In the wake of the embassy attacks in Egypt and Libya, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) took to the floor of the House on Wednesday to remind the misguided Obama administration, the Washington elite, and, by extension, the misinformed drones in the mainstream media, of a little thing like the government’s responsibility under the Constitution to protect and defend American citizens, and those who are serving their country at home and abroad ~

Hitting on all the administration’s recent fiascos – Libya, Netanyahu/Israel, fundraising while the Middle East burns – Gohmert totally slams Obama, all the while maintaining a measured tone of civility ~
“It does not help when an administration in response to American attacks on American soil and American individuals, the administration ends up asking Americans to give up their First Amendment rights for which our service members are fighting…
It is an inconvenient thing to have to be president when you’re really best at running for office… 😀
The people who have laid down their lives for the American ideal deserve the best we can give them.”
In light of the frantic attempts by the bumbling State Department to obfuscate, apologize and blame America first, along with the coordinated misdirection by the media, it’s darn reassuring to know that there are still some in D.C. who are willing to stand up for the truth!

Michael Rubin at the Daily Caller articulates just what’s at stake in this contemporary war of worldviews, from “What really motivated the embassy attacks?” ~
The war on terrorism and, more specifically, the fight against Islamist radicalism, is an ideological battle. The United States, moderate Muslims, and those valuing freedom and liberty must triumph not only on the battlefield, but also in the classroom and on the airwaves. Alas, apologies and self-flagellation represent not a path to peace, but little more than preemptive surrender.
