He will not rest until Obama invades, rebuilds and forces democracy on Iran, Syria and Libya.

Yes, because we know better than they what really is a just system of governance.
Why, just look at how free of corruption we are:

  1. It's not like police murdering people are routinely given paid vacations while evidence suddenly disappears.
  2. It's not like the FBI, BATFE, ICE, and DEA would enable violence in Mexico by enabling gunrunning.
  3. It's not like the NSA would spy on millions of communications without probable cause, much less a warrant.
  4. It's not like the FBI would kill someone's wife and then taunt him with her death.
  5. It's not like the ATF would murder dozens of innocents, and then destroy evidence while accusing Koresh of pedophilia/child-abuse/polygamy -- as if the accusations invalidated their need to follow the law.
  6. It's not like we have a Supreme Court that spouts off nonsense as rulings like:
    • Wickard, where intrastate commerce falls under interstate regulatory powers.
    • Raich, where non-commerce falls under interstate/intrastate regulatory powers.
    • Schenick, where they said that Congress could regulate speech/print, despite the first amendment.
    • Roe v. Wade, where they made a right to privacy [between a doctor and patient]… which doesn't apparently apply to the NSA… or even doctors and patients (ACA).
    • ACA, where everything's A-ok if we call it a tax.
    • Hollingsworth (prop 8), where they said that CA's own Supreme Court could not certify 'standing'.
    • King, where the supreme court acknowledges the 4th amendment's requirement for a warrant... and then ignores it.
      The Fourth Amendment expressly imposes two requirements: All searches and seizures must be reasonable; and a warrant may not be issued unless probable cause is properly established and the scope of the authorized search is set out with particularity. […] The proper test follows from the principle that permits warrantless searches: warrantless searches are allowed when the circumstances make it reasonable, within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment , to dispense with the warrant requirement.
  7. It's not like we have a president who can virtually ignore the law with impunity.
  8. It's not like we have a supreme court that can rewrite the law with impunity.
  9. It's not like we have a legislature that is so averse to responsibility that it routinely blames the executive branch for the actions carried out by departments created/authorized/funded by that very legislature.
  10. It's not like we have a legislature that writes laws wherein they exclude themselves.
  11. It's not like the political elite will punish you for disagreeing with them politically.
That's just crazy talk.


He is keeping us safe.

Screw that; seriously:
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. — Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin became the most famous American of his time. He helped found a new nation and defined the American character. Writer, inventor, diplomat, businessman, musician, scientist, humorist, civic leader, international celebrity . . . genius!

You can only post that because Obama and McCain are keeping us safe, just like GWB and Hillary did.

So what if you lost a few freedoms? No-one has flown a airliner into your building or house. They take the fight to the terrorists so we don't have to fight here.

Civil liberties are for terrorists. If you are not a terrorist then you are safe without them.

Give John McCain a salute as Sarah told you to do, while you still can. DADADA
