<p>Since it&#8217;s pretty evident we DO NOT ANY LONGER live under the Rule of Law, why do I need to obey laws government officials disobey at their leisure &#8211; all the while collecting salary, benefits and perks I PAY FOR at the cost of lowering MY FAMILY&#8217;s standard of living?</p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s just time to acknowledge that the Rule of Law no longer applies&#8230; and act accordingly?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How do you spell &#8220;toast&#8221;? O B A M A</p>
<p>So Obama – TODAY – has lost MSNBC, who are talking impeachment possibility, the BBC, who are doing the same, ABC, who led this morning with the original and final Benghazi Talking Points.</p>
<p>By tonight they will have lost CBS and NBC, is my guess.</p>
<p>If Obama has lost MSNBC and the BBC, he’s toast.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Obama is DONE. Whether or not he’s impeached (highly improbable), he has lost ALL political capital and ability to set the agenda.</p>
<p>Hillary is done – can’t imagine her major donors answering her phone calls anymore, so she’ll not run in 2016.</p>
<p>What to do?</p>
<ol>
<li>Elect Rand or Cruz or Scott Walker or Nikki the Speaker of the House. (Speaker need not be a member of the House or Congress.)</li>
<li>Impeach, convict and remove Obama</li>
<li>25<sup>th</sup> Biden because he really DOES lack the intellectual capacity to do the job; yes, he really IS that stupid.</li>
<li>President Rand / Cruz / Walker / Hayley</li>
<li>FREEDOM!</li>
</ol>
<p>Will any of these steps actually happen? Nahhh… not enough guts in DC… but it’s fun to dream.</p>
<p>But I think it’s pretty clear that the GOP will keep the House &amp; take the Senate in 2014, and will win the Presidency in 2016. Dems have no bench of which I am aware (at least not until Christie switches parties), and the GOP has at least the four folks listed above…</p>
<p>We do live in interesting times don’t we?</p>

<p>I&#8217;m an NRA Life Member and a sport shooter &amp; reloader, as are my wife and kids, and more than irritated that I can&#8217;t carry in CA, but THIS is an idea that HAS NOT been thought-through.</p>
<p>If anyone can think of a better way to prove to the American public that everyone with a gun is a nut, I&#8217;m all ears.</p>
<p>I really don&#8217;t CARE if you think it&#8217;s legal (and I question whether, under REPRESENTATIVE LAW in DC that it is &#8211; aren&#8217;t we FOR representative law?), it is STUPENDOUSLY DUMB. The odds are very good that some idiot &#8211; cop or marcher &#8211; will start something and people will die.</p>
<p>If you ever have believed any of the stuff about a &#8220;false flag&#8221; op, then you must realize that THIS is the single best opportunity EVER for the Left to launch one &#8211; and it&#8217;d only take ONE ROUND &#8211; and destroy the 2nd Amendment forever.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re gonna arm-up and march to make a point, you are marching RIGHT INTO THEIR HANDS, THEIR TRAP, THEIR AMBUSH.</p>
<p>If you think this will cause ANYONE who is UNDECIDED on guns or conservatives to move to our side, you are not thinking clearly.</p>
<p>This is a great way to start a massacre and lose our Constitutional freedoms and have martial law declared in DC and perhaps elsewhere, allowing the Left to make HUGE and INSTANT strides against freedom &amp; liberty&#8230; but it is NOTHING ELSE.</p>
<p>If you are even considering joining this march, please re-think your decision. To say that this march would be &#8220;counterproductive&#8221; would be the biggest understatement in history.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Benghazi:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I just emailed with my roommate at USAFA, a career (now retired) F15 fighter pilot, a USAFA grad and retired Colonel, USAF, who has operated in the region. Here&#8217;s his report:</p>
<p>&#8220;The last step in a close-in PGM drop/release is for someone on the ground to laser the target. That was done. Then &#8212; no drop. Someone said &#8216;No&#8217; at the last second.&#8221;</p>
<p>WHO SAID “NO”???</p>
<p>(PGMs are smart bombs – Precision Guided Munitions.)</p>
<p>Re-read that: &#8220;…the LAST STEP.&#8221;</p>
