Wait, didn't the MSM used to report this type of thing 24/7 when Bush was president? Didn't the left protest it and demand the president be charged with war crimes? I wonder what's changed...
Obviously, liberals are as two faced as conservatives when it comes to distinguishing between "government" and "state."
It is also useful to ask what doesn't seem to change much:
"The most damning indicators of national decline are upon us.
"We have watched an oligarchy rise to take economic and political power.
"The top 1 percent of the population has amassed more wealth than the bottom 90 percent combined,(2007) creating economic disparities unseen since the Depression.
"If Hillary Rodham Clinton becomes president,(in 2008) we will see the presidency controlled by two families for the last 24 years."
If the rich war whore is elected in 2016 and reelected four years later, we will have seen two families control the US Presidency for 7 of every 9 years since the "end" of the Cold War.
