The Gingerbread Man
American Thinker, by Clarice Feldman

Original Article

Posted By:steveW, 11/18/2012 3:55:44 AM

Do you remember the tale of "The Gingerbread Man"? It´s a children´s story in which a gingerbread man runs away from the baker, lots of people try to catch him as he crows, "Run, run as fast as you can/ You can´t catch me I´m the gingerbread man." In the version I remember a fox finally does catch the braggart and eats him piece by piece. This week, in defending the public statements of his UN Ambassador Susan Rice, Obama said we should come after him, not her. Pugnacious remark -- just like the gingerbread man´s.

Comments:
A dead ambassador. A reelected "president". An impeachable offense.
And yet, the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam...

Holy Moly... what a tangled web of lies!

Clarice is right: it is up to Congress to press forth on the investigation & impeachment. The BIG question: are our guys up to it? Does anyone love America enough to fight for her ideals?

Turner Movies aired ´The Apartment´ today, with Jack Lemmon & Shirley McClaine. Released in 1960, it seems like a million years ago. Jack Lemmon is confronted by the same delimma: do I cover for my lying boss and get promoted, or do the right thing, and get fired?

Doing the ´right´ thing is often the hardest to do.

Are they,(the Congress)´up to it,Clarice rhetorically asks. Are we the people up to it? I think the answer in both cases is a resounding and discouraged no. We the people lap up made-for-daytime TV sex scandals, but have no stomach for the more sinister underpinnings. Bread and Circuses.

By the time the "pack of lies" is unravelled most of the brain dead in this country will have lost interest and the takers who voted for Obama never did care.

With the msm continuing to ignore BenghaziGate, it will be squarely on Boehner´s shoulders to expose the lies via committee hearings and to catch the Gingerbread Man. But, they must strike while the iron is hot. What would be helpful is for the investigation to examine communications between Obie and the msm so we can get a glimpse of the White House narratives that were passed to the msm so they could ignore Benghazi using a consistent approach.

Interesting to note that it was a FOX who was clever enough to nab the Gingerbread Man and eat him.


Reply 9 - Posted by: Dixie, 11/18/2012 8:11:24 AM     (No. 9021635)

The obvious first step for the House in order to get to the bottom of the Benghazi lies and cover-ups is to replace Boehner with Ryan.

But it seems that only Republican transgressions are aggressively pursued by the press anyway.

All we can hope for now is that the gingerbread man will throw the press under the bus with all the others. Because unlike the CIA, FBI and all diplomats, the press doesn´t take their paycheck from the gingerbread man and should feel no obligation to lie for him. So perhaps if the press could feel thrown under the bus, the thrill up their leg would subside, and they WOULD DO THEIR STINKIN´ JOB to save this republic.

Wouldn´t the fox be guilty of attacking a man of color? And btw, "braggart"? More like swagger.

There won´t be any impeachment, Harry Reid will refuse to bring it to vote, like he´s done many times before.

Don´t think for a moment that The House will ask for impeachment. I personally hope he takes up smoking again, and we can make him the first Muslim saint.


Reply 16 - Posted by: planetgeo, 11/18/2012 8:49:58 AM     (No. 9021700)

Actually, there very well could be an impeachment. The House votes to impeach. The Senate then votes to remove. Bill Clinton was in fact impeached. And that did limit and restricted the scope of what he did in the remaining years of his second term. The same is possible with Obama.


Reply 17 - Posted by: Maybeth, 11/18/2012 9:03:16 AM     (No. 9021723)

Take up smoking again?
Did you really he quit?

In the recent election, it became obvious that many of our elected representatives are really selected. By voter fraud. And the MSM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party. Increasingly, FOX has become part of that MSM.

Is there anything We The People can do to make the truth known and to hold evildoers to account?


Reply 20 - Posted by: dogbreath, 11/18/2012 9:38:59 AM     (No. 9021789)

Under a libertarian president we would not be about to go over a fiscal cliff, We would mired in no foreign entanglements, obligated to mo crowns. We would police no one, least of all ourselves. We would rid of income tax, standing armies. Money would belong to free individuals. The government would stand out of the way of commerce, the only real holy granted us by the almighty. We would free to raise our children as we saw fit, and not have to send them off to foreign lands to die for any elected blusterer. We are meant to free.

#8, clever. Now let´s hope FoxNews stays with the story, though other so-called news organizations let it fade (after they failed to grab Benghazi by the teeth in the first place).