<p>General Ham (AFRICOM) owned ALL AC130 and armed drones in-theater. Ham was relieved that night &#8211; by some reports, within 30 sec of his talking with Obama. Admiral Gaouette owned all FA18 in the Med &#8211; he was relieved the next day. (And contemporaneous news reports were that the 6<sup>th</sup> Fleet was offshore Libya at the time – within minutes of flight time to Benghazi.)</p>
<p>WHY were they relieved? WERE attack assets overhead and – LITERALLY AT THE LAST SECOND – were those attack assets denied engagement by whoever replaced an instantly-relieved General Ham?</p>
<p>If those attack assets were not overhead, HOW can the lasing of the target be explained? One of the SEALs, alone, under attack and outgunned, left his machinegun to lase a target under an empty sky? NO ONE in the entire military would believe that.</p>
<p>If attack assets were not overhead, HOW can the sacking of two flag officers be explained?</p>
<p>I have NEVER been as embarrassed by our entire government as I am today.  They are spending ALL DAY on side issues that all can devolve  - and have devolved &#8211; into he-said-he-said. WHERE ARE ADMIRAL GAOUETTE AND GENERAL HAM?</p>
<p>We WILL NOT KNOW what happened without their testimony.</p>
<p>Does ISSA not get this? How can he not? What is he hiding and why?</p>
<p>But &#8211; Ham and Gaouette are CITIZEN SOLDIERS. Their  FIRST DUTY is as AMERICAN CITIZENS.</p>
<p>WHERE ARE THEY? WHY have they not spoken-up? WHY has Issa not put them on the stand?</p>
<p>ANYONE relying on a currently-serving general officer or SecDef &#8211; BOTH of whom ARE POLITICAL APPOINTEES, or even a recently-retired C-JCS &#8211; the MOST POLITICAL OFFICER IN THE ENTIRE COMMAND STRUCTURE &#8211; is either abysmally ignorant of the military, does NOT want to know the truth, or is hiding something.</p>
<p>I understand that these two retired officers speaking up could cost them all retirement benefits (though Congress can override that) and that their peer-group as retirees is fellow flag officers, from whom they may ostracize themselves. BUT THEY HAVE A DUTY TO AMERICA that OVERRIDES THEIR PERSONAL COMFORT.</p>
<p>Hell &#8211; they USED to be fighting men.</p>
<p>Not to put too fine a point on it: Congress is failing in their oversight role. General Ham and Admiral Gaouette have epically failed in their responsibility to Americans as CITIZEN soldiers.</p>
<p>And of course the Obama administration has been lying about Benghazi since it occurred. But, frankly, most Americans already understand that Obama lies whenever and about whatever he wants, even when it’s not necessary. And Hillary has been called a liar for years – even by Barbara Walters in her 1996 interview, and by CBS News over the ‘we-landed-under-sniper-fire’ fiasco. So no one really expected honesty from the Administration.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today when I picked up my son from high school he asked what was going on – and not going on – with today’s Issa hearings into Benghazi. I told him and he said, – ‘it doesn’t really matter who’s in power, Democrat or Republican, whoever is just becomes part of the overall government that doesn’t want anyone to know what’s going on. Congress just joins whoever is holding the presidency as part of the big power structure.’</p>
<p>He is an engaged citizen. He WATCHES the news. We DISCUSS the day’s events. He UNDERSTANDS responsibility</p>
<p>Do you know what it’s like not being able to defend YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT to YOUR OWN SON?  A government in which you always have believed, a government that is SUPPOSED to be representative OF, BY and FOR We the People? A government you once served as a Cadet in the Air Force Academy, hoping to have a career in military service?</p>
<p>To have a son who can reach by logical thought and current experience the only possible conclusion – that NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE LAW? That NO ONE CARES about Americans who got killed? That America&#8217;s government cares ONLY about ITSELF?</p>
<p>That EVERYONE on BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE is in it ONLY for political gain?</p>
<p>It is disgusting and embarrassing.</p>
<p>More than that, it is enormously disappointing, both to me and my son. How is he supposed to live a life respecting his government when THIS crap occurs?</p>
<p>NOTHING is more important to me than my family and my country. NOTHING.</p>
<p>And my country has embarrassed me today &#8211; enormously.</p>
