2. That's kind of a bitch isn't it?
I still don't see why we don't want to look backwards.

3. Meanwhile, Leura Canary is still DoJ and Don Siegelman continues to get the royal ske-rew.
But Justice comes in second when you have whistleblowers to destroy, like the guy who ratted out the rich tax cheats offshoring their billions.

And Karl Rove and Porter Goss run free.

Something's not right.

5. This is the worst AG ever and Obama is going to have a permanent
stain for all this shit. If edwards broke the law, prosecute him but put him in the queue behind the others. Oh wait. President Carebear said we were only going to 'reflect' and shit over the murder and stuff.

6. I not sure about any of that.
But here is how I think about it. If someone is harassing you support better ideas and concepts.

Then some people that can't get to you, will find themselves attacking better ideas, becuase they are backwards.

I don't know if they are really attacking peace movements, or behind the censorship, or even if the news is accurate. And I like to think they want better justice and there are many things from other administrations still in the information and justice systems.

But :shrug:

find the beautiful stuff, and if they want to attack you by attacking what you see as beautiful, that it is there choice. They might see it as a nightmare for that reason.

Jedi's are never offensive, but they defend in ways stronger then you can imagine.

7. Holder defended Drummond Coal in Colombia over funding para-military
actions that killed Unionists and "Indians" to enhance the profits of a private American corporation.

Holder was an unacceptable appointment by what I at least consider the basic tenets of the Democratic Party and human morality.

The selective prosecutions by POTUS Obama's DOJ and the unusual retention of GOP appointee federal prosecutors blows my mind regards to the integrity and reality of our governemnt supposedly based on freedom, equality, democracy, transparency, and justice.

Holder's take on Seigleman is obvious because of Holder's past with Drummond Coal and the political shithole that is Alabama (there are beautiful environemnt and some wonderful people in AL).

Likewise, I am disappointed, surprised, and appalled about what should be a non-issue of medical marijuana (or anti-marijuana laws and enforcement in general).

The POTUS lied and is a hypocrite about the drug marijuana that is nothing more or less than a garden herb in a sane and just society. Enforcement of marijuana laws is a waste of Federal $, irrational, and needlessly hurts lives. If the same standards were applied to alchohol and tobacco, the "nanny" state would save and improve more lives.

Pot prohibition is no more than a social screen to label and harm individuals. The criminality would disappear with legalization without regulation, an abundent garden herb freely shared among friends.

16. and how do you classify the baby mama?
Labeling him as a terrorist is over the top, don't you think? The baby mama seemed to be a stalker, and he's dumb enough to fall for her shit.

Terrorist? nah. Dumbass -- oh you betcha...

9. You are so right.
Holder overturned Ted Stevens' conviction as well as the convictions of at least two others of Alaska's "Corrupt Bastards Club."

Not to mention the fact that they haven't even thought about prosecuting the Bush administration war criminals.

11. DoJ has also gone after the financial manipulators whose reckless gambling led to economic crisis.
Or, at least, it's gone after us online poker players. That's sort of... well, in a way... oh, forget it.
