"The difference between the political left and right is that the left believe that the end justifies the mean."

The political left will do what they have to, even violate the law to get the end result they want. As Rush Limbaugh pointed out during the Valerie Plame scam:

The judge is a rabid dog. There is no reasoning with him.

If I am from Manhattan I’d be worried that America equates the Rabid Dog Judge to me. This judge has made me very weary of ever visiting NYC. They are insane. Why else would citizens put up with such insane leadership from every branch of government?
