Tea at Trianon: Benghazi Terrorists Who Killed Americans Could Easily Enter the U.S.

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Benghazi Terrorists Who Killed Americans Could Easily Enter the U.S.

From Sara Carter:

Former CIA analyst Sarah Adams joins Sara to discuss her work in Pakistan, Libya, and elsewhere during the war on terrorism. Adams is also the co-author of “Benghazi: Know Thy Enemy,” and takes us inside the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Adams offers new details on how U.S. forces were ordered to stand down while the attack was underway and how many of the terrorists responsible for killing four Americans are not only free but the U.S. government isn’t even trying to find them or putting them on any terror watch list. She also reveals how President Obama ignored the ISIS threat at the time and refused to read reports on the subject. Adams also fears terrorist networks are quickly reforming in Afghanistan and will soon be more dangerous than ever before. (Read more.)
