Hillary Honored, America Dishonored

            With all the attention focused these days almost exclusively on the Syrian embarrassment, other notable items have been squeezed off the front page.   One in particular made me want to vomit.  On September 10th, the eve of the twelfth anniversary of 9/11 and the first anniversary of Benghazi, the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia honored Hillary Clinton for her lifelong career in public service.

            Say what?  How can any self-respecting organization choose to honor Mrs. Clinton on that day when her inexcusably bad judgment and the gross errors of her department led to the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi.  I cannot imagine a more deliberate insult to the brave men's families who are still waiting for answers as to what really happened and why.
            What we do know about our former Secretary of State is that she was intimately involved in the cover-up of the facts surrounding the Benghazi tragedy.  She shamelessly lied repeatedly to America, to the world, and to the grieving families about a video being the cause of the attack on our consulate.  
            We do know that her signature was on the order that denied increased security for the Benghazi compound.  When she finally admitted responsibility for the State Department's failure in protecting our people in Libya, she should have resigned.  But there was not an ounce of honor in her duplicitous heart.  To this day she has not paid the price for her mendacity and gross dereliction of duty.  Instead, we are left with her unforgettably callous response, "What difference does it make now?"
            This was the woman the National Constitution Center chose to honor?
            Also adding to my revulsion on that day was a Republican.  The man who presented the honor to Hillary Clinton was the Chairman of the National Convention Center, none other than Jeb Bush, the brother of the president who for years has been the target of relentless slanders by Mrs. Clinton's party.  I have been an admirer of Jeb Bush.  He did a terrific job as governor of Florida, and I always thought he would make a fine candidate for the presidency.  But now, If he decides to run in 2016, I hope he doesn't come knocking on my door asking for my support.
            Of course, the Administration and the mainstream media would like us to forget Benghazi.  Perhaps I should, too.  It's ancient history.  After all, what difference does it make now?
