A faster and more furious drip, drip, drip......
Two news items of late that should give us all pause to be alarmed at just how badly our federal government has run amok. First, Senator John McCain, who I reluctantly voted for in the 2008 presidential election - perhaps it's more accurate to say I voted against Obama - is back in the news as a co-sponsor of a bill that would effectively nullify the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act which blocks the military from involvement in domestic law enforcement. So, from a McCain perspective, it's ok to arrest someone without warrant, or probable cause, throw them in prison indefinitely with trial, just so long as you don't "torture" them.
This law is a bold and direct challenge to the fundamental principles ensconced in the Constitution of the United States, and a somber warning to us all that there are significant elements of our own government becoming increasing fearful of it's own populace. The Constitutional isn't even worth the parchment it's written on if we the people don't defend it. Ann Coulter was recently 'bleeped' on MSNBC for allegedly referring to McCain as a douchebag. Well, as the architect of another disastrous piece of shit legislation called McCain–Feingold which placed limits on political free speech, and now this...he is indeed a douchebag, and unfit to hold even the office of dog catcher.
The other item in the news today is a report on Fox News detailing the retaliation of the whistle-blowers at ATF over the Fast and Furious debacle, and at the least appearance of rewards for those most directly responsible for the program's operation and management. In addition to Obama shielding those in charge, and punishing those who objected, the loathsome AG Holder has sealed records associated with the murder of the Border Agent killed with one of the guns ATF trafficked to the Mexican drug cartels. Congress gave an opportunity for the scorned tattle-tale agents to tell their stories, while decrying the "illegal" gun running operation - nobody is actually doing anything about the sad-sack situation. If Fast and Furious was "illegal", then where are the prosecutions? The entire Obama administration is in this one up to their chins, and as I have said before, Obama, Holder, and their underlings all have blood on their hands. The blood of a US Border Agent, as well as a unknown number of Mexican nationals who were murdered using guns ATF "illegally" trafficked into Mexico. This mess is impeachable, which is why Democrats simply don't want to go there, and most in the media look the other way
Those who do not water the tree of liberty will garner no shade. If we the people do nothing, then one day in the not too distant future, we will wake up and find that all that so many in the past fought and died to create or preserve, we be lost.
