Here on the West Coast we have Judge Jeanine coming on
at 9PM and 1AM on FOX. She has already been on probably.
Some of the shows tend to repeat a time or three.

These days it seems nobody gets a DUI break. In some
jurisdictions it seems the bigger the fish, the better the
the status and greater the bragging rights. Having stated
that, we will never know who gets a pass because nobody
is talking. But we can guess. How about the wives, kids, and
parents of your fellow cops? Suppose a cop stops a weaving
car and the driver turns out to be the loving wife of his
bff who just happens to be patrolling at the other end of
the precinct. I certainly believe fewer big shots get DUI breaks
these days but there are still ‘don’t go to jail cards’ out there
a plenty.

GWG, thanks for the hedzup! Doesn’t take an arm twisting
to flip the TV to the Judge Jeanine program.

Whether or not she is eligible to run the IRS has yet to be
determined. However, it is clear that she is well qualified
to serve in the newly created capacity of Congressional
Democratic Liason to the Internal Revenue Service (CDLIRS)

On the one side the Republicans will want to trash the
IRS because it is beyond repair. On the other hand we
have the Democrats who believe only a minor tweaking is
needed. These are the same folks who thought that the Abu
Ghraib and Valerie Plame incidents were serious biz
while Fast and Furious and Benghazi were “sideshows”.

In my mind I don’t think there is any aspect of life that
today’s activist Democrats will not attempt to politicize
if they can milk some kind of advantage out of it at
some point and it doesn’t matter if we are talking pri-
vate organizations or government agencies....AARP,
League of Women Voters, EPA, PTA, NEA....it doesn’t
matter. If there is anything remotely political associ-
ated with it then libs want to control it....and they do.

So, whatever we do about the IRS we must remember
if we don’t address that treacherous union affiliated
with the IRS agents then we are just in for another
screwin’ down the road. Add my name to the list of
fed-up Americans who would favor sending those bastards
all to hell.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Hillary and BO were
mainly responsible for the deaths of four Americans,
the Benghazi phone call between Mr. Null and Ms. Void
would make for a hilarious Rush Limbaugh Program
parady.

I wish we would all just SHUT THE F*&% UP about impeach-
ment. When we start hearing from the rabble on the lower
end of the IQ scale we’ll know if and when it is time. If he
is impeached and is convicted what good is it if his lackies
all are left behind. Take away their hope of any success for
many years to come.

You wouldn’t expect a hungry guy to eat that ham and cheese
on rye sitting in that zip-lok bag next to that dead body, would
you?

I would like to point out why there is plenty of logic in
“keeping quiet”. If in speaking out you feel the need to
invoke “Watergate” or some other past transgression then
you have gone too far. You allow the opposition to change
the subject.....you allow them to go on offense. Instead, you
redirect them with facts. Avoid power struggles. Fifteen years
of working with severely emotionally disturbed teens has
taught me that and who is really more disturbed than libs
when they are caught in the ‘Rat trap?

Definitely not enough info here, Politico.

Remember “Never drive faster than your angels can fly”?

How about “Never travel farther than your security can
cover”?

California needs to be cut in half. Historically,
those who advocate this position are talking about
splitting the state north and south. In fact, the
state needs to be split east and west. Virtually
all of the loons and their loony ideas reside along
the coastal area which is also where the vast majority
of the population lives. However, of the coastal
part of the state it should be noted that the San
Diego region has the most potential for being normal.
Accomodations may need to be made.

If you think that persons depicted in the Santa
Cruz city council meeting are characteristic of
all Californians then you are as whack as they are.

I hope this is a joke. “Conservatives” need to do no
such thing. Americans, in general, need to wake-up
and dig deeper than what the MSM gives them. And,when
that happens you will see me next to the road. I’ll
be the one manning the torch and pitchfork concession
stand.

I understand “getting lucky” and I understand “purchasing
sex”. What I don’t understand is how the two go together?
I guess times have changed because those were once
separate things.

We can’t tell the truth about the Obama administration so
we’ll just make up stuff about the Republicans....TIME

Oh tell us OdeanO, would you trade paychecks with Rush?
Hmmm?

The O administration needs another fleet of buses.

