Freebies Defeat Freedom

So This Is How Democracy Dies

There’s going to be much written in the following days and weeks ahead as to why Mitt Romney lost the election, some of it will be written by me.

In fact, some of it already has.  In our post on October 22nd, we advised Governor Romney not to play it safe in the third and final Presidential debate and go directly after Obama on Benghazi.

As we watched in horror, Romney didn’t, and ended up agreeing with Obama on point, after point during the debate.  Where was the Mitt Romney from the first debate?

When the third debate was over I couldn’t help but think to myself “there goes the election.  Why would anyone vote for Obama-lite when they could just vote for Obama?”

Then Hurricane Sandy and the now infamous photo of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie hugging Obama.  Many are already saying that one incident cost Romney the election.

I disagree.  Romney cost Romney the election.  In a horse race, betters look to find the horse with a winning edge, the “difference” between horses to determine who’ll win.  Romney’s performance during the third debate gave voters no reason to choose him.  Simply stated, there was no difference between the two as Romney sat and agreed with Obama on point after point.

Romney gave voters no reason to change horses because he and Obama looked the same during and after the third debate.

As I said back on October 22nd, Romney needed to not 'play it safe’ and take Obama out.  He failed.

We are living the results of Romney’s failure during that third debate now, and that means four more years of socialist/marxist policies with nothing more than an ineffective Republican House standing in the way.

What will we see for four more years?  Here’s a short list:

- Still higher energy prices as the EPA implements its radical agenda to shut down refineries and coal plants across the country.  The EPA had regulations ready to go in case Obama lost, but now there’s nothing stopping them from driving gasoline and electricity costs to new heights.

- Higher health care costs, now that Obamacare will be implemented.  My employer already announced that more costs are being shifted to us as a result of having to be compliant with Obamacare.

- Continued slow to no economic growth.  Keep watching the job numbers folks.  Specifically, watch the first time unemployment claims starting this month.  They’ll continue outpacing the cooked “jobs numbers” coming from the Obama Administration.

- College Graduates can look forward to continuing to work multiple part-time jobs, rather than having a good paying job in their field.

- Housing market collapse, part II.  Weak jobs market equals weak demand in housing.  Home builders were ramping up the last quarter preparing to build new homes anticipating higher growth, kiss that goodbye.

And those are just for starters folks.  So to those who voted for Obama, congratulations.  You voted for freebies over freedom.  The problem for you is, sooner or later you run out of other people’s money to re-distribute.  That day is coming, sooner than you think.

That’s when those of us who did not vote for Obama will have the last laugh.

“So this is how Democracy dies … to thunderous applause.”

Father Of Fallen Navy Seal Demands Answers

Charles Woods Believes White House Responsible for Son’s Death

Why Isn’t The Lamestream Media Talking to Charles Woods?

The father of a former Navy SEAL killed in the Libya terror attack on September 11th said U.S. officials who denied a request for help while the diplomatic compound in Benghazi was under attack "are murderers of my son."

Charles Woods was reacting to accounts by Fox News sources that a request from the CIA annex for backup was denied by U.S. officials.

His son, Tyrone Woods, was killed in the Sept. 11 assault.
"They refused to pull the trigger," Woods said. "Those people who made the decision and who knew about the decision and lied about it are murderers of my son."

Personally, I think Mr. Woods is showing far too much respect for the lying, filthy scumballs that make up the Obama Administration, who really deserve no respect at all.

OBAMA LIED WHILE GOOD MEN DIED IN LIBYA!

Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty Denied Help

CIA Operators Told To Stand Down Rather Than Help

Former Navy SEALS Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When they and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to “stand down,” according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to “stand down.”

We also now know that an AC-130U Gunship was On-Scene in Benghazi, Obama Admin Refused to Let It Fire:

The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights. The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours — enough time for any planes based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators.

Folks, if you’re not angry – you’re not an American.

Washington Post Turns on Obama

Lingering Questions About Benghazi

David Ignatius, Opinion Writer, Washington Post

Excerpt:

The attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi has become a political football in the presidential campaign, with all the grandstanding and misinformation that entails. But Fox News has raised some questions about the attack that deserve a clearer answer from the Obama administration.

