Issa escalates 'Furious' war

Issa, after stumbling on FOX the other day, rectifies the situation.

Rep. Darrell Issa escalated the legal war over Fast and Furious, directly accusing President Barack Obama of either abusing his power by withholding information or having his aides conspire with Justice Department officials to manage the aftermath of the failed ATF gun-walking program.

In a letter to Obama to be released Tuesday morning, the California Republican and chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee charged: “Either you or your most senior advisors were involved in managing Operation Fast & Furious and the fallout from it…or, you are asserting a presidential power that you know to be unjustified solely for the purpose of further obstructing a congressional investigation.

You see there are these people that call themselves Democrats, who have absolutely nothing in common with the JFK Democratic party but have seized control of that party. They are in fact Marxists and nothing but nothing, happens without their say so. They also control the media and therefore the information and "news" to about the 95% level which means they can manipulate any story to benefit the Marxists cause, which they claim isn't Marxist at all but mainstream American values.

Then there's this bunch called Republicans who somehow never seem to be capable of offering the least bit of resistance to the Democrats (Marxists) and soil their pampers repeatedly at the thought they might have to. The rest of the Republicans can't understand why they keep getting weak and non-contentious candidates to vote for (except that Romney might turn out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, wouldn't that be a hoot?!) and then realize that the "leadership" is now pretty much in favour of the Democrat's (Marxists) activities, just not as aggressively. They then wonder if the same takeover that happened to the Democrats, isn't happening within the Republican party leadership. Obviously, it has.

Answer? Third party! No, not quite because they (Marxists) are left in the controlling position because they've made sure that it works out that way.

Answers? Just two options of which everyone concerned are aware. Retake the Republican party leadership positions within the party and beat the piss out of the media every day or, civil war. Or there is that third option of surrender. But if you take it you are condemning your children and grandchildren to slavery.

The word "slavery" will promptly be redefined as "freedom" by those seeking to implement it. The Marxists.

It's what they do and this is how they do it. If you have doubts, you need only look briefly at Europe. The model is Soviet and so are the methods.; June 26, 2012 at 11:48 AM

Anonymous said...: The assertion by White House spokesman Eric Schultz that..."The Courts have routinely considered deliberative process privilege claims and affirmed the right of the executive branch to invoke [executive] privilege even when White House documents are not involved” has been analyzed and rejected by Attorney John H. Hinderaker (who helped to expose the Rathergate fraud).

Quoting the USSC Espy decision:

The deliberative process privilege is a qualified privilege and can be overcome by a sufficient showing of need. … For example, where there is reason to believe the documents sought may shed light on government misconduct, ‘the privilege is routinely denied,’ on the grounds that shielding internal government deliberations in this context does not serve ‘the public’s interest in honest, effective government.’”

In the war of words between Issa and BHO, the White House is shooting blanks. ;^)

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
