No Whining!

"All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting." ~ George Orwell
"Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." ~ George Orwell

Who is to blame? Who cares any more? Anyone and Everyone who has been paying attention in the last several months knows that the Executive Branch of our government had plenty of time to get warrants even after the wiretapping started. However, they did not, period. The issue is not whether or not that they did it, we know they did; the issue is why didn't they follow through? It is because they thought none of us would care. They have us so brain-washed into believing that we are "at war with terror" that any thing they do is acceptable.

Yet if another administration was involved in the same tactics as this administration, the pundits that so whole-heartedly support this one would not only be outraged, but would be involved in a full scale impeachment process. So if this executive was only sleeping with the help and lying about it, not just having thousands of young American men and women killed in a foreign land, we could impeach him then. What constitutes an impeachable offense? A small sexual act, or a large one?

Libertarians whine about the Constitution not providing for taxes, yet they fail to read the document they claim to be upholding. The US Constitution allows Congress to enact taxes to support all forms of things. They just don't want to be the ones to pay those taxes.

Whine on, whine on, because the precedents you create now will come back to haunt you in case of a CHANGE!!

Closet, free-will progressives will revolt at the polls, slowly at first, locally, then at state level and eventually at a national level. The history of American politics is full of examples.

"The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink." ~ George Orwell