With the brilliant reporting by Jennifer Griffin and Catherine Herridge, I suspect that FoxNews execs are able see the bigger picture, and won´t let go.

Remember how the Watergate scandal (a relatively small matter, by comparison to Benghazi) took months to develop into The Political Crime of the Century.

Trey Gowdey, Jason Chaffetz, Jim Jordan aquitted themselves splendidly in the House Oversight Committee Hearing on Benghazi. But I don´t see any of them on the committees currently holding hearings.

So how do we get any or all of them in a position to do the questioning? The investigation?

The blacks in this country will riot all over this nation if this president was ever impeached. I really don´t care, I´m just sayin´.


Reply 25 - Posted by: enuf8, 11/18/2012 12:40:28 PM     (No. 9022133)

The best we can hope for is for Chaffez, Gomert, Gowdy, DeMint, to add Cruz to the vocal voices of the House and Senate. These men are not afraid to make what are not P.C. comments. Perhaps it might give a few others on the House and Senate committees investigating these matters a bit of backbone.
All of the investigations will have to begin anew once the new Congress is sworn in. Time for them to stop pussy-footing around and convict Holder for Fast and Furious and obama for gun-running in Lybia and Syria. Associations of the WH, State and anyone else with the Muslim Brotherhood needs to be flushed out as well.

# 24 Blacks only make up 13 % of the population, although I bet they think they make up 80%.
So, riots would only be in limited areas , not nationwide.
Obama has never answered
for his very restrictive rules of engagement in Afghanistan
which has limited the ability of
our troops to defend themselves.
And set up the record number of US troop deaths since he became CINC.
Another fact ignored by the media.
Obama was also MIA ala Benghazi during the attempted bombing of a NWA jet on Christmas Day 2009.
He was made aware three hours after the jet landed in Detroit.
Three hours ! Another fact ignored by the media.
I bet this guy is often missing because he´s drunk or doped up or otherwise engaged.
Reggie Love was definitely with him on Christmas Day 2009.
The House has an obligation to investigate Obama´s bizarre behavior
on so many fronts .
The media never will , other than the two women at FOX.
Lying , covering up and being derelict appears to
meet the threshold of impeachment.
The Senate will never convict and remove, but, the House has the moral and legal obligation to consider impeachment.

They house Republicans need to keep this on the front burner for as long as the Dems did with Watergate. I´m tired of seeing them cave.

if this ´´investigation´´ really grows legs, if the Republicans really grow cojones, then Katherine Herridge and Jennifer Griffin might become the new Woodward and Bernstein.

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation."

It´s a perennial favorite of scammers to claim we face pending doom that can be averted only if we quickly send them more money or do what they want us to. From The Music Man´s "Ya Got Trouble" to the emails purporting to be from family members who´ve been robbed or imprisoned overseas, the game is a constant money maker for the con men who employ it. Count President Obama as one of the masters of the art of diverting attention from facts, crying doom and grabbing yet more money from our pockets to enrich his buddies

Let’s take a step back and recognize the breadth and width of the Obama administration’s assault on the US economy. We tend to divide ourselves along economic lines, upper, middle and lower or working class. It’s clear that Barack Obama has a plan for all three levels. If you’re a top earner, in his mind you’ve “made enough money” and should pay more in taxes. That’s his plan for the wealthy: Pay more taxes. This will take some money out of investments and companies and send it to the government. Some jobs will be either lost or aborted.

One of the least remarked upon aspects of President Obama’s inaugural speech was his attempt to co-opt the Founding Fathers’ Declaration of Independence to bolster his liberal-left agenda. Sure, the president quoted one of the most important sentences in world history: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” So far, so good.

In college I read a novel called The Last of the Just by André Schwarz-Bart inspired by a legend/theory from the Talmud — that there are thirty-six righteous souls (the Lamed Vav) in every generation whose existence justifies “the purpose of mankind” to God. From Wikipedia: As a mystical concept, the number 36 is even more intriguing. It is said that at all times there are 36 special people in the world, and that were it not for them, all of them, if even one of them was missing, the world would come to an end.

The 2008 and 2012 elections have revealed that an escalating number, perhaps a majority, of Americans are comfortable with the concept of transforming the United States into a Euro-Socialist democracy. While this may be easily sold to an increasingly ill-educated populace by those desirous of capturing political power, the reality is far different when it comes to the price to be paid. A price that is not only monetary but societal as well. Yet there is no party in this nation willing, regardless of the political cost

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.
