The Inconsistencies and Hypocrisy...

Liberty -vs- Tyranny
















Okay, call me confused, or whatever the F anyone would like to characterize me. It really doesn't matter. You see, the the right is full of sh*t and the left is even more full of sh*t.. To which I have determined to say... SO WHAT.

It's a game people. And the name of the game is who who will gain the upper hand and ultimately have control  of the people. It is sickening, it is unethical, it is immoral, it is life sapping, it is irrational, and it is contrary to the principals this nation was founded on.

To which the MODERN day democratic party, as well as the republican party respond by saying... So What? Both parties feel they must force acceptance of their statist anti individual and anti liberty agendas on the people.

What is interesting,  putting all the hyperbole aside is this... Our country will continue to accept the same old BS from both parties,  IE: the blind, deaf, and dumb leading the same.

Wake up people, shake the cobwebs from your weary heads. The power structure of both parties really couldn't give a proverbial sh*t less about your concerns. Remember... It's all about power and control.

The following article from The Hill galvanized and motivated this post.

You be the judge my fine readership. However, it is my humble opinion that until such time as Obama, and members of the prior administration stop dwelling in the past {and acting with hypocrisy} our wheels for the foreseeable future will continue to spin in the same direction, and the BS from said spin will do this country continuing damage.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney applauded the U.S. drone strike that killed American-born al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki but added that President Obama now owed the Bush administration an apology for claiming they “overreacted to 9/11.”

Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, Cheney said Obama was inconsistent for criticizing the former administration’s approach to terrorism while also using “some of the same techniques the Bush administration did.”

“We developed the technique and the technology for it,” said Cheney of the drone strike that killed Awlaki.

Cheney took particular issue with the administration’s reluctance to describe the fight against al Qaeda as a “war” and Obama’s 2009 speech in Cairo where he walked back from many Bush administration policies.

“The thing I'm waiting for is for the administration to go back and correct something they said two years ago when they criticized us for 'overreacting' to the events of 9/11,” said Cheney. “They, in effect, said that we had walked away from our ideals, or taken policies contrary to our ideals when we had enhanced interrogation techniques.”
“Now they clearly had moved in the direction of taking robust action when they feel it is justified. I say in this case I think it was, but I think they need to go back and reconsider what the president said when he was in Cairo,” he added.

"If you've got the president of the United States out there saying we overreacted to 9/11 on our watch, that's not good," said Cheney.

When asked by CNN host Candy Crowley if Cheney expected an apology from the president, the former vice president said, “Well, I would. I think that would be not for me, but I think for the Bush administration, and that he misspoke when he gave that speech in Cairo two years ago.” {Continue Reading}

It's time to give it up people. Lets start focusing on a rational AND consistent philosophy of government as well as a ethical and moral national and foreign policy.

Perhaps it is too much to ask of this aging nation...

I sincerely hope not.
