The sad part is the citizens of our land have become sheep, and are force fed the garbage that passes for news by the MSM.
Eric Holder, Chris Dodd, Charlie Rangel, all are perfect examples of the political elite doing whatever they want, and because of their political party, they pay no consequnces. You could add Barney Frank, Harry reid, Nancy Pelosi into the mix as well.
What Hanson is saying is that Democrats are allowed to steal as long as it is done politically correct.
So here we are with a full page of crooks in and out of government and some soon to be named to high positions in our government - what can we do? It appears, nothing.
Our Constitution has been tossed aside not only regarding Obama but Clinton’s appointment as SecState and our government is taking equity positions in private companies - that is not permitted under our Constitution.
Goldman’s stock is not nearly worthless. It is $66 a share! LOL. Ooops!
We live in a culture with a dangerous new social meme:
innocent until proven Republican
We need to awaken to the gravity of the ideological perversions that are taking hold in our society. Justice is being corrupted into an ideological litmus test.
The wealthy have learned the new lesson and now the super rich are increasingly “liberal” because they know it insulates them from prosecution in all abuses.
exalted ends at times necessarily entail regrettable means
That’s putting it mildly.
The goal of the ‘progressives’ is to destroy the opposition with their own values.
Unfortunately, 52% of the electorate gets its views from the likes of Jon Stewart and David Letterman, not from the likes of Plutarch.
While they keep buying the meme that the Republican party is for the “rich” and Wall Street, it is the Democrats who get are getting money from the rich and Wall street. Most folks have it exactly backwards. Fuld: gave to Dems. Rubin: IS a Dem. Citibank, Lehman, Freddie/Fannie, etc. Follow the money. Those getting bailed out gave the most to Dems. For this reason, bet on the Big 3 to get bailed out.
The MSM watchdog went to sleep when THEIR infractions were committed.
BTT
“In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy.”
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right. The obvious, the silly, and the true had got to be defended. Truisms are true, hold onto that! The solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall toward the earth’s center. With the feeling that he was … setting forth an important axiom, he wrote:
“’Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.’”

Corruption in a democracy is a cancer. We have a completely corrupt Party and its lapdog media.

Bump for later reading.
You could also add Obama, #2 recipient of Fannie funds. Why this wasn’t shouted from the rooftops after the financial meltdown, I will never understand.
