| There is something particularly ugly in a democratic society when government officials lie — or in the case in point, tell half-truths. Last week in the wake of a damning report on how some State Department officials handled the security situation at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi prior to and after Sept. 11, it was announced that four officials had resigned. Well, at least that’s what most of us thought they had announced. This is the way State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland put it: that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “has accepted Eric Boswell’s decision to resign

A little too little, a little to late. And this from the state that elected a woman who claimed to be "native American" and a lawyer, but is neither.
The MSM is culpable in every aspect of what´s happening to our country. They have traded integrity for cheap, soon-to-be confiscated power. Fools! No sympathy for the BH or any other MSM.

Are we surprised they lied about the response?

So Hitlery is out of commission ... and out of sight ... because of a bump on her head? What a perfect time to get a face lift or botox! If this "bimp" is serious enough to warrant missing work for weeks then it is serious enough for a hospital. However, diplomatic flu is never about being sick. It´s about not wanting to do something and it´s a good excuse. Whether she´s still SOS or not --- put her under oath anyway!

Creepy beyond belief.
The very hallmark of insanity is the active avoidance of reality....the obsessive lying and misdirection....the feigned outrage and anger at any who dare stray close to speaking the truth.
Add in the power of the mob under the guidance of a charismatic but bat-chit crazy dictator and we have all the ingredients for a very toxic soup indeed.

Our Service men and women deserve the truth about Benghazi and IF THEY ARE GOING TO RECEIVE ADEQUATE BACK-UP when they are under fire. I´m not sure they can count on anything.

I really don´t care if the four designated scapegoats are actually leaving their jobs. They will accomplish the same amount of useful work for the American people whether they are present or not.
I do want to see the SOS and the lying POS who dares to call himself a CIC boiled in oil for enabling and witnessing the murders of four of our countrymen without doing anything about it. They are ultimately responsible and anybody who calls himself an American, man or woman, should admit it and preferably resign in disgrace.

Maybe it was just that whatever conservative media that remains did not fully understand the language that the State Department spokes-lady used when she reported that those bureaucrats had resigned. Like they always do in bureaucracies, is have an exposed incompetent who is causing the big wigs problems after being identified, simply move to another position or billet and then start again.
Those people holding down high level positions within the State Dept. are always politically wired, in this administration most are Democrats, and they are not going to be kicked out of the Department just because they were exposed as being incompetent by some Republican politicians and conservative friendly media.

I would bet that the reason Hillary has put off her testifying is to get her story straight. They getting ready to come after Obama. He committed a crime and they´re going to get him. I believe there are enough Dem´s to go along with impeachment. Notice that Holder wants out and that EPA phony EPS chief wants out before they can holder her accountable for all of the email aliases.

Ghaddafi was a dictator but a friend. Obama bombed Libya without Congressional approval and he should be Impeached. Ghaddafi was a pragmatists. He would not have allowed four brave Americans get trapped in Benghazi and get murdered. I don´t know know if Hillary is incompetent or just a communist. I bet that if Obama had been informed that the four trapped Americans in Benghazi were blacks he would have send gunship to help them right away.

By their fruits you shall know them! What are their children like? Do they always preach one way and live another?
Our country has changed! I remember when a handshake was a contract! People could be trusted and admired for their honesty and faithfulness.
Today the only sin seems to be getting caught!
What a day it will be when we all stand before our Maker. What will He have to say about our actions? Take your pick: Welcome, good and faithful servant or depart from Me, I never knew you!
Guess heaven isn´t important anymore to those who think they can live any way they want and still inherit what we gained through Faith/Trust in Almighty God, not living according to political correctness!
Guess they wouldn´t like heaven anyway. God alone is in control and guess what, we will be full of Joy/Peace/Love, something this administration cannot give.
Pray for America! We need God to lead US!

Thank you Boston Herald.
Plus, I find it most interesting/disturbing, to compare the two Americas... in light of Judge Robert Bork´s recent death. The result of his confirmation hearings was the introduction of a new term: ´to bork´. Meaning the destruction a man´s reputation by lying about his character.
What we have now, is the Obama Administration, in which one could (hopefully) destroy a man or woman´s reputation by telling the TRUTH about their character.
Once we could ask the question: "Have you no shame?" and elicit a shameful response.
With todays´ Liberals, there simply is NO sense of shame within them.