I have listened to Limbaugh since 1985. My initial reaction
when I first heardhim on KFBK was ‘This guy says what I am
thinking almost as soon as I think it’. But I had never thought
of him as a frontman. But he is.....my frontman, too.

Sit down Beck. If such an idea were riding on a comet millions
of miles away, your involvment would insure it would delay
its’ earth arrival by trillions of light years.

It might be fun to have a FReeper diversion pool, a contest to
guess the next Obama diversion. I’m thinking it may involve
massive national scale welfare fraud or even voter fraud. It
would likely be something his toadies think will pique conserv-
ative attention or the interest of the general populace. BO
is spending a lot of time swimming in the diversion pool
these days.

The job of the news media is to comfort the afflicted
and afflict the comfortable. Opinions are fine but
I like to see issues presented fairly from all view-
points. When it comes to news, just the facts, not
spin. Liberals have proven to be incapable of reporting
without spinning and slanting. It is part of their nature.
Anything that can remotely be related to politics is
fair game to them (League of Women Voters, AARP, Ecological
organizations, etc). I would expect a conservative
controlled media to be every bit as hard on conserva-
tives and conservatisim as on liberals and liberalism.
You can’t grow and improve society without challenge.
Why so-called liberal intellectuals have never figured
this out is mindboggling.

Just my outlook.

“Needs to be made.”

Fine. I say it’s right up Quentin Tarantino’s ally. The untold WWII
story which should be made into a feature film is the Los Banos
Raid. Over 2100 starving, mostly American civilians were rescued
from a Japanese prison camp on Luzon by a company of US
paratroopers (B Co511PIR/11th AB), 11th AB Recon, Filipino
guerillas and transported to safety across a very large body of
water on 23 Feb ‘45. All of the 150 prison guards were killed or
dispersed w/out losing a prisoner. The rescue took place 30 mi
behind Japanese lines as the battle for Manila raged. A force of
8K Japanese was camped w/in a 2hr march of Los Banos while
the rescue was taking place.

If you are thinking this is the subject of the movie The Great
Raid starring Benjamin Brat (?) a few years back then you would
be wrong. It received scant attention at the time because it
happened the same day as the raising of the US flag on Mt
Surabachi on Iwo Jima by US Marines.

My rhetorical response question to Demo politicos who
charge that the whole affair is a GOP witch hunt of
Clinton and Obama is as follows: If you didn’t believe
this is a witch hunt would you be any more cooperative
or helpful than you have been so far? .....didn’t think so.

Jody Arias was the target of aggressive prosecutors in the
just concluded ex-boyfriend murder trial in Phoenix.
Because the prosecutors were so aggressive does that mean
Arias was something other than guilty?

If Clinton is blameless then what the hell difference does it
make when it comes to the motives of her pursuers? When
has political considerations ever slowed Democrats whenever
they have smelled Republican smoke? If Hilleriot is as pure
as the wind driven snow then she needs to jump right in
the middle of this to make fools of her enemies......Well?

Pretty clear that this is all Dennis Rodman diplomacy.
Hey BO, time to kiss Rodman’s ass and fire ketchupboy
Kerry.

While you might be correct, somebody would need to show
me that these terrorists had specific pre-knowledge of Stevens’
movements. Otherwise he was a target of opportunity by
terrorists who were at the right place at the right time. You
and I know in the end it is a distinction without a difference
because the Clown in Chief and his whole criminal admin-
istration own this cluster @#$&!

While “planned AN attack” makes sense, “planned THE attack”
does not sound very likely.

Sorry if this bores but by the time I knew Chief Stevens
he was one of those teachers you find in every HS (often
PE Dept) who stays past optimal retirement point because
he loved kids and didn’t know what to do w/himself. He
cut a Mr Magoo type figure w/white hair growing out his
ears and nostrils, clicking false teeth, and often had the
signature “teacher breathe”going on. You probably know
him from your own HS experience. Never had a cross word
to say and if an underclassman was giving him grief in the
hallway the kid was destined for a thumpin’ by you or
another Senior.

