explaination

In case you're wondering, this is Boss Tweed.  Look it up.
Here's a good parallel for a country without the rule of law that I think most people can identify with: A nation without the rule of law will be run just like most people's jobs, i.e., the boss will do what he likes, and "if you dont like it, I'm sure there are plenty of people who'd love to have your job".

Sound familiar?

Obama and his minions are sure dancing around a few 'rule of law' issues lately aren't they?

Did you really think that he'd be that much different? We've bred us a bunch of politicians who work for Money, not People. Now we reap what we've sown. Freedom loving people need to get ready to fight or flee. Either way, pare down the stuff you own, and be prepared to move somewhere quickly (if only because of the economy).

Actually, I have been on the fence about his hope and change mantra.

As you state and I concur, he IS a Politician first and formost.

Dave,
The boss has laws (or rules) that he's supposed to follow, just like the nation has laws we're supposed to follow. What makes the difference is that one of us follows the laws and the other, not so much.

My theory: "Laws only keep honest people honest." If you're a crapweasel, no amount of action will make the inherently lawless become lawful.
