Democrats have always declared themselves to be the caring, for-the-little-people, for-the-children party. Whenever they want to make political points, they pull out their tug-on-the-heartstrings mantra claiming that the republicans want old people to eat cat food and children to starve.

Yet anyone who has been paying attention, especially over the last fifty years, knows full well that, to leftists, individual people are nothing more than a part of a collective whole. They have no value on their own. And the collective whole is only valuable insofar as it can further the aims of the leftist political agenda.

The most accurate, telling pictorial example of this dichotomy took place when Bill Clinton was exiting from Ron Brown's funeral, laughing himself silly ... until he recognized that he was on camera ... at which point his demeanor instantly changed from jovial to mournful, including the wiping of a fake tear from his eye.

Every time I hear a leftist talk about his own compassion, his life-long devotion to helping the common man, that picture of Clinton forms in my mind, because it is the epitome of the leftist mindset. There is one face placed before the microphone and the camera ... a compassionate, self-sacrificing one ... and that facade sits 180-degrees distant from his genuine goals, which are to oppress the masses and install a ruling elite who will make all the important decisions for the rest of us, utterly destroying individual freedoms, and our God-given free will.

I was picturing Clinton's phony tears, yet again, as I read this story about what the democrats did to the families of the Benghazi victims. The caring party did not have the courtesy to listen to people whose loved ones perished, some of them in unspeakably torturous ways, as a direct result of the dereliction of duty of the caring party's president and the the caring party's secretary of state. And yet, the next time conservatives on the hill balk at an increase in entitlement spending, these same cretins will dare to call them heartless!

Pickering: I'm Proud of the Hillary Benghazi Whitewash Report We Produced


Katie Pavlich 9/19/2013

Testifying Thursday in front of the House Oversight Committee, Ambassador and former Chairman of the Benghazi Accountability Review Board [ARB] Thomas Pickering said he was proud of report produced by the ARB that has been described as a " whitewash."

"I am aware that no report will ever be perfect. But I am proud of this one which has always been seen by many as clear, cogent and very hard hitting - as it should be," Pickering said. "I feel that this report is still on the mark, free of cover up and political tilt, and will personally welcome anything new which sheds light on what happened that helps us to protect American lives and property in the future."

Pickering said during his investigation of the Benghazi attack more than 100 people were interviewed, not one of them was former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Pickering also said the ARB was not a "gotcha, investigative" panel. It was also revealed members of the ARB regularly briefed Clinton and her closed advisors on the status of their probe and that the ARB showed Clinton the report before it was released.

"Obviously this was not a gotcha panel because nobody was 'gotchaed,'" Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa said.

During the hearing, Republican Rep. John Mica pointed out Clinton appointed four out of the five members of the ARB board investigating the Benghazi attack. The ARB describes itself as "independent."


One of the main questions from the American people and from Congress regarding the Benghazi attack remains, why did the military never show up to help? Diplomatic Security agent David Ubben has been receiving treatment at Walter Reed Military Medical Center after being severely wounded during the Benghazi attack. Ubben waited on top of a roof for 20 hours before help arrived. He waited with Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, who were both killed by mortar fire on the roof. Ubben survived, but had his right leg shredded.

"An order to stand down was never given,"Admiral and former Vice Chairman of the Benghazi ARB Michael Mullen said.

Mullen admitted that although many military forces, including forced in nearby Europe, "moved" the night of the Benghazi attack, they never made it to the scene. Mullen argued military movement "isn't something that can just happen" and that it "takes time."

"At the time of the attack, there were no aircraft ready to go," Mullen said.

The Benghazi attack happened on the 11th anniversary of 9/11/2001, the consulate had previously been attacked twice and Ambassador Chris Stevens had for months repeatedly submitted requests for more security at the consulate. Those requests, were ignored.

"The primary responsibility for their [consulate] security, rests with the host country," Pickering said.

Michael Eric Dyson, a Georgetown University professor and regular MSNBC contributor, said of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on the network’s show “Martin Bashir,” “A symbolic Jew has invited a metaphoric Hitler to commit holocaust and genocide upon his own people.”

Far from begetting disciplinary action or even public statements of disapproval from the network or the university where he teaches, Dyson’s remarks earned him a spot on the following Sunday’s “Meet the Press” and appearances on subsequent MSNBC programs.
