“Stand by the roads, and look,
and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way is; and walk in it,
and find rest for your souls.”

But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

Actually it was more of an MSM thing.

When all else fails, we shall invoke Rule-7.62!

31. We are truly ruled by Fools!

Comment by askeptic (b8ab92) — 2/6/2013 @ 11:46 am

Yeah, but somebody keeps voting for them.

Actually, I don’t think our rulers are fools. They just act that way to get votes. Because if they were fools…

•Do you believe the People should set any limitations whatsoever on the ability of politicians to pass laws that affect the individual?

Yes its called the ballot box.

…they wouldn’t have figured out the work-around for this little obstacle. Which is no longer an obstacle.

The Librarian of Congress decided In October of 2012, that personally unlocking phones would no longer be allowed.

Who’s going to vote out the Librarian of Congress? Maybe I missed something, but I don’t recall voting him or her in. And now the Librarian of Congress is decreeing new felonies.

The EPA operates on the principle that crucifying businesses is the best way to encourage compliance. It’s bad form to actually come out and say it. Which is probably why “Richard Windsor” didn’t use her own official email account to say what was really on her mind.

Delegation. That’s the key. The pols don’t really want to have a record that would expose them to accountability (Just ask President “I vote Present”). Now when gub’mint health care starts to screw up aspects of your life you never dreamed of, they can point to the director of HHS and claim it’s not their fault.

And then they’ll have to chutzpah to ask you to send them back to DC so they can fix things!

And people will. And you know what? It really doesn’t matter. They’ve placed Leviathan on autopilot.

Feds defend Department of Education raid on a home

The Department of Education has somehow, probably about the time I missed the fact that the Librarian of Congress can decree things into law, been empowered to raid people’s houses.

You can vote the pols out of office. That’ll just give them a bit of a break that they can spend banging teenaged Dominican hookers at a five star beach resort. Then they’ll probably take a job working for the unaccountable monstrosity they created.

Where they can continue treating the entire country like an under aged third world prostitute.

Now, they want to kill it.

57. My take: it doesn’t matter what the law is…

Comment by scrubone (e7e0ea) — 2/6/2013 @ 4:47 pm

That’s the David Gregory position on possessing large capacity magazines in Washington DC.

Or the Bob Menendez position on indulging in under-aged teenaged prostitutes in the Caribbean.

And now our President’s position on killing US citizens.
