Ahhhh to tackle the beast of Benghazi….dare I even try!?? No really I am so bothered by this whole thing….a major major….did I say ‘major’ cover up –with such little main stream media coverage!

So…..We’ve got 4 dead Americans, whose families are begging for the truth,  a clueless (or not) UN Ambassador –Rice- giving misleading info on talk shows, Secretary of State Clinton openly lying to the press, the head of CIA sleeping with anyone but his wife, a you tube video that took ALL the blame and now has nothing to do with the attack, and our president not admitting that it was a terrorist attack….

September 11^th, 2012
4pm : The Attack on the Libyan Embassy occurs

Obama makes a speech about the attack in Rose Garden, NEVER says TERRORIST ATTACK, He uses the term “act of terror” ….ummm an “act of terror” could be ANY violent crime, just turn on your evening news! Here is what he said: “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.”

Sept. 15: Obama discusses the Benghazi attack in his weekly address. He makes no mention of terror, terrorists or extremists. He does talk about the anti-Muslim film and “every angry mob” that it inspired in pockets of the Middle East.

Sept. 19: Matt Olsen, director of the NationalCounterterrorism Center, tells a Senate subcommittee that the four State Department officials in Benghazi “were killed in the course of a terrorist attack on our embassy.”

Sept. 21: Sec Clinton Finally admits it was a terrorist attack!

Obama still denies “terrorist attack” for like another month! In the meantime….revelation that there was NO mob, and the video had nothing to do with the attack is admitted by White House.

October 24^th : Emails are released exposing the white house knew it was a terrorist attack within 2 hours after the Attack.

Oct 26^th:We learn that our CIA operatives were told to “stand down” when trying to help those who were under attack at the Embassy. Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S.consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens was, Woods disobeyed the order and went in to help those under attack, he died a hero.

Please….oh please don’t tell me -they kept us from the truth for our “own good”…or that it was to “protect” us in some way….no they didn’t tell us purely for Political gain…and for that reason we ALL should be outraged!!!

Why were the CIA operatives told to stand down, why didn’t they send help if they could have…..and they could have!!!!

Simply this-….more would have died and it would have been a BIGGER story, a story that COULD NOT be ignored till after the election, a story that COULD NOT be covered up.  It would expose the truth -that Al Qaeda is alive and thriving and that it is on the move…attacking us on the Anniversary of one of our most solemn days in history. Yes attacking America….The US Embassy in Libya is on US soil! If Al Qaeda is strong than Obama claiming their deterioration -would be a lie.

But eventually somehow the affair was exposed, so the need for Petreaus to keep silent is no more, he steps down as CIA director and tells the truth…it was a terrorist attack!
I don’t know if we will ever be told what happened…because if we were told we’d be told we were lied to…lied to-to win an election.

But what is worse than all of this to me is that there are four dead Americans, and their families have yet to be told the truth. Past the politics, the lies, the saga, the soap opera of it all -there are four families that lost the ones they love and they deserve the truth.
Rest in Peace: Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, Chris Stevens, Tyrone Woods

Well much of the loss that was taken last Tuesday relates to Women and their vote for Obama.

“Republican’s want to take us back to the 1920’s!”
“Republican’s don’t want us to be able to do whatever we want to our bodies”

These are many of the responses I am getting from those that gave Obama an attaboy last week.

Sadly many women rely on Hollywood and the Mainstream Media as news sources-

• Women were told “If you don’t vote for Obama women will die”-because they would no longer receive cancer screenings and mammograms.

Many of these falsehoods surrounded Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood DOES not provide mammograms-to prevent breast cancer, and the “prevention” offered by PP is a pamphlet on how to check for lumps, and then they refer you to a physician that does offer mammograms… Go ahead….walk into one and ask for a mammogram! Do…and then tell me what they say! This is a lie and there is no evidence to prove these services are provided at Planned Parenthood! PP is for contraceptives and abortion….to suggest otherwise is hear-say…

• Women were simply told that Romney/Republicans were going to take away Planned Parenthood

Yes……Republicans wanted to stop the use of our TAX dollars being used to fund Planned Parenthood’s billion dollar empire and instead let it be privately funded. (So NO planned parenthood was not going away!)
Major corporations are currently giving to Planned Parenthood: Yahoo, Morgan Chase, Johnson and Johnson, eBay, GE, AT&T …..So the money will not stop being funneled to Planned Parenthood. (newsinfaith.com).