I had a chat-up w/ Chief at my classmate’s pharmacy in the
early 80s about 15 yrs after graduation. He was there to
have his BP read for free. I was surprised he was still
around. He passed the following week. Thanks for taking
time to read this rather ungermain stuff.

Stevens was born in my hometown but grew up down
the road in Davis. His dad was either UC Davis or state
or fed govt affliliated. Can’t recall if Chris attended UCD
or Berkeley but that isn’t hard to find out. Neither school
is going to produce the kind of person associated w/this
narrative but is no hard and fast rule, however. Suspect
he was an idealistic straight shooter although likely on
the more lefty side of politics

Why do we always assign some kind of special intelligence
to these jokers? There is enough sh*t here to nail Obama,
Clinton, and the rest without going through all these mental
gymnastics implicating Chris Stevens, etc. If the media did
their basic job these extravagent stories would never see
the light of day.

And, what do you know about Chris Stevens? What was his
military backround? What covert cred did he gain in his
career? Why does a ranking career diplomat get involved
in this cloak and dagger stuff when there are plenty of
willing bodies with exerience around?

I never knew Chris Stevens but I sure as hell knew his grandpa,
Elmer “Chief” Stevens. He was a high school teacher of mine.
I’d have to say that if the grandson was anything like his
grandfather it is highly doubtful he was involved in cloak
and dagger stuff.

Conspiracy theories?.........have your fun but I will stick with
stupid crook politians doing stupid crook politician stuff and
getting away with it because it is more important for media
watchdogs to have their guy in there then to make sure the
electorate are led by vetted and basically honest people.

You actually draw a distinction between Lost Hills and Cholame
in a world this large? Hmmm. If you find there is that much
of a geographic difference then for the sake of accuracy I will
revise my statement to reflect that the intersection of CA 41
and CA 46 near Cholame is among the most desolate areas
you can find anywhere in the Lower 48....... Fixed?

If you have ever driven thru the part of San Luis Obispo
County where James Dean was killed in a car crash at the
fork where Hwy 41 and Hwy 46 meet you would think
you were driving thru downtown Anywhere, Libya.
A more desolate place you won’t find. I drove
thru the area last weekend for the umpteenth time because I
attended college on the Central Coast back in the 70s.
That northeast part of SLO County is a hellhole while
the southeast part of the county, Pismo Beach, is more
closer to a paradise. If you have satelite map access check
out Cholame, California (or Shandon, CA). You will see what
I’m talking about.

“Bury him next to Arnold Ziffel”

Well, that sure is mean....to Arnold’s memory. How ‘bout
burying that POS out behind a Jimmy Dean factory with an
eternally looping recording of ‘Big Bad John’ piped into his
double-walled, waterproofed, cardboard casket?

Beware of whistleblowers bringing gifts. Suppose these
guys were already screened by the Rats before the GOP
Congressional front people ever interviewed them? What
will this will this look like? Eggfaced Issa and bye-bye
Benghazzi is what I see ahead. I hope they have already
been video taped spilling their guts.

Does anyone know if internet purchases shipping
charges figured into the discussions?

Limpsey, who you think you’re dealing with, a Mexican
cartel? The Mafia? Average FReepers know the outcome
of this. And, Greg Hicks, you just got the Graham cracker
kiss of death. If you don’t decide to soon suffer from
memory loss then find yourself a place to hide.

What an inspiration! Kevin, you make all of us male lesbians
burst with pride!

Political? Oh, hell yes! The most patriotic thing Pat Smith could
do is to get her face and voice on some RNC video. Don’t
trust the news media. Life is fleeting, do it now!

One of my biggest Hannity gripes is his constant use of
lists......on every topic. Usually it is the same old, tired
lists. Other than that his inability to argue beyond the
first level of a debate shows him to be a shallow
simpleton.

Somewhere between “figure out what happened” and
“do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening
again” there is 1) What should have been the response?
2) Who failed to authorize the proper response? 3) Who
participated in the cover-up?

My apologies to the board for being overly polite to the
monsters who comprise the Obama administration.

This is a lousy war but, damn it, it is the only one we’ve got!!!

