“We
are anguished as mothers, grandmothers and lovers of children that
this is what the children, the girls in Nigeria are worth,” Sheila
Jackson Lee said while holding up $12, the amount of money the girls
are said to have been sold for by their kidnappers. “And so our
first command and demand is to use all resources to bring the
terrorist thugs to justice.”
“We
want our girls back and we want them back now. We want this terrorist
group brought to justice, and we want the slaughter and the
intimidation, the trafficking, the murders, we want this stopped
today,” Barbara Lee added.
“The
seizure of these young women by this radical extremist group, Boko
Haram, is abominable. It's criminal, it's an act of terrorism, and
it really merits the fullest response possible.”
These
first
two paragraphs
were uttered by democrat members of Congress in response to the
kidnapping of nearly three hundred young Nigerian girls by the
terrorist organization, Boko Haram. The third paragraph is a direct
quote from Hillary Clinton,
answering a question from ABC's Robin Roberts at the Philanthropy New
York's 35th
Annual Meeting at the Ford Foundation on Wednesday.
While I
take issue with Ms. Jackson Lee attempting to command
anyone to do anything as a member of Congress, what I'd really like
to do in this post is point out the blatantly
obvious hypocrisy in their strong words.
Now
I'd like to share the strong words from Sheila Jackson Lee about the
terrorist attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, Libya on
11 SEP 12. You remember, the attack in which Ambassador Chris
Stevens, U.S. Foreign Service Information Officer Sean Smith, and
C.I.A. Contractors and former Navy SEAL team members Ty Woods and
Glen Doherty were killed? *******crickets chirping*******
That's
right, ladies and gentlemen – no calls, demands, or commands to
“use all resources to bring the terrorist thugs to justice.”
Hmmm... I wonder why that is...
I'm
sure Congresswoman Barbara Lee must have said something
about bringing the full resources of the United States to bear in
finding out what, exactly, happened in Benghazi that night, or at
least bringing the terrorists to justice. *******wind blowing*******
Nope.
Nothing. Not a word. What the....?
I
know
former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just has
to be calling for a complete and thorough investigation into the
events of 11 SEP 12, as well as throwing her full support behind the
new Congressional Select Committee, headed by South Carolina
Representative Trey Gowdy, which will be doing the investigating.
Well..... Not exactly.
When
Robin Roberts asked Clinton if she was "satisfied with the
answers" and "content with what you know what happened,"
Clinton replied:
"Absolutely."
"I
mean, of course there are a lot of reasons why, despite all of the
hearings, all of the information that's provided, some choose not to
be satisfied and choose to continue to move forward," Clinton
said.
"That's their choice, and I do not believe there's
any reason for it to continue in this way, but they get to call the
shots in the Congress.” Yes, she actually
said that.
Of
course, can we really expect anything more from the woman who told
the families of the dead when their flag-draped coffins were sitting
right in front of them that “we'll get” the guy “who made the
video” and essentially shouted from a rooftop while testifying in
front of Congress “What difference, at this point, does it make?!”
when referring to what reason the four men died?
Nobody
in this administration has told the truth about the events in
Benghazi from day one. Most of them can't even bring themselves to
call it an act
of terrorism
without being pressed hard on it, and democrats in the House and
Senate blindly and actively support this administration's blatantly
ridiculous talking points, stories, and outright lies
about Benghazi.
The
saddest thing of all is they don't seem to even want
to so much as think about perhaps pondering the possibility of
thinking about feeling badly about the four Americans
who were brutally murdered that day. In fact, I submit they've done
as much as they possibly could to block
any investigation into the matter. They're still
trying to marginalize Benghazi. Just today, Former Speaker of the
House Nancy Pelosi called the Select Committee investigation a
“diversion.”
For
the record, I find the kidnapping of the Nigerian girls from their
boarding school, and the subsequent threats tho sell them into
slavery and marriages absolutely deplorable, and I hope beyond hope
that karma catches up to those Boko Haram bastards sooner rather than
later. I believe that the United States has a moral imperative to do
everything within its power to do what it can to bring the Nigerian
girls home to their families, as safely and quickly as possible.
The
hypocrisy of the democrats concerning the two incidents is certainly
predictable. It is, however, still disconcerting to me that they
give the appearance
of
caring more for the kidnapped girls than they did for four American
citizens. Calling for the United States to use “all resources”
to bring back the Nigerian girls, while remaining virtually silent
on Benghazi, except to denigrate those of us who have done our level
best to keep alive, just speaks volumes, doesn't it?
It's
no coincidence that the name of one of the Facebook pages I'm
involved with is “Liberal
are Hypocrites.” ~ Hunter
