1. The caller has it right.

We were there. We lived it.

2. We have had a class of people, which has grown in size in recent years, that are above the law.

No one will prosecute politicians or political operatives for their crimes against the citizens of the country. The other big group are the big political donors like Wall Street execs, Koch brothers and their ilk. This has emboldened them to go farther in their criminal enterprises. Rove is a mad man! There is no bar he would not ooze under. Framing a Democratic governor, massive voter fraud by changing the vote reporting totals through the use of a "King" computer, then having the IT guy murdered right before he was to give testimony. The mass media barely reported this whole sordid mess and it doesn't appear much energy was expended trying to connect the dots.

There have been a lot of moments where these crooked, slimy bastards could have been stopped if someone powerful had stood up and done the right thing. It takes a special brand of courage which seems to be lacking in the circles these powerful bastards run in!
