About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Chris Matthews, Candy Crowley, & Eva Longoria demand that Greta, John Bolton & the leak source be either captured or killed.
Greta's refrain throughout her discussions with John Bolton was 'why'.
The UK Independent and Glenn Beck have the reason and have reported it.
Gun Running.
No surprise here. Wanna bet that other news agencies underrate the importance of this story, or ignore it altogether?
Why would they lie such an unsupportable lie? Because they lie habitually and they lie reflexively. They can't help it.
Umm...
Holy freaking shit
Libya is actually Fast and Furious part 2.
In short, it seems President Obama has been engaged in gun-walking on a massive scale. The effect has been to equip America’s enemies to wage jihad not only against regimes it once claimed were our friends, but inevitably against us and our allies as well. That would explain his administration’s desperate and now failing bid to mislead the voters through the serial deflections of Benghazigate.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/oct/22/the-real-reason-behind-benghazigate
The clowns in DC let these people die. They did not provide them adequate security. They removed their embassy and consulate security in August 2012. They left them in Benghazi without adequate security.
They left these State Department employees in Benghazi to die without security. These men did their job and the United States abandoned them to die. These men died as heros even though their own government abandoned them.
Chris Stevensis a Hero.
Sean Smith is a Hero.
Glen Doherty is a Hero.
Tyrone Woods is a Hero.
And the b@$tards that left them to die should hang their heads in shame.
Sheryl Atkinson form CBS reported on this also. She is the ONLY CBS reporter that seems to understand how to report news. She reports news that is embarassing to the Obama Regime.
She also reported about Fast and Furious for CBS, but has not seen national exposure. Why can't anyone from NBC/ABC/NYT do the same?
It's going to make it really difficult for the Democrats that do get re-elected to put up much of a fight against the budget cuts to be brought in.
Fast and Furious 1 & 2, billions on non existent green energy, a General Motors that's not likely to last through Mitt Romney's second term, and all the while bleating about how they had fixed health care?
It may be awhile before the Democrats are back in office after this gift to the Republicans. Somehow, this crapola will stick to Hillary Clinton.
SCOAMF
This could be the October Surprise...for the donkeys...expect them to do something desperate....
A week after the incident the Administration was still trotting out the ridiculous farce about some half baked video.
Of course this ignores more than 230 violent incidents logged over the previous 11 months, with 30 around Benghazi. Notably, the British Ambassador was attacked and the British had an MOU to leave their vehicles in the American compound as they were the last western flag in Benghazi.
The State Dept clearly dropped the ball and possibly the White House dropped the ball. Let the 'buck stop' where it well and truly deserves.
The Administration is playing the 'obfuscate and distract' game; but any thinking observer would see this for what it is: The Administration engaged in 'supervised neglect' and is now desperately trying to shovel this pile of camel dung onto the nearest scapegoat at hand, hoping that the malodorous wafts will dissipate before election day.
Posted by: Hans | October 15, 2012 12:02 PM
The Administration has out and out lied about the state of it's knowledge of the events surrounding Benghazi. They made an ideological decision to suppress the truth, regardless of the cost to their own staffers and security personnel.
Have a nice election...it truly is an "Obama-Nation(tm)".
Cheers

That's it for the Media's campaign for elect the Zero. Even ABC has to report this one:
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/10/email-alerts-describe-911-benghazi-consulate-assault-unfolding/
Landslide coming up.
Doubt this will move the needle much. Those who love Obama will not be swayed no matter what
I actually fear that Mark Levin is going to have an on air heart attack in his first hour.

Even with this knowledge, the Americans will still vote in Obama - just like in Alberta who voted in the Conservative Party of Alberta ... even though they had the chance to put in the Wild Rose Party in office. Apparently they have already tried to break promises to Albertans about "Severance Pay" if they get voted out in four years - if there is an Alberta economy left.
In a next week or so, Obama will have a crisis in the USA and claim a victory over the problem ... just to get votes, so the American voters will forget about this tragedy. He needs a crisis/war/diaster now to have people trust him - I only hope it does not cost lives.
