45. Ya see, here's the thing......
...many of us have been roundly criticized and mocked for holding Obama to the high standards that the Office of the Presidency requires. Were such behavior carried-out in the Bush WH, it would have been and was regularly and roundly pointed out and critiqued here. But now it seems that with an even worse abridgement of those standards and of our rights they are now to be overlooked. The closing of the ranks and all that. Those of us who have the temerity to point this double-standard out, will quickly have their "Democratic" bone fides questioned.

I'm sorry, but this isn't about a political party, nor is it about Obama. And if anyone can't see this, then I have no use for them whatsoever. It is just this sort of cult of personality worship that has lead to the establishment of authoritarian regimes in the past. I see no difference now. I believe some think that the establishment of a police state here in America is not possible.

- They would be wrong, it's already here......
