The truth shall set you free

So, are we entering a period of truthful enlightenment in our beloved homeland?  Recent revelations suggest something may be happening:

·         Is Angie Jolie a “minimally talented spoiled brat?”  Sure, of course she is.  So what?  She is surrounded by cadres of marginally and minimally talented brats.  There is no great revelation in any of this.  But the mere mentioning of it could qualify the expression of this truth as enlightened and that is what we are seeking.

·         James Risen – the author of “Pay Any Price” and also the fellow being pursued by the federal government (Obama and Holder) for speaking truth to power and not complying with requests to reveal sources.  Remember in a recent post of ours we asked you to contact your senators and congressmen and tell them to “layoff Risen.”  Well, guess what?  They backed down.  Holder just announced –  Risen won’t be forced to reveal.  Such a deal, huh?  Bureaucrats respecting the constitution?  Some people would call that surprising – but not necessarily enlightened.

·         The great leader himself – at odds with the nutso, wack jobs (Nancy and Elizabeth) in his own party.  Mr. Obama just said that "the divided government that the American people voted for" means supporting compromise legislation.  Doh?  After six years he finally gets it – but the wacko gals in his dwindling accumulation still don’t.  We will gladly settle for Mr. Obama attaining enlightenment – let’s face it, the old democrat gals, including Hillary, are not ready for enlightenment.  Best they stay on the lecture circuit.

·         Did you see America’s number one spook – this Brennan fellow dancing around pretending to be upset over democrat criticism of his spooky behavior?  The only problem we see is that no one cuts their budget.  What are the realistic odds that either the CIA or NSA or FBI will actually prevent a serious homeland threat from becoming reality – not just on TV?  One in ten?  One in a hundred?  A thousand?  Maybe Angie could make a movie - call it Homeland or some such thing.  Meanwhile, we’d be better off spending our taxpayer money securing our homes and vehicles and offices the way the government folk do with their homes and vehicles and offices.

·          Ed.  When will Obama and Holder let Ed come home?  We’re not asking that they name a building after him – like the way they did for JEdgarHoover or some other constitutional shredding bureaucrat but don’t you think making someone live in Russia for a couple of years is punishment enough for just telling the truth?

·         Which brings us to the real reason for this essay about enlightenment.  Rod Blagojevich was the governor of Illinois and he was prosecuted by Obama’s Holder gang for being a dope.  Shooting off his mouth; behaving like a juvenile; uttering ridiculous statements.  He never took a penny to back up his silliness.  14 years in a federal prison for being stupid.  He has a family – two daughters – he is ruined – mostly by his own hand.  Enough.  Mr. Obama, we implore you – pardon this man. 

·         Setting Rod free would be an act of mercy.  And an act of enlightenment.
