 “The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men.” Samuel Adams

The Obama Administration tells different stories on Libya, especially since information surfaced they supplied weapons to rebels, really Islamic extremists, who then killed four Americans and have also fought against American troops. (1)

One grievance in the Declaration reads “He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.”

British General “Gentleman Johnny” Burgoyne negotiated a deal with indians to engage in horrific attacks on civilians at remote settlements. (2)

History shows people are capable of anything in their quest to hold on to power, as Lord Acton reminds us “absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Some say Hitler burned the Reichstag, blamed his opponents and later took power.

In the case with Libya, the administration blamed what was an act of war on a video with the intention of destroying the First Amendment, and Lord knows what else.

Many are beginning to verbalize they suspect something catastrophic may occur that will disrupt the election, and it seems through frequent press releases the administration is telegraphing something sinister is on the horizon. (3)

Still, I hope these fears are unfounded.
