[So much for the formerly great American legal system. Isn't it
amazing how quickly even relatively noble institutions turn into
large, steaming pile of shit when liberals are in charge!]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lewis Libby has now been found guilty of perjury and obstruction of
justice for lies that had absolutely no legal consequence.

It was not a crime to reveal Valerie Plame's name because she was not
a covert agent. If it had been a crime, Special Prosecutor Patrick
Fitzgerald could have wrapped up his investigation with an indictment
of the State Department's Richard Armitage on the first day of his
investigation since it was Armitage who revealed her name and
Fitzgerald knew it.

With no crime to investigate, Fitzgerald pursued a pointless
investigation into nothing, getting a lot of White House officials to
make statements under oath and hoping some of their recollections
would end up conflicting with other witness recollections, so he could
charge some Republican with "perjury" and enjoy the fawning media
attention.

As a result, Libby is now a convicted felon for having a faulty memory
of the person who first told him that Joe Wilson was a delusional boob
who lied about his wife sending him to Niger.

This makes it official: It's illegal to be Republican.

Since Teddy Kennedy walked away from a dead girl with only a wrist
slap (which was knocked down to a mild talking-to, plus time served:
zero), Democrats have apparently become a protected class in America,
immune from criminal prosecution no matter what they do.

As a result, Democrats have run wild, accepting bribes, destroying
classified information, lying under oath, molesting interns, driving
under the influence, obstructing justice and engaging in sex with
underage girls, among other things.

Meanwhile, conservatives of any importance constantly have to spend
millions of dollars defending themselves from utterly frivolous
criminal prosecutions. Everything is illegal, but only Republicans get
prosecuted.

Conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh was subjected to a
three-year criminal investigation for allegedly buying prescription
drugs illegally to treat chronic back pain. Despite the witch-hunt,
Democrat prosecutor Barry E. Krischer never turned up a crime.

Even if he had, to quote liberal Harvard Law professor Alan
Dershowitz: "Generally, people who illegally buy prescription drugs
are not prosecuted." Unless they're Republicans.

The vindictive prosecution of Limbaugh finally ended last year with a
plea bargain in which Limbaugh did not admit guilt. Gosh, don't you
feel safer now? I know I do.

In another prescription drug case with a different result, last year,
Rep. Patrick Kennedy (Democrat), apparently high as a kite on
prescription drugs, crashed a car on Capitol Hill at 3 a.m. That's
abuse of prescription drugs plus a DUI offense. Result: no charges
whatsoever and one day of press on Fox News Channel.

I suppose one could argue those were different jurisdictions. How
about the same jurisdiction?

In 2006, Democrat and major Clinton contributor Jeffrey Epstein was
nabbed in Palm Beach in a massive police investigation into his hiring
of local underage schoolgirls for sex, which I'm told used to be a
violation of some kind of statute in the Palm Beach area.

The police presented Limbaugh prosecutor Krischer with boatloads of
evidence, including the videotaped statements of five of Epstein's
alleged victims, the procurer of the girls for Epstein and 16 other
witnesses.

But the same prosecutor who spent three years maniacally investigating
Limbaugh's alleged misuse of back-pain pills refused to bring
statutory rape charges against a Clinton contributor. Enraging the
police, who had spent months on the investigation, Krischer let
Epstein off after a few hours on a single count of solicitation of
prostitution. The Clinton supporter walked, and his victims were
branded as whores.

The Republican former House Whip Tom DeLay is currently under
indictment for a minor campaign finance violation. Democratic
prosecutor Ronnie Earle had to empanel six grand juries before he
could find one to indict DeLay on these pathetic charges -- and this
is in Austin, Texas (the Upper West Side with better-looking people).

That final grand jury was so eager to indict DeLay that it indicted
him on one charge that was not even a crime -- and which has since
been tossed out by the courts.

After winning his primary despite the indictment, DeLay decided to
withdraw from the race rather than campaign under a cloud of
suspicion, and Republicans lost one of their strongest champions in
Congress.

Compare DeLay's case with that of Rep. William "The Refrigerator"
Jefferson, Democrat. Two years ago, an FBI investigation caught
Jefferson on videotape taking $100,000 in bribe money. When the FBI
searched Jefferson's house, they found $90,000 in cash stuffed in his
freezer. Two people have already pleaded guilty to paying Jefferson
the bribe money.

Two years later, Bush's Justice Department still has taken no action
against Jefferson. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently put Rep.
William Jefferson on the Homeland Security Committee.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democrat, engaged in a complicated
land swindle, buying a parcel of land for $400,000 and selling it for
over $1 million a few years later. (At least it wasn't cattle
futures!)

Reid also received more than four times as much money from Jack
Abramoff (nearly $70,000) as Tom DeLay ($15,000). DeLay returned the
money; Reid refuses to do so. Why should he? He's a Democrat.

Former Clinton national security adviser Sandy Berger literally
received a sentence of community service for stuffing classified
national security documents in his pants and then destroying them --
big, fat federal felonies.

But Scooter Libby is facing real prison time for forgetting who told
him about some bozo's wife.

Bill Clinton was not even prosecuted for obstruction of justice
offenses so egregious that the entire Supreme Court staged a historic
boycott of his State of the Union address in 2000.

By contrast, Linda Tripp, whose only mistake was befriending the
office hosebag and then declining to perjure herself, spent millions
on lawyers to defend a harassment prosecution based on far-fetched
interpretations of state wiretapping laws.

Liberal law professors currently warning about the "high price" of
pursuing terrorists under the Patriot Act had nothing but blood lust
for Tripp one year after Clinton was impeached (Steven Lubet, "Linda
Tripp Deserves to be Prosecuted," New York Times, 8/25/99).

Criminal prosecution is a surrogate for political warfare, but in this
war, Republicans are gutless appeasers.

Bush has got to pardon Libby.

Debate honestly or shut the hell up!

Posted (and possibly paraphrased) with permission. Following the
example set by other posters in this and other groups, the creator
of this post has withheld the author/source of the article above
because the author/source is not relevant to the merit of the
article's content -- except to whining liberals and big State
collaborators who have no intellectual, emotional or moral
capacity to HONESTLY refute, support or expand on the points made in
the article! Since they "feeeel" that the article ideas are "wrong",
but cannot logically refute them, their typical response is to attack
the author, source or poster. Withholding attribution denies these
pathetic, intellectually dysfunctional critics the opportunity to
attack anything BUT the content or the poster. Attacking ANYTHING BUT
the article content is evidence that you have already lost the debate.

Now watch this folks. Some of the pedantic, anal, nitpicking liberals
here who care more for red herring allegations of plagiarism than the
actual content of the debate will now expend some of the precious,
irreplaceable (thank God) time of their pathetic lives in identifying
the author of this piece (it's not the poster) and then whine and
squeal about anything BUT the content. It's really comical to watch.