If America were a bus, Deneen Borelli would be the new Rosa Parks. Borelli is the very model of a human being, an African American and a woman who is just plain tired up to here at all of the back of the bus treatment dished by liberals — black and white alike — to conservatives who happen to be black. Ms. Borelli has in a figurative sense, as Rosa Parks did in the original and literal sense, sat down in a seat reserved for liberals at the front of the American bus.

The impending policies of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will affect individual farmers and their employees. There are an estimated 600,000 crop workers and roughly 20,000 livestock workers in California at a given time. For every job in farming, the industry creates two to three nonfarming jobs. It´s an industry that should thrive in California, where the climate is kind.(Snip)"There´s nothing affordable about the Affordable Care Act," Tom Nassif said to us; he´s president and CEO of Western Growers, an advocacy group representing area and regional family farmers in Arizona and California.

A country that stakes its future on lies will not have one. The fashionable lie of the moment is “gay marriage.” The push to deprive children of mothers and fathers for the sake of “genderless” marriage has never been stronger. The media propaganda about its “inevitability” is unremitting. One would think, judging by all the triumphant rhetoric heard this week, that over 30 states had approved it. In fact, over 30 states have banned it. According to the Washington Post, which just a few weeks ago was categorizing Christians as racists, the issue is all settled and done.

It was bad enough for the Obama administration to earn an overall grade of C-minus on its level of transparency from the independent watchdog group Cause of Action. When coupled with evidence of what is being hidden, the information makes the administration look even worse. Cause of Action uses requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), lawsuits, and other tools to expose what it calls “job-killing federal government regulations, waste, fraud, and cronyism.” As has been reported by Caroline May at the Daily Caller and others, the organization last week issued a report called “Grading the Government,”

Want to know if Republicans finally back immigration reform, stand a chance of picking up Senate seats in the midterms, or get their act together by 2016? Instead of the GOP, watch the Rubio-Paul Party. Forget John Boehner. Ignore Karl Rove. The real action in the GOP is coming from the newest wing of the party, the one born in the spring of 2009 - the offspring of Tea Party activists that almost single-handedly propelled Republicans to control of the House.

The weasels who wrote the Obama health law postponed the pain until after the 2012 presidential election. Popular provisions were put into effect immediately, such as allowing children to stay on their parent’s plan until age 26, offering “free” colonoscopies and mammograms (in truth, forcing you to pay for them in your premium, whether you get them or not), and giving women the thrill of getting contraceptives at the drugstore without paying anything.

This may sound odd coming from someone who has spent his life working in political reporting, but I find it extremely sad when people can’t separate politics from the rest of their lives. I’m not talking about people getting worked up about politicians; we live in divided times, so things are bound to get heated when talking about elected officials. I’m talking about people who say “I want nothing to do with [Person X] because he is a conservative/liberal/Republican/Democrat in his personal life.” This is why I find the Orson Scott Card thing so frustrating.

Last week, President Obama told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that “we don’t have an immediate crisis in terms of debt.” It was par for the course (after all, he is almost always golfing) for the nation’s chief executive who just last year did not know the amount of our nation’s debt and made the preposterously naive statement that “a lot of it we owe to ourselves.” Apparently, our coming debt crisis is the only one Democrats do want to go to waste.

If President Obama’s rhetoric on domestic policy can be said to have a coherent theme, it involves his desire to use government to create a level playing field in which no single segment of the electorate enjoys unfair advantages or suffers disproportionate disadvantages in the pursuit of happiness. He is particularly concerned, he tells us, that the “rich” pay their fair share while poor and minority Americans receive their just due. Somehow, though, every policy decision made by his administration seems to tilt the playing field against the latter.

Celebrities are now upset about fracking, the injection of chemicals into the ground to crack rocks to release oil and gas. With everyone saying they want alternatives to foreign oil, I´d think celebrities would love fracking. I´d be wrong. Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono and their group, Artists Against Fracking, don´t feel the love. Yoko sang, "Don´t frack me!" on TV. Stopping fracking is the latest cause of the silly people.

Staffers for Sen. Dean Heller have been bullying other senators’ aides to protect the Nevada Republican’s space in the Russell Senate Office Building, CQ Roll Call has learned. As part of the biennial Senate office lottery, junior members are obligated to show their office suites to more senior members, who then have 24 hours to decide whether to claim that space as their own. Heller’s office suite — which he inherited after the scandal-fueled resignation of Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev. — may be particularly attractive to other senators because its floor plan includes a larger-than-average member office.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”
