• Rep. Trey Gowdy Explodes at Libya Hearing: ‘I Want to Know Why We Were Lied To’

  October 11, 2012 at 12:02am

  In reply to inexiletill2012.

  I have not written in months waiting on Mr. Beck to do the right thing. If you look closely, really review what his media empire has provided: the real picture will emerge. Yes, Ambassador Stevens was a CIA operative and has been for years in various posting throughout the Maghreb. This actually is well known and known to Mr. Beck’s inner circle. Yes, Mr. Beck correctly identified the two ex-Seals as CIA contractors trying to find shoulder fired anti-aircraft weapons that Obama’s administration gave to Islamist rebels in the US covert war against Libya. Yes, Obama’s administration has been funneling weapons and jihad i’s into Syria for the NATO war against Assad. Was Ambassador Stevens running this conduit? I do not know. Is the wreckage of Obama’s foreign policy going to cause a world war with Russia and Iran? Uncertain but probable. If you actually think beyond left and right, Bush – Obama – we had a very close call – war with Russia just a few years ago in Georgia or earlier in Serbia. Have any of you ever considered that this country keeps picking groups to support that are anti-west, anti-Christian, and anti-capitalist? Kosovo, Libya, Egypt, and Sryia all have the same “freedom fighters” – Islamic jihadist we support. Syria has a collection of non-Syrian jihadists imported to destroy Assad and the country. A common theme in US foreign policy is the oppression and murder of Christians and secularists in each country. Tell the turth!

• ‘Oops’: Obama Fan Sinks Her Big Moment by Spilling Yogurt on President

  April 25, 2012 at 1:42am

  In reply to LOTO.

  I believe this was a plot by that devil Ted Nugent to attack the President! Well, at a minimum to make the President look foolish! Ok, three years of his clown act rules that out, but the perpetrators are white! Maybe this was a hate crime? Ok, a pack of white girls got uppity with the President! Hmmm, none of this race baiting, aggrieved status stuff seems to pass the smell test. I wonder if PBO or his secretary of In-Justice ever reflects on their destructive inane yelping stoking the fires of hatred and division.

• Obama Appoints ‘Responsibility to Protect’ Champion Samantha Power to Chair Genocide Panel

  April 25, 2012 at 1:24am

  In reply to lassiegirldawn.

  Exactly what, in real terms, results on the ground, impact on people’s lives is this “responsibility to protect” doctrine brought the world? Let’s look shall we: 1) Libya – mass rape and murder of black Libyans, destruction of the educated and western oriented classes, and return of women to the 7th century, 2) Egypt – the creation of a legitimate government more Islamic than the Iranians, religious police on the streets dispensing summary Koranic justice, serial rape, murder, and destruction of Egyptian Coptic Christian society, and a base for terror against Israel, 3) Syria – the systematic destruction of infrastructure and society of a relatively moderate and secular people (by Arab standards), slaughter of civilians and non-combatants, and most importantly the luring of the Russians into potential conflict with western proxy forces. Hmmm, the arithmetic does not seem to support the wisdom or effectiveness of this policy: misery, loss of life, and creation of national enemies. I contend that Ms. Power, like much of the current power structure, will be brought before the Bar to answer for the evil their Fascist plots’ have caused humanity. After much bloodshed and suffering, I suspect she and her bunch may face their crimes in a tribunal held in Springfield or Naperville vice Nuremberg. The crimes will be the same. The ideology, intentions, and defense will be familiar. How many millions must die this time? Perhaps we deserve what these people will deliver to

• Report: Secret Service Colombia Partying May Have Involved Cocaine

  April 19, 2012 at 3:22pm

  In reply to pendentelite2.

  @Pendentlite2: Those that have worked a POTUS OCONUS trip know hundreds of support personnel are part of the advance. The advance team knows that they are subject to and will encounter people and situations designed to compromise them. Since the Clinton era (personal experience) the same type of advance team parties have taken place. This is not a PBO (President Barrack Obama) thing at all. The Secret Service advance team for the President Bush summit in Prague was an epic of debauchery. Be thankful that only male heterosexual agents are involved in this fiasco. White House political appointees were in-charge of the advance team. The shocking part will be when the routine alternative life style party’s that happen on these trips are outed in this investigation. This is not prestige or a moral issue; this is national life or death – strategic safety of the country. It is totally outrageous that the highest levels of government power are exposed to counter Intel collection and exploitation. I suppose the enabling of President Kennedy and his staff by the Secret Service is outside of this discussion. Ok, a shot, but please put this in perspective. The strategic stakes during Kennedy’s admin are the same as now!

• Beck Breaks Down Secret Service Missteps ‘Never Seen’ Before

  April 19, 2012 at 2:36pm

  In reply to Sara123.

  @Americantoo: I think there is a high probability that this scandal is being used for that purpose. However, there is much more here; for those that have worked a POTUS OCONUS trip know, hundreds of support personnel are part of the advance. Everyone in the advance knows that they are subject to and will encounter people and situations designed to compromise them. Further, The Secret Service has had, since the Clinton era (being predominately a heterosexual boys club) the same type of advance team party’s. The further removed from 911, and in particular under this administration, the more lax everything becomes. Be thankful that only male heterosexual agents are involved in this fiasco. As Mr. Beck has pointed out on his radio program again today (obvious that someone is feeding him the information) White House political appointees were in-charge of the advance team. By definition those in-charge are responsible. It will be interesting to see if any of the routine alternative life style party’s that happen on these trips are outed in this investigation. For me it is not a question of sexual orientation or morality rather the strategic safety of the country. It is totally outrageous that the highest levels of government power are exposed to counter Intel collection and exploitation. For the former agent running for office in Maryland; you are probably a good guy, please don’t say this never happened before – too many of us have seen this first hand.

