Don't know if Ashton Kutcher always felt this way, or if playing Steve Jobs caused an epiphany, but this speech at the Teen Choice Awards needs to be seen by every teenager in this country! This is probably the most amazing thing I've heard come out of Hollywood in my lifetime....

WHAT IF CONGRESS HELD AN INVESTIGATIVE HEARING INTO BENGHAZI AND NOBODY CAME?
Four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, killed in Benghazi terror attack over a year ago
What salon.com headlines
as ‘Darrell Issa’s pathetic, error-laden obsession…’ into the disaster that was
the Benghazi terror attack has been a year
of running into stone walls for his House Oversight Committee’s hearings.
The major characters on the stage of this assault that
killed four Americans are Former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton and President
Barack Hussein Obama. When Hillary
testified before Issa’s committee and pounded her fists and yelled her famous ‘What
difference does it make…’ line. She has merely ‘taken responsibility’ for the
disaster, all the while NOT answering any probing questions.
Obama has yet to address the year-old attack, except to say
on ‘The View’ that is was because of a video.
We still don’t know where he was that fatal, faithful night.
We don’t know why Panetta (then head of the CIA) gave the
stand-down order when the military were on the plane and ready to roll. (Panette had NO constitutional authority to do that - only the CinC can issue such orders) Panetta has said ‘we could not GET there in
time’. My question to Panetta is: ‘How did you know how long the attack would
LAST? What was your basis for
determining help, which was less than an hour away, wouldn’t arrive in time?’
An Accountability Review Board (ARB), convened by Hillary
Clinton, was tasked with getting answers about the failures of 9/11/2012. I was chaired by Adm. Mike Mullen and former Ambassador Thomas Pickering. The ARB did NOT interview Hillary
Clinton. The ARB did NOT interview the
Commander-in-Chief. What a waste of time and tax dollars!
Read the results of the ARB investigation here:
Note that NO ONE has been fired for “Systemic failures and leadership
and management deficiencies at senior levels within two bureaus of the State
Department…”
What I’ve written here, so far, is more for the uninformed,
as this has been said for a year on Conservative news networks and by Conservative
bloggers. The mainstream media opted NOT
to cover the Benghazi attacks a year ago because news of this would have hurt
Obama, who was in the final weeks of his re-election campaign.
Today’s headline, which should disgust and enrage every
decent citizen in this country is:
Spitting on Their Graves: Democrats
Leave Benghazi Hearing Before Testimony From Families of Victims
During the second portion of (Issa’s) House Oversight and
Government Reform hearing about Benghazi Thursday on Capitol Hill, the majority
of Democrats (all but 2) on the Committee left the room
and refused to listen to the testimony of Patricia Smith and Charles Woods. Ms.
Smith is the mother of Sean Smith, an information management officer killed in
the 9/11 Benghazi attack. Charles Woods is the father of Navy SEAL Tyrone
Woods, who was also killed.
In my opinion, this behavior warrants censure by the full
Congress, and recall by the voters of each district whose representative walked
out.
Via Katie Pavlich, writing today for HOTAIR: “I guess we’ve reached the point in the
“phony scandal” messaging where they felt a bold signal needed to be sent. Even
with Sean Smith’s grieving mother sitting right there at the witness table.”

THE HOUSE COMMITTEE FOR OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM:

MEETING AND WERE NOT PRESENT WHEN FAMILY MEMBERS TESTIFIED AND BEGGED FOR
ANSWERS MORE THAN A YEAR AFTER THE ATTACK)

