“By publishing the liberal ravings of a retired English teacher who supports his assertions with bogus data from liberal rags barely one week apart, advocating the reelection of Barack Hussein Obama and gun control, I must conclude that the EV Tribune supports socialism and a defenseless citizenry. For his information, it is already illegal to transport firearms across the border into Mexico, except for the Feds. Governor Jan Brewer and other Arizona politicians are not afraid of the NRA, they are implementing the wishes of the citizens of Arizona.”
“Obama lied, people died, Obama, Hillary, Napolitano and all others that lied in fast and furious and in the Libya cover up must be brought to justice before the American public taxpayers.”
“If Dora, Spongebob and Mickey can survive without taxpayer funds, Big Bird and Elmo will be just fine without taxpayer support!”
“It takes a lot of brass to scold someone on foreign policy when your own foreign policy is to evade the draft with deferments. Actions speak louder than words and are a reflection of ones character. They are not a phantasm that can be etch-A-scetched away.”
“It’s about time that the Supreme Court shot down Affirmative Action, not only in College and University admissions but everywhere. Why should the color or lack of color of a person’s skin give them precedence over another equally or less-equally qualified applicant? America was founded as a ‘meritocracy’. Every man and woman being equal irregardless of ethnicity, wealth, and religion. Let’s get back to an applicant’s qualifications as the sole reason for admission.”
“I would like to commend your paper for covering the High School Sports program. Since there are quite a few kids that are not involved in sports but are in the Arts (Band, Chorus and Plays), I would appreciate some coverage of those items. Maybe you could give the Arts programs one column to list all the plays and events that the community could go to. The plays we have gone to have been quite good, it is just hard to know when to look for them at each individual high school.”

No way, Arizona Willie….
Joe Biden took issue with Mitt Romney's initial response to the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Saying Romney politicized it.
And now, the Obama administration, and David Axelrod (senior Obama campaign strategist), shift their story on the Libya security failures again. And blame its shifting story on intelligence information, saying it changed as the evidence changed.
But, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and Republican lawmakers are not buying those lies. "The intelligence community on the ground in Libya has told Sen. Corker and myself that within 24 hours, they communicated up to Washington that this was a terrorist attack," Graham said. "The president of Libya, on the same day, said it was a terrorist attack."
The death of Ambassador Stevens IS NOT a campaign issue . . . But, as VENT # 2 wrote; it’s more lies by Obama and all of the others. Prevaricated to confuse the Libya attack issue.

Willie, you should have stayed in school rather than dropping out. Maybe you would be able to write using proper English, i.e. sentence structure, grammar and word usage. Programs like school sports, drama and music are all part of a comprehensive education program that includes activities that give students an opportunity to become more well-rounded. Developing young minds means more than just teaching them science, math, history, English, a foreign language, etc. I'm sorry that you didn't have the talent to "make the team" or excel in other extracurricular activities.

Accuracy, I think what Biden meant was that the information that the embassy had requested more security did not get all the way up the food chain to the Office of the President.
It was handled by the State Department without requesting advice / direction from the Pres. Just normal operations. The State Department probably had a budget they were trying to stay within and without hard evidence of immediate threat the SD felt it couldn't justify spending outside the budget
Which would have been the case with a Republican administration also.
So, in the sense that the State Department is < part > of the administration .. then yes the administration did know. But the Pres did not know that more security had been requested.

VENT # 2: “Obama lied, people died, Obama, Hillary, Napolitano and all others that lied in fast and furious and in the Libya cover up must be brought to justice before the American public taxpayers.”
President Obama caught lying again! After the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, President Obama issued a statement about the deaths of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans, and told the American public that an increase in security measures would be taken to protect U.S. Embassies and members serving in the U.S. diplomatic corps.
Obama downplayed the possibility of terrorism and initially blamed it on an anti-Muslim amateurish movie promo uploaded to YouTube. And the White House failed to call the onslaught a terrorist attack.
The attack on our consulate in Benghazi and murder of an ambassador and three others, clearly the work of terrorists, was labeled by Obama as the result of a crudely-made anti-Islam video.
During the only vice-presidential debate of the 2012 election season, Vice President Joe Biden states that the administration didn’t know anything about repeated requests for additional security at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, despite two days of congressional testimony stating so with copies of cables from the U.S. Consulate read into evidence.

6th venter: probably less than 1% of students even try out for the sports teams in schools.
Maybe the same percentage, or a little more, try out for drama and band and similar activities.
Sports participants have a better chance of being hit by lightening twice than they do of making it to the Pro level and having a career there.
Odds are possibly just a wee bit better, but not much, of a drama student making it a career or a band member.
It's a shame, in one way, that the schools don't spend as much on drama and band as they do on sports.
But on the other hand, all the money spent on those activities is a distraction from the REAL purpose of school -- to educate kids in fields that they are likely to find employment and make contributions to society.
I have long held that ALL sports programs should be discontinued and the land used for school athletic fields sold and the money put into the education system.
If parents want to groom their kids to try to be pro-athletes they should enroll them in after school programs ran by retired pro-athletes.
TAXPAYERS SHOULD NOT BE PAYING FOR THEIR DREAMS.
I think the same thing holds true for most other school activities with the possible exception for debate ... which teaches organizational skills along with presentation skills that can and do come in handy in their careers ... sometimes.
But, if parents want their kids to play an instrument -- there are many fine teachers in music stores.
If parents want their kid to be thespians, I wouldn't be surprised but there are places outside of schools for that too.
TAXPAYERS SHOULD NOT BE PAYING FOR PARENTS DREAMS FOR THEIR KIDS.
Schools should be there for teaching academics ... not how to exit stage left or how to make a left oblique turn with a tuba, or for how to block the left offensive tackle.
