Title: Benghazi, Remember "modern day Alamo" those Americans who died.
Post by: Blueangel on November 08, 2012, 06:55:07 AM
We must make "Benghazi" our rallying cry.  I will lay down my life for...those who call out for safety.  Please help me Michael.

If the American people gave a tinker's dam about the Benghazi incident they would not have reelected the "man" who left US diplomatic personnel to be killed and then lied about it for going on 2 months.

Benghazi-gate will get swept under the rug just like Fast and Furious.

That POS certainly didn't get MY vote--or the vote of 49% of my fellows.

Dream on. With the ones who will listen to you you are preaching to the choir, ( like here, we agree that the whole deal was BS)
The rest will either ignore you or demonize you as some kind of "Nationalistic " bigot racist extremist.
So don't waste your breath, just stock up on what you will need when the "economy" collapses.

There won't be a collapse, at least not for a long, long time. The democrats are like the vampire L'estat....they will keep us alive so they can bleed us of the funding required to feed their  voting base. SOMEONE has to pay the bills, and if there's no money their racist hordes will turn on them in a heartbeat.
Wake up everyday and fight your fight.

Ten more years for me...after that, alive or dead I'm punching off the clock and goin' fishing/hunting/chasing my neked wife around the tent...DONE!

They can bleed someone else for a while.....and I ain't staying in MA either!

It's not their choice to make. They have been spending, borrowing, at suicidal rates for 4 years.
They have been printing money around the clock in a failed attempt to create the illusion of prosperity.
These are not new ideas, they have been tried before notably by FDR to end the depression, and by the Japanese during the 80's.
The results are always the same, failure.
What happens is that printing more money decreases the value of the money in circulation, this is reflected in prices requiring more money of lower value. it looks like prices going up, but it is in fact buying power going down. This is inflation.
Inflation increases costs of raw materials and services cutting profits therefore forcing business' to cut the only expense they can, labor, increasing unemployment and decreasing tax revenue. as prices continue to climb more business collapse into bankruptcy.
At the same time this is happening we have tax increases , and Obama care kicking in which will force more business to close their doors putting more people on unemployment further reducing tax revenues while inflation continues to erode all buying power.
Eventually it gets to the point where you need a wheel barrow load of cash to buy a loaf of bread and the system can no longer function. That is always followed by dictatorship, usually with a period of anarchy to under line the need for the "strong leader".
With the reelection of Barack Obama we watch the final fall of the dream of the founding fathers.

Thanks, Tom.

Very concise and accurate.  I've stolen it. 

If I make any money on it, rest assure  you will receive all of the first 40%   ;D ;D

Yea going fishing or hunting sounds like fun but the simple truth you can run and you can try to "hide" from the storm but if you wish to think it will not effect you...or your family.  Then you too are part of the problem.  We shall stand and we shall be persecuted...but we must be counted. 

Those men at Benghazi did not have to go back to the compound and help those folks....those men knew they would surely die, but they knew too that they would be held accountable.....to God Almighty.  We too will be held accountable and not to any earthly man, but to God.

Stand tall, Voice your thoughts, and above all "Remember Benghazi & the 2 men who died to save the 20" may God be with them.

Quo Vadis....... (http://Quo Vadis.......)

......where are (we) you going? 

Saint Peter (the rock of the Church), as he was fleeing Rome, saw Christ carrying a cross walking on the path...the opposite (years after the Crucifixion of Christ) direction St Peter was going.  St Peter said to Christ why are you "carrying a cross"?

Christ said to Peter "I am returning to Rome to be Crucified on the cross "again", upon hearing that Christ said to Peter "Quo Vadis Peter"? Peter said I am fleeing Rome lord......... upon saying that Peter turned around and headed back into Rome to continue spreading the word of GOD, soon after St Peter was then crucified....

Gentlemen where are we going? Are we just going to stand around and like a bunch of crying children.... fleeing Rome as it burns? Or are we, as St Peter, going to return and engage?

My friends I ask you "QUO VADIS"? This Nation was a Godly nation and it can be... once more.......Quo Vadis?

My comment was to the previous post, not the OP.

I too will never forget the men at Benghazi, the WTC (x2), Pentagon, Shanksville, PA, USS Cole, Marine Barracks, Beirut, Lockerbie, Mogadishu, et al.. 

I won't shy away from protecting me and mine but my list of folks I'll personally take a bullet for is getting shorter and shorter!  Call me pessimistic but, this country is lost and I see no one worthy of following!

We have to be salt and light.  We need to be as crafty as serpents as well responding when and how we should...not when goaded.

We don't fix the nation from the top down.  We do it from the bottom up.  We start with the dog catcher, aldermen, mayor and so on....we work on the school board and the county commissioners.  We work to get a good county sherriff, upstanding state reps and state senators....we support good governors and US Congressmen and Senators.  A good president is a good thing...but one guy can't fix it.

The best thing that could happen here may be a complete economic collapse.  And though from all appearances I am certain we'll get one....I don't undersestimate the ability of evil to keep things going for it's own purpose.

Although Edmund Burke is credited with this quote, no clear reference has yet been found. If is therefore generally accepted that he spoke these words.

The meaning is simple: evil succeeds by two means. First the actor, the person performing the evil act brings it into being. Second, the audience, the person or persons who witness the evil performed. If the actor is permitted to do the evil deed by those who witness it without even the least comment, then evil wins.

I had an interesting thought. 

When W. Bush was elected to his second term, I heard many posters on a left leaning forum stating they were moving to Canada.

(as an aside, the best counter post I heard was    "Go ahead.  It will improve the average intelligence of both countries.")

Well, I've heard similar comments on conservative forums with the past election.  A thought was that we Conservatives are reacting the same as the Liberals.

But the interesting thought is that should the Liberals all leave, our country, as we envision it, would flourish.

Should the Conservatives leave, our country as envisioned by the Liberals would fail.

Not that this hasn't been expressed many times here but, to me, this is a different perspective than I've looked at it before.

Another view:    While we would pay the Liberals one way fare to pack and go, they cannot pay ours...for two reasons.  One, they can't afford it and, two, they need us here to support them.
