we had to destroy the Constitution in order to save it... right???

Attorney General Eric Holder rebutted accusations that he lied to Congress about his Department’s gun smuggling scheme, insisting that he has merely been “misleading” them.
“A lie is when an evil person deliberately twists the truth,” Holder maintained. “However, there are situations in which a person may be forced to twist the truth in order to prevent an evil outcome. Misleading ones enemies for the good of the nation is a higher form of patriotism.”
Holder pointed out that “misleading Congress is one of the milder options that an Administration may use to protect itself. Let’s not forget that President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus, jailed members of a state legislature, and deported a sitting member of Congress in order to save the nation. History has vindicated his usurpations of Constitutional authority. Who’s to say that president Obama should place the petty vanities of today’s Congress ahead of what he regards as his historical mission to transform this country.”
President Obama rallied to the support of his embattled Attorney General, reminding his GOP critics that “under the National Defense Authorization Act, I, as Commander-in-Chief, have broad authority to act against threats as I perceive them. This includes the use of deadly force if needed. Inasmuch as I have already had nearly two dozen of this country’s enemies killed on my orders, my resolve should not be in doubt.”

When did you become a serious journalist?
Eric Holder had the same state of Mind seen in Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy, and their ilk -when they were committing their crimes—and those who defend that perverse lifestyle choice all share the state of mind the Revolutionaries in this administration have made manifest.
This is supposed to be satire. Seems like they do most of your writing for you.

Holder is a Punk POS so it will be hard to write satire on him and his pardon provider the Dali’Bama !

‘“A lie is when an evil person deliberately twists the truth,” Holder maintained. “However, there are situations in which a person may be forced to twist the truth in order to prevent an evil outcome. Misleading ones enemies for the good of the nation is a higher form of patriotism.” ‘
I know this is satire but that’s truly how the left views the world. The cause they support is so righteous in their mind that any action(unethical or not) that helps it succeed is justified. In other words, the ends justify absolutely any and all means.
It may be only days before this piece pales in comparison to some real quotes. Today’s satire writer works under more publication pressure than yesterday’s city desk editor. lol
Ya know, they put Scooter Libby in jail for a LOT less...
Upon reading this line, Ms. Rodham had her office swept for bugs.
(Yes, yes, I know. Leave the sarcasm to J.S.)

Another masterpiece, John. Thanks again for the ping.
Another good one. Thanks for the ping John.
No, actually, I'm pretty sure he did that stuff to SCREW the nation and install a statist national tyranny. He was pretty successful, though, if that helps.
History has vindicated his usurpations of Constitutional authority.
Um no, no it hasn't. Maybe at the public screwl you attended they taught that, but they were probably NEA members, so you can't take any of that stuff as reliable, Eric.
Who’s to say that president Obama should place the petty vanities of today’s Congress ahead of what he regards as his historical mission to transform this country.”
He actually had the audacity to say that? Out loud??? What a self-righteous self-important prick.
The ‘quotes’ in this ‘article’ ARE eerily plausible and quite believable, aren’t they?
This ranks very high on the “Semmens Believability Curve”, which looks very much like an exponential curve, and is described as follows:
As Satire approaches Reality (x-axis),
Believability (y-axis) approaches Infinity.
