Nice

Of course, the flip side of that is how can gun-owners demand that women give up control of their bodies?


Even for 3rd trimester?

My argument all along has been....everyone (libs and cons) is in favor of the death penalty, just some (cons) believe it should occur after jury trial.

Land mines popping up everywhere in these Benghazi hearings.....even msm is getting interested....barely.


Here, for example, is CBS News on Sunday giving top-story coverage to the testimony of Gregory Hicks, who was the Number Two man at the U.S. embassy in Libya at the time of the Benghazi attacks. Hicks – whose appearance at the hearings was discussed by House Oversight chairman Darrell Issa earlier Sunday on CBS’ Face the Nation – says everyone at the embassy knew it was an organized terror attack immediately, and they were flabbergasted to see the Obama Administration try to pass it off as a “spontaneous protest” over a YouTube video. He’s also one of the whistleblowers who claims to have been threatened with career reprisals by the Administration.

Don't get your hopes up. Even now that the government's rampant lying campaign has been irrefutably proven, nobody will care any more than they did 8 months ago.

[bluetick]

Campaign? You mean one Sunday's worth of talk shows...even then at every stop Rice added the caveat that the attack could have been a terrorist attack, but critics always cut that part out.

The movie hit the internet and all hell broke loose with riots and burnings at exactly the same time as the Benghazi attack. So what if the two were tied together for a couple days? If Benghazi is supposed to be oprama's answer to dubya's wmd-inspired Iraq invasion...how DO they compare? No bombs were dropped after Rice's sound bites, and we didn't send in troops.

[10ac]

Correct. I seem to remember sending in no troops or any other assistance.

The survivors of the attack all said that this was no case of a "demonstration" that got out of control. Hell, there wasn't even a demonstration at all. They IMMEDIATELY reported it was a terrorist attack, pure and simple. All that bullshit about the movie was inserted later by bureaucrats in Washington, in spite of the actual report by the people who were actually there. And the added layer of Rice lying parade was five days after the attack. Five days was plenty of time for the Foggy Bottom people to actually listen to their own people who were actually there and figure out the truth.

For this to be like W's invasion, you only need one thing. You need a series of emails from the CIA that say, "Mr. President, we have dozens of trusted agents in Iraq's research facility. They are all unanimously reporting that there is no evidence whatsoever that there are WMD in Iraq. The 'slam dunk' of evidence from our own eyewitnesses on the ground is that Saddam has no WMD. None. Zip. Zero. Nada." That would make Iraq a lot like this.

We lost seven dead in Afghanistan this past weekend. It's bullshit that we are still there, and oprama is gutless for not moving up our withdrawl date imo. There is nothing more we can do there militarily that will make us any safer.

I totally agree. We should have been out of there years ago.

[10ac]

Actually, it should still be too radioactive for live to exist there.

[Professor Tiger]

Gotta hand it to the voters of South Carolina. They just voted a confessed adulterer into a seat in the House, as well as a closeted gay guy to the Senate. They may be the buckle of the Bible belt (e.g. home of Bob Jones University), but socially they vote like Democrats. Heh.

[Big Orange Junky]

The Liberal Tick shows up again, defending the Humane Society.

Tick, have you ever researched how much of their income actually goes to help animals? How about if they help the local shelters? If you said almost NONE you would be absolutely correct. 1% of their money to be exact goes to animal shelters etc. Around 50% is salary and pension.

Their goal isn't to help animals, it's to line their pockets and keep people from enjoying animals.

Jesus. Right on cue.

Humanewatch.org is Rick Berman, hired gun for big liquor, big tobacco, and big agri. Hell, he runs smear campaigns against Mothers Against Drunk Drivers for fucksake You'd have to be a real rube (BOJ, hello) to lap up what his group puts down.

[sardis]

"but socially they vote like Democrats. Heh"

Maybe the Democrats of the 90's, but the fulcrum has moved since then. Now Dems vote for infanticide, religious persecution, and totalitarian communism...

Adultery and closet homosexuality is the new conservatism.

MADD is an over-the-top org that wields too much power with lawmakers.


From wiki on HSUS:

Misappropriation of Donations Towards Hurricane Katrina

Animal Rights or Human Responsibility is another organization that has done substantial original research into the HSUS. AR-HR has disclosed that it receives no compensation from the CCF, the agriculture industry, the fur industry, or the pet industry.[126] They agree substantially with many of the conclusions reached by the Center for Consumer Freedom: in particular, the HSUS's misrepresentation of itself in advertisements seeking donations.

AR-HR's analysis of the HSUS's tax returns has determined that almost half of the funds donated to the HSUS for the purposes of helping animals after Hurricane Katrina remain unaccounted for, despite the aborted investigation by the Louisiana State Attorney General.[127]

Inadequacy as a Charity: The Raising and Appropriation of Funds

The American Institute of Philanthropy has been highly critical of the HSUS. Charity Watch, the AIP's independent watchdog group, gave the HSUS a "D" in 2012. It determined that the HSUS spends an insufficient percentage of donations on programs, and an inordinately high percentage on fundraising.[128]

Sad, really.
