Hillary Clinton's Testimony, My Take

      Hillary Clinton finally testified before Congress on Bengazigate after numerous delays caused by illness and trips of both kinds.  Before my I give you my take on the hearings, I'd like to supply you with a little bit of background information for which I am certain you are unaware.  I don't much believe in coincidences, especially about anything that goes on within the Obama regime.  I'm sure you are aware that Hillary Clinton rang up between 20 to 30 million in debt from her unsuccessful run at the presidency in 2008.  This includes the loan from Bill after he received millions from Arab countries for "speeches".  She had asked Obama after the 2008 election to help pay off her debts from his excess campaign funds.  This week her debts were finally paid off, assuring that Obama would be protected by her testimony.  Her testimony was obviously orchestrated. The crocodile tears and the indignation over being questioned about the video were planned and rehearsed well in advance.  Ironically, after saying that she took full responsibility for what happened in Bengazi, protecting Obama, she took no responsibility whatsoever. Only a few Republicans asked her serious questions and made important comments regarding her very carefully crafted testimony.  Her indignation over the video question was deflected by "what does it matter now.  Four Americans are dead."  That is precisely why it does matter that the regime including Obama knowing lied to the American people.  Nixon could have said the same thing over the Watergate burglary, that it didn't matter after the election, but of course history took a far different course and his otherwise honorable and very enlightened presidency ended in disgrace. Claiming she never read the requests for more security is very similar to Eric Holder's excuse for not reading his emails regarding the outrageous Fast and Furious debacle.  As Rand Paul rightly commented, he would have fired her.  If her comments were true, then why was no one fired over this, four Americans are dead.  The events of the Bengazi attack were being watched in real time.  The ambassador and his staff were advising the regime of their imminent danger.  There may have been very little the regime could have done to save and protect the Americans under attack, but do you believe Obama wasn't notified immediately?   His handlers invented the video lie to protect him during the tight election race.  His National Security staff fell on their swords for Obama and said it was they that edited out references to Al Qada and Muslim extremists, after all, we were told that after the killing of Osama Bin Ladin, Al Qada was through.  Maybe it was as Ms. Clinton suggested, some guys out for a walk who decided to kill Americans with mortors and automatic weapons. Despite knowing what actually had happened, the regime including  Obama, two weeks later, when speaking at the UN, still blamed the video.  Four American were dead, but our incompetent national news media barely mentioned Bengazi  continuing to protect the regime during the campaign for the presidency.  If you recall, the press didn't hesitate to criticize Romney for his comments on Bengazi  shortly after it happened. Comments that by the way were appropriate and dead on. This may have scared Romney into making a critical mistake during the debate a few weeks later on foreign policy by not bringing it up. Certainly the very biased pro Obama moderator, Bob Schieffer, would and did not.  Four Americans are dead and Obama, Hillary Clinton, and everyone else in the regime got a free pass when they should have been impeached or fired.  Nixon was under the threat of impeachment for far less, nobody died from Watergate. Maybe some guys were out on a walk and just decided to burglarize the DNC. Finally we have recently learned that many of the weapons used in the attack on the consulate were supplied by the Obama regime during the civil war that deposed Mommar Gaddafi, another similarity to "fast and furious." I wonder when this information was actually known by the regime, timing its release well after the 2012 election.  What did the Democrats do at the hearing.  They, along with some Republicans, praised Hillary Clinton for her service and testifying despite traveling all over the world and fighting off illness and injury to finally show up more than four month later. I supposed the Republicans still fear the powerful Clinton machine that brought down Gingrich, Livingston, Armi, and other Clinton impeachment enemies. They still have the FBI file info on almost a thousand Republicans gleaned from Filegate*.  The Democrats even tried to blame Republicans for limiting the State department budget so that the proper security was not in place.  Rand Paul quickly corrected this bit of misinformation, mentioning all the money the State Department squanders, especially purchasing electric automobiles and then constructing expensive charging stations to service them (it seems the government is the main source of Volt sales).  As I have pointed out in a past post, our government could never recover the added cost over that of standard or hybrid vehicles, even if the Volts lasted for more than twenty years.  It seems that the man dubbed the "smartest president in our history" knew nothing of what was going on in his regime.  That is he was unaware of the situation in Libya, unaware of "fast and furious", a didn't know that Van Jones, the green commissar he appointed, was a communist who advocated the violent overthrow of the United States.  I guess he was too busy campaigning, golfing, shooting hoops, vacationing in Hawaii and Nantucket, or just jetting around in AF1.  If this is true, then maybe he should be termed the "know nothing president".