Perhaps now the US Government will let the producer of that video free ... Note: I have not seen it, yet it is the only excuse they have had in the past to say it was the producers fault and not the Obama administration. Mitt Romney should be pouncing on this until election day, if he had the courage.
The incompetence is staggering. Commander in chief ? What a joke. Meanwhile, the patsy that made the stupid, childish , but legal 13 min. movie in a free country is still in jail. I guess releasing him would confirm that he had nothing to do with a terrorist attack that just happened to occur on the anniversary of 9/11. No wonder all our enemies want Obama re-elected. The man makes Jimmy Carter look like a genius.
Hillary lied,People died
Obama lied,people died
Rice lied,people died
To cover up F&F part II?
Is the guy that made the vid out of jail yet?
Can he sue Hillarry for his saftery after sh pumped and dumped the Pakistani mea-culpa that wasn't needed?
Impeachment anyone?
Now we know why he looked like a zombie during the first debate.
How could president makeshitup stand and apologize to the United Nations and the entire world,
repeating 6 times about how our freedom of speech to slander him and the dangers of making an anti-Islam video?
Knowing all along he was the negligent criminal.
son of a bitch needs to be impeached,
before someone does something he will regret.
While Americans were being slaughtered in Benghazi, Obarry went to bed... and then caught Air Force One the next morning to campaign/fund raise in Las Vegas... What a hideous, unconscionable, pathetic little man Obarry Hussein is.
I think makeshitup will resign as president,
and Joe(hp)Biden will give him a full and perfect pardon.
Good frigging riddance.
I hope Donald Trump will wait to reveal his Obama-Michele divorce papers,
so we can clear the air from this stench.
Are you reading this Donald?
Yea, and they really freed Libyans from the evil Gaddafi, and bombed them into some Freedom & Democracy out of the kindness of their hearts.
Honest.
"Why the video lie"?
To set a precedent to openly censor and arrest American's for free speech (First Amendment).
Fast and Furious = Blame the second amendment for gun violence in Mexico.
I think the answer to 'Why the video story?' is also rooted in the credo 'never let a crisis go to waste'. The progressives do not want free speech; punishing the man responsible for the video sets a precedent for next time and the time after that, and so on.
Busted!
So Americans have villified Benedict Arnold for a lot less than this, so now what will you do with Barrack Obama?
Debbie Wasserman Schultz calls Republicans "un-American" for seeking answers to Benghazi terror attack.
-
Can't wait to watch this witch disappear.
Yeah Debbie,
4 more years- with 6 months off for good behavior.
I'm shocked! Shocked I tell ya......
The heroic story of how three guys and an Ambassador held off a bunch of savages for seven hours while the 'Commander-in-Chief' dithered or didn't care, must be told. The pitchfork crowd should show up on the media's doorstep for this one.
Now we know why Romney didn't bring up the subject in the debate - he didn't need to.
Obama lied while people died
Obama is going after the killers in the same spirit as O.J. is going after the killers of Nicole Simpson & Ronald Goldman.
Sasquatch said it first: this is the October surprise. And the surprise is that they are even dumber than we thought they were. They actually thought that a conspiracy to keep something hidden would work in today's world?
Hey Oz...remember two weeks ago I said this whole affair was a set-up and would bet good money on it?
Hope this latest news validates my theory.
So Nixon was impeached for a B&E?
BTW...try looking for news about this anywhere else...only Fox covering this.
Juxtapose this? Obama says he must be 'perfectly clear' to Americans.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdVHMtAjk-Q&feature=player_embedded
While we are all saying "I told you so"...
Recall that when PM Harper closed the Iranian embassy on September 7 I suggested that it was due to threats received.
The question is: Will they get away with this?
The public is so skeptical of ANY news story that they might.
This was probably Donald's big announcement. Hillary leaked it to the media before Trump posted it.
George Washington:
"I cannot tell a lie, father, you know I cannot tell a lie! I did cut it with my little hatchet."
Barack Obama:
"Let me be perfectly clear... uh... uh... you know I cannot tell the truth."
