A House Divided

Benghazi-
There is no scandal.  The White House didn't plan the attack nor did they outright refuse assistance to those in need.  Did the administration fuck up? Of course it did.  It did not take a threat seriously enough and people died.  Not the first time this happened. Remember 9/11.  Oh, that's right, we don't harp on the mistakes of the Bush administration...just the black guy's.  Seriously, get over it.  Investigations take time.  If you demand immediate answers, however, some of those answers are going to turn out to be wrong.  So you either want correct information that takes time to attain or you have to live with the fact that sometimes the information will be inaccurate.  Deal.  Why did it take nearly a year to charge someone? Um, again, IN-VES-TI-GATION.  It doesn't matter what you know, only what you can prove.  You don't press charges unless you have enough of this thing called evidence to garner a conviction.  Otherwise you waste time, money and lives by risking a criminal go free on a technicality.  Doing things the right way takes time.  Take your pick, you either want it done right or done fast.  Can't have both. It's not just Benghazi either but the Hassan trial.  Things take time.  I personally know of an assault that occurred on an 8mo child...prosecution did not occur until the child was 2.  Sucky as this can be sometimes it's better then a rushed prosecution that lets a killer go free (*cough*OJ*cough*).  By the way, I love how you guys are screaming at the administration for fucking up Benghazi and then in the next breath scream at them for overreacting to a legitimate terrorist threat by closing embassies.  They really can't do anything right in your eyes can they?

Good Lord

Bradley Manning has been sentenced  to 35years and people are out in rabid force decrying a miscarriage of justice.  Manning is a hero, they cried. He broke the law only to let us know what was really going on.  I can't believe something like this can happen in a democracy...blah,blah,blah. 

First, a couple of points, the United States is not now, nor has it ever been, a democracy.  If you don't know this then you really didn't pay attention in civics and have no business commenting on our government.  For fuck's sake, even Glen Beck knows this.  We are a republic.  It even says so in that pledge many of you are so paranoid is being taken out of schools.  It's not, by the way.  My kids say it every morning.  Plus, I have yet to see one credible source showing it has been taken out of a public school.  Oh, another bit about the pledge, it was written by a socialist.  In your narrow mindset does that not make it evil now?

Oh For Fuck's Sake

So, on my own stupidity I actually went to "The Blaze" to read an article.  I know, I know, my own fault.  It was a stupid move and I should have expected to become pissed and thoroughly disgusted at the human condition.  Not to mention the growing stupidity that apparently runs rampant  throughout our nation.  Despite that, I continue to be surprised.
