    The warrant application also said Rosen was a co-conspirator in, "the bombings". I think this was a recycled application that was not actually read by Holder, or the Judge. Both should be disbarred for malpractice.

    FTFY. Obama is solidly liberal on health care, immigration, environment, gay rights (well, now at least), abortion, race, political speech (e.g. Citizen's United decision), spending, taxes, macroeconomics (stimulus, son of stimulus, QE 2 and 3, etc.), scope of government, gun rights, and most foreign affairs (his views on Israel and UN, and his entire "foreign policy reset" was based on liberal conventional wisdom).

    Obama is solidly leftish-authoritarian on these issues. Or perhaps you could say Liberal. But he is almost exactly the opposite of liberal on these issues.

    Sure, just crap on Fox news. That's a great way to avoid having to defend the administration.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

    Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Catholic.

    Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.

    Look at you. Above the fray, criticizing both Obama and Bush. Bush never did anything like this. You can't take your vote for Obama back, so when confronted with an undeniable scandal you make sure to always mention the predecessor in the same breath. You took sides when you voted. It's your bed. Sleep in it. Own it.