BEAR HUNTING - THE 'SPORT' OF COWARDS AND PUSSIES!
Another hot button for me – and it’s NOT political!
The black bear is the only bear species found in North
Carolina or anywhere in the eastern United States. The successful comeback of
the American black bear in North Carolina represents one of wildlife
management's greatest achievements. Black bears were once restricted to remote
areas and reached very low population levels in the mid-1900s. Today, black bears are found approximately 60%
of the total land area of North Carolina.
A young male in a field about a mile from my house.
There are black bears all around where I live, and as fall
approaches, we see them more and more in the fields where corn grew a month
ago. They love the grubs there, but
around here there is plenty of fish, frogs, wild berries and assorted reptiles
to keep them happy. If I happen to leave
the garage door open, one may wander and browse in the garbage can. It’s not uncommon to see a mama bear and a
cub or two dining on frogs and crayfish along the road I have to travel to
reach civilization. They are curious and
shy and will not attack unless they think their cubs are in danger. We have one in the hood this year that
probably tops 600 pounds, and he likes walking down the middle of the road,
nice and slow. It’s HIS road, too, after
all.
In the adjacent field, a mom with triplets heading for the tall grass.
With the successful re-population of Eastern North Carolina
with black bears also comes the problem of OVER-population in some areas. So we now have bear hunting season. This year my county has almost three weeks of
bear hunting: 11/11 – 11/16 and 12/16 –
12/28.
Bears have been traditionally hunted like deer – from a tree
stand in the woods. The hunter masks his
scent and simply waits in the stand for a bear to wander by (or there may be a
bait station nearby – depending on wildlife regulations). If you’re a great shot and manage to hit a
vital organ, you’ll have a nice trophy bear head to mount, and maybe a bearskin
rug. Bears are seldom killed for food
but if you intend to eat one, you better get it in the pot within hours of the
kill. Just ugh.
Hunters might also hunt the bear on foot, creeping through
the woods, moving slowly, so the bear isn’t frightened by sudden
movements. Sounds exciting, doesn’t
it? Thinking it takes a truly brave
hunter to go after a big bear? Well,
this is all bullshit and folklore.
Enter the state dog of North Carolina – the Plott
Hound. (Apparently back in 1989 our
state legislature had time on their hands so they came up with a state dog – a
wonderful use of legislative hours.)
Originally bred for boar hunting, one letter was changed and now they
are used for bEar hunting.
Today’s bear hunters simply attach a GPS to the collar of
the Plott Hound (usually there are MANY hounds used for the hunt) and the dogs
are released.
The brave hunters stand around at the side of the road,
drinking beer and tracking the dogs.
When the GPS shows the dogs aren’t moving, but howling and barking is
heard in the distance, these manly men know that the dogs have treed a bear.
They then hop in their trusty ATV’s and head for the dogs’
location. I assume these people draw
straws for shooting order – I don’t really know because this entire thing
disgusts me so much I can’t bear (pun intended) to be in the same COUNTY with
them. The bear is shot 5-6 times by the gang of hunters, and then it falls dead or wounded to the ground.
Cheers and laughter! WE WENT BEAR
HUNTING AND GOT ONE!
I personally find this the equivalent of shooting fish in a
barrel. The bear has ZERO chance of
survival. And the girly-men with the
powerful rifles and the GPS dogs boast about the ‘hunt’.
What a bunch of cowardly braggadocios pussies!
UPDATE (2018) In addition to GPS on the dogs, these brave people have added VIDEO.... can you say 'shooting fish in a barrel?'

VOTER SUPPRESSION? TOO F***ING FUNNY!
North Carolina’s REPUBLICAN Governor (only the fourth since
1877) and North Carolina’s REPUBLICAN legislature (first time that’s been the
case in both houses since 1898) have made horrible, drastic [NOT] changes to
the state voting laws, following the Supreme Court decision last year to remove
the requirement that ‘certain racist states’ must have their election laws,
redistricting, etc. overseen by the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice….. you know the
outfit – that’s the department headed by the totally unbiased, totally fair,
totally NON-racist Eric Holder, the same Eric Holder that saw no voter
intimidation looking at films of the new Black Panthers blocking voters from
entering the polls in the 2008 election.
Yep – same one.
The New York Times is only ONE of the liberal lamestream
media outlets that has been all up North Carolina’s rear end attacking the
changes enacted recently.
THIS, my friends, is voter suppression….
THIS…..is not!
Here are a few (admittedly) liberal links talking krap about North
Carolina’s election law changes – just a glimpse and you’ll know from whence I
come.
Ok – enough of this shit.
How about a few facts…. And this will really rile you lefties out there –
YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH‼‼ (a Jack Nicholson
quote from ‘A Few Good Men’)
Below are excerpts from an editorial in the Carolina Journal
on September 5, 2013, which takes exception to the charges that my state is racist
BY PROVING WE ARE IN THE MAINSTREAM! (Actually, we’re STILL too damn far to the
left, if you ask me!)
RALEIGH — You’ve heard it from the Left. You’ve heard it
from the press and on TV. It’s all over the Internet. The Voter Suppression
Act. Disenfranchised voters. One of the nation’s most restrictive voter ID
laws. Sweeping. Controversial. Restrictive. Fiercely contested. Assault on democracy…
Here’s a recap of
what the new law does and where North Carolina lines up nationally (much of
this information comes from the National Conference of State Legislatures):
• Voter ID: required. Thirty-three states require voters to
present identification at the polls. North Carolina is the 34th and joins a
national trend of requiring a photo ID. Two-thirds of North Carolinians asked
in several polls favor a government-issued photo ID to vote.
• Straight-ticket voting: no longer
allowed. Fourteen states allow
straight-party voting. North Carolina joins the 36 states that do not.
• Early voting: fewer days but the
same number of hours. Fifteen states allow neither early voting nor no-excuse
absentee voting. Thirty-two states have
early voting periods ranging from four days to 45 days prior to election day,
with an average of 19 days. North Carolina allows 10 days but requires the same
number of hours of early voting that were available in 2012 and 2010, when
the early voting period was 17 days. [A
year ago, the state of New York – home of the NY Times Commie Rag – DIDN’T
ALLOW EARLY VOTING! ROFLMAO!]
• Same-day registration: no longer
allowed during early voting. Only Ohio
and North Carolina allowed (past tense) same-day registration during early
voting. Ten states and the District of Columbia allow same-day registration
on election day. North Carolina no
longer does.
• Pre-registration: no longer
allowed for 16- and 17-year-olds. Five states allow 16- and 17-year-olds to
register before they turn 18. Forty-five
states do not, now including North Carolina.
• Campaign contributions: limited. Fourteen states allow unlimited individual
contributions to candidates. North Carolina limits individual contributions to
$5,000, with periodic increases tied to the Consumer Price Index.
• Paper ballots: required in all
N.C. counties. All BUT five states
require paper ballots or some type of paper trail voters can verify at the
polls. North Carolina becomes the 18th
state using only paper ballots statewide. Sixty-seven North Carolina
counties used paper ballots in 2012. H.B. 589 brings consistency across all
counties.
• Taxpayer-funded campaigns:
repealed. Only 13 states offer public funds to political candidates. North Carolina joins the 37 states that do
not.
• Provisional out-of-precinct
voting: no longer allowed. Thirty-one
states and D.C. require voters to cast provisional ballots in the precinct
where they live (according to 2008 data, the most recent I could find). Now,
North Carolina does, too.
• Instant runoff elections:
eliminated. North Carolina was the ONLY
state using the confusing instant runoff process in judicial races. Three
states use instant runoffs for ballots cast by overseas voters.

