Will America Ever Be Forgiven For Slavery?
Question, please: If we today are guilty of the slave trade of two centuries ago, and today's African-Americans deserve reparations for that, then aren't today's Democrats guilty of the Ku Klux Klan's violence? The Tunnel Dweller
Patricia L. Dickson ... "I have listened to the counter arguments presented by my fellow black Americans as to which slave owners where the worst (although there is no way to prove any of it) and I have come to this conclusion. In the words of Hillary Rodham Clinton, “what difference, at this point, does it make?” Does it not matter that an estimated 700,000 lives were lost fighting the Civil War to end slavery? What can Liberals and race baiters hope to gain by constantly throwing slavery in the midst of every discussion? Finally, if a Holy God can forgive sinful man for his past sins, how is it that sinful man can never forgive other sinful men for past sins? Will America every be forgiven for its role in slavery? Patricia's corner

Unsung heroes flew to Libya for Benghazi survivors, victims (Updated)
First Benghazi whistleblower emerges "President Obama is poised to reap a whirlwind of consequences for his conduct of the war on terror. Iraq is falling into the hands of the enemy President Bush had defeated on the battlefield. The fact that the Obama administration lied to the American people about the Benghazi attack in order to smooth his re-election makes his failures in conducting the affairs of state not merely a matter of incompetence or honest mistakes but actual venality."
"A new report makes these consequences closer to reality."
The untold story of Maj. Eric Stahl and his US Air Force crew.
"What's up with that video?"
"I have no idea"
The attackers used State Department cell phones to take orders from higher-ups. We hear the description of how both the American bodies were loaded on their plane and how the attackers got on their escape plane.
US spy agencies heard Benghazi attackers using State Dept. cell phones to call terrorist leaders ... "The disclosure is important because it adds to the body of evidence establishing that senior U.S. officials in the Obama administration knew early on that Benghazi was a terrorist attack, and not a spontaneous protest over an anti-Islam video that had gone awry, as the administration claimed for several weeks after the attacks." ...

On the "Cantor Calamity" and immigration
"So, when? When is the least damaging moment politically for Obama to make this now inevitable move? My best guess is that he’s going to stick to the original timeline of doing it during the August recess. " ...
Comprehensive Defeat
"A lot of Republicans, disproportionately those in Washington, D.C., harbor the fantasy that the party could make great gains among Hispanic voters if it would only offer legal status to millions of illegal immigrants, create large guest-worker programs, and refrain from insisting that enforcement of the existing laws be shown to work before taking these steps. Cantor refused to shut the door on this approach, so primary voters shut the door on him."
Brat’s Victory Means Re-evaluation Time for the GOP " Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who embraces a more welcoming immigration policy than does much of the Republican nominating electorate, may construe Cantor’s defeat as a discouraging augury concerning any presidential aspirations Bush might have."
Did Democratic Meddling Defeat Eric Cantor? "Dave Brat's stunning victory over House majority leader Eric Cantor is being hailed as a huge win for the Tea Party and immigration hawks, but might Brat actually owe his victory to Democrats, who were eligible to vote in Tuesday's open primary? That's a question Republican strategist Patrick Ruffini raised late last night on Twitter, where he pointed out that Brat performed very well in districts where Obama did best in 2012:: ... In other words, was Brat the Democrat's choice?

‘Amnesty’ Has Claimed a Victim ... "To critics of immigration reform, the defeat of Cantor reflects a growing wave of opposition to congressional action on immigration, particularly anything resembling the Senate-passed measure that offers a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants here.
"But if a wave exists, there was no evidence of it in the Republican primary in South Carolina won by Senator Lindsey Graham, a co-sponsor of the Senate bill and an outspoken advocate of letting illegals stay in the U.S. Graham got four or five times as many votes as Brat."

HOW TO SOLVE THAT "HUMANITARIAN CRISIS" - HUNDREDS, PERHAPS THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT KIDS BEING DUMPED BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IN ARIZONA AND OTHER STATES
"THIS CURRENT CRISIS IS COMPLETELY MANUFACTURED BY OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES - BY OPENING THE BORDERS AND REFUSING TO PROSECUTE ILLEGALS WHICH SENT THE SIGNAL TO PEOPLE WANTING TO COME HERE ILLEGALY(sp) THAT NOW WAS THE TIME."
"IT IS CLASSIC CLOWARD-PIVEN - (FROM WIKI):
"IN THIS CASE, OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES ARE HOPING TO MAKE THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRISIS SO BAD THAT -
"IT IS CLASSIC CLOWARD-PIVEN - (FROM WIKI):
The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty".
(AFTER THE LEFTIST DOMINATED MASS MEDIA PUSHES THE "HUMANITARIAN CRISIS" ASPECT OF THE MESS) -
CONGRESS WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PASS AMNESTY.
IF YOU THINK THINGS ARE BAD NOW, WAIT TILL THEY START TO DEBATE A BILL IN CONGRESS;
WHAT LOOKS LIKE A FLOOD NOW WILL BECOME A TSUNAMI!
THERE'S ONE WAY TO STOP THIS:
VOTE GOP IN NOVEMBER!
DAVE BRAT GOP THAT IS! WOW!"
DAVE BRAT GOP THAT IS! WOW!"

