WARNING!! - - - - this email contains VERY upsetting pictures.....view at your own risk.......I'm serious.....
These are pictures you will not see in the Empty Chair media. Our US Ambassador to Libya being dragged through the streets before being murdered.
Here
is our American Ambassador, J. Christopher Stevens, diplomat, father,
husband, and American Citizen, being dragged through the streets of
Benghazi, and your President does NOTHING! . . .

except go to Las Vegas for a fund raiser, plus two more today.
To
most Americans this is an act of war. To our "president", it's just
another act of office violence like Fort Hood. He and the Secy of State
have already apologized and will soon send them another $6.3 Billion in
foreign aid. This is as sad as it gets.

+12Anyone who votes for Comrade Sheikh Obama is every bit as bad as those murdering scumbags
It was a mob, not the entire country that attacked the embassy. The main reason we are hated in the middle east is because of our horrid foreign policy, and our constent mingling in the affairs of other nations.
This is exactly what my point was. The ignorant masses always want to rush to action in a situation like this without even thinking or considering the consequences!
The fight/war would be against those of the Fanatical/murderous arm of Islam...the Islamists, Muslim Brotherhoood, AQ, Talibananas etc...such as it was when the Templars and Hospitallerswere fighting the Infidels on the East 800 & 900 yrs ago. The knights did not brutalize the locals but fought the fanatics on the battlefield....this is the analogy of the 'Crusade' which seems to be the only thing these murdering bastards understand, and if it takes another Crusade to rid the world of this scum, then so be it!!
We don't have the money to get in another pointless war! But whatever! We've already bombed several other middle-eastern countries to hell, what difference is another going to make, huh? -_-
Please, explain to me. I'd be glad to hear your side of this. Don't [...]assume I know nothing because I'm young, and that you automatically know more than others. Give me a good reason why you feel that it is reasonable to attack an entire country, because the actions of a few.
By the way, you can consult one of your teachers if needed.
We stick our noses up everyones asses, and get involved in things that we have no buisness in. Mabye instead of trying to act as the policeman of the world, we should focus on our OWN country. We spend more on our military budget than all of the other major powers combined! Imagine all the good that could be done if some of that money were instead put toward things like education, medicine, infrastructure, the economy, etc.
9/11 is beside the point though. The ambassador and a few others were killed by a mob. To use that as an excuse to delcare war against an entire country, is beyond absurd. People like you always want to rush to action to quickly, and never think out the consequences of our actions. No one learns from history..
Correction: No one learns from historybuff782..
hind sight is usually 20/20, so you get no kudos for monday morning quarterbacking.
our business is everywhere. even back to the beginning of the Republic, the US Navy is a creation of Jefferson finding that his (and our) options were very limited when people dictate to us.
yes. we do spend more on our military than anyone else in the world. and we sure can spend less and make those dollars go further. i don't think that anyone would disagree. we also spend far more than anyone else in the world on education, and we are currently ranked 27th in outcome.
i get a knot in my stomach when you simply repeat the democrat mantra about spending MORE on things like education (clearly, money is NOT the issue), medicine ( if Obamacare is finally and fully implemented THAT will break the bank and cause unlimited suffering (find and watch Soylent Green for one possible outcome (just watch the Edward G Robinson character)), infrastructure is whatever the democrats want it to be, and the economy (they clearly have no idea what they are doing except spending other people's money)
9/11 is NOT beside the point. People respect you or people fear you. Under Obama , we are neither feared nor respected. THAT is intolerable and THAT is what history teaches us.
weakness, by itself, is provocative.

American 'exceptionalism' is nothing more than an arrogant, egotistical view promoting the idea that we are somehow 'above' other nations.
Jefferson never intended for us to be an interventionist nation. The US Navy was formed mainly as a means of defense against our enemies, not as a force to attack other nations on a hair trigger without justification.
We don't need to spend anymore on our damn military than we already do. If we cut some funds on the military budget (doesn't have to be a big chunk), we'll be fine. I believe that education should be mainly handled by the states instead of the Federal government.
I do NOT support the individual mandate of Obamacare, however I do support the majority of the rest. If a poor family doesn't have the money for insurance, they won't get thrown on the streets. If someone with the money wants to buy their own healthcare, that should be their choice. But the healthcare will be there for people who can't afford medical insurance. Besides, it was based on Romney's plan in the first place! Yet you don't mention that..
Infrastructure is "whatever the democrats want it to be...

