"All these things are legal." Is she trying to be ironic, or is she an idiot?
I half expected her to start explaining that slavery, or the internment of Japanese, were "legal", as if using the word "legal" is somehow going to convince people that this is right.
Perhaps the point is - All these things should be made illegal so that anyone who engages in them gets a nice new orange jumpsuit and matching wrist and ankle jewelry ...
Yup. A war to distract and divert attention elewhere. Something to "rally the troops".
Some patriotic sounding "Rah! Rah!" rhetoric. (Hey, shooting people or blowing them up is fine. But using gas?! Whoa! That's NOT an approved way of killing people.)
Then remind everyone that "Sacrifices must be made!" to "insure and protect freedom".
Slice the speeches in somewhere between 'American Idol' and 'Dancing with the Stars' and enjoy a nice bump in the approval polls.

Agreed, what Hitler did was "legal" also. It was the resistance that was declared "criminal." To answer your question, she's an idiot and a shill.

DeleteIt is similar to the movie brave heart, where the Brit explains it is his "right" to rape Wallace's wife.
ReplyDeleteThe government has rights and privileges, but we have obligations and duties. Same old, same old.
ReplyDeleteUnless Snowden has some bombshells waiting to drop, the one's we start dropping in Syria will make everyone forget this in a month.
