovered the convenient existence of the “Innocence of Muslims,” a 13-minute anti-Islam YouTube video produced by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, an Egyptian-born U.S. resident and Coptic Christian.  But of course!  The Benghazi attack must have been a spontaneous demonstration arising out of the furor and insult caused by Nakoula’s video.  In other words, the attack must have been an understandable reaction to American Christian insensitivity to Muslims.  Again, a 9-11 attack that was “our fault.”

But there is a problem.  The “demonstrators” had never heard of the video.  And, it was al-Qaeda leading the attack shouting “We are all Osama,” referring to the United States’ killing of al-Quaeda leader Osama bin Laden.  Furthermore, Obama and his White House and State Department flunkies knew that it was an al-Quaeda terrorist attack even while the attack was in progress.  Worse, they had reliable intel that the attack was going to take place but refused repeated requests to increase security.  Even worse than that, they ordered our assets in the region to “stand down” and not go to the assistance of the Ambassador and his embattled staff, thereby allowing them to be killed.

How could something so egregious happen?  How could a U.S. President and administration turn their backs on an Embassy like that?  The answer is simple if you understand the liberal (communist) mindset.  They start with the result they want, then force the “facts” to get there.  In this case, they wanted a successful policy result in Libya.  So, first they refused to acknowledge the fact of an al-Quaeda attack.  Then they forced the Nakoula video into the factual circumstances to explain the attack on our embassy.  This is nothing new.  It happens all the time.  Even in the most trivial situations.

Last week a conservative friend of mine collected $92.00 from raffle ticket sales at a community fair.  He gave the box containing the money to the liberal organizer and liberal treasurer, telling them that there was $92.00 dollars in the box.  They reported back after a day or two that $70.00 had been collected for raffle tickets.  My friend complained.  They redid their accounting and reported that $86.00 had been collected for raffle tickets.  My friend complained again.  This time they explained:  They had carefully accounted for money collected from all other sources, so whatever difference they had must be attributed to raffle ticket sales.  Never mind that there was $92.00 in the box.  They didn’t care what was in the box.  They only cared about arriving at a conclusion that corresponded with their desired result.  That’s the liberal way.

Unfortunately, in the Benghazi case, it was an Ambassador and three other dead Americans who were in the box.

I was going to ignore all this despicable NAZI, Hitler nonsense.  But alas, it’s just to much for me to ignore.

Today on Drudge I see this: “Dean of Democratic delegation makes Hitler reference when speaking about Republicans’ agenda.” (http://www.kansas.com/2012/09/04/2474417/kansas-delegates-head-to-nc-for.html)

I want to remind everyone that Hitler was a socialist, just like Obama, and Pelosi, and Reid are socialists.  Do you want to know why conservatives and Republicans hate socialism and socialists?  Well, one reason is that Hitler was swept into power at the head of the National German Socialist Party.  That’s what “NAZI” stands for.  It is an acronym for the German name of his party.  Need I also remind anyone that Stalin, perhaps the bloodiest butcher of the 20th Century, headed up the Union Of Soviet Socialists Republic?  Another “socialist.”

So, all of those feather headed, ignorant, loud mouthed liberal leftists out there can just shut up about conservatives and Republicans being anything like Hitler.  They’re not.  Conservatism is just about the complete opposite of socialism, and any good conservative is just about the compete opposite of Hitler or Stalin.  Unfortunately, American liberalism and liberal leftists are much more closely related to those madmen than are any American conservatives.

Obama and his socialist, communist henchmen want to destroy America and enslave the American people.  Just like Hitler did in Germany.  Just like Stalin did in Russia.  Just like every socialist dreams of doing wherever he lives.  Don’t let it happen.

According to today’s white house blog, the Department of Transportation is reporting that they have found $473 million in transportation funds that have been just sort of laying around doing nothing. They’re all excited at the prospect of giving the money back to the States to be spent on construction work. But, before we all go on an extended celebration party cruise, let’s take a look at what this really means.

Just how far will $473 million go toward building new roads? “The cost to construct one lane-mile of a typical 4-lane divided highway can range from $3.1 million to $9.1 million per lane-mile in rural areas depending on terrain type and $4.9 million to $19.5 million in urban areas depending on population size. However, in urban areas restrictions (high cost of additional right-of-way, major utility relocation, high volume traffic control, evening work restrictions, etc.) may increase the cost per lane-mile. If restrictions exist the cost to construct one lane-mile of a 4-lane divided highway can range from $16.8 million to $74.7 million.” (http://www.railstotrails.org/resources/documents/whatwedo/policy/07-29-2008%20Generic%20Response%20to%20Cost%20per%20Lane%20Mile%20for%20widening%20and%20new%20construction.pdf) So, you can see that $473 million dollars isn’t going to build much road nationwide. Of course it could be used for repairs to existing roads and infrastructure, but again, it isn’t going to go very far in terms of fixing things up nationwide.

