REMEMBER BENGHAZI?


Two years ago on September 11th, the Benghazi Massacre took place.  To this day, we still have no answers. 

COMMENTS:
The matter seems to have been dropped in Congress.  Consider this: The same D.O.J. that took 30 days to land at the Benghazi compound and start their “investigation” took two days to start investigating the hacking and release of nude celebrity photos.  We Americans still deserve answers and we should be kicking Congress in the ass for not getting them. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Do you agree that the President is wise to be deliberate and take his time in responding to the various critical problems facing the world?  (Jen ~ Carpinteria, CA)
A. I am definitely not an advocate of “knee-jerk reactions,” but let me ask you a question: If there were a serial killer in your town and your police chief was being “deliberate and taking his time,” acting as if it were no big deal, what would you do with him?  If that serial killer got TV time and taunted the town, saying “You’re next,” and your police chief said he wasn’t going to be bullied into doing anything, what would be your response?  Maybe Obama should go walk his dog, play a round of golf and “deliberate” some more? 

I do remember when I was a kid in a small town in Arizona, the police chief used to sit on his porch with a rifle across his lap after work.  Nobody in town messed with him and we had no crime.  That’s the way the United States used to be; Uncle Sam was big and powerful and he sat on the national porch with his gun across his lap.  Nobody messed with us.  These days, Uncle Sam doesn’t sit on the porch anymore; he’s been replaced by a mental basket-case with a broken peashooter in his lap.  And yes, other countries are messing with us. 

Q. What do you think about that statutory rape victim who is being asked to pay child support?  (Cleotis ~ Richmond, CA)
A. It’s a tad different than the headlines would have you believe.  It was a 14 year-old boy who had sex with a 20 year-old woman when he was in high school in Arizona. State law says no one there can have “consensual” sex if they are under 15, which he was, so he is technically a statutory rape victim.  When he was 20, he got served with notice that he had to pay back child support totaling $15,000.  Now, I have to agree that at the age of 14, he probably had no idea of what the financial ramifications might be if she got pregnant.  And, she did take advantage of him because she did know what those ramifications might be.  So, who should pay?  If she can’t, who is going to support the kid?  You and me?  Perhaps, if either one of them had had any religion in their life, it wouldn’t have happened, so let’s blame Jesus.