• Rick Santorum Suspends Presidential Campaign

  April 11, 2012 at 12:54am

  In reply to shadokishi.

  Is it only me or have other travelers found a troubling hand in the Beck media apparatus – pushing opinion to Rickie when anyone with any sense of the business of politics in 2012 knew that there was zero chance of his nomination? It is as bizarre as the John (the junior) Huntsman’s’ candidacy – ending right after New Hampshire. Oh, is there are larger plan here? I don’t know. However, as the Beck says (Becksays) do your homework. Perhaps, think for yourself! There is a big fat rat in Mr. Becks River City and he has a money trail that leads to; oh my – a fat cat previously venerated by Becksays. What is one to think? This is troubling. Oh so troubling for those that fail to think critically.

• Beck Says ‘Naysayers’ Proven Right: After U.S. Helped Muslim Bro’hood Gain Power, Egypt Buddies up to Iran

  April 11, 2012 at 12:35am

  In reply to donh2.

  The world scene remains a very bad pre-war German volks – play: a play of serendipity or design? Who, that knew him or served with him would have thought that General Clark’s claim of a Pentagon/ State Department plan to attack a series of countries in the Maghreb and the Middle-east would turn out to be accurate and true: Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, and eventually Iran. Hmmmm, why and who would benefit from such an upheaval Mr. Beck?

• ‘It Is Clear the Science Is Not Settled’: 49 Employees Call Out NASA for Unsubstantiated Climate Science

  April 11, 2012 at 12:19am

  In reply to sooner12.

  Sooner,
  With all due respect to the rank of the former General Bolden, he was a joke as a Marine officer and is more a joke as a senior administrator of the new Fascist State. A number of us spent a number of months as an advance force under his command in Kuwait during one of the many Clinton era possible formulas for a war diversion in Iraq. Likable, and approachable his charitable nature and humanity as a man are admirable As a warfighter, leader, or manager all that I served with would charitably described him as a terribly lost soul. Like Mr. Panetta, General/ Administrator Bolden is placed in a position of critical importance with devastating authority. Both are designed to perform as marinates for a puppeteer with turrets syndrome governed by a Marxist predisposition and with a diseased racist soul. People wonder why the country is head to a place that all know is down a path of despair, Charlie, is just another mile post on the highway of destruction. I wish Mr. Beck and his staff would begin a truthful and serious discussion. Oh, wait, that would require real risk in the real world……. Let’s do a series of special TV or radio spots announcing that I may go blind! No, that I have back pain! The limited good that Mr. Beck, much like General Bolden provide has passed the point of benefit; the disinformation and harm that they do to the truth may in the end be our end.

• Study Finds Vast Majority of American Jews Still Plan to Vote for Obama In November

  April 5, 2012 at 12:43am

  In reply to thop1960.

  On a number of levels this story, Mr. Beck, his followers, and many commentators here miss the point. Anyone who has lived in Israel, not taken a guided world-wind tour over a few days, understands that the country, like ours is divided. The majority of Israel is secular and post-modernist with much the same views as Jewish Americans here. However, all agree with Mr. Beck, that Israel’s defense at the cost of American treasure and blood is preferable to one Jewish – Israeli or American -life. I am not anti-sematic, but will be vilified as such. I am not anti-Israeli although I have been labeled such. To deny that a small powerful religious based political philosophy that is similar in attributes and characteristics too many of the Islamic radicals we have labeled, wrongly, as targets of our war on terror, is to deny reality. I believe that Israel has the right to defend her strategic interests. I believe that the US also has the right and its government the duty, to defend our national interests without apology or regret. Why is it that the “carnival clowns” of every stripe are always pushing from the left and the right for someone else to do the fighting and dying for the causes they espouse? Please, wake up – it is you, your children and theirs that Mr. Beck seeks to be the fodder for this ill defined cartoonish battle against threats to Israel that most Israeli’s don’t want to fight. Think long and hard……. This road leads only to ruination of our country.

• McCain Is First Out the Gate to Call for Bombing Syria

  March 6, 2012 at 12:15am

  In reply to soybomb315.

  In the early part of this century I spent a total of two weeks in Munich with little Johnnie at a NATO Security chat fest in two successive years. First, I respect the rank he attained in the Navy and the incredible suffering he endured during his prolonged torture at the hands of the Vietnamese. Second, I believe he is a twisted and irreparably damaged soul with an unquenchable thirst for blood. Think I am overly dramatic; check his positions and voting record. Johnnie, has not seen any international (or domestic – NDAA as an example) issue that could not be fixed by spilling blood; theirs (whomever that might be) and with great regret- our sons and daughters. When you analysis what he says and what positions he takes, none of them have any identifiable connection to a coherent national strategy, and many are a direct threat to our national interests; Iraq, Tunisia, Libya, Syria, and soon Iran. Every prescription that he offers regardless of how coyly presented is a plan for death. Be aware and beware of Johnnie, he has carrier polits arrogance and the neurosis of a man with size issues.