What is significant here is the information that this money has just been languishing on the books. What’s Obama’s excuse for not getting people out to work with it sooner?  Why wait three and a half years? Also significant is the fact that the federal government is giving the money back to the States to be spent. That tells me that Obama has no grip on the situation sufficient to allow him to allocate the expenditure. He has no idea what to do with the money.

Finally, there is no indication that this money will be used to put the unemployed back to work. It more likely will be spent to fund construction projects to be performed by workers already employed by contracting firms working for the various States. If it will create new jobs, that information is missing from the white house bolt post.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to wake up one morning and discover $473 million in your bank account that you hadn’t realized was there? That would never happen to me, nor to any company I ran. But I guess for our government it’s just another day at the office.

Now the white house is celebrating “a banner year for the U.S. wind industry.” Gee, that’s just great! But what about having a banner year for the U.S. steel industry, or the U.S. auto industry, or the U.S. oil industry, or any other U.S. industry you can think of which actually makes a difference? Sorry, those industries just aren’t making it. No “banner year” for them. Not under our commie President’s regime.

But what about the wind industry? Why are they calling this a “banner year” for it? Well, when you read the white house blog post, you discover that there really isn’t any cause for celebration.  Obama cites that “wind energy contributed 32 percent of all new U.S. electric capacity additions last year, representing $14 billion in new investment.” That’s the great achievement. 32 percent of an unspecified number of additions, at the terrific cost of $14 billion. That tells us nothing. How much per kilowatt hour are we paying for wind energy? How much of our total energy requirement is being met by wind energy? How much government subsidy is necessary to sustain the wind energy industry? And, for the benefit of those feather headed global warming fanatics out there, exactly how much greener, if any, is wind energy?

The white house provides none of those answers. They can’t, because the answers would be devastating to their green energy, global warming agenda. They are desperate to continue the fraud, so they can’t tell the truth.

But the truth is available to those who seek it. Check the  ”Levelized Cost of Electricity for Nuclear, Coal, Gas, and Onshore Wind Power Plants” at http://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Wind-Power/Wind-Energy-Hype-IEA-Study-Reveals-The-Real-Cost-Of-Wind-Power.html. You can see that wind energy is running dead last behind all other forms of energy production.  Or, look at the British experience with their very extensive wind energy program. There, a very credible study determined that “the same amount of electricity could be generated using open cycle gas plants at one-tenth the cost of using wind turbines.” (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/03/07/wind_power_how_much/) Yes, natural gas produces power at one tenth the cost of wind farms. One tenth!

Guess which country is sitting on one of the worlds largest natural gas reserves? That’s right, we are. (http://www.aga.org/Newsroom/news-releases/2012/Pages/US_Natural_Gas_Reserves_At_Record_Levels.aspx) About 300 Trillion Cubic Feet, and our reserve is growing as more is discovered than is being used.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Obama and his cohorts have their own agenda, one that doesn’t run to the benefit of the American energy consumer. That’s you and me, by the way. Again it’s amply illustrated that our commie President is out to destroy us.

Today’s headline: Biden on Romney: ‘They’re going to put y’all back in chains’

Now isn’t that just the stupidest thing you’ve ever heard? Commie wannabe muslim President Obama’s VP saying that Romney wants to put someone in chains. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! This is a classic.

Obama leads a totalitarian socialist, call it communist, movement that’s overtaken the Democratic Party. Romney is the standard bearer for the Republican Party which is still, if only by the skin of its teeth, a party of true Americans dedicated to the traditional principles of our constitutional republic. Ask yourself, who puts people in chains, communists or American patriots?

President Reagan forced the Soviet Union to tear down the Berlin Wall. The wall was there for only one purpose, to imprison the people of East Berlin. That entire population was in communist chains. Reagan called the Soviet Union “the evil empire.” That wasn’t a carelessly chosen or glib description. Communism is by definition, evil. It is atheist. It denies individual rights and freedom. It imposes government as the ultimate authority over everything. In short, it operates by fettering the people in totalitarian chains.

