This Petraeus Scandal Merged With Benghazi Faux-Scandal Proves One Thing

Our military industrial complex is WAAAAAY too big. None of these stories even made it back to the WH before hand. It seems as if the MIC reports to no one and has become a separate entity from our Govt altogether. Like the CIA & FBI are just entrenched in this deep, twisted spy-game across foreign borders, paranoid of each other with no stated goal except to weed out moles, who wouldn't even be involved in the first place if we weren't engaged in such far-reaching unknown wars & counter-intelligence affairs. What the hell must go on in these sort of shadow govt organizations?? This is just the stuff we know about, imagine what we don't know! Don't get me wrong, I believe Pres.Obama is FULLY in control of our on-the-books wars & all decisions made on military ground game i.e. Bin Laden raid, Afghan War, Strategy, Etc., but I'm not sure anyone even knows what the CIA & FBI is up to, including even them. Like I said, it seems like they answer to no one, pursue whatever they want to pursue, and have a vast far-reaching network that even our own Govt, no matter who is in the WH, Senate, Congress, can even grasp.

Help, My Name is Glenn Beck, And My Self-Centered World-View Is Being Crushed By Science And Reason.

This man is scary-delusional. He gave up punditry and is now going for cult-leader. He also holds these appearances in arenas where he speaks and intertwines religion & govt so tightly you can hear our Founders rolling over in there graves. He brings fake props/replicas of historic items like the Liberty Bell & Constitution on stage and dupes idiots into believing they're the real thing. He has become an evangelist cult leader propaganda machine. People in the audience sway as if he is a messiah, not even realizing they're instead listening to the anti-Christ. (This is just his regular show, not his arena show. Obviously)



"GOD IS STALKING US, AND HE'S NOT GOING TO LEAVE US ALONE"

People have been institutionalized for saying things like that.

Welcome To Liberal America

Barack Obama, gay marriage, weed, and a new focus on climate change. This is the country, and the Republican Party has to adapt.

President Barack Obama’s sweeping victory in the 2012 election, his party’s wide win in the Senate, and the first ever triumph of marriage equality at the polls cemented the reality of a changed America that emerged in 2008.

The shape of that changed country was obscured by the Republican revival of 2010, but the 2012 vote means both the survival of Obama’s policy project and the clear emergence of a new demographic picture and electoral map.

The first post-baby boomer president was returned to the White House with the widest, clearest re-election win since Ronald Reagan won 49 states in 1984, yet a smaller mandate than his own his 2008 victory. And Democrats now have, in Obama, their Reagan: A figure both historic and ideological, who can carry, if not quite fulfill, a liberal vision of activist government and soft but sometimes deadly power abroad that will define his party for a generation.

Obama lacks Reagan’s sweeping victory, and presides over a more deeply divided country than when he took office. But the breadth of his accomplishments have been validated by Tuesday’s vote. ObamaCare is now a firmly rooted component of the nation’s social compact. Americans appear to have accepted his campaign’s argument that he deserves more credit for a nascent economic recovery than blame for it’s slow pace.

It Should Not Take More Than 15 Minutes To Vote In The United States.

If it does, (and IT does) then we are doing elections all wrong. We live in a country that can't even properly hold elections. And not just that, but we can barely hold elections with only around 60% of eligible voters even voting. Imagine we actually ever had an 80% turnout, voting would have to be weeks long. Also, there should be UN officials monitoring ballot counting.

We should make voting a National Holiday, triple the number of precincts, make voting quicker/easier. There MUST be a better way. I've never waited more than 10 minutes to vote here in NYC, but some states really need to get it together. 5 HOUR LINES?!


PSA Just a friendly reminder to GOTV for Pres.Obama because Mitt Romney is the Anti-Christ with cold, soulless eyes.
