The National Freak Show

“The expressions of Secretary Clinton today are fascinating. One would not know the hearings involved 4 U.S. deaths.” — MSNBC host Joe Scarborough

Hillary Clinton testified before the House Benghazi Committee yesterday, and if they ever bring back the old TV show I’ve Got A Secret, she could appear on it for a month without running out of material.  Except one of the rules of the TV show was that the guest had to answer questions truthfully, a stipulation which would force the cackling Mrs. C. into a fast exit — stage left, of course.

Hillary Clinton presented one set of Benghazi facts to her own family; another to the family of the victims and the American public. Within hours of the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Clinton emailed her daughter, Chelsea, that Americans had died at the hands of an al-Qaeda like group …  Clinton also informed Egypt’s prime minister and Libya’s president that the attacks were “preplanned” and “had nothing to do with” an anti-Islamic video posted on YouTube. Yet Clinton told the American public and families of the Benghazi victims that the maker of the video was to blame for sparking protesters who got out of hand in Benghazi and spontaneously launched assaults. In fact, there had been no protests… (Sharyl Attkisson)

Democrats, who began their attempts to torpedo the investigation while the bodies were still warm in Benghazi, are supposedly concerned about the amount of tax dollars being spent by the House Committee.   This is a ruse, of course.  Since when has a Democrat ever been worried about spending someone else’s money?

Democratic members of the committee now have a spending tracker, similar to a debt clock, showing the investigation’s costs in real time. The clock showed the investigation has cost $4,809, 266 as of Thursday afternoon. The figure is more than $1 million less in taxpayer funds that were given to an accused con man to finance his condom inventions and studies into why the majority of lesbians are overweight.

To a modern Democrat, fat lesbians and purveyors of French ticklers will always be more deserving of your tax dollars than will the national security.  Theirs is not a political party any longer — it’s a national freak show.  Which is why the National Rifle Association is more popular than either the Democratic president or the top Democratic candidate for president:

 According to the poll, 58 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the gun rights organization, while only 35 percent have an unfavorable opinion of the group. In contrast, Obama’s most recent presidential approval rating is 46 percent. A majority of Americans, 50 percent, disapproves of the job he’s doing as president. A NBC/WSJ poll released earlier this week shows similar numbers for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. That poll found that 39 percent of voters have a positive view of Clinton, while 48 percent view her negatively. The continued vilification of the NRA by Democratic politicians seems to have had little impact on the gun group’s reputation, as the public’s opinion of the NRA remains relatively unchanged over the past decade.

Among people who retain a modicum of sanity, guns will always be more likable than Democrats.  They don’t misfire as much, and, unlike Democrats, having one at your side makes you less  likely to be robbed by strangers who believe that what’s yours is theirs — people like Obama and Hillary and Old B.S., dopes whose development has been arrested (and so should they).  These are politicians young at heart and soft in the head. As do all Democrats, they believe in “free stuff” like the candy and toys the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus used to bring ’em.  They believe that abortion is not murder, that Islam really is a religion of peace, and that folks who honor the U.S. Constitution should be checked for horns and tails.  They believe that deviance is diversity, that black lives matter more than others, and that the sea will swallow New York and Miami by noon tomorrow.  They believe in open borders and closed minds, that the Third World would have been First save for bad luck and capitalism, that schools should indoctrinate rather than educate, and that pedophiles deserve love too.  They have become, in short, unhinged.  They are the party of the determinedly deranged, and the modern Democratic mind is a weapon of mass destruction.

They need to be disarmed.