Fox’s Jennifer Griffin reported Friday that CIA officers in Benghazi had been told to “stand down” when they wanted to deploy from their base at the annex to repel the attack on the consulate, about a mile away. Fox also reported that the CIA officers requested military support when the annex came under fire later that night but that their request had been denied.

The Benghazi tragedy was amplified by Charles Woods, the father of slain CIA contractor Tyrone Woods. He told Fox’s Sean Hannity that White House officials who didn’t authorize military strikes to save the embattled CIA annex were “cowards” and “are guilty of murdering my son.”

The Fox “stand down” story prompted a strong rebuttal from the CIA: “We can say with confidence that the agency reacted quickly to aid our colleagues during that terrible evening in Benghazi. Moreover, no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate.”

An Ode To Obama

War, War, Everywhere.

Author: Unkonwn

War on women,
War on fuel,
War on America,
What are we to do?

Fast and Furious,
And Benghazi too.
Several are dead,
Because of you.

Splitting the country,
In more ways than one.
You won't be happy,
Until you have won.

Wasted tax dollars,
Right down the drain.
And you want more,
You are inflicting such pain.

On November the sixth,
I will cast my vote.
And I hope and pray,
This is far as it goes.

I am a proud veteran,
Who went to Viet Nam.
And I will not bury,
My head in the sand.

To "The Messiah" Obama,
You must go.
For the good of the country,
God please make it so.

Yes Mr. Obama–The American Military Does In Fact Use Horses & Bayonets In Combat

CNN Report From October, 2011 Proves Obama LIED Again!

In an article dated October 6th, 2011 Alex Quade in a report to CNN documented the American Miltary’s use of horses to lead the invasion in Afghanistan.

 

Quoting the article:

Demossville, Kentucky (CNN) -- The U.S. special operations teams that led the American invasion in Afghanistan a decade ago did something that no American military had done since the last century: ride horses into combat.

"It was like out of the Old Testament," says Lt. Col. Max Bowers, retired Green Beret, who commanded the three horseback teams.

"You expected Cecil B. DeMille to be filming and Charlton Heston to walk out."

Bowers spoke while sitting in the rural Kentucky studio of sculptor Douwe Blumberg, along with three of his former "horse soldiers."

They, along with 30 fellow commandos on horseback, are the inspiration for a new monument that Blumberg is creating, dedicated to the entire U.S. special operations community.

The statue above was erected at the site of the World Trade Center on Veterans Day in 2011.

There’s also a best selling book “Horse Soldiers: The Extraordinary Story of a Band of Us Soldiers Who Rode To Victory in Afghanistan.”  A new movie coming out soon by Jerry Bruckheimer is based on the best selling book. 

One last comment: Anyone who’s been in the US Army, or is a US Marine will also testify to the fact that yes, bayonets are used in today’s military.  They’re an important part of hand-to-hand combat training.  A REAL President would’ve known that.

So now, who’s the FOOL Mr. Obama, and who knows their military history? 

Free Clue: Obama is clueless once again.

Memo To Romney Campaign: Don’t Play It Safe

Obama’s Foreign Policy In Two Words: Negligence Kills

During the third and final Presidential debate, Mitt Romney has a once in a lifetime opportunity blow this campaign wide open if he successfully casts the Libyan Embassy attacks in their correct light: Obama’s negligence.

If Romney chooses to play it safe, he will doom his campaign to failure.  Rather, I say Mr. Romney should hold Mr. Obama accountable for his negligence before, during, and after the Libya Embassy attacks.  In an age where accountability seems to be missing, holding the current President accountable for his Administrations continual mis-steps on all things economic – and foreign relations would send a positive signal to Romney’s base, and the critical “swing voters” who are dying to see someone held accountable for the mess this country is in.

Obama’s negligence has resulted in the death of 4 American’s in Libya.  His subsequent dishonesty regarding what happened has the potential to impact the voting decisions of undecided low information voters. There will be millions of people watching on Monday night who have not been following this scandal closely and they want to know who is accountable. 

