I’m certain that only a partisan hack would decide how corrupt and unethical she was being based on who appointed her. Luckily most FDLers are far beyond that level pathetic hypocrisy though(?).

I support Biden for president in 2016, and I hope you all will too.

Along with that, I support the Obama regime and admire the corporate police state that he’s implemented. I feel a lot safer because of it. In fact, I recently became a political activist and now support the local Democratic Party with time and money. I have bought a new wardrobe full of brown shirts to wear to all the official Party functions and I tell everyone I meet that the Obama regime is fantastic and that people who worry about things like “justice” and “freedom” (thankfully there are almost none of them on the left anymore) should be turned in. I’ve been meeting a lot of cool people because of all this new activism, and I feel like I’m doing something really useful with my life.

As for leverage? Why Obama and Biden are already doing just about everything the left wants. Or maybe they could support gay marriage or something more forcefully? Well then, I’ll be sure to bring that up at the next Party meeting: the left wants Obama to support gays more. It’s an easy issue that no one in power really gives a crap about anyway, so it should be no trouble to bring up.

Uh, but in order for the FBI to catch real actual terrorists they’d have be somewhat competent and at least a little non-corrupt. It’s so much easier to round up a couple of hapless, mentally-ill/retarded half-wits, give them a box of sawdust with a fuse taped to the top, then parade them before the media as evidence of how good of a job the FBI does at catching those scary terrorists.

“However, the Department does not have much zeal at all when it comes after going after criminals in government who authorize and engage in torture, a war crime, and attempt to cover up their involvement by destroying evidence.”

And I believe that in a just society every government criminal would be chased down and prosecuted, even the very top one. But I have given up the illusion that we live in a just society–I mean, you can’t expect justice in a banana republic.

Well, considering that Stockton was offering any city employee there who worked for the city for at least one month plus a dependent free healthcare for life… Naw, I don’t feel bad that these guys are getting wiped out.

These public workers were thinking that they had an easy ticket to escape from the reality that the rest of us peasants have to deal with and they just got a reality check. Of course, we are all getting screwed. But protecting one class of workers at the expense of everyone else isn’t the way to fix that issue.

I view less tyranny as a good thing. I don’t really understand why so many people are in favor of giving a corrupt and overbearing government even more power than it already has. It’s really beyond me.

No rule of law. No legitimacy. Society is become increasingly fragile, and the next time a major crisis happens the people just won’t have any inclination to pull the asses of the elites out of the fire.

Rome didn’t fall when the barbarians arrived at the gates; it fell when the citizens welcomed them inside.

You know Pam, I’d be a lot more impressed with Obama if he issued an historic brief promising not to slaughter American citizens with drones (on American soil–he’s already slaughtered American citizens, including a 16 year old American citizen, outside of American soil so that is a lost cause already). Which for some strange reason he will not do.

So, let’s just imagine a predator drone flying over a newlywed happy gay couple and disposing of them extra judicially. Or maybe they won’t be slaughtered. Maybe instead they’ll be picked up and deposited in Guantanimo Bay, where they can consummate their nuptials in between torture sessions–simply on suspicion alone that they are “militants”, as Obama has claimed he has the right to do already.

I mean, seriously Pam–where the hell are your priorities? You’re making a big deal out of a dog bone when there’s a monster hiding behind the bush getting ready to eat you.
