"and if that means one of us is a slimebucket, we do not rationalize it or justify it with the observation that there are bigger and more systematic corruption on the other side."
You can't be serious. Have you read the threads here about Speaker Pelosi claiming the CIA is lying? Have you not seen the discussions derailed by, "Why don't you stop worrying about (insert D here), and take a look at (insert R here)?" (Or the other way around)
Have you seen the number of defenses of President Obama that mention President Bush as a defense, rather than letting President Obama's merits stand on their own? The same with President Bush/President Clinton.
Please don't act like either side can take the high road on this one.

I remember on election day watching these Black Panthers on the news. I was horrified. All I could think was what other countries must be thinking of our election process. By allowing these charges to be dropped we have shown that we are not much better than other countries that subject voters to intimidation. I guess this is Obama's way of showing that we are a pretty bad country and must be apologized for. Seems he is bent on taking us down to the level of some of his buddies instead of showing us as a country that strives to be better. |

What I heard was that the Obama administration was spinning this by saying that the military was wrong because they sent Zelaya off in the middle of the night and did not just arrest him. Honduras has a constitution which was violated. Zelaya full well knew what he was doing and went ahead anyway. Why Obama felt that he should be involved in this is anyone's guess. If their government felt that sending him away rather than just arresting him was the best thing to do that was their decision, not ours. The government one way or the other should have been taken over as that is what the constitution calls for. I guess Obama does not understand anyone actually respecting their constitution.
Now I am sure some here will want to know where I heard this but unfortunately I was driving and just heard someone on the radio make this statement. I cannot give a totally accurate report but that is the jest of what I heard. |

I second the Plumber...whatever you say...and really, take off the RCG's would you?
I find it hard to believe you don't know the Black Panther case. It was national news AND made these very blogs. The case was dropped because they are the COWboy President's homeboys. What those men did was against the voting rights act. Period. Could not have been anymore blatant.
You're just another hypocrite in the cesspool of pied piper followers.
As for Honduras and you thinking it's not a big deal...Zelaya just decided he wasn't going to have an election and was removed from office because the Constitution of that Country allowed it...yet Obama supports him? And does not support the freedom seekers in Iran? |

It's guys like him that will destroy obama .
Pat Lib ,the military did not take over the honduran goverment,they acted upon a request from their supreme court and legislature and removed a threat to their democracy . they returned their goverment to the legislative branch and are preparing for early elections . |

cannot help that. it seems that one can drive a truck between what you think you see and what is really there. bye. |

black panthers: don't know the case. do know that lawyers do not bat 1.000.
nationalizing industries: no principle stands alone to men who lead by principle. important precepts may be in conflict (rights of creditors, rights of employees, even national interest) and a principled man finds a rational and consistent way to resolve them. even property rights must be reconciled--to save free-enterprise itself, no less. there is a difference between lawlessness and not liking policy and calling it "lawless." lawlessness is waterboarding, for instance. not liking policy and calling it lawless is taking steps to protect our economy and enable it to transition through this tough interval and back to a burgeoning, private-sector fueled animal.
from where i sit, the Honduras situation is not entirely clear relative to the law. are you saying military takeover of government was lawful? that's just stupid talk. it may be necessary. maybe it wasn't. but to cite that as an example of Obama Admin lawless is just stupid.
okay, gotta go. work calls. |

As I have said I have yet to see any principles with this administration. I see no standards whatsoever. Lots of payback nothing more. |
|
better to build standards on low and sturdy ground than up in the sky where they shift and flux according to emotion.
the rest of you: this is really important stuff. how to lead a principled life. how to avoid lawlessness. it is not obvious. it is not easy.
i am running short on time, but i would say this: it is better to set lower standards for others and higher standards for yourself than the other way around. |
|
"nlike you clowns, we are not lawless. we do not apply principles to our emotions. rather, we lead with our principles"
This statement explains a lot. As the dems are very short on priniciples there is not much leading going on. |

Care to explain why Obama's DOJ dropped the charges against the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation? Even when the other side had defaulted and the case was handed to them on a silver platter? Why the DOJ filed a voluntary dismissal? Care to explain which law that honors?
Also, care to tell us wherein the Constitution it says that Obama can take over private property such as car companies and banks, ignore the bankruptcy laws by putting the unions ahead of secured creditors? Care to explain how that is honoring the rule of law?
Care to explain how Obama is supporting the deposed dictator of Honduras who was ordered to be removed by the Honduran Supreme Court? Why Obama is pressuring Honduras to take him back with no conditions?
I could go on and on. But, go ahead explain ALL of these. I'm waiting. |

I guess you don't read Monkey Girl's posts now do you???
Liberals get away with every crime under the sun due to their peers and supporters circling the wagons and defending their mostly illegal, immoral, and indecent deeds. Seldom do you hear calls for their resignation amongst themselves.
Go sell that horse crap somewhere else... |

"The Obama Justice Department respects--in a fundamental and unambiguous way--the rule of law."
Wow. You really said that. I think you must believe it to.
And you are lawless. The law doesn't apply to your man Murtha. He gets away with the same monkey shines year after year after year.
If he were an R he would be hounded and pounded by the MSM and run out of town in about 5 minutes. It would be a movie of the week by now.
But decades later we still have Murtha.
So it's true. Steelers fans elect Murtha so they must be pretty stupid.

and if that means one of us is a slimebucket, we do not rationalize it or justify it with the observation that there are bigger and more systematic corruption on the other side.
Then tell us how you feel about these slimebuckets: kennedy pelosi dodd frank burris boxer rangle durbin waters feinstein jefferson. |

unlike you clowns, we are not lawless. we do not apply principles to our emotions. rather, we lead with our principles. and if that means one of us is a slimebucket, we do not rationalize it or justify it with the observation that there are bigger and more systematic corruption on the other side.
there is no rogue Justice Department. That was the Bush Admin. The Obama Justice Department respects--in a fundamental and unambiguous way--the rule of law. |

The commies better get their Dept of Justice under control. Can't have Party members embarrassed, donchaknow? |
|

Like all the debauched, degenerate members of his party, he will walk. And pat.Lib..I don't honor him for his service, many of the Marines who post here refer to him as an EX Marine which is the ultimate insult from them. He's not worthy to be called a Marine, not when he lied about our young Marines who were railroaded in Haditha..Remember he called them murderers before they'd ever been to trial. He's about as worthy as the camel dung they stepped in in Iraq. |

The Momo is grabbing all that he can with Pelosi's approval. The entire Demcratic congress make me ill. Nobody will investigate or proscute them total discusting lay right on that other momo in the white house. |
|
In Washington, that is.
"The Obama administration quietly announced last week that as much as $16.1 million from the stimulus program is going to save the San Francisco Bay area habitat of, among other things, the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse."

Pelosi makes off with a sack of money for her pet projects. |