On a serious note......stay the hell away. If we had a dog in
this fight both sides would be kicking it. If anything, we should
be trying to instigate civil wars within all muslim countries. Let
the bastards jihad each other into oblivion. What happens if
we stick our noses deep into Syria and something that really
deserves our attention comes along?
No. HELL NO!

Hi Kids! Its’ me, Uncle Ahmad.

Childhood isn’t “all that”. Trust me, I went through it. I
think it would a really neat idea if you would allow an
adult to strap a bomb to you. Then you could place
yourselves in the midst of the devil infidels and voilla! You send
them all to hell! And guess what? Allah will then bless
you with 72 candy bars! Sound good? Think about it.

Allah Akbar!
Uncle Ahmed

I reviewed some of the posts and it got me to thinking about
the flip side. On the surface in the post Civil War (apologies
to Southern folks offended by the term) era, the GOP was
associated with the North while the Democrat Party was
more closely associated w/ the South. How did the Dems
gain prominence in the North? What caused Teddy’s cousin
FDR to be a Dem? By the the 1950s & 60s the term ‘Dixiecrat’
referring to Southern Democrats came in to vogue as if they
were a minority within the Dem party. What about that?

OK, well, the shotgun is for protecting the house. The assault
rifle is for the protection of life and property from the goons
sent by a tyranical government run amuck. Read Madison’s
Federalist #46, Clinton, and then read the Second Amend-
ment. Amazing that the Founders figured out that sooner
or later the Clintons, Pelosis, Obamas, and Feinsteins would
show up.

This has little to do with the topic at hand except that it
involves the Philippines and US Government hanky panky
under another Democrat administration. Until WWII the
Philippine Islands were controlled by the US which was a
by-product of the Spanish American War of 1898.

In the months leading up to the Japanese attack on Hawaii
and the Philippines in Dec 1941 a large number on American
civilian businessmen became increasingly concerned about
the possibility of war so they began trying to book passage
on ships for their families to evacuate. At first they were
successful. As the year went on, however, more and more
of the families were being bumped off of their vessel reservations.

I personally knew a lady whose husband was a mining engineer
on the main island of Luzon. She visited the American Consulate
in Manila during the Summer of 1941. She wanted to know if
she should book passage for a return to the US for her and her
4 yr old son. She was told that the Philippines was the safest
place in the world and she had nothing to fear. Later, when she
became a prisoner of the Japanese she learned from fellow
American civilian prisoners that American civilians had been
bumped off their passage reservations in favor of military
families. It turns out that the US government believed that
an exodus of so many American civilians would be noticed
by the Filipino populace and a panic might ensue. Since
military families tended to live on bases and mingled less
with the locals, their departure would be less noticed.

Did the US government have a special responsibility to
protect the families of servicemen? Yes, of course. Did
they have the right to lie to American civilians? Absolutely not.
Did I mention it was the FDR crowd that did the lying?

Chemical weapons? Now, where on earth did Syria get
chemical weapons? Iran? North Korea? Somewhere else?
Or did they manufacture the chemicals themselves?

Everybody knows Iraq had chemical weapons that they
used against Iran and their own people. And, of course
we all know Bush “lied” about Iraq’s chemical weapons.
But, has anybody ever sought out the location Iraq’s
leftover chemical weapons from the Iran-Iraq war?
Where were they destroyed? I must have missed
something. My apologies to the Bush haters if I did.

Maher is your typical bedwetting liberal pond scum.
He couldn’t change enough to satisfy me although in many
cases I welcome those who see the light. Personally, I
am not even bothered by conservative athiests. But there
is way too much slimy factor going on, here. Stay where you’re
at butt nugget Billy. You wear it well.

Well don’t give up on MSNBC altogether. The difference between
them and Jon Stewart is that he & Colbert try to be funny and
aren’t while MSNBC is trying to be serious when, actually,
they’re funny as hell. cheers!

Since Sgt Schultz was sent packing Racial Madcow has become
the third most important drama queen behind O’donnell and
Matthews at MSNBC. Glad you know?

“The media will ignore it and things will go on as before.”

This is no longer a nation of laws. It is a nation of
public opinion. And who informs the public? The old
media is not dying....far from it.

Vince Foster to Chris Stevens: “Welcome to the club.”
