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."

This State Department conversation with ‘journalists’ reveals a good number of details not reported on by the media.
http://tinyurl.com/9b3acpf
It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The phone rings. Hillary says, "Don't answer. We want to blame the video."
This all boils down to ignorance....
The purveyors of the flash mob/video scenario actually believe such a scenario would work.
These savages are simply incapable of "storming the Bastille"....an event which was also well planed and not a spontaneous matter.
Ansar simply lacks the administrtative tail to orgasnize such an operation without months of planing.
The IDF had much of the planning in place with specialist units, subject to on call notice, and the other assets on standby but still took days to get the operation under way.
Modern, western nations can take many days to deploy naval units which are allegedly ready to sail.
I generally loose interest in any story that ends with "gate". It's likely a casualty of having lived through the original "gate" ruining my cartoon time as a child.
Johnson's outline of the organization at State, FBI, CIA and Defence makes it obvious that Biden lied his face off last week when he claimed the White House knew nothing about it.
It also becomes glaringly obvious that the government security protocol which is used in every single overseas terrorist attack could not have been aborted by some nameless official in State. This decision to leave the FBI on the tarmac for 17 DAYS had to be made at the very senior level.
When Hillary says she takes responsibility, does that mean she's admitting to interfering in an FBI investigation? I would also like an accounting of the President's whereabouts that night and who he talked to.
Yes, this was especially enlightening. Thanks for posting Robert. /// I listen to Batchelor every night. Great show. Great guests. The guy has all kinds of contacts feeding him info. If you don't listen you don't know what you're missing. WABC 9:00 PM EST out of NY.
Scott Stevens has just been sadomized, beaten and stomped near to death with one eye dangling out of it's socket and he's pleading "Anything you want, I've got Hilary Clinton on speed dial" he says through a mess of broken teeth.
He dials the number hands the phone to the bearded tard with the blue handled channel locks and she hangs up quietly and goes back to reading the New York Times in the back of her limo.
Duoh, Chris Stevens.
Even 1400 years of first cousin marriages doesn't make you crazy enough to mess with Scott Stevens.
Survey says, pick two.

Me too. Gate ain't a very appropriate word. In this case, sluice would be better.
The John Bachelor discussion was great.
I expect that this is a big lie. Between Obama and Clinton they totally dropped the ball and A Qaeda had a great victory. Don't hold your breath waiting for MSM to mention or talk about this on the evening or late night news as it would hurt their darling. You will hear only crickets. The average apathetic voter will not even hear about and is only concerned what the next survivor segment is about.
If this happened during a Republican administration we would be hearing about it constantly.
John Batchelor always approaches these events with a great deal of restraint. A thoroughly decent man, exposing the Democrat lies.
Thank you John, and Larry Johnson.
Michael Bryant got a book deal.
Libyaquiddick, for when Liberals kill their underlings.
This is the type of thing that happens when the hippies from the 60s are in charge ...

@Jamie MacMaster - tagging anything with gate is sooo MSM... ;)
The libya scanda is as big as any that has brught down a government - scapegoating a film maker for a terrorist act that was known to be coming - hardly the action of a legitimate governing body - it is a criminal act abd should be treated as such.
But I'll lay good money it won't be mentioned in tonight's stage managed presidential dog and pony show.
Its not Libya-gate. Its Libya-quiddick!
Shamelessly stolen from Kathy Shaidle, who thought it up.
