Has a lifetime in academia turned you into a total idiot ?
Didn't you ever watch mission impossible ?
The deal for the cushy title, is you get the job done . Period.
And if things go wrong no one knows anything about you.

When did you become an apologist for government wet work on US soil? News flash, you haven't won the election yet. Who do you think is going to be first in line for this, "Hey, the feds can do what they want attitude you've suddenly developed? Don't come crying to me when Holder decides to 'get a rope' "Mr. President".

Cute. Tell me where I'm wrong though. Do you want someone with a badge (a licence to kill) making these sorts of calls, or obeying the laws that protect us from the state?

This must be my lucky day!

Ahhhh, hell. The courtious thing to do is to let a newbie take a swing at that softball.

And you call me a faux libertarian? Two words, Ruby Ridge. How about Waco? Or another thousand or so that don't go beyond the local papers? Not saying that the power shouln't be there, just that it should be kept on a tight leash. As far as newbies taking a swing? I'll be their Huckleberry.

Shackled by your ethics your more likely to be their b!*ch than their Huckleberry.    

My ethics are, What's good for me and mine is good and the rest can KMA.
Why do you think I plan to put the entire congress in jail and suspend the Constitution ?
So I can get things fixed so meat heads like FQ, or even a Maxine Waters or Barney Frank can't screw them up again.

Like Himmler or Roehm? Look, Tom, no BS and zero snark. We are a Constitutional Republic. We don't take an oath to a president, a party or even a flag. We take one to a constitution. You either keep it or you don't. You may find virtue in someone's loyalty to a superior who violates it. Me, I see a traitor. You keep your oath, resign your position, or are condemned.Period, full stop.
FQ13 who again isn't backing down on this one.

You never pledged allegience to the flag? I did. I bet TomB did too.

Many times.

I have to agree with Quaker's main point here (). Allegiance to the constitution is sacrosanct. It goes above loyalty to any commander or politician. Of course I'm talking about those who take an oath to uphold the constitution.

When I was much younger, I thought Iran-Contra was no big deal- we were trying to overthrow a communist regime in Central America. But after seeing what has happened since, I have come to believe the methods used was a mistake.

As an aside I know Oliver North is a hero to conservatives, but let's not forget he participated in planning for a martial law take over of our government in case of a national emergency in the 1980's. This was raised in the hearings but was squelched because it was classified. 

And I have to agree with Quaker when says we have to be consistent about following the constitution. We can not be for ignoring it when it suits our aims but insist that our opponents/enemies adhere to every word as some sort of cynical political game....

I'm sorry, but when it comes to the constitution and our founding fathers, I must become an EXTREMIST! This is the word of the people, that and the BoR are the SUPREME LAW of the LAND!

If ya find another writing that ya think makes it better, READ THE CONSTITUTION and the BoR! NOTHING explains it more simple than THAT!
