Scandals At Home And Abroad

  • Friday, May 17, 2013

Since my hip operation and time in recovery, I have tried to set aside things that are insignificant to me and to average Americans. Don't get me wrong here. What these people are doing (Bengahzi) is despicable be they left or right wing, and they have been doing it (both sides) for a long time. But the dirty deeds themselves carry little weight as to what they mean to you or me.

What's happening now is the same people responsible for this behavior are using it to distract our attention to what's happening here in our own homeland.

How much have you read about the Congress trying to take away the American workers' right to be paid for mandatory overtime. Why have we turned our prisons over to corporations that use convicts as slave labor, replacing American jobs?

Scandals such as Benghazi should neither go un-noticed nor unpunished, but neither should they be used as a distraction to what is being done to American citizens right here at home.
