It is interesting to see that the same factions that supported Hitler even while the bombs were falling on Berlin can still be present today.
I can point to multiple posts of mine taking Dems to task for breaking the law, and refusing to uphold the law.

You are a typical tribal partisan that can't produce a single instance where you criticized the Bush Admin for their law breaking.

So you can stop pretending. Anybody who's been in this forum knows you're a one trick pony.

I love watching anyone who backed these politicians nervously explain away all of their actions, even when there is no rational explanation to give. Obama is nothing more than another corporate shill, and buying votes with handouts. Gonna get me some o'dat Obama money!

I guess people who gleefully suffer from delusions of ignorance are would-be experts on delusional psychology, huh? Ignorance is not only not knowing, but also includes not wanting to know.

The moral of the story is "be careful how you portray a world laughing, because they might be laughing at you".

The smirk of the clown...yes, they laugh to take the seriousness off of things, so they can hide behind a mask. They are laughing at us, the American taxpayer, all the way to the bank.

They all wear masks, and we don't elect anyone anymore. What a huge mess this has become and Thomas Jefferson warned us about this.

Someone once said that great civilizations only last a few hundred years, so that puts us near the mark.

A Very interesting article with a couple of videos that you should watch. It covers several reasons for this possibility including the debt ceiling, DOMA, Libya, refusing to enforce border laws and I can now add the Gunrunner - Fast and Furious lies.
GOOD!!!!!! That SOB needs to be stopped!

Where the H*LL are the Liberals that accused Bush of doing this why the Silence

He should be kicked out of office, not only impeached.

There are a few thousand books in the library nearest you that you should read. I'll skip the biased videos. Oddly, I bet you weren't all that bothered when W/Cheney were doing their best to expand presidential powers. Of course, you'd have to own up to your own BS in that case.

Yup, and if McCain were in office and doing the same things then you'd be talking about how great they were.

Damn, partisans are annoying.

Are you honestly claiming to be non-partisan? Your posts certainly do nothing to support that claim.

Hahahha. This after we just finished with a president that got the U.S. into a war under false pretenses; used Assistant Attorney Generals as a political tool to falsely prosecute Democrats; violated the law in hiring Assistant Attorney Generals; used public money to run partisan TV ads; funneled money to newspaper columnists so they would write favorable opinion pieces and the list goes on.

The high unemployment is a result of conservative policies. Why is unemployment remaining high? Because growth is weak and the stimulus, which should have been twice a large was reduced in size and converted to 40% tax-cuts to appease conservative Senators who wouldn't vote for it otherwise. remember, the bottom sell out of the economy under the most conservative president since the early 20th century.

I hope they try to impeach Obama. The right wing Tea Party tools are so lacking in crebility and common sense, they might as well make it obvious. Then we could flush the whole bunch in 2012.

Whatever happened to moderate, reasoning Republicans? People who can actually govern? This is a bunch of wackjobs.

Ain't gonna happen. They can't even stop the unauthorized bombing in Libya.
Talk is cheap and there's lots of cheap talk coming out of DC these days with little to NO action.
