You are correct in several things: Mainly, people who decry the use of firearms can't seem to grasp the concept that their freedom is defended by those who don't decry the use of firearms. Peace and freedom are not free, they are purchased with violence and blood, usually. I have said before that the real problem lies with those who would relegate not only their own safety, but that of myself and my family to the care of some omniscient, nameless, all-powerful, (but somehow always benevolent) AUTHORITY. They would rather trust not only their own, but everyone else's lives and possessions to the good graces of some faceless entity whose judgements are are always just. (Here I thought that was God's job). By encouraging this attitude, the psychological warriors are achieving what Sun Tsu said more than two thousand years ago, "Supreme Excellence in Warfare Lies in Destroying the Enemies' Will to Resist." When you lose, but "go down swinging," you have suffered a setback, sure, but when you feel in your mind, heart and soul that you are beaten, you are. You may go through the motions, but you're whipped. Your comment on a nation of cowards was timely. I, myself, have been branded a d******c t*******t, because of the following crimes: I am a veteran, a tax protester, a gun owner, a concealed carry permit holder, an NRA member, and even worse, a v****g Republican. I am the "Establishment's" worst nightmare, a redneck with an education. (Regarding the d******c t*******t thing, now that I think about it, it seems the only people who didn't make the list are Democraps,(not a misspell), and those who ride camels, speak Farsi, and say Allah Akbar! a lot.

This issue has become one of the worst declarations of our multi-billion boondoggle we call public education, not to even go into the private college sector or the facts that a whole lot of them "higher edumakated chillins is cuming out stupider than when they went in".
It is now S.O.P.( standard operational procedure) for those who are not of current or past military persuasion,to spend massive amounts of someone else's money to manipulate the mass's via propaganda in an effort to change the meanings of words to fit the ideology or agenda of those whom would be our "RULERS" and not our public servants.
I read an interesting quip the other day and I'll share it with anyone who still has or desires or even uses common sense in this day and age,

" Why is it when a bomb goes of we condemn the bomber, but when a gun goes off we blame the firearm?"

For heavens sake CALM down!! Truly you will like it.

The Constitution of the United States: Amendment II (1791)
A well regulated m*****a, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Several weeks ago, on another site, I was informed I did not not understand nor know how to interpret the Second Amendment. My ire was raised greatly! Sometimes I can be an arrogant prig as well as a word clarity usage female dog. This was one of those instances!

The Constitution of the United States: Amendment II (2013) using Webster's Unabridged Dictionary definitions of words within the Second Amendment.
A well regulated citizenry trained for emergency service, being necessary/inevitable to the security of a free state, the privilege of the populace to hold and have weapons, must in no manner or degree be encroached on.

Maybe the dunderheads unable to understand short declarative sentences would better understand long verbose declarative sentences!

Hopefully no one had to scream "MEDIC, defrib now" when you first saw the name of the forum! :shock:

Quid Pro Quo, shooter-g: Do you remember Muslim Obama met with the Muslim Brotherhood in the oval office a couple of months prior to B******i. On the night of the 9/11 attack on B******i, where did Muslim Obama go, what did he do, was he kept abrest, why or why not, and what precisely did he know and when did he know it. For example, given his meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood in the oval office, If I was an attorney taking his deposition under oath subject to penalities of pergury, for a special investigative committee with subpoena power, I would think it would be fair to ask him if he had any discussion at that meeting about any Muslim attacks in the future, including B******i. But what the h--- do I know. I'm just sayin. p.s. The laundry list of possible impeachable offenses has gotten so long that I can't keep track of it all. It would be a full time job. I'm not a Marine, but Semper Fi if I am allowed to say that. The hero Marines that died in B******i will live in our history when Muslim Obama is deposited on the trash heap of history where he so justifibly belongs.

This is just another perfect example of "Deny and Blame" or as I refer to it, a "Convenient distraction" from the t***h. As all of us our spending countless hours foraging for the "Facts", the Media is having a field day.
I started researching this before the e******n. I even dedicated a hours of Broadcasting time on my Internet Radio Program months before the E******n. I was outraged then I am just plain Pissed off now. This has nothing to do with the t***h, and everything to do with politics. Moreover, Money. If the facts were told, it would have been a crucial blow for the Omnipotent one's re-e******n. If Hillary falls on the sword the outcome would have had virtually the same results. "Just don't talk about it" the "Inconvenient T***h" will eventually be swept under the rug and forgotten. Or simply dismissed as "Those evil Rich, White Republicans", on another "Witch hunt.". The most disheartening part of this entire procedure is, Americans in general don't care.
God save us all if the 3:00 am. Call comes during Hillary's watch.

If one is unaware of one simple fact, then Hillary's explanation would make sense. That one simple fact - there was no evidence that B******i was the result of a video - not right away, not a day later, not 3 days later - never. So Rice's comments weren't the result of confusion, they were the results of making something up.

And as to what difference does it make now, clearly it makes a difference understanding what happened, and if Hillary and the rest of the administration was that confused about what happened for so long, knowing what happened might prevent future confusion so obvious - if one accepts that confusion created a video out of whole cloth
