Spending as much time as I do perusing political news and events, I certainly understand that the first -and often the only- thought of partisans is to politicize every happening regarding their favorite sons and daughters.
Nonetheless, I’d also think that even the most ardent among them would be interested in learning the truths underlying questionable behavior. Especially when the security of the nation’s at stake.
However, despite the inherent risks of ardently protecting inferior or unqualified office-holder’s, loyalists continually defy logic by circling their wagons, attempting to shield even those most obviously unworthy of their responsibilities.
Another example of the perils of partisanship appeared today in an article on FoxNews.com, as follows: “The Libya controversy could undermine Clinton’s case as a future presidential candidate – something her supporters say is the real reason behind the push to get her back in the Benghazi spotlight. President Obama also pushed back against the revived controversy on Monday, calling it a political "sideshow."
So, here we have supporters of the boss’ wife preferring to ignore potential weaknesses in the nation’s security system rather than questioning the then Secretary of State’s capabilities.
That premise to me is so irrationally immature, I can’t imagine anyone being that naïve or ignorant. Because if an unbiased properly conducted investigation determines that critical mistakes were made at the top. Or that saving political face was deemed more important by them than the safety of the nation’s foreign representatives. Then, those holding any leadership posts, including the Secretary herself, are clearly unfit for any government office.
Yet, without even trying to take the simplest of steps to determine what actually happened in Benghazi, partisan zealots will continue to try to prevent further questioning of the matter. However, the problem I have with that is, although I could simply sit back and laugh at their narrow-minded stupidity, since I happen to live here too, they’re putting me at risk right alongside them which they have absolutely no right whatsoever to do.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