Republicans simply believe that the American People should not have to pay for someone’s abortion.

(By the way the same goes for Sesame Street…it would totally be privately funded…wouldn’t go anywhere…and our tax dollars would be used to help this broken economy)

Above everything look at how the truth about Benghazi is now coming out. We were promised “transparency” by Obama and all we have gotten by this horrendous scandal is lies….four Americans are dead…and we are being fed lies.

I love using the Crock Pot…it makes your home smell wonderful, is very easy to prepare a meal and the clean up is simple!
Last night I made a Creamy Chicken Chile over rice and it was great! I got the recipe from Pinterest…but I always change something (or almost everything) in most recipes I use, so below is what I made 🙂

1) Two chicken Breasts -cut and saute in 1/4cup water and 1/2 packet taco mix.
2) Then put in Crockpot
Add: Packet of Cream Cheese
         Can of Black beans (Rinsed)
         Can of Corn (rinsed)
         1/4 Onion…chopped finely
         1/2 cup to a Cup of Salsa-you can use Pace, (I used “Herdez) or any kind you have.
         Salt and Pepper to taste
         Tbsp Cumin
         Tbsp Chili Powder
3) Cook on low for 6hours
4) Serve over Rice, in a Tortilla or with a side of Tortilla Chips
5) Top with Sour Cream and cheese if you’d like!

Enjoy!

Uggghhhh…..rough night…..seriously!

Right now it would be very easy to sulk. To negatively talk about everyone that voted for Obama……. Do they know what they’ve just done? Do they understand the long term consequences? Was he elected because he was “popular” the “rock-star” president…”Mr. Cool?” Was it the trendy thing to do? Do people really comprehend what his reelection means for our country??

Ok…Ok…..breath…deep breaths…. 🙂

The REAL question is this “What did WE (the Republican Party) do wrong?”

I believe if the Republican Party does not make some serious changes…we will go extinct.
It’s as simple as this….we lost because we lost the minority and women vote!

That’s huge!

So let’s look at why that happened and what changes need to be made???
Well….for starters we have to reach out to minorities. I truly believe that because we have not reached out, minorities really don’t understand what our party is about.
Our loss on the woman vote is that we have allowed Hollywood/Main stream media to dictate what a Republican Woman looks like! Taking away our rights as women is NOT what the Republican Party is about…but the media would have ya think so!
How do we change this….what do we do!?

Well this problem is not going to be solved over night…but I know for certain changes/evolving has to take place. Am I saying that we run from our core beliefs, morals, and principles…no….I am saying we have to broaden our tent stakes, and educate, and invest our time into the lives of those who don’t “know” what being a Republican is. We have to present a clear picture of who/what being a republican means? I think we have allowed mainstream media to paint a horrific hate filled picture of us without really fighting back. 

At our core root, we the Republican Party are =Small Government, Pro-life and conservative in spending.

From here we branch out……

We educate
We listen to the other side
We compromise
We are open to new ideas
We operate on facts
We reach out with feeling
We inform
We get involved
We act
We solve problems
We openly accept and welcome All walks of life
We look out and speak up for the least among us…elderly and unborn

and we continue to put America and what she was founded upon…First.

We are the Republican Party…we will survive but we must transform.

Election Day!!!
This day has always been a huge day to me ever since I was a kid! I remember being little and watching my mom and dad pace back and forth in our living room in the late evening as the votes came in on the TV and thinking –yes….I get to stay up past bedtime!

Bahrain, Bhutan, Brunei, Fiji, Jordan, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Morocco, Myanmar, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tonga, United Arab Emirates…..and then of course there’s Cuba and Venezuela-where voting is merely a “show.”

So get out there….and VOTE!

“Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.”
–Franklin D. Roosevelt
