Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life."

CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life....

Exactly! The same crowd that said “if it saves one life” had their chance to save four, and passed.

"Cummings (D-MD) - 'Death is part of life..."

If a Republican congress-critter had said that under similar circumstances, there would be calls for censure or their resignation.

I said that death is a part of life....

This sounds like a default of justice. The man who adopts a policy of moral neutrality, refraining equally from praise or blame does not wipe out the moral facts thereby.What he accomplishes instead is to blind himself to the role of morality in man's life, subvert his own character, and lose the ability to deal with other men on the basis of objective principles.The result is to consign his human relationships to the realm of chance.And in addition, he becomes and ally in the sense of leaving evil uncensored and unopposed, free to continue its course of destruction,.

Of course, if it’s a black death then it’s a racist lynchin’.

That isn’t their position when it comes to gun violence in America.

Same with the way they don’t want all Islamist muslims in America tainted by the actions (they support and shelter) of Isalmonazi terrorists yet all gun owners can be painted with a broad brush of “potential KILLERS”.

Another ignorant communist heard from.
Only this one has an IQ probably less than -1.
He is a classic example of the disease called liberalism.

“Elijah Cummings, Major Owen, John Conyers, James Clyburn, Alcee Hastings, Jesse Jackson Jr.....is there a pattern here?”

Is racism a pattern? Then yes, there is.

The Rat leadership must think this committee is worthless, so they have stuck a bunch of their dumbest members there, just to give them something to do.

Party before country. That sums up the Democratic Party in a nutshell and we’re supposed to find common ground with this crowd?

If it ever gets to the point where we need to exterminate these rats...can't say I'd be all that bothered.

Hopefully he’ll remember the shame of that utterance when one of his loved ones dies.

I doubt that this subhuman has any "loved ones". They are just "assets".

4 dead people would disagree it’s part of their life. But...they’re dead and can’t say anything.