This is a key moment in the Romney and Obama campaigns.  Obama with Candy Crowley’s aid last week flat-out lied when he claimed he called the Libya Embassy Attacks “an act of terror.”  The record shows Mr. Obama said no such thing.  Now is the time for Mr. Romney to go for the kill, so to speak.  Playing it ‘safe’ would mean he sit’s back and hopes Obama doesn’t get lucky during the debate. 

Hillary Clinton made that mistake in 2008, Mr. Romney.  Are you listening?

Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Iowa are on the verge of swinging to Romney.  In these four states the race is within 1 point of swinging to Romney.  Momentum is on his side, is now the time to play it safe?

The choice Mr. Romney must make is to go aggressively after Obama and hold him accountable for both the lack of security in Benghazi, and the Obama Administration’s repeated failed attempts to paint what happened as anything other than a terrorist attack against America.

Ultimately the question of Libya is going to come up, whether Bob Schieffer asks the question or not.  Here’s how Mr. Romney should handle the situation:

First, Mr. Romney should state that what happened in Benghazi resulted in the deaths of four Americans including Ambassador Chris Stevens, an act that has not occurred since the Carter Administration in 1979.

Second, Mr. Romney should state clearly that the issue continues to receive a lot of attention more than two months later as a direct result of the Obama Administration’s continued efforts to paint the issue as something other than a terrorist attack.  Name Al-Qaeda as the terrorist group responsible.

Third, state clearly that because the Obama Administration cannot seem to get the facts or its story straight, many American’s including many in the media believe that a cover-up has taken place.  Here Mr. Romney has any number of media published reports to back this claim:

CNN reported “On 9/12 and even before then, the CIA and other sources within the State Department made the administration aware that the attack was not related to any demonstration (there was no demonstration) and that attack was a terrorist attack”

On 9/12, President Obama gave a speech where he decried a youtube video, made a comment about 9/11/01, and made a generic comment that “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation”. Note that, contrary to the President’s contention in the last debate, he did NOT, during this speech specifically label the Benghazi attack a “terror attack”

The American people were led to believe by the President’s spokesperson Jay Carney, Susan Rice (during appearances on six Sunday TV shows the weekend of September 30th), the President himself and other surrogates that the attack resulted from a spontaneous demonstration stemming from a youtube video.  The President himself was asked several times, on television shows such as “The View” and the David Letterman show whether the attack was a terror attack. Obama flatly refused to say that it was.  Obama also blamed the You Tube video multiple times during his address to the United Nations on September 21st, never once saying it was a terrorist attack. 

 

Finally, Mr. Romney should state the number of security breaches that have occurred in the last 12 months in Libya.  I’m not going to suggest he specify the dates, there are too many.  The number is sufficient.  In citing the number of security breaches, Mr. Romney should also remind the President (as he turns, looks, and stares at Obama) that each and every September 11th, Embassies around the world have increased security. 

Then Mr. Romney should ask this question: Why didn’t Benghazi have additional protection on September 11th, the anniversary of the terrorist attacks that brought down the World Trade Center?

The American people are demanding answers to these questions, rightfully so.  Obama’s “lead from behind” foreign policy strategy has proven to be an unmitigated disaster for America. 

Further, the “arab spring” that Mr. Obama has promoted has resulted in Islamic theocracies taking hold in Libya, Egypt and Syria is on the brink.  The muslim brotherhood has firm holds in all three and they are no friends to America. 

Mr. Obama also failed to encourage the peaceful turnover of Iran in the summer of 2009 when hundreds of thousands of students peacefully demonstrated for regime change, only to be shot dead in the streets while Mr. Obama looked the other way.

Will Mr. Romney go after Mr. Obama full-force on these issues? 

If he does, it’ll be game, set and match for Romney.

The American people are demanding accountability for these failures and Mr. Obama needs to be put on the hook for it.

Any way the American people look at Mr. Obama’s answers, he’ll be viewed as being dishonest at best, ignorantly incompetent at worst.  Obama simply cannot simply explain away the multitude of different answers he and members of his Administration have given on Libya.
