Conjunction Junction, What's Your Function?

The conjunction but is used to show opposite or conflicting ideas in the same sentence. For example: "I take responsibility but I was not making security decisions" as stated by Hillary Clinton during a recent interview with Diane Sawyer.

Whatever happened to responsibility and accountability? When CW and Big Fred were driving that boat for the US Navy and some boatswain mate pulled the cork somewhere, who the hell would be blamed? Who should be blamed? Right you are dear friends, THE COMMANDERS! I'm positive CW and Big Fred would concur.

Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and just about every swinging dick in the current administration view things quite the opposite. They are unworthy of command, unworthy of the leadership positions they so rapaciously seek. As Hillary's statement perfectly shows they want the benefits of responsibility but none of the responsibility. 

Harry Truman famously said "The buck stops here" and I'll take that over "What difference does it make?" any damned day of the week!

You wouldn't appear to be all that "progressive" Mr. Hammer...

As much as I abhor our current President, and oh how I do, this woman elicits in me a level of detestation of which I am actually ashamed.

I am in awe of the level to which HRC has been inserted into our lives BUT I hope we have seen the last of her as an elected official....

I fear, however, that because she is a woman she will garner not only the usual votes on the left but in a fervor of irrational curiosity and artificial comity will scrape away sympathy votes from the center and even the right simply because the uninformed want to be part of her effort to become the first woman president. I hope my fears are not realized.

Isn't it like, "I am the guy who is tasked to post a Big Fat Free For All Friday post on the last work day of the week BUT sometimes I am just too lazy to get my bloated carcass out of the rack in order to do it"?
