According to Liberals..... much of the glorified negativity in Hip-Hop music DOESN'T encourage impressionable adolescents to go out and emulate their vivid imagery. We DON'T need to hold these people accountable.
But, news outlets opinions cause rational adults to go out and kill...
Truthfully, though the ideology of a lot of these militia groups clashes with my views, I believe another Ruby Ridge was avoided because of their presence at Bunckerville. Nuf said.
We need to realize that 99.9% of people listen to the rhetoric from both sides, maybe get riled up but never do anything about it. We cannot control the nutjobs out there.

We have never had three equal branches of government. For that matter, the whole idea of separation of powers is idiotic. It assumes that the three branches of government are somehow uniquely appointed. Congress is elected in the same way as the president, and the court is appointed by them. And presidents, judges, and most Congressmen are lawyers.
If we are hoping that the separation of powers somehow stops abuses of government. All we can really hope for, is that the majority ideology in each branch is different than the majority of the other branches. Basically, if the courts, the presidency, and the Congress were filled full of liberals, there might as well not even be different branches.
Of course, when the branches of government differ in ideology, we then complain about how government "can't get anything done".
The truth is, you people deserve a monarch, because you are too stupid to understand the dangers of democracy.
You people? Are you not a citizen of this country?
You completely missed my point, which was that even if we nominally have three equal branches of government, it's heavily weighted in favor of the executive branch which presides over the vast government bureaucracy. You see it in Obama's directive to the immigration dept. not to deport anyone. You saw it in how the gov't shutdown was handled, with the national park service putting barricades in front of open-air parks that never required security before, just so we'd feel the pain. You see it in the IRS scandal, which has the public sector union fingerprints all over it and has been directly tied to the only person in the executive branch that works directly with the IRS. We have laws in place, but he completely ignores them at his whim. Obama's not the first president to overuse his bureaucratic powers, but he's probably the worst.
