'US must ignore violence
to boost ME democracies'

Reuters, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:BuckeyeRon, 10/13/2012 10:57:25 AM

Washington-The United States must look past the violence and extremism that has erupted after the "Arab Spring" revolutions and boost support for the region's young democracies to forge long-term security, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday. Clinton, seeking to reinforce the Obama administration's Middle East policy following a wave of anti-American violence and last month's deadly attack on the US mission in Benghazi, Libya, said Washington cannot be deterred by "the violent acts of a small number of extremists." "We recognize that these transitions are not America's to manage, and certainly not ours to win or lose,"

"But we have to stand with those who are working every day to strengthen democratic institutions, defend universal rights, and drive inclusive economic growth. That will produce more capable partners and more durable security over the long term." Clinton said
Tell that to the four dead Americans.

Her Thighness is reading from a script that's over a year old. We are witnessing the rise of islamic fundementalism which is nothing but a thin veneer for murdering Muslim savagery. Where the hell has this woman been and what the hell is she smoking?
This statement has Huma Abedin written all over it.

You see we the little people are not seeing the Big picture.....

At least she will be gone soon. Hopefully Mitt will clean out the State dept.

Hillary needs to change her hairstylist and her politics ( she looks like a crone).
A strong United States is the only route to peace in the world. Without a strong US, every little two-bit tyrant will think he can attack without retaliation.
Without US leadership, pretty soon the world will be in chaos.

Thanks to Hillary and Zero!!

She is not altogether wrong on each and every issue, but O! O! she is SUCH an annoying person! How sweet and fitting 'twill be when we are no longer hectored and lectured by her and people like her, people who have never done or accomplished a single meritorious thing or distinguished themselves in any way during their whole lives, people who have coasted, been carried, promoted, given a free pass and ridden on the shoulders and coattails of others to get where they are. People who are head over heels in love with themselves and their exalted principles.

There is hope. She cannot live forever, neither in the flesh nor in public life. Not even Jimmy Carter can live forever. The trouble is that it precisely people like these, people of no real substance or accomplishment or wisdom, who are the most tenacious in clinging to the public eye. This is a definite characteristic of Democrats. They never just fade away. They keep right on blabbing and scolding and finger pointing to their very last breath.

If you wanted to start trouble in, say, Benghazi and have it spread around the world, well, you know most of the details--that is how you would go about it.

If you wanted to lose a presidential debate, you would go about it as Obama did at his last debate.

Ditto for the above, except insert "vice-" and Biden in the appropriate places.

If you wanted to really anger Hillary Clinton, you would blame everything surrounding the Benghazi Bungle on State

If you wanted to encourage more attacks on our installations in foreign countries and in the United States, this article explains how you would go about it.

The list can go on, ad nauseum.

Why?

It's not that I'm paranoid, but I think they're out to get us.

P.S. To what Middle Eastern democracies is Clinton referring? Name just one.

Even using the term "democracy" loosely, there sill never be anything that even vaguely resembles democracy in the Middle East. Never.

Sooner or later, we adn the rest of the Free World [what's left of it] will come to the realization that that it's kill or be killed when Islam is involved.

Just look at Old Mother England and what Islam has destroyed in that benighted island.

Canada now has Sharia law as a part of its court system.

I don't know if this nation can survive Islam. In another hundred or so years, we may be living under Islam Rule, given the show of guts by our "leaders."

Christian churches in Dearborn, Michigan can no longer ring the church bells in that town. It's offensive to Islam.

Coming from the same people who ridiculed Bush for middle east democracy dreams.These were fake democratic efforts pushed by Islamists and given a green light by Obama.

There's no reason they couldn't have given Mubarak or Gadaffi 6 months to start election reforms and a more participative government.

I'll bet half the people in these countries wish they had the old way back.

Back when Turkey adopted secularism as it's government style,it could have been a model for the rest of these countries. Too bad Turkey has sold out to the Islamists but they're still moderate compared to the muslim brotherhood,hezbollah and hamas.

Asian-American lawmakers and advocates are troubled by changes to family-sponsored visas in the Senate’s immigration bill. The legislation’s new merit-based visa program has not won over critics who are worried that tweaks to the visa petition process could keep immigrant families apart. Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.), co-chairman of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus’s (CAPAC) immigration taskforce, is among those concerned about the Senate bill’s treatment of family-sponsored visas. “I support family reunification.

President Barack Obama has talked tough in trying to dissuade Syrian President Bashar Assad from using chemical weapons against the rebels in Syria’s civil war, warning it would be a “red line” and a “game changer.” Now, Assad has called his bluff, and Obama wants time and space to decide what comes next. The White House said in a letter to Congress on Thursday that U.S. intelligence officials believe “with varying degrees of confidence” that Assad has used the nerve agent sarin, based on the results of “physiological samples.” But the administration did not place the U.S. on the brink

The unfailing reverence on the American right for Ronald Reagan is understandable. He was the only exemplar of modern conservatism to win the White House, and unlike liberal icons such as Roosevelt or Johnson or Obama, he presided over an economic boom and became beloved by voters not normally drawn to his party. No wonder that Reagan, long before his death in 2004, attained mythical status in the conservative movement and the Republican Party. But that myth has become a burden for the modern GOP. It has bound Reagan’s followers on the right to policies and positions that were

Tuesday morning, a peculiar announcement trickled out of the White House press office: President Barack Obama would be holding a moment of silence for the victims of the Boston bombings. At the White House. By himself. No press or other intruders allowed. That Obama assumed Americans would want an iconic photo of him privately mourning the victims of the bombings was emblematic of a kind of hubris that has enveloped the president and his White House as the president commences his second term.

Unlike you, federal government officials are immune from charges of fraud. The executive branch, vested with all of the government’s prosecutorial authority and discretion, is not going to investigate its own operatives for carrying out its own mendacious policies.That is the story of last week’s Boston Marathon bombing and the frantic efforts of the bombers, the brothers Tsarnaev, to evade capture, shoot it out with police (two of whom they killed), and — we’re now told — detonate more bombs in Times Square. The Times Square non-attack is quite interesting.

President Obama´s weekly remarks: Hi, everybody. Our top priority as a nation must be growing the economy, creating good jobs, and rebuilding opportunity for the middle class. But two months ago, Congress allowed a series of automatic budget cuts to fall across the federal government that would do the opposite. In Washington-speak, these cuts were called the “sequester.” It was a bad idea then. And as the country saw this week, it’s a bad idea now. Because of these reckless cuts, there are parents whose kids just got kicked out of Head Start programs scrambling for a solution.

Speaking a day after the disclosure of U.S. intelligence that Syria had likely used chemical weapons against its own people, Obama talked tough while calling for patience as he sought to fend off pressure for a swift response against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The Democrats proposed sequestration as part of a package to secure an increase in the debt ceiling, but they never expected it to go into effect. When it did, they felt double-crossed, apparently because they thought Republicans owed it to them to fold like a cheap suit, as usual. When the Republicans figured out that sticking with the sequester was a pretty good outcome–it represented a modest, but real, restraint on federal spending, which is what Republicans always say they want–the Democrats went to Plan B. It’s a strategy they have often used before: cut back
