“It was just a prank…”
When someone mentioned this to me yesterday, I thought the guy was pulling my leg- he knows I find his politics just a hair to the right of Stalin- but he was serious.
“It was all a prank, kids goofing around, and it got out of hand…”
So I asked him, if it was a joke, why did Foley resign?
“Oh, because he’s a Republican. When they do wrong, they accept it, and resign. Not like that democrat with money in his freezer.”
Uh huh. This is the mentality that we’re up against. People so blindly partisan that to accept reality would mean giving up the safe little womb of Daddy Love that the GOP has wrapped them in, all “You’re safe because we say so”. It would mean acknowledging that the war has made us less safe, the tax cuts are making us poor, and that the war on terror is actually a war on civil liberties, aimed solely at increasing the power of the executive branch.
And it comes from listening to Ministers of Information such as this:

This person went on to blather that “if the media and the leftists cared as much about stopping terrorism as they did about dirty email, we’d be a safer place now…”. Thankfully they got a phone call and I was able to escape. To him, and all of his “please sir can I have another right taken away to keep me safe from myself” band of moral degenerates I quote this:
When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all</a></i>