*Filegate was the name given to illegal (or accidental according to the Clintons) procurement of nearly 1000 FBI files of prominent Republicans by the Clinton administration.  Craig Livingstone, a former bar bouncer, did the dirty work as he was chief of White House Security.  Though an early memo to the FBI stated that he got the job from a recommendation by Hillary Clinton who was long time friends with his mother according to Bernard Nussbaum, all this was denied when the Filegate investigation special prosecutor, Kenneth Starr, began questioning associated individuals including Hillary Clinton.  Starr concluded that no one knew how and who hired Craig Livingstone. Hillary 's  testimony during her sworn deposition included 109 "I don't remember"s.  The pages in the log book certifying who checked out the files mysteriously disappeared (just as many other documents during the Clinton administration).  Clinton operatives were well known for stealing and disposing of documents (Sandy "the burglar" Berger for example).  Whatever information was gleaned from these files has been stored somewhere to use against Clinton enemies as needed.

      Did you ever wonder how the least likely person to become POTUS actually did? How a man of average intelligence, no experience,  and little means obtained an Ivy League education and became POTUS.  I'm working on a new blog in which I will put together the amazing story of how this aall came to be and what it means for all of us.

Some random thoughts on taxes, deficit, Obamacare, energy, and freedom

      Here are some random thoughts about the past year and a few predictions for the year to come. First. I don't know who is advising the Republicans, but who ever it is, should be fired immediately.  Obama has been calling for a tax on millionaires and billionaires and the Republicans should hold him to it.  Since when is a tax on someone who makes $250k a tax on a millionaire?  If they would have pushed the concept that $250k is not a million dollars, they may have been more successful especially in the eyes of the public (but not the buased media).  Romney should have done the same, stating that people that make between $250K and 999K are not necessarily millionaires, but many are small businessmen who are the engine for the economy. Taxing them will continue to keep the economy in the doldrums. Of course, anything that affects our economy in a negative way is exactly what Obama wants.  He said as much,in the book Bill Ayers wrote for him, Dreams from My Father.  In addition, he wants to destroy the lives of our senior citizens.  Obamacare takes $50 billion out of Medicare each year at a time when 4 million new baby boomers are being added annually.  His death panels will speed the demise of many grandmothers and grandfathers when life saving drugs and procedures are withheld when the death squad deems them too old, infirm, or just not contributing to Obama's concept of society.  This is where the so called savings in Medicare will actually come.  If you kill off the beneficiaries before they use resources then you can save money. This is his plan for saving Medicare.  By killing off the elderly, he plans to save Social Security as well.  This is his way of dealing with entitlements and why he hasn't otherwise put forth a separate plan to do so. Additionally, he wants to tax dividends and capital gains at a higher level.  Seniors live off of the interest and dividends that their retirement savings provide, sometimes changing stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or CDs to gain an income advantage.  These new taxes will have grandma and grandpa eating dog food and living with the homeless as their savings run out, unless they turn over their life savings and become eligible for food stamps.  Oh I forgot, that won't be a problem as Obama will kill them off before it happens...if they are lucky.  Look for the life span of American to recede as Obamacare's invasive nature takes over the life and death of all Americans. The headlines from the mainstream will not tell you this, instead it will tell you how the lives of leeches (maybe cockroaches is a better word), the welfare beneficiaries who contribute nothing and who have never contributed anything but more welfare beneficiaries, have increased. Maybe they should be required to become responsible citizens and contribute their fair share. Oh, I forgot, Obama ended "workfair" to garner their votes. It seems unfair to change the system for people who have worked, saved, and planned all their lives to live comfortably in their golden years.  Obama should be impeached for enacting genocide for the elderly.  And now if this is not bad enough another presidential fiat has been forced upon us that will affect the healthcare of all American in a very negative way, affirmative action on NIH research grants.  Some bureaucratic moron did a study that determined that way too many grants were going to Caucasians and not enough to Blacks and Hispanics.  So now there is a 10% set a side to insure that minorities get their fair share.  This moron didn't understand that grants are given out on the basis merit and potential benefit and previous successes in related research and that a research team consist of a diverse group all of who benefit from the grant.  Secondly, research applications don't ask for race, but I guess NIH will begin profiling applicants now.  We can't profile terrorists boarding airplanes, but we will profile NIH grant applicants.  Because these grants are obviously awarded on merit, grants of lesser importance may now get preference lowering the quality of research.  This is exactly what the gangster Obama has done in the past, wasting our money on worthless green energy companies that contribute little to our economy, but much to his campaign war chest.
