Starts slow, but well worth the watch if you have an hour.

Well clearly it is time for America to sit down and have a serious discussion about pressure cookers.

Tell me, which would you rather give up, a little bit of delicious pressure cooked food or the safety of others.

Turns out my mom knows the guy who got arrested for sending the Ricin letter to Obama.

Only 12% of American's have correctly answered that gun violence is at an all time low. Meanwhile, 56% believe it has gone up... wonder who the 56% are?

[Ghisteslwchlohm]

I blame the media.

The person who wrote that article was the Republican strategist for Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, and Mike Huckabee. Please stop getting your "news" from Fox News. Shouldn't he be flying to Libya? Bombing Iran? Fortifying Israel? Why's he hanging out with his daughters when he has to be doing something else? It's an opinion article from someone trying to get Romney elected. Why didn't Romney fly to Libya after the consulate attack? Instead he used it to politically harass Obama! See, you can use any situation and say someone should be doing something else. Why am I responding to your post? Shouldn't I be doing my taxes??

Uh... You mean like all the hate they spit at Bush and our troops during the two elections he was in?  

Let me make this clear to you... Obama let those men die.  His incompetence is what lead to it.  

What you are eventually going to find out is these facts.

1) The Diplomats on the ground in Libya knew that shit was going bad
2) They reported their concerns back up the chain of command
3) Those reports were ignored
4) Increased security was denied because they were worried about how it would look
5) When the shit hit the fan that night White House/Secretary of Defense/Secretary of State were contacted by our Diplomat in counrty and advised that what they had warned would happen was happening
6) Since there was no true security for our diplomat in country the White House/Secretary of Defense/Secretary of State contacted the marines in country (who were tasked with other duties other than the diplomat) and asked them to attempt to get the diplomat.
7) They were advised of the situation
They were advised that they were outnumbered
9) They were advised they were outgunned
10) They were advised they would most likley not survive
11)  They went anyway
12)  They died
13) The diplomat died after being tortured
14) It was due to Obama's lack of understanding and incompetence


Oh and Fox news is a hell of alot better than CBS / ABC / NBC / MSNBC / CNN and all the other puke networks that are covering NOTHING about what is happening.  You think for one fuckin second if a Republican was in office they wouldn't of chewed them up and spit them out by now.  They are covering for Obama.  They are giving him a PASS on EVERYTHING...

AND YOU KNOW IT!!! YOU KNOW IT!  

Anyone who doesn't see that or doesn't admit that is a fuckin idiot who can't think for themselves but just accepts the spewed crap garbage they feed you.... AND DESERVES the Hell that you are going to get if they vote for that puke and he gets relected

Well, NBC finally made this their feature story on nightly news. I guess FOX beat them to the punch by only about 8 months... no big deal.

Actual NYT headline: "IRS Focus on Conservatives Gives GOP an Issue to Seize On"

So, instead of focusing on WHY THE FUCK THE IRS IS TARGETING SPECIFICALLY TARGETING ONE POLITICAL GROUP, the Gray Lady wants to instead have a story on how the Republicans will "politicize" this.

I am so incensed right now.

... And to think I almost considered looking at jobs at the IRS.

Good news--the IRS overlord who targeted political organizations that didn't meet her 'criteria' is only in change of ObamaCare now!

In the end you will discover that all the things happening were so that he could secure his election...

Direct lies and falsehoods about Benghazi
Targeting and harassing of conservative/republican groups.  Not just with the IRS but with every government agency that could be used.
Media control and manipulation
Withholding knowledge and information wantonly from congress and the American people
All of this transpiring and happening before and during his bid for re-election.

Why are none of you upset about Prism? Don't tell me because you think that no US persons get caught up in it...

[Da6onet]

Quite frankly it isn't all that surprising to me, but more importantly, they still aren't at a point where they can do much with the information. Most of what has been reported is speculation and hypothetical. My wife actually works on the bleeding edge development of what can be done with regard to this kind of data mining and I can tell you it is not as scary as hollywood or the media would have you believe. That isn't to say it won't get to a scary place, or that various entities aren't trying to get there, but we're still years away.

"We don't expect the President to give the American people every detail about a classified surveillance program. But we do expect him to place such a program within the rule of law, and to allow members of the other two coequal branches of government - Congress and the Judiciary - to have the ability to monitor and oversee such a program. Our Constitution and our right to privacy as Americans require as much." - Senator Obama 2006
