  1. Excellent article by Turley:

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2013/03/25/nixon-has-won-watergate/2019443/

    Constitutional lawyer Jonathan Turley: "Obama has not only openly asserted powers that were the grounds for Nixon's impeachment, but he has made many love him for it. More than any figure in history, Obama has been a disaster for the U.S. civil liberties movement. By coming out of the Democratic Party and assuming an iconic position, Obama has ripped the movement in half. Many Democrats and progressive activists find themselves unable to oppose Obama for the authoritarian powers he has assumed. It is not simply a case of personality trumping principle; it is a cult of personality."

    Sorry, you're not that important. You're more like the armadillo around here that get in the road when I'm driving. Sometimes I see them and let them pass, other times I just run them down.

    Ok, take a look at just what udder insanity, and outrageous lies rectum posts. I'm not a big fan of Psychologist types, but many have come forward equating trolls with the mentally ill. Rectum should be in a rubber room for OUR personal safety, as well as his.
