    Because this administration so sickeningly pretends to be so virtuous and so conscientious while manifesting the same evils as the ones before it.

    I get that. But they all get the same criticism from the unfans.

    I'm not wild about Obama. But the Republicans blew their chance to do the same.

    Why is this always about "the Republicans"?
    The party in power right now is fucking shit up royally!
    With a water-carrying media and an electorate too stupid to hold them accountable.

    It's to keep the flame wars balanced.

    And because neither party is without blame for where we are today.

    Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-Tenn.) reprimanded for Pitino-ing it up with some of his patients, persuading one to get an abortion. Also once threatened his ex-wife with a gun.

    Fined a whole 500 bucks. The ardent pro-life advocate says God has forgiven him and therefore he doesn't know what the fuck your problem is.

    NBC reporting Eric Holder approved the Fox email seizures...that's right, a high-ranking member of the Obama Administration.

    The chips are starting to fall. Obama has to be shitting his pants by now.

    Except for that little fact that it was legal.

    Yep...100% legal. Ethical, who cares, right? It is legal for the administration to criminalize journalism. In your eyes, since the party you cheerlead for is in power, you are all for it, huh?

    And the Administration is being so forthcoming because it did nothing illegal, right?

    Let's get this straight...seizing emails and phone records of a journalist's cell phone, home phone, parent's phone and work phone is perfectly fine with Baron. He sees nothing wrong with it because it isn't "illegal." Baron does not think much of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, apparently. He sees James Rosen of Fox News as a possible co-conspirator in violations of the Espionage Act, simply for developing sources within the government.

    If you are like Baron, it doesn't matter that this is America and James Rosen was doing his job. Baron is a true Patriot (hope he doesn't get audited for me saying that).

    If Obama shit in Baron's hands he'd call it chocolate truffles.
