Mark down the date. Tuesday, April 21, 2009, is the moment that any chance of a new era of bipartisan respect in Washington ended. By inviting the prosecution of Bush officials for their antiterror legal advice, President Obama has injected a poison into our politics that he and the country will live to regret.

President Obama has injected a poison into our politics that he and the country will live to regret.

In a perverse way, this was a good day for America and conservative patriots. This man is disturbed and it is going to hurt America deeply. And he does not even feel it.
He’s going after the lawyers who provided the legal foundation, not the CIA spooks. He intends to destroy the rule of law in the United States, to the benefit of the leftist judiciary who can then totally ignore the vast body of precedent and simply adjudicate based on what they “feel” about a case.
Levin writes extensively about how the left destroys the rule of law and substitutes the rule of man in “Liberty and Tyranny.” If you haven’t read it yet, do so by all means.
...the spectacle of revenge...
A chilling article. We have left civility behind. We are becoming a third world country where “the law is merely an extension of political power.”
I feel like it’s 1977 again. We have Barak “Carter” Obama in the WH really, really screwing things up badly. The question is, is there another Ronald Reagan preparing to become the next Potus? Who might he (or she) be?
These guys just opened a can of worms and its going to come back & bite them right in the a$$. What could they possibly be thinking...that they can start this, and we won’t finish it?
Ha! Just wait until 2010, and then after Zero is voted out. Does Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank, Zero, Tax Cheat, etc...do they think they are going to walk away scott free?
Honey! I’m Home!
In theory. He will paralyze the CIA if he starts down this path.
Suppose he carries a picture of Frank Church in his wallet ?
How in the world did our fortunes become so debased that these political eunuchs are now the examples of our leadership?
This country is going to be hit hard soon.
SO now it's time to put up or shut up and torment this SOB and his whole administration without compromise. I sense a relief in the movement and a feeling of liberation. When Bush and that criminal Paulson instituted TARP we all hated it but didn't call for TEA Parties until now. Now we can have at them. Because he has taken off the mask and is giving us the finger and laughing.
Bad move, Barry

What would you propose?
A march on Washington in July. Tea Party II.
Some have suggested his name is Petraeus.
Homeland Security is now focused on Conservative Americans. We are now the enemy. Its in black and white HS memos. The lawyers who defend the terrorists, literally, now run our government. The men who stopped Al Qaida are now in the cross-hairs of their own governments guns.
What they refuse to see coming (another Al Qaida hit), is going to cause riots in the streets when 90 percent of the people realize that their own government really doesn't give a crap if we lose a thousand or 100 thousand people.
I predict the next Al Qaida hit will be nothing compared to the wrath of Americans that will then know that they have no security. Defenseless people have no choice but to pick up arms and start defending themselves. Its called survival instincts.
A July 4th, we want our country back march would be a great thing. If more people were on the Mall shaking the fences on the elipse, I am sure he’d get the message. The end of the French Court came when the people came to Versailles with torches and pitch forks.
As for public opinion about Obama, you can only have so many weeks in a row where average citizens are scratching their heads with decisions that make you go “Huh?”. Drip. Drip. Drip. The people who run the government (The GS workers), already are shutting down. Now, you have a president with a military that doesn’t respect him, a CIA that will not go the distance for him, and millions of GS workers who will just bide time while the political appointees above them posture and crow.
Things are going to get progressively uglier (like the First Lady on an oversears flight without her beautician).
