The Battling Bastards of Benghazi

(From a retired Marine Sniper):

The Battling Bastards of Benghazi



We're the Battling Bastards of Benghazi,

no fame, no glory, no paparazzi.

Just a firey death in a blazing hell,

defending the country we loved so well.

It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,

fought to the consulate, 'n scaled th' wall.

We pulled thirty countrymen from the jaws of fate,

led them to safety, 'n stood at th' gate.

Just the two of us, 'n foe by th' score,

but we stood fast to bar th' door.

We called for reinforcement, but it was denied,

so we fought, 'n we fought, 'n we fought, 'n we died.

We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,

'n Obama didn't give a damn,

just two dead SEALS, who carried the load,

no thanks to us, we were just bumps in the road.

An Election Prayer to Mary

O Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, at this most critical time, we entrust the United States of America to your loving care.

Most Holy Mother, we beg you to reclaim this land for the glory of your Son. Overwhelmed with the burden of the sins of our nation, we cry to you from the depths of our hearts and seek refuge in your motherly protection.

Look down with mercy upon us and touch the hearts of our people. Open our minds to the great worth of human life and to the responsibilities that accompany human freedom.

Free us from the falsehoods that lead to the evil of abortion and threaten the sanctity of family life. Grant our country the wisdom to proclaim that God’s law is the foundation on which this nation was founded, and that He alone is the True Source of our cherished rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

O Merciful Mother, give us the courage to reject the culture of death and the strength to build a new Culture of Life.

Senator Pat Roberts: The Benghazi Betrayal

From Westernfreepress.com:

The Benghazi Betrayal: Sufficient Cause to Eject Barack Obama from the White House

NOVEMBER 2 2012 BY DAVID LEEPER | VIEW OTHER POSTS BY DAVID LEEPER

Before voting for President, any Obama supporter who has not yet succumbed to willful self-deception should consider carefully the remarks of Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) in his October 31 video interview and his letter (below) to President Obama.

Senator Roberts is the most senior Marine in the congress, a former member of the Senate Committee on Armed Services, and  a former chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Beyond the betrayal and loss of life, Roberts describes how the Benghazi disgrace has spawned a horrid new Obama administration doctrine that appears to void “the sacred bond of never leaving a military comrade in distress or danger.”

Lawyers use the term dispositive to describe information or evidence that unequivocally brings a controversy or proceeding to a conclusion.  After hearing Sen. Roberts and reading his letter, even still-hopeful supporters of President Obama may find the Obama administration’s actions dispositive for the Nov. 6 election.

If Barack Obama, before the Nov. 6 election, does not publicly provide the detailed information that Sen. Roberts calls for, then he is no longer qualified to be Commander in Chief or President for a second term. Every voter should have this information before the election, not after.  For the President to withhold that information is sufficient cause for an Obama supporter to withhold her vote — if not to vote for Obama’s opponent outright.

Moreover, if Barack Obama is somehow still re-elected, then Congress should move immediately to draft articles of impeachment for both him and the Vice President.  Arguably, over the past four years, there have been other instances of impeachment-worthy violations of the President’s oath of office, but the Benghazi betrayal/cover-up appears to be so heinous that it alone may be sufficient.  Surely the Benghazi travesty is greater cause by far than the causes of past impeachment initiatives against Presidents Clinton and Nixon.  It is the smoking gun.

[Letter to President Obama signed by Senator Pat Roberts.  Emphasis added.]

Dear Mr. President:

During these final days of this coming election, I have been conducting town hall meetings in Kansas.

I am fully aware this letter comes in the midst of 24-7 political tumult. However, I am compelled to share with you my strongest possible concern and recommendation regarding an issue that I know you recognize as being paramount and about which you care deeply.

I am also writing this letter as the most senior Marine in the United States Congress, as a former Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and as a former Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. 

Since the attack of September 11 in Benghazi, the great majority of people in attendance in our town hall meetings – regardless of political party – believe there are more questions than answers. They also believe both you and your administration have not been square with them. 

There has been an outpouring of disbelief from folks about the initial explanation from you and members of your administration that the deaths of our fellow Americans came as a result of some obscure video rather than a pre-planned, carefully orchestrated terrorist attack.  Mr. President, folks are just not buying it!

Facts are stubborn things and as more relevant facts are now becoming public, it should come as no great shock to anyone that this issue has been “politicized.”  It has been ever since the first explanation was orchestrated from your administration.

  However, I want to stress and emphasize there is an issue of much greater importance.  The major media have not comprehensively reported on this unraveling issue, so many Americans may not be aware of what has and is taking place.

            But, you can be sure every single member of our United States military services now knows that the sacred bond of never leaving a comrade in distress or danger may be worthless as of the date of this disgrace. We cannot allow this to happen. We cannot let this issue fester and infect the bond of taking care of our own. As one veteran stated so well in one of our town hall meetings:

            “When I signed up I knew I would likely be put in harm’s way. But I also knew someone would have my back. I just don’t know if that is true today.” 

            Mr. President, it is my belief that until you, as Commander in Chief, publicly and in detail inform the American public of what happened and why, that bond, which has existed as long as the United States of America has fielded armies, is breaking. We must know why American assets at the scene or close by were not utilized to save American lives acting in the line of duty.

            That is why I feel compelled to sincerely ask you to make time in your schedule to publicly explain in detail the unfortunate attack which occurred September 11 in Benghazi.

This request for you to set the record straight and restore the bond of “sacrifice for each other” to our fighting forces is made with the deepest concern and utmost sincerity. I truly believe the future morale and effectiveness of our military services may be at stake.

This is a burden that you or any future Commander in Chief should not have to bear.

Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation

'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable... We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from sin and Set us free. Amen!'

With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we once again can be called 'One nation under God!'

O'Reilly: Government No Match for Mother Nature

Bill O'Reilly, speaking from recent personal experience with Hurricane Sandy, blasts anyone (including our incumbent president) who believes that government is the answer to all our problems.  Herewith some clips (emphasis added):

Many of us have forgotten about nature as we have become addicted to machines. We must have gizmos. Sandy laughed and took them away. Power, gone. Internet, dark. Cell phones, not happening. Even your landline phone - not available because "all circuits are busy."

Suddenly, it was 1850 with one exception: battery operated flashlights and radios.

So what is the lesson here? 

Well, actually there are a few. First, that no government agency can help you when disaster strikes. Any assistance will be after the fact and painstakingly slow. 

Second, that in order to ride out any storm effectively, you should be self-reliant and resilient. That means you have to anticipate problems and have some solutions at the ready. 

For example, where I live on Long Island, the power infrastructure is a disaster and has been for years. The power company, LIPA, simply cannot keep the juice flowing under any duress. I have accepted that, so I bought a generator. However, during Sandy, the generator did not work. You can imagine how many four-letter words were uttered. But, I had a Plan B. I know some guys who can repair generators, and they fixed mine very quickly. I have a long-term relationship with these guys and will reward them. 

So, I rode out the storm pretty well, and that's good because there are children in my home. 

Never one time did I think the local, state or federal government was going to help me in any way. When President Obama speaks about government being there for you, I roll my eyes. In the history of mankind, no government has ever been there for the individual. Ever.
