Progressives, Dems Slap the Faces of Benghazi Dead newmediajournal.us Frank Salvato September 20, 2013 In a move that illustrates why the overwhelming majority of American’s have grown to despise partisan politics – and come to be understandably offended by the actions of the Left, Progressives and Democrats on the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee executed – under the guise of protest – one of the most insensitive and disrespectful actions in the history of the United States House of Representatives. They staged a pre-planned and organized “walkout” before the testimonies of the families of those slaughtered in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Those elected to office are sent to Washington to represent the whole of their constituencies, not just those with whom they agree. By staging this inarguably childish – and ultimately selfish – political theater, they have abdicated their responsibility to represent those with whom they disagree ideologically. This is an abdication of their obligation to the office; to their constituents. It is an action that even their supporters should abhor and, in fact, penalize them for. The Capitalism Institute reports: Earlier today, an important hearing regarding the attack on Benghazi was being held by the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee. The parents of the Benghazi heroes who died fighting to protect the US consulate were about to speak. Then, in a turn of events that’s disgusting even by DC standards, most of the Democrats stood up and walked out. Apparently, they were either protesting or trying to show disrespect — either way, if there was any honor in their districts at all, this would end their careers... Here’s the list of people who walked out: Carolyn Maloney (P-NY) Danny Davis (P-IL) Eleanor Holmes Norton (P-DC) Gerald E. Connolly (D-VA) Jim Cooper (D-TN) John Tierney (P-MA) Mark Pocan (P-WI) Matt Cartwright (P-PA) Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) Peter Welch (P-VT) Stephen Lynch (D-MA) Steven Horsford (P-NV) Tammy Duckworth (P-IL) Tony Cardenas (D-CA) William Lacy Clay (D-MO) Remember, last week John Kerry stopped the Benghazi survivors from being even questioned by congress. What were these vicious ideologues trying to prove? That they could be indignant to the point of insulting parents and family who had to receive coffins in place of an embrace from their loved ones as they returned home from serving their country? What was the statement the country was supposed to take away from their actions? That they are too good to listen to the grief that their political party’s infantile foreign policy has foisted onto these families? Will these indignant Progressive and Liberal zealots have us believe that there was some “higher principle” to take away from their affront to the aggrieved; some “larger purpose” to their hate-filled and arrogant actions?