Ann Couter: Cantor Loses By 11 Million Voters ..."Cantor spent more than $5 million on his campaign. Brat spent less than $150,000. But Brat made the election about Cantor's support for amnesty, so he won.
"The pro-amnesty crowd -- i.e., everyone except the American people -- promptly lost its collective mind. The amnesty shills went on the attack, insisting that Cantor's historic defeat had nothing to do amnesty. Brat's triumph was touted as simply a victory for the "tea party.

The incomprehensible booty for a military deserter
Pakistan Daily Times "Here is the real question. Who benefits from this deal? The United States military does not benefit. This eviscerates morale within the ranks. There are no yellow ribbons tied around the old oak tree, no veterans clamouring to line up and shake Bergdahl’s hand."...
... "Americans no longer trust Washington’s elite ‘Liar’s Club’. The Beltway jesters consistently deliver unbelievable whoppers. Captured on the ‘battlefield’? Bergdahl was not captured due to superior Afghan firepower and ground support. He was not taken by the enemy after firing the last bullet, throwing a grenade, or slicing the liver out of the enemy with his K-bar." ...
... "President Obama ran on a platform of transparency in government but the drawbridge went up the day he walked into the White House. He has consistently worked to actively deny Americans basic truths regarding his ill-clad foreign policy endeavours." ...

FOX News Most Trusted, MSNBC Least Trusted, Media Matters Hardest Hit
American Glob "A study by the Brookings Institute asked the following question…
"Ed Morrissey of Hot Air has more details…
"MSNBC is not so much a news network as it is a home for insane progressives who insult conservatives in vicious ways, then apologize, get fired and are quickly replaced by people just like them.
"Media Matters, which claims to be an impartial media watchdog and operates as a tax free non-profit organization, constantly attacks FOX News while completely ignoring MSNBC.
"Then again, it looks like everyone else is ignoring MSNBC too."

Shocker: MSNBC Is Everything Liberals Accuse FOX News Of Being
“Which of the following television news sources do you trust the most to provide accurate information about politics and current events?”
"Ed Morrissey of Hot Air has more details…
The most-trusted name in news for all Americans is, unsurprisingly, Fox News, which also has the highest ratings by far in the industry. Broadcast news — the three networks — come in a close second, with CNN a more distant third place. However, the “honor” of being the least-trusted name in news, in practically every demographic, is MSNBC, a subsidiary of NBC News — which ranks below Jon Stewart among all but Democrats."None of this is very surprising. FOX News is the only news network, cable or otherwise, which is willing to ask difficult questions of the Obama administration which is exactly why it drives liberals crazy.

Left pivots from ‘Tea Party is dead’ to ‘Tea Party hates Jews’ after Cantor loses
First this: House Majority Leader Cantor defeated in primary "In an upset for the ages, Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, the second-most powerful man in the House, was dethroned Tuesday by a little-known, tea party-backed Republican primary challenger carried to victory on a wave of public anger over calls for looser immigration laws." ...

The Top 8 Consequences of Cantor's Defeat ... "This is a stunning night for the GOP. And just as in 2010, the establishment and its donors have no idea just what to do about it. The answer should be: unify."
White House: Immigration Didn’t Sink Cantor "Cantor’s campaign sent out direct mail pieces ahead of the election maintaining that he was ”stopping the Obama-Reid plan to give illegal aliens amnesty,” but challenger Dave Brat accused him of supporting “amnesty” based on his support for legislation such as the KIDS Act, which would give citizenship to children brought to the country illegally."

Boehner — and it has the potential to change both the debate in Washington on immigration and, possibly, the midterm elections."

ABC News’s Diane Sawyer destroys Hillary Rodham Clinton on Benghazi
WaPo ... "In an interview with Clinton that aired last night on ABC News, anchor Diane Sawyer threw the ARB right back in the face of the former secretary of state. The two tangled over the preparedness of the U.S. diplomatic installation in Benghazi for a terrorist attack. In defending her work on this front, Clinton stressed that she had delegated the particulars of security to the experts in the field. “I’m not equipped to sit and look at blueprints to determine where the blast walls need to be, where the reinforcements need to be. That’s why we hire people who have that expertise,” said Clinton, who did the interview as part of the tour for her book “Hard Choices.”
