“Is this still America?….. “See, you have never experienced a free America. You have never experienced that “shining city on a hill” as Ronald Reagan so loved to describe America. Reagan knew THAT America. He had experienced that America. Many of America’s so-called senior citizens living today also remember that America. I do.”

Ah yes, “the older I get, the better I was” syndrome!
Again and again the hue and cry goes out to “Restore America”!
But was America really something of our ideals rather than the reality that was really out there?
For instance, did our founding fathers seek “liberty and freedom” for all mem and not just the elite? Remember that the first Con-Con was to just update our first constitution, The Articles of Confederation, not to do away with the first constitution altogether. (Is “We The people” really just the signers of the preamble to our present constitution, rather than…”Joe SixPack,” for instance?)

Exclusive: CIA Honored Benghazi Chief in Secret Ceremony
The Daily Beast ^ | May 21, 2013 | Eli LakePosted on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 7:30:07 AM by don-o
At a secret February ceremony at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., the chief of the CIA’s base in Benghazi the night of the 9/11 anniversary attacks there was awarded one of the agency’s highest intelligence medals, according to U.S. military and intelligence officials.
The honor given behind closed doors to “Bob,” the officer who was in charge of the Benghazi intelligence annex and CIA base that was attacked in the early morning of September 12, 2012 and then abandoned for nearly three weeks, illustrates the murky lines of command that preceded the attack, and helped make it a politically volatile issue.

Abstract: North’s career shows an undeniable streak of deceit and misuse of the trust of colleagues and the American public. His most significant betrayal was engineering the trade of arms to Iran for US hostages. North would become a threat if he were to succeed in a bid for the Senate.

LET ME TRY to describe Oliver North in a few fast bursts. He’s a jackass. He is so preposterous that there is a temptation to laugh at him.
He’s smarmy, a flatter, a brownnoser. He’s also a twisted impostor, a drugstore Marine with an apparent compulsion to bullshit just about all the time.
But while he tries to fool people with his fantasies, he is also very easy to fool. He boasts that he was an can-do guy when he was in the White House, but the record spells no-can-do. North did terible damage to the U.S. until he was caught. One thread runs through his performance–getting conned.

American prisoners-of-war held by communist North Vietnam during the years between 1965 and 1973 will celebrate their 40th year of freedom as a result of the release engineered by Pres. Nixon in 1973.
The Nixon Library, on the occasion of both the 100th anniversary of the president’s birth and the 40th anniversary of the formal dinner he hosted in May 1973 for recently returned American POWs, will recreate that dinner at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, CA, on May 24.
Hundreds of still-living POWs will attend, and several have already been interviewed by Diane Sawyer to air during the week of May 20. The first such interview will air on ABC World News (check for local stations) at 6:30 p.m., EDT, Monday, May 20 (repeated at 6:30 p.m. on May 27th, Memorial Day).

Do you ever wonder where all the jerks
come from who disrupt Internet
discussion boards?
Some are volunteers.
But a whole lot of them are paid.
An outstanding presentation on this
topic.
















Upon the convergence of three evolving and daunting scandals, and in the teeth of repeated policy failures of unusually repetitive and desultory consistency, let’s make a humble request of Barack. If it must be an unending litany of failure, broken promises and unfulfilled visions—might we not try a different tack?
