Worse for them than us, because they did this! The blood will be on their hands.

Nah, they'll just turn their faces around --again-- and blame us. It's all our fault, permanently, because we are the Main Enemy.

Obama's successor will want the power arbitrarily to imprison people like Rush Limbaugh, and even execute them; and these people will want to give it to him "because it's the Right Thing to Do".

Marxists are never concerned about the powers they complained that Bush was taking, as long as those powers are in their hands. To them, as with Obama, there is no internal contradiction in their minds when it comes to complaining about something someone is doing, and then doing that same thing themeselves. It was not the powers Bush was exercising that the Marxists didn’t trust, they didn’t trust Bush with them. Now that their political Messiah is in office, those same powers are fine in his hands.

No contradictions, juts politics.

I heard that justification clearly from a Leftist family friend some years ago. I was listing the many ways that Chavez in Venezuela was accumulating dictatorial powers, and my friend answered point blank, no emotion, no sarcasm, no defensive posture, totally deadpan serious - “well at least he’s a socialist”.

That’s the justification and that’s all the media needs as well. “It’s not a big deal ‘cause he’s one of us.”