If, after these revelations, the Americans still elect Obama and things develop as they did after Watergate leading to his eventual resignation, can we then look forward to President Joseph Biden? Or will he be disposed of a la Spiro Agnew? Verrry interesting!
Is this perhaps Hilary's revenge? The emails did come from the State Department didn't they? The old poop is hitting the fan now..
"The clowns in DC let these people die"
The clans actually watched them die. They had live feed from a overhead drone throughout the attack.
Wonder if they ate popcorn while they watched the "movie"?
What did I say about Krauthammers analysis of this situation in that interview, whether nuanced or on purpose that man has done more to rid America hopefully, of the Gypsies in the White House than anyone. When he said the leaks have a habit of showing up when people are being thrown under busses, someone was listening. One can only hope this works.
Completely off topic, but it would appear that the big news that Donald Trump will release later today is that Michelle Obama filed for divorce in 2000 and he has the documents. Trump has been married and divorced more times than most of us have, so I think he realizes that a straightforward divorce should not be a major problem for a politician.
However — if Moochelle alleged habitual drug use, a sexually transmitted disease, mental or physical abuse of herself or her daughters, or infidelity with an individual or individuals of other than the female gender, it could be, as Vice President Biden would say a “big f—ing deal.”
I read about the divorce papers when O was running for Pres in 2008. That article said there was an affair and an illegitmate child involved.
Personally I despise the man so much, I can't wait to hear what Donald has to say.
I sure hope he has the proof.
The President new everything from the beginning. He let a false story by other channels to be spread to the public.
The question is: what is it that makes this administration to lie, distort, misinform and do all those things to hide the truth?
It is as though the whole scheme is to lie.
Why is it that they lie?
Not a rhetorical question.
I think this Benghazi thing has exploded like a grenade in Team Obama's game plan. It reinforces the idea that Obama is a liar and a pure ideologue. Bolton knows what he is talking about.
The Dems will get desperate, and then like Kerry and Gore they will sulk for years if they lose.
If Obama loses that would be superb. If Harry Reid loses, a miracle! If that scum Pelosi loses, a new beginning! Americans need to clean house.
Why the video lie? While others have touched on 1st and 2nd amendment aspects of this I have a different take.
Given the protests in Cairo earlier in the day the Obama brain trust ( I know...oxymoron...) attempted to conflate the two incidents. The fact that there was no demonstration in Bengazi was irrelevant to them. The thinking here seems to be that average Jane/Joe American couldn't or wouldn't differentiate between the two events and a compliant MSM would perpetuate the obfuscation. And they did. Remember how the focus of the story quickly became Mitt's comments regarding the Cairo Embassy's press release? OOHH look something shiny!
Obama's Rose Garden comments focused almost exclusively on the situation in Egypt with Bengazi tacked on as a logical extension of the ongoing events in Cairo.
Obama, as he arrogantly tends to do, underestimated the reach of the new media and Fox News. It remains to be seem if he calculated correctly on the intelligence of the average American voter.
"Debbie Wasserman Schultz calls Republicans "un-American" for seeking answers to Benghazi terror attack."
Debbie is one stupid Jew; she missed the Obama flubbed answer to the "Logic Question" posed by the moderator...YES Obama has conceded the bomb to Iran & Israel is long gone!
Who is the enemy!
Kate, keep this and any updates at the top of your site. This is impeachment level scandal.
The Huffington Post has nothing on this, so it must not have happened.
DemocRats lying to the public is nothing new, Barry bald-faced lied in the last three debates. Pretty well constantly.
What's new here is that Mo-movie guy is STILL in jail today, arrested to cover Barry's lie. That's new. He must be laughing his @ss off right now, eh?
What's surprising here is the astounding lameness of this coverup. Its the stupidest thing EVER, and we're talking about four guys dead over it. Four men gone and this is the best coverup they could create? These are not smart people.
And I do believe I and many others said that this was going to happen waaaaay back four years ago when Barry got hisself elected. This is twice now with this cr@p. First there was Fast&Furious as somebody mentioned above, now there's Benghazi.
Man, Limbaugh's going to have some fun today my friends. Talk about a gift from the heavens.
