NOT YOUR FATHER'S REPUBLICAN PARTY

The Republican Party has been hijacked.

By a brood of radical elements it is backed.

Radical elements called President Eisenhower a Communist.

For tirades – Out the Republican Party they were tossed.

Republican radical elements are back in full bloom.

Inherited wealth of radical descendants is their boon.

Preaching their previously failed lame idiotocracy.

They attempt to dissemble American Democracy.

The time to guard against corruption and tyranny

is before they shall have gotten hold of us.

It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold,

than to trust to drawing his teeth and talons

after he shall have entered.

THE TRAITOR by Marcus Tullius Cicero:

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2011

THE TRAITOR by Marcus Tullius Cicero:

Marcus Tullius Cicero January 106 BC – 7 December 43 BC;

“A nation can survive its fools,

and even the ambitious.

But it cannot survive treason from within.

An enemy at the gates is less formidable,

for he is known and carries his banner openly.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely,

his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys,

heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor;

he speaks in accents familiar to his victims,

and he wears their face and their arguments,

he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.

He rots the soul of a nation,

he works secretly and unknown in the night

to undermine the pillars of the city,

he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.

A murderer is less to fear.

The traitor is the plague.”

Attorney General Eric Holder indicated in testimony before the U.S. Senate that some Wall Street banks are now above the law.

Michael -- Attorney General Eric Holder indicated in testimony before the U.S. Senate that some Wall Street banks have gotten so big that they are now above the law. He actually said earlier this week: I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if you do prosecute, if you do bring a criminal charge, it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy. This is wrong -- just plain wrong. We are a country that believes in equal justice under the law -- not special deals for the big guys. And that's not all the special deals that the big banks get. According to recent calculations by Bloomberg, the top ten biggest banks receive an $83 billion subsidy every year in the form of lower borrowing costs -- something not available to your community bank or credit union. The markets think that, if things get tough, the government will be there to bail out the big banks again but not the little guys. To put things in perspective -- that $83 billion subsidy is about the same amount of money being fought over in the sequestration. So why are we still debating this issue at all? Isn't it obvious that the "too big to fail" problem still exists and is bad for small banks? Bad for taxpayers? Bad for our economy? Bad for justice? Here's one theory that worries me: maybe people believe that the banks have in fact becometoo big to shrink. They have started to say that we can't cut these banks down to size. I'm not one of them, and neither are colleagues of mine like Sen. Sherrod Brown who have been fighting hard on this issue. We know we can take on the big banks and their army of lobbyists and win because we've done it before. When banks are too big to fail, too big to jail, too big for trial, too big to manage, too big to regulate, too big to shrink, and too big to reform... they are just too big. We're just getting started here. Thank you for being a part of this, Elizabeth

JFK, IKE & MacArthur Warnings About Misplaced Power In U.S.

General Douglas MacArthur

“Talk of imminent threat to our national security

through the application of external force is pure nonsense.

Indeed it is part of the general pattern of misguided policy

that our country is now geared to an arms economy

which was bred in an artificially induced

psychosis of war hysteria

and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.”

President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Farewell address 1/17/1961

"This conjunction of an immense military establishment

and a large arms industry is new in the American experience.

The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual

is felt in every city, every State house,

every office of the Federal government.

We recognize the imperative need for this development.

Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications.

Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved;

so is the very structure of our society."

"In the councils of government, we must guard against

the acquisition of unwarranted influence,

whether sought or unsought,

by the military-industrial complex.

The potential for the disastrous rise

of misplaced power exists and will persist."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

President John F. Kennedy

from his speech in New York City, April 27, 1961

"Even today, there is little value

in ensuring the survival of our nation

if our traditions do not survive with it.

And there is very grave danger

that an announced need for increased security

will be seized upon by those

anxious to expand it's meaning

to the very limits of official censorship and concealment."

SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN: "BRIBERY IS THE WAY THE SYSTEM WORKS..."

SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN: "BRIBERY IS THE WAY THE SYSTEM WORKS..."

ARIZONA SEN. JOHN McCAIN: 

"Bribery is the way the system works. 
We are defenders of an elaborate 
influences-peddling scheme in which 
both parties conspire to stay in office
by selling the country to the highest bidder." 

Despite this condemnation of the system,

The Supreme Court decided "Citizens United".

Were the Supreme Court Justices uninformed?

Did they not know consequences of “Citizens United”?

Malefactors of great wealth contribute vast sums unanimously.

To buy elections and treat the United States as their property.

“Citizens United” gives corruption of our government a license.

The Justices responsible should to be tried for malfeasance.

JUSTICE SCALIA - HUBRIS PERSONIFIED

Hubris Defined 
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

extreme haughtiness, pride or arrogance.

Hubris often indicates 

a loss of contact with reality

and an overestimation 

of one's own competence or capabilities,

especially when the person 

exhibiting it is in a position of power.

LET JUSTICE BE DONE - A FEDERAL PROSECUTOR’S JOB

Supreme Court Justice George Sutherland described a federal prosecutor’s job in Berger v. United States (1935):

 “The United States Attorney is the representative

not of an ordinary party to a controversy,

but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially 

is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all,

and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution

is not that it shall win a case,

but that justice shall be done.

As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law,

 the two-fold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer.

He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor

— indeed, he should do so.

But, while he may strike hard blows,

he is not at liberty to strike foul ones.

It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods

calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as

it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one.”
