My feeling on Benghazi

Why did the President send Ambassador Rice out on the morning talk shows if she had nothing to do with Benghazi?

If he gave the order to do whatever needed to be done to save the Americans then what happened to these orders?  Were they just ignored?  Why did he watch everything go down the way it did and then act as if this was in protest to some movie when he knew it wasn't?  Why did he go on for two weeks blaming it on a film and go so far as to apologize for the film, which he knew had nothing to do with the attacks, in front of the UN?

Why did they sit on the information on the drones being shot down by Iran and the Petraeus scandal until right after the election?  Why are we still getting the run around about what really happened at Benghazi? What is going on here?  Does the President not have any control over anything?

I have alot of unanswered questions and every day that passes, I have less and less confidence in this administration.  This is not a game we are playing.  Four lives were lost.  We deserve the truth.

A Party Hostile to me

I am hearing a lot about how those in the establishment (or within the beltway) believe that the GOP needs to moderate its views on abortion and immigration.  I will just say that for me, especially the abortion issue, will cause me to seriously look at what I am supporting.  The truth is a Romney nomination as the GOP Presidential candidate was a no-win for those like me, evangelical, pro-life, against amnesty, right-wing section of the Republican party.  They have been wanting to get rid of us for a while.  Every lost election for the GOP the last few years, it has been the right-wing, evangelical section that has been thrown under the bus.  They only "court" us when they need us, such as in 2004 when the "value-voters" won it for Bush.   I voted for Romney because I don't think our country will survive, not in its current state, under four more years of Obama.  Should Romney have won, the establishment crowd would be telling us that they can win with a moderate because, basically, those like me just line up and vote for them because the alternative was so bad.  Because Romney lost, we are also getting blamed, even though he won independents (which was the target group he was going after).  I guess they really needed us conservatives after all since it was many conservatives who stayed home because they didn't believe there was a "real" difference between the candidates. So we get blamed for that one too and now those "in-the-know" are saying views on abortion and immigration need to be moderated.   Either way, win or lose for Romney, the right-wing of the party was going to get thrown under the bus.

So what is my response to this.  Well, for now I am just going to sit back and see what happens.  If they do decide to change these views, I think you will see an internal war and will see a mass exodus from the party. Since my state primaries are closed, the options for me are very limited.  I can either continue to support candidates who espouse my views and do that until there are none left for me to vote for or I can change my party affiliation to independent.  Time will only tell what I will do.

I do believe this election opened a lot of people's eyes to the fact that just because someone is a Republican doesn't mean they are a Christian.  And now with many "insiders" within the GOP willing to throw evangelicals under the bus, I hope that many more eyes will be opened.  I have said before and I will say it again, no political party will save our country.  Only God can do that. Are you still praying for revival?  I am.

Tuesday night dealt a major blow to America.  It was such a large blow that I expect a completely different country then the one I grew up in.  Some may challenge this outlook but I dare them to look at what is happening within just a few days of Obama's reelection.

Companies like Pepsi, Ericsson, US Cellular, Bristol Myers, St. Jude, ING, Iberia, Caterpillar, Boeing, and many more have already declared they will have to lay off employees.  Why are we having these mass lay-offs?  Simple, incoming taxes, with one of the largest being Obamacare.

Michelle Malkin wrote a great article warning of these massive layoffs.  The amazing thing is that even Yahoo is acknowledging that taxes will be raised in an article written before the elections What you won't see, however, is any of this get laid at the feet of the President who has actually said he would veto any bill that reached his desk that didn't include a tax increase. In fact, this same article states that the President has vowed to raise taxes on the top wealth owners to almost 40%.  Now I am no tax scholar and so I would appreciate help on this but isn't that just covering federal tax?  What about coupling that with things such as the fact that California voted to raise taxes on those making $250,000 a year?  That just seems a bit much, especially when we need the job creators to create jobs.

What I see coming is higher unemployment.  However, I also think we might see these numbers manipulated just a bit.  Call me cynical, but I think the powers that be will try to protect the President as much as they can.  Why would they do this?  Because if things happen the way many are predicting, we will see that Obamanomics doesn't work and the GOP will clean up in 2014.  Of course, that will depend on if they can figure out that the reason they lost was not because they don't look like Democrats but the fact that they don't look like Republicans, you know, the party of small government.

I expect another uprising from the American people.
