Bad Faith and Benghazi

I say we don't really know what difference it makes. All we know is that preventing us from knowing the truth about Benghazi motivated Hillary and others in the Obama administration to lie about it. In other words, it made a huge difference to them. Only when we know why deceiving us about Benghazi was so important to them, will we really know what difference it makes.
I would like for Hillary Clinton to tell us what difference it makes. After all, it mattered enough to her and the rest of the Obama administration to lie about the Behghazi attack in the first place. Why was the truth so toxic to Clinton and Obama that they chose to spin such a ridiculous lie?

As to what weapons should be permissible for US citizens to possess, it seems obvious to me that whatever weapons our government is permitted to use against its citizens, should be available to the citizen. To take an extreme example, nuclear weapons should not be available to citizens, just as the government should not be permitted to use them against its citizens. But, at the other end of the spectrum, if government agents are permitted 30-round clips, so should citizens and if police departments are permitted armored vehicles, so should citizens. This is it was at the time of our founding. The citizens and government were on an equal footing then and should be now as well.

I'm sorry, but at least half of college and university diplomas are worthless, signifying only that someone has wasted four or more years of their life. Your failure to recognize that not all diplomas are equal is a monumental mistake. I am involved in my employer's hiring process and am amazed at how poorly educated many graduates are. We have resorted to giving applicants a quiz covering only material that should have been learned in high school and find most college graduates fail miserably. The time they spent in college has prepared them for nothing better than parking cars or bussing tables. The time and money they spent was a totally wasted.

Billiards and the Art of Persuasion

What a depressing thought. Most voters, particularly young women, are too stupid to be persuaded by logic and common sense- more proof that women's suffrage was a big mistake.

You mistake the Republican Party for a conservative party. If there is anything that the Republican Party wants to conserve it's all of the encroachments on our liberty that the left has already succeeded in imposing on us. Otherwise, not so much. Until there is a competitive political party that is actually willing to consistently stand for liberty instead of more big government, I see no reason to be optimistic.

Is Your Doctor Really A Doctor?

If your point is that people should not be able to try and fool others into believing that they are doctors or equivalent to doctors when they are not, I'm on board. Let's throw them in jail and throw away the key. If, on the other hand, you think that we need even more restrictive occupational licensing laws, I could not disagree more. I believe we should repeal all occupational licensing laws but rigorously enforce honesty in disclosure of credentials and qualifications.
For the Republican establishment, politics is a game. When someone running with an R after their name is elected, they consider it a win. What the candidate does once in office is immaterial. Whether there are ever any conservative policies enacted or not is immaterial. All that matters is that an "R" won. That is why I am no longer a Republican. Politics is not a game to me. Our survival as a free people is at stake and they are playing games. I will not vote for anyone who has not convinced me that, if elected, they will fight with all their might to roll back the government's many encroachments on our freedom. If our liberty is going to be lost anyway, I say let the Democrats do it.

I am 62 years old and there has never been a day in my life where one could honestly say that government was not larger and more intrusive than it was a year earlier. Compromising on how much the government will grow is just slow-motion capitulation. It's time for leftists to have to compromise on how much government will shrink. Anyone who is not going to help make that happen is not on our side. I have had my fill of big government republicans and will never vote for one again.
If two armed thugs approach me on the street and decide that the three of us should vote on whether or not I should give them my money, they are just doing what the majority of voters in our nation do when they enter the voting booth. We have become a nation of thieves, the Democrat Party is the main crime syndicate, and our future is very bleak.
