“You’ve grown up hearing voices…warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices…Because what they suggest is that we can’t be trusted.”

–President Barack Obama, May 6, 2013

Over the last two weeks, an unprecedented abuse of power has illustrated the lawless nature of the Obama Administration. They have ignored the law, the Constitution, and Congress, and have engaged in behavior for which President Nixon faced articles of impeachment. The American people deserve full accountability

The White House released 100 pages of Benghazi-related e-mails this week that made it clear that the Obama Administration has misled the American people about the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist attack in Benghazi. The House currently has five standing committees investigating the events preceding and immediately following the attacks, which left four Americans dead. These committees are attempting to discern why the Administration ignored

The events that have unfolded over the past week are showing big government at its worst. First we learned more details about the Obama administration’s coordinated attempt to misrepresent the September 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, which claimed four American lives. Then a senior IRS official acknowledged that her agency had deliberately targeted conservative groups for harassment. Meanwhile, the administration was forced to admit

Things are only getting worse for the Administration, but that's what they should expect when intentionally misleading the American people. Scandal after scandal is coming to light, and today Attorney General Eric Holder is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, which I sit on. You can watch the hearing live at 1pm ET/12pm CT here. I am really looking forward to holding him accountable for his actions at the Department of Justice, but I want to

You want to know the meaning of Benghazi? It is very simple: the only person so far who has been punished was the filmmaker Nakoula Basseley. Nakoula produced the now infamous youtube video on the prophet Mohammed, which we now know did not cause the Benghazi attack. As for those in charge, we now know they lied to the American people, they intimidated witnesses, and an innocent man was put into jail where he still sits.

The following is a press release from the NRA Institute for Legislative Action:

Things haven't been very good for President Obama lately. Last week, Congress heard from witnesses concerning his administration's fatal failures related to the September 11, 2012, attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Not buying into the make-believe nonsense that Obama has improved America's standing among terrorists devoted to our destruction, jihadists recently attacked the Boston Marathon. The unemployment rate has decreased by only 0.4 percentage point since January.   Read more »

After many months of stories, investigations, obfuscations, liberal media biased reporting (and lack thereof) and political infighting, this week's House of Representative's hearings are finally starting to provide some solid information. We have now heard from the top U.S. official at the Libyan Embassy, Gregory Hicks, that there was no doubt on Sept. 11, 2012 that a terrorist attack was

The Congressional Committee hearings on Benghazi yesterday were some of the most riveting since the Reagan era. There was testimony from personnel intimate with the details—who knew those who were killed on a first name basis – who had been in or were in Libya during the attacks—and who came to tell the truth. As one witness put it, “In February 1991, I swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. I am here today to honor that oath.” (Full opening statement of Gregory Hicks here.) Here are some highlights if you missed it.   Read more »

Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-Sc) told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren what to expect in the Benghazi hearings Wednesday, May 8th.

“It is going to be a very informational, instructive hearing…I would encourage you to follow it. Benghazi is warming up.”   Read more »

I understand if the government needs to keep secrets for real national security concerns.

Though most Conservatives can handle the truth, most Liberals are too stupid to be told everything. Liberals must have the truth explained slowly, the same way you would explain things to a child. Because Liberals live in cocoons of ignorance, they skip this necessary comprehension part of development. Most have parents even more stupid than they, so stupidity is passed on like great-great-grandma’s wedding dress.   Read more »