      Speaking of impeachment, the ongoing hearings on Bengazigate (my own term), though damaging to some, will not disclose the real cover up. A day or two after it happened, I was able tell you pretty much what happened, apparently before Obama, Susan Rice, and Hillary Clinton knew, yeah right.  The cover up would be pretty easy to discover.  First an independent special prosecutor  would need to be appointed.  He could subpoena phone records, emails, text messages and personal visits of all involved.  From these records the trail could be followed from those who watched the terrible tragedy unfold and where it went from there.  The Obama regime would resist turning over these documents and then, taking a lesson from the Clintons, a lot of info would mysteriously disappear, especially those leading directly to Obama and his directives.  Hillary Clinton is now deciding whether she will side with Obama or come clean, trying to determine what will hurt her the least in her run for the White House four years from now.   She needn't worry, the media has a short memory, when it comes to progressive Democrats.  Watergate was over an stupid burglary and forced Nixon, a relatively moderate and otherwise great president, to resign. With Bengazigate, four Americans including a United States ambassador were brutally murdered and dragged through the streets.  The coverup was to shield the public from the facts so close to the election.  Al Qaeda was not dead, the Arab and Moslem outreach was a failure, and they had been killed with weapons that they got from us.  Sort of sounds like the "fast and furious" scandal that was successfully covered up.
      It has been predicted that by 2017 the United States will be the largest producer of oil and natural gas, passing Saudi Arabia.  Unfortunately our laws don't allow to export much of these valuable commodities. This will lead to a glut, which will lead to a price collapse and then a rapid slow down in oil production.  The very thing that turned a backward desert wasteland into a wealthy country, namely oil exports will be denied us because of a left thinking president and congress.  This is one of the reasons why pipelines have been denied and applications to build export facilities put on hold. Despite over twenty application to build export facilities for liquid natural gas (LNG), only one has been approved.  As we speak LNG in North Dakota is being burned off for lack of transport pipelines. Green energy, no matter how good it sounds, is decades and maybe centuries away from replacing fossil fuels as an economic means for electricity.  Those who push it now, are either too stupid to understand this, been brainwashed by the media, or want our economy to fail.  This is not my opinion, this is the history of green energy to date.
      The guy who admits to never having ever made a mistake and always blames everyone else, would have been happy to see us go over the fiscal cliff.  Taxes go up on everyone and military spending down.  Though other spending is to be cut as well, much of it would have remained or even increased by presidential edict, ignoring the Constitution and Congress, just as he has done numerous times in the past.  The economy would have continued to suffer again to Obama's liking.  Milk prices may have tripled and been the first sign in what could have turned to food riots, need for marshall law, and quickly turning America into a Marxist dictatorship.  Opponents to the regime would have been arrested and private property and wealth confiscated. Gun owner would have been the first to go to concentration (reeducation) camps.  The Republicans were caught in a trap and accepted a bad deal, but the only one available at the time.  They must not cave to threats over the deficit increase.  It makes sense that if you cut spending and balance the budget, there is no need to increase the deficit.
      My last comments are on the recent attacks on the 2nd Amendment.  None of his recent attacks and regulations by Obama would have prevented the recent tragedies in Colorado and Connecticut or the murder rate in Chicago.  He said so.  Then why propose them at all.  The reason, of course, is to destroy the 2nd Amendment and terrorize legitimate gun owners on one level and to attack constitutional rights in general on another.  Very few first degree murders are carried out by NRA members with registered weapons.  What could help?  Little has been said about punishment.  The death sentence should apply to those convicted of first degree murder, attempted murder, armed robbery and rape with a gun with one year or one appeal after conviction and then sentence is carried out.  If nothing else, it will prevent the criminal from ever committing another crime.  Illegally possessing a gun, possessing a stolen gun, theft of a gun would warrant long mandatory prison terms.  The situation with crazies is much harder to deal with as the libs  forced there release on to our streets at the end of the 1970s and now they make up a sizable segment of the homeless population,  few of whom, fortunately are dangerous.  admittedly enhanced background checks and a national data base would help as long as it does not interfere with privacy rights. Remember Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Castro all disarmed their citizenry. As the patriot and father of the Bill of Rights George Mason once said,"To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."

      Finally, I'd like to wish all of you who follow my blog a happy and healthy New Year.  I am hopeful that we the American people can overcome Obama and all of the terrible things for which he and his cronies wish upon us.  Only 1461 days left for the tyrant.  Pray the Constitution of the United States of America and its 22nd Amendment prevail.