Infrastructure is "whatever the democrats want it to be"? Please, explain that to me.
I'm not saying we should be isolationist, or 'weak', militarily. But as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. We should only get involved in a conflict if it is a direct threat to our national security. The countries of Iraq and Afghanistan are not threats. Bush said they had WMD's, none were found.
The primary reason we're in the middle east is oil. Not to "fight for our freedoms", or "liberate the people". Oil, the almighty petro-dollar. The oil companies and government have been in bed together for years.
yeah. you're mistaken. go reread why the Navy was put together. the Marine hymn gets you a long way there.
American Exceptionalism is far more than what you think that it is. you REALLY need to dig into it.
cutting funds out of the military budget 'just because' is not a rational method.
kudos for your emotional choice to support the PPACA. emotion is why we got stuck with that lemon of a bill. there are a multitude of ways to get the same thing without blowing up the economy.
democrat infrastructure is things like arbitrarily acting as venture capitalists using taxpayer money for solar and wind plays, while meaningfully deciding to punish coal. its using taxpayer money to apply to 'shovel ready jobs' when jobs that could be created with those mamoth scale jobs take eyars to prep.
basically, its the same trap that Japan fell into in 1990 to try and stimulate their way out of their real estate bust. the time period known as their 'Lost Decade' with no real national growth along with massive gov't debt. basically, the same path that we are on with Obama.
Bush said Iraq had WMD. Afghanistan's Taliban coddled Al Qaeda and wouldn't give them up to us. usi...

Bush said Iraq had WMD. Afghanistan's Taliban coddled Al Qaeda and wouldn't give them up to us. using that 20/20 hindsight, Iraq wasn't the right move. Afghanistan was a good move that Obama will wind up squandering.
if not us, who? if not now, when?
There is no point in continuing this fruitless argument anymore. You seem to think that I've been brainwashed by "Da Liberal lies!" (When I'm not even a liberal at all). I think you've been watching a bit too much of FAUX News and whatever spews out of Bill O'Reilly's mouth.
The Republican party today is a sad shadow of what it once was (same with the Democrats). The *True* conservatives of the past, such as Barry Goldwater or Eisenhower, would be rolling in their graves if they saw what has become of the GOP-
it doesn't matter if you wrap yourself up with names and faces of 50 years ago.
you're aiding and comforting the lefties.
Ron Paul and Gary Johnson are irrelevant. this is a race between Romney and Obama. using those democrat 'sources' to knock down Romney, then conflating them both as indistinguishable means that we'll get saddled with Obama again.
unless you're a dyed in the wool democrat, returning Obama (a known failure) is a massive fail, unless you like unemployment, struggling GDP growth, and a president that thrives on divisiveness.
If you really enjoy history read up on WWII. If we had not stepped in what would the world look like? Sometimes you have to step up and do the right thing. Even at a personal cost.
There is no way to 'win' in a situation like that. All we've accomplished is the drainage of our money/resources, which I believe is exactly their aim.
Would you have had us turn our backs on the holocaust? How about all those people that saddam and his sons murdered? Thousands of them.
Should we close our eyes to those that are being persecuted?
So, according to your logic, NOT going around bombing other countries to pieces and killing millions in the crossfire makes us look WEAK?
What is this obsession with appearing "weak"? We already have the most powerful military force in the world. What the hell will appease you people? Nuking anyone who shows the slightest amount of discontent toward us? Just how far will you go simply to show off our muscle??
WWII was a matter of absolute neccessity. It wasn't a conflict over wealth or resources (for the most part). Saddam was bad, yes, but he kept Iran in check. With him gone, now you have a much worse situation with Iran.
Understanding the minds of the terrorist, they view weakness in many different ways.
saddam and his sons killed thousands, sure wish he was back to make things better. NOT
War shouldn't be the first measure, but it should always be on the table.