As far as the history of America goes, everyone should know that it was the Republicans in Congress that forced through all of the crucial civil rights legislation that has freed black people in this country. Obama and Biden’s party, the Democrats, fought it tooth and nail. They opposed it. As always, the liberal left wanted to keep the people in chains.

So, Mr. Biden, you’re full of it.

Today on The Drudge Report I noticed the following headlines listed, one after the other:

OBAMA: ‘A New America In Which Prosperity Is Shared’…

RYAN: ‘We promise equal opportunity, not equal outcomes’…

Usually I’m suspicious of headlines, knowing that they are written with the specific intention of roping in the reader. In fact, headline writers of late have started filing their headlines with misleading, if not downright untrue “facts” or conclusions in order to influence even those who don’t read the article itself. But these headlines are simple and true, and quite revealing.

The problem with much radical leftist rhetoric is that at first blush it seems positive, even up lifting. Here, Obama is quoted as wanting to change America to a land of “shared” prosperity. We all know that prosperity is a good thing. So, what could possible be wrong with sharing it? But, wait a minute. “Prosperity” is just a word that describes the condition of having things; money, food, clothing, and other property. So what Obama is really saying, is that you should be forced by the government to share your stuff with everyone else. That’s his “New America,” a place where what’s yours actually belongs to everyone. So, are you OK with that idea? Are you willing to share your bank account, house, car, and everything else with people you don’t even know? To share with people who didn’t earn anything like it for themselves? Or, do you want to keep what you’ve earned for yourself and your family? I suspect your answer will be “yes” to keeping your own stuff. If so, you are not a communist, and you should immediately know why I say that Obama is a communist. No more really needs to be said.

Ryan’s quote promises equal “opportunity, not equal outcomes.” I should point out that Obama’s “shared prosperity” is actually about equal outcomes. In Obama’s “New America,” no matter how hard you work, no matter how smart you are, no matter how much you sacrifice, your outcome will be the same as everyone else’s. That’s  shared prosperity. But Ryan is not promising any sort of outcome. Under Ryan’s plan, you are responsible for your own outcome, and whatever it is, it is yours and you don’t have to share it with anyone. What Ryan is promising is that everyone will have an equal opportunity to achieve prosperity. And that’s the true American way, the way of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. That’s what was meant by the “self evident” truths that “all men are created equal.” It’s about equal opportunity, not about equal outcomes. Ryan’s vision is of a rich vibrant energetic society where every citizen is busily engaged in improving his lot in life. There would be as many levels of prosperity as there are individuals pursuing their God given rights. Obama’s plan results in a poor dull sluggish America of the lowest common denominator, where everyone does as little as possible to get by because the rewards are the same, regardless of individual effort.

For an American who knows his country, this is an easy choice. No real American would ever want what Obama is offering.

From ” Remarks by the President at Iftar Dinner” as posted on the white house blog:

“…..during Ramadan, we see the traditions that are shared by many faiths: …. People of different faiths coming together, mindful of our obligations to one another — to peace, justice and dignity for all people — men and women. Indeed, you know that the Koran teaches, “Be it man or woman, each of you is equal to the other.”

“More broadly, we’ve seen the extraordinary courage of Muslim women during the Arab Spring …. facing down tanks, and braving bullets, enduring detentions and unspeakable treatment, and at times, giving their very lives for the freedom that they seek ….”

Really? What kind of idiots do you take us for, Mr. commie wannabe muslum President? You can’t fool us into believing it’s both ways. Islam can’t be the religion of peace, offering “justice and dignity for all people,” and be torturing and gunning down its women at the same time. Either your rhetoric is wrong, or your facts are wrong. And I believe that decades of female corpses and mutilated bodies speak louder than your sissified muslim apologetics.

Only your starry eyed, brain dead followers could listen to this drivel without realizing its glaring internal inconsistency. No one who can think for themselves could miss it. But then again, it’s not in the best interests of your totalitarian socialist agenda to have a thinking audience, is it?

Today our commie wannabe muslim president signed an Executive Order concerning violence against women and girls. The White House blog posting cites examples of an Afghani girl who was terribly abused by her father, and “honor” killings. What’s missing from the blog post and from the Executive Order is any mention whatsoever of islam or muslims. Obama consistently tiptoes around the islamic elephant in the living room, no matter how egregious the issue.

