Oh What a Tangled Web [Benghazi]

Supporters of President Obama have dubbed those who question administration statements about Libya as either partisans or conspiracy theorists, on the premise that the administration had no reason to dissimulate. But in fact, it had plenty of political reasons not to be candid, as the following questions make clear................................

Not certain what to say at this point. Not confused, simply cannot believe the double standard of our drive-bys. Knew it (the double standard) existed though. The standard is not productive for those knowing the truth or other truths when a news organizations in America become the standard bearer for no desire to root out the truth and instead would state lies as truths. Lies bring nations to their knees. This has been witnessed in Europe, Russia, China, throughout Africa, the Middle East, and currently America is being made a lesser nation by our drive-bys refusal to report the truth. Our elected opposition are all too willing to see America knocked to her knees by coordinated attacks from the rats and drive-bys. The facts were once hidden in reporting. Some knew, most did not. Currently lies and liars come in the form of in ones face lies, with an acceptance of a majority of our citizens. Was true once and is true again.

Not of a mind to surrender, Mesta. I will stand with you, and not stand down. This battle will be long and most difficult. If America should fall, it will be the fall of Freedom for all this world. Not sure how the battle is going on the field, though reports are enough to make one believe there have been more losses than we are being told. If God has turned his back, on America, we will know soon enough. With the election gone, regretfully, we may have seen the first clue, and the second clue came from the coverage of the cover-up telling those who know the truth another lie of nothing out of the ordinary.

Good Luck FRiend. Some of us shall fight on should this battle be lost. I know you are one who will.

Sincerely,

The other annex personnel are undercover. I would hope the CIA is not going to voluntarily release their identities. What if, for example, one of them was working with an asset in Pakistan that led to finding bin Ladin—that asset would land in jail or worse. We’ve already seen that happen We’ve already seen that this administration does not care about protecting assets if it benefits them politically.

I also struggle with the question you’ve proposed.

I see two answers:

1) Better leaders who are able to unite groups with different objectives or beliefs under one unifying theme. Reagan accomplished this.
2) The unifying them - love of country (i.e. good old fashioned patriotism). Reagan understood this.

Yes, we need leaders.

However, the moral underpinning which built our nation, has been systematically weakened. Our houses of worship have failed to hold to the truth and failed to teach their flocks the word of God. Strong leaders are grounded in Judeo-Christian belief and understand how exceptionalism springs from freedom — the individual raised in liberty (and the Constitution and rule of law).

Where will our leaders come from?

Green is the new religion. Mother Earth is the new altar.

One thing we have going for us is the innate human desire for freedom when oppression becomes intolerable. The Christian religion grew rapidly during the Roman Empire despite persecution we cannot imagine today. Despite death, enslavement and torture the early Christians found the promise of eternal salvation more compelling than the giving in to the forces of evil on earth. Likewise the Jews survived oppression during Roman times and the Middle Ages. Despite the corruption of the organized church, the Christian religion provided hope for the oppressed masses of Europe during the Middle Ages. Protestants survived persecution during the Reformation. Even the black slaves of pre Civil War America adopted Christianity and found both hope and comfort in the message of God. Today small groups of Christians maintain still the faith even in the face of brutal oppression in Islamic countries.

While the mainstream churches of today’s America may die, history suggests the evangelicals, and perhaps Christian groups that do not exist today, will survive and ultimately prosper no matter how dark the days ahead of us. In fact the power if the message of Christ seems to be strongest in the worst of times.

We seem to be living during a time when civilization is losing to the barbarians. I perceive the advent of a new dark age which may last a millennia or longer. Perhaps Islam will sweep the world, perhaps technology will facilitate the Orwellian dictatorship, perhaps an EMP attack will kill millions while taking us back to a preindustrial society, or perhaps there will be decades of anarchy and destruction. No matter how the coming collapse of the free society manifests itself I have faith enough true Christians will survive to carry the message of Christ and the moral values needed to someday create a new civilization where individuals will be free.
