Obama's "Light Touch" Sanctimony

2013-06-11T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
There is no longer any shock value in catching the President saying something diametrically opposed to reality. We are all too familiar with Barack "It-was-the-video" Obama and a plethora of other exaggerations and fantasies. Occasionally, though, he goes beyond his own standards for hypocrisy.

A Pattern of Perjury

Rejected by two federal judges, a third judge finally granted Holder's covert targeted request. The DOJ traced Rosen's movements, his calls, his personal e-mails, even his parents' phone records.

Spreading the Wealth

Bob Beauprez Column
How far down the redistribution of wealth path have we traveled? And, how near is the day of reckoning? Yet for all of the fiscal cliff, debt ceiling, and financial Armageddon deadline negotiations that come and go, there seems zero willingness to address the elephant in the room.

Colorado Dems: "Sheriffs stand with Criminals"

2013-05-30T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
Advice and public testimony aside, the Democrats ignored the Sheriffs. Subsequently, John Hickenlooper, the Democrat Governor, signed the bills into law. Sticking to their convictions, 55 of the 62 county sheriffs filed a lawsuit in federal court on May 17 seeking to overturn the legislation on constitutional grounds.

Rand Paul: "Congress should be on trial" - not Apple

Bob Beauprez Column
Apple employs 600,000 people in the U.S. and is the largest corporate taxpayer in the country. Last year alone, the company paid $6 billion in taxes. This year they expect to pay $7 billion.

Restoring Freedom, Saving the Republic

We're living in a time when freedom is again being assaulted. Not just by foreign threats, but by an increasingly tyrannical central government.

The AP Targeted After Stealing Obama’s Spotlight

2013-05-18T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
By the time the AP published their report, the CIA had lifted national security concerns. Nonetheless, the CIA continued to lobby the AP to hold the story until the President got to thump his chest first.

Obamacare Causes Massive Premium Increases - Nearly 100 Percent on Average

2013-05-16T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
As the Obama Administration juggles multiple scandals – Benghazi, IRS, and now the AP – the pack of lies that the President told to sell ObamaCare will likely go virtually unnoticed.

Obama Says Benghazi Criticism a "Sideshow" – ask Sean Smith's Mother

2013-05-15T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
Barack Obama dismisses the continuing criticism about the Benghazi cover-up as a "sideshow" that is politically motivated by the GOP. He claims that his administration has been completely truthful about the scandal that cost four American lives on September 11, 2012. There is nothing more to tell, or so he says.

Obamaspeak Takes Failure to New Highs

2013-05-14T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
A new language was introduced in Washington when President Obama began his first term in office. For a time, it flummoxed his observers, including many Republicans, who were caught off-balance by the combination of the President’s soaring rhetoric and his Chicago-style politics.

ABC News: 12 Revisions to Benghazi Talking Points

2013-05-11T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
Maybe - just maybe - the scales will fall from at least a few of the Obamaphiles in the media to help expose what really happened in Benghazi and find out who was responsible.

Benghazi Whistleblower: Special Ops told "You can't go now."

2013-05-08T00:01:00-04:00

U.S. Special Operations forces in Libya were on the way to the airport to board a Libyan government plane to Benghazi but were told "you can't go now; you don't have authority to go now."

Benghazi: Entitled to the Truth

2013-05-06T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
How the Obama White House's talking points evolved in those first days and who was ultimately responsible for the Administration's preferred version of "the truth" quickly became part of a growing scandal, and remains so today.

Benghazi: Still looking for Answers, Part III

2013-05-05T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
Here is the Part III report by Adam Housley in which the military Special Operator with intimate knowledge of the Benghazi attack charges that the Obama Administration "had no plan" of how to respond to the attack despite the multiple security warnings that preceded that fateful night.

Benghazi: Still looking for Answers, Part II

2013-05-04T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
Within hours after the attack on September 11, 2012 Obama pledged to "bring to justice those responsible." However, the Special Operator confirms that the U.S. has both the intelligence and the capability to fulfill the President's pledge, but no one will give the order to act.

Benghazi: Still looking for Answers

2013-05-03T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
Thanks to the persistence of several Members of Congress, and family members of the fallen victims the search for the truth has continued. Many bloggers, investigative journalists, and particularly Fox News have kept the quest for answers alive, as well. A Line of Sight has written about the Benghazi scandal no less than three dozen times.

Russian Terrorist Connections to Boston Bombers

2013-05-01T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
The Obama Administration's company line is that the Tsarnaev brothers were lone wolves, or "knock-off jihadis" (Biden's term), who perpetrated their madness for reasons unknown. That's beginning to sound about as credible as the Benghazi attack being a spontaneous response to a movie almost no one had seen.

All that Ammo

2013-04-28T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
At the same time that Obama was trying to limit or deny the rights of citizens, the government was loading up – literally – in an unprecedented way, including 174,000 hollow-point bullets for the Social Security Administration.

At the Intersection of Terrorism and Immigration

2013-04-23T22:17:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
It's a signature terror tactic that has been familiar in Israel, much of the Middle East and Afghanistan for a long time; a likely link to major terror networks, but executed by one or two individuals.

Tax Freedom Day

2013-04-20T00:01:00-04:00

Bob Beauprez Column
Not only do Americans have to work almost 30% of the year just to fund government, but the total amount of federal and state taxes paid will be $4.22 trillion – and it won't come close to enough. The federal government will borrow and spend almost a trillion dollars more than that!
