    Being totally honest, I donĀ“t blame Obama too much for this. This has become a system and a machinery with its own life and no matter who is President it is going forward. There is thousands and thousands of bureaucrats will be the gear in this machine while they will use this machine for what they think is right or beneficial to them. Nobody will be in charge and future will be determined by this system and its machinery. It can even destroy the people who started it. Look at the examples in the history and the terror period in French Revolution, Soviet and Nazi Germany and many other less know examples where most of the founders of such system in the end also became its victim.

    While that statement is largely true, one cannot completely discard the office of the presidency. While people like James Clapper, Scooter Libby, and Eric Holder will never see the inside of a prison cell, at least Bush was willing to let a prosecution go forward on Libby even if he did commute his sentence (not a pardon).

    Obama simply refuses to appoint a special prosecutor to any apparent breach of justice emanating from his office, specifically those committed by his "justice" department. Instead of investigations, Obama extends executive privilege to those being investigated, like Eric Holder, so they don't have to provide the unreadable heavily redacted documents that they would normally provide to any form of oversight.

    The people who started our form of government are long gone, but they did leave us something very important. Constant peaceful revolution, by means of the electoral process. As many establishment Republicans have found out the hard way, you can and will be removed from a "safe" seat you have gerrymandered to the point of making the electoral contest uncontested.

    Establishment Republicans and Democrats have done nearly as good of a job destroying the words "Tea Party" as they have destroying the word "Liberal", but the large majority of the citizens in this country who think the Federal Government has overstepped its constitutionally limited boundaries, haven't simply gone away and died. If anything, after the recent Edward Snowden disclosures, there are more of them than ever with a growing percentage of them being people who vote Democrat. Political chaos is coming, and we may soon see a polar shift in politics where the Washington DC crowd (Earl and his buddies McCain, Schummer, Obama, Feinstein, and King) unites, against the rest of America, regardless of political label.

    Gallup just hit a record of 41% of Americans now identifying as Independent.