No one in their right mind is going to take any effort to curtail gender violence seriously if it doesn’t address islamic practices degrading, injuring, and even killing women. Those muslim practices must be condemned, and islam must be held accountable before any such program will succeed. Obviously, our muslim sympathizing commie president isn’t going to do that. So this Executive Order, and the program it initiates, is doomed to failure from the start.

This isn’t about helping women. This is nothing but a cheap political ploy to appease the feminists who are part of Obama’s radical left constuency. No doubt lots of federal money will be dumped on any number of their feminist organizations.  And much of that money will undoubtedly find its way back to fund Obsma’s campaign. In reality, this could be seen as nothing more than another liberal money laundering scheme. How cruel!

Every so often some mental defective or jihadist (if there’s any difference) shoots up a bunch of innocent people. When that happens, radical leftists have a field day. They send out all their so called “gun control” advocates to whoop and holler about how all those terrible guns should be banned. It’s as predictable as Obama laughing about his birth certificate.

The essence of all commie gun control rhetoric is that episodes of senseless killing justifies banning guns. I’m here to say they’re wrong. If a hundred or even a thousand times more innocents were killed, it would still not justify banning guns. Gun bans are the ultimate form of totalitarian regulation meant to subjugate the people to the tyranny of a dictatorial government. All around the world people are slaves to their governments. Only in America are the people free to own and carry firearms. The 2nd Amendment is the cornerstone of our Constitution, and the hallmark of our free republic.

But it is true that something needs to be done. In all the cases I’ve seen, the psychopath or terrorist has struck in his own backyard after a long period of abnormal behavior. Usually, within a week or two we see stories about how he was reported by someone as being a potential problem, or under suspicion, or being on some watch list or other. But, no one had done anything about it. The perpetrator has always been observed by others; teachers, ministers, family, friends. There are always responsible adults who could have intervened, but didn’t. There is always law enforcement or social service agencies that could have intervened, but didn’t. That’s what has to stop.

There are laws of privacy and due process and so forth that are problematical when it comes to investigating and intervening in the lives of others. But carving out due process exceptions, and authorizing public agencies to make critical evaluations is a far better, and a lot more feasible, than considering the possibility of disarming Americans. The crazy people who commit these atrocities don’t act overnight. There is plenty of time for them to be noticed and stopped before these things happen. That’s where the emphasis should be placed, not on disarming the American people.

But the bottom line is that commie leftists don’t really care about the victims, or what would work best to ameliorate the problem. Their agenda is political. They want to subjugate the American people to a totalitarian socialist government. To do that, they first need to disarm the people. So whenever one of these atrocities occurs, they will redouble their efforts to promote their so called “gun control” measures.

Are you a citizen of the United States of America, “Yes,” or “No?” That’s the tricky question being posed to would be voters across our land this election season. How unfair is that! Ask them if they are 1/32 American Indian, or if they have “slave blood,” or if Romney paid any taxes in the last 10 years, and you will get an immediate answer. But ask if they are a citizen and they will balk and waiver, sometimes even fleeing the scene without answering the question at all.

According to CBS, would be voters in Lansing, Michigan were “turned away” from the primary election polls due to “confusion” created by the “citizenship” box on their ballot application. (See the article at:http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2012/08/07/voters-turned-away-as-citizenship-box-creates-confusion-at-the-polls/) It’s a real shame. Those poor folks who couldn’t figure out whether or not they are citizens were denied the chance to help determine our destiny with their votes. What a loss!

The right to vote is a right of citizenship. It’s not a right of residency. It’s not a right of race, color, or creed. It’s not a right of liberals or conservatives. It’s exclusively a right of citizenship. Citizenship is the only determining factor. You are either a citizen, or you are not. Which means you either have the right to vote, or you do not. It’s just that simple.

There is only one reasonable explanation why liberals are upset about voter registration, ID requirements, citizenship boxes on voter forms, etc. And that’s because they want non-citizens to vote. They want the votes they know their commie socialist candidates will get from illegal aliens seeking more and more free government benefits and ever laxer immigration controls. It’s nothing more than organized voter fraud, and should be investigated for prosecution under the RICO statutes.

Every American citizen should be up in arms over this outrage. Every vote cast by a non-citizen serves to disenfranchise every actual citizen voter. I’m sure there are many voting districts across America where the illegal voting block is sufficient to determine the outcome of local elections. And, nationwide, it is sufficient to influence the outcome of even our national elections. American citizens should demand that this stop at once. Every voter at every polling place everywhere in America should be required not only to attest to citizenship, but to actually prove citizenship on demand.