outreach at the John Locke Foundation.
And there you have it.
If you live here in the Tar Heel State and you don’t LIKE our voting laws, I
suggest you grab a moving van and haul your sorry butt somewhere else. Or go buy some fingernail polish at Walgreens
(but ya better have an ID card!)

A WAR THE PENTAGON DOESN'T WANT
From the Washington Post, September 5th… By
retired Major General Robert Scales
Speaking after recent conversations with both active duty
and retired military leaders regarding intervention in Syria, Scales says:
They (military leaders) are embarrassed to be associated with the amateurism of the
Obama administration’s attempts to craft a plan that makes strategic sense.
None of the White House staff has any experience in war or understands it. So
far, at least, this path to war violates every principle of war, including the
element of surprise, achieving mass and having a clearly defined and obtainable
objective.
They are repelled by the hypocrisy of a media blitz that
warns against the return of Hitlerism but privately acknowledges that the
motive for risking American lives is our “responsibility to protect” the
world’s innocents…
They are outraged by the fact that what may happen is an act
of war and a willingness to risk American lives to make up for a slip of the
tongue about “red lines.” These acts would be for retribution and to restore
the reputation of a president…
Read Scales’ complete insight and condemnation of Obama’s ‘war
plan’ at the link below. Finally,
someone with experience and SENSE is speaking out about this mess!

OBAMA CALLS 'W'
Rrrrringggggggggggggggg…..
W: Howdy….
W: We're all good, Barry. Hope all is great with you and Michelle. What's happening?
O: Well, uh...I'm sure you're aware of ..uh...the problems in Syria. John and Lindsey were here yesterday ...uh.. to talk about it. They are ...uh... in favor of my plan of attack and they will be ...uh... speaking out in support. Uh.... I'll be meeting with other congressional leaders later ...uh... today. I was hoping I could ...uh... fly you back to D.C. for a sit-down with me here in ...uh... the Oval Office ... get your input.
W: Well, Barry.... I appreciate you thinking of me, and I've sorta been following this for the last two years, since you drew that first red line in the sand. My thoughts on all this would be.... that I should keep my thoughts to myself. This debacle is the only thing you haven't blamed me for in the last five years, and I plan to keep it that way. Besides, I'm playing golf today. Have a fun day, ya hear! *click*

OBAMA'S DISRESPECT FOR THIS NATION IS DISGUSTING!
TAKE YOUR DAMN FOOT OFF OF THAT DESK, YOU FLAMING PIECE OF SHIT!
HISTORY OF THE RESOLUTE DESK FROM WIKIPEDIA:
The Resolute desk is a large, nineteenth-century partners' desk often chosen by presidents of the United States for use in the White House Oval Office as the Oval Office desk.
It was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880 and was built from the timbers of the British Arctic Exploration ship Resolute.
Franklin Roosevelt had a small door built for the gap to prevent people from seeing his wheelchair. Many presidents since Hayes have used the desk at various locations in the White House, but it was Jackie Kennedy who first brought the desk into the Oval Office in 1961 for President John F. Kennedy.
It was removed from the White House only once, after the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963, when President Johnson allowed the desk to go on a traveling exhibition with the Kennedy Presidential Library. After this it was on display in the Smithsonian Institution. President Jimmy Carter brought the desk back to the Oval Office, where Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush used it. It is currently in use by President Barack Obama.
