What is lacking in today’s body politic is a philosophy that can be advanced BECAUSE of the veiled threats of doom by the opposition.
Without that “Damn the torpeodes! Full speed ahead!” philosophy, the meekest member of the opposition can turn us into sniveling, sobbing, cowards such as Boehner and McConnell.
For example, the manipulating, fear-mongering, threat of doom and gloom promoted by the supporters of Government harm to our Republic that a certain Republican action would “shutdown the Government” SHOULD be a clarion call for Republicans to shut down the Government to right the wrong that the Government is currently doing.
To not shut down the Government is to support continuation of the wrong that the Government is currently doing.
Whatever wrong is being protected by the supporters of Governmental wrong, SHOULD BE our signal that we should focus on undoing what they are trying to protect, coverup, or hide.
What is required to right the wrong is known to all Warriors: THE COURAGE OF ONE’S CONVICTIONS.
Instead, today in our sorry body politic, these are times of whimpering, timid, compromise-away-one’s-values in the false hope of achieving the equivalent of a 1960’s group hippie hug.
These are times when we wait silently for a larger than life, Warrior to swoop in on a white horse and make everything nicey-nice again.
These are times when the majority of people who vote choose politicians that promise pie-in-the-sky to them, and then these same politicians get put in charge of increasing the debt burden on our Grandchildren’s descendants.
Thus, we have a self-caused burden of a virtual cycle of debt to our descendants caused by promises that we choose to vote for.
These are the times when the obvious solution to these problems can be seen by “The Man in the Glass.”

The Man in the Glass
by Dale Wimbrow, (c) 1934
1895-1954
When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Whose judgment upon you must pass.
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the man staring back from the glass.
You may be like Jack Horner and “chisel” a plum,
And think you’re a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum
If you can’t look him straight in the eye.
He’s the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
For he’s with you clear up to the end,
And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may get what you want down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you’ve cheated the guy in the glass.
Truth will out!
ISSA, EITHER POOP OR GET OFF THE POT AND LET GOWDY TAKE OVER. ARE YOU PURPOSEFULLY RUNNING OUT THE CLOCK FOR ØBAMA?
“I don’t know what the circumstances are of any requests to talk to them or not” the other jfk...2013
What a mangled bag of jibber jabber
ISSA, EITHER POOP OR GET OFF THE POT AND LET GOWDY TAKE OVER. ARE YOU PURPOSEFULLY RUNNING OUT THE CLOCK FOR ØBAMA?
Ummm... was that actually a question?
Perhaps Issa is afraid he’ll get the same treatment that Michael Hastings did for investigating the CIA’s John Brennan. No one dare expose that our government has been overthrown by Marxist terrorist-sympathizers.
Reminded me of a story Ann Coulter told once:
At a cocktail party in DC - John Kerry walks right up to her and looks through her.
An aide instantly comes up and says to Ann: "Senator Kerry would like you to move so he can walk through".
That's still funny..........
The whole administration - and their international stooges - need the gallows treatment.
Unfortunately, there will be a holocaust first.
This is by far, the worst, most corrupt and harmful president and administration that has ever been elected and assembled. They are swiftly turning the United States into an international joke, and an impoverished banana republic, while the media refuses to tell the truth and reveal it. In fact, they worship Obama as some God, like some amazon jungle tribe worships an airplane that flew by. Not for any real reason, they just do, because they simply liked the color of it, or they simply lack the intellectual abilities to know any better, and don’t care.
Sharyl Attkisson doesn’t seem to be backing down.
Benghazi bump.
Issa is a former Army bomb disposal expert....I would guess he is not easily intimidated.
yes
It is beginning to smell like that murder of the four were caused by this Administration.
Everybody knows this administration and this government is corrupt but no one with clout is willing to say the word corruption publicly. Pro constitutionalists, Tea Party folks, are labeled as anarchists by the insider DC politicians. In turn, those politicians need to be tagged as corrupted and are bad for this country. How can the dems, the RINOs or any other POS insider possibly argue convincingly against the monumental evidence that supports that point? CALL IT WHAT IT IS!!
Hey homie, Is that available on a bumper sticker?
Time for a short dance on the end of a long rope for these monstrous pieces of collectivist / eliminationist filth.
Nothing short of another cilvil war will be needed to sort this out.
Today, CIA Director John Brennan said that Benghazi survivors haven't been threatened...to the best of his knowledge [typical weasel words]. Brennan tells Congress that Benghazi survivors will be made available for questioning. Maybe Brennan should consult with John Effen Kerry!
In the meantime, one year after the murders, we have 5 separate House Committees investigating Benghazi, and even though 12 probable suspects have been identified in Libya, no one has been held accountable.
Can he legally do that? If true there must be more than one way to skin a cat.
