Who Turned America Into A Banana Republic?

[PoliticalChic]

1. This is what America was:
"in America, the law is King. For as in absolute governments the king is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other."
Common Sense, Thomas Paine.



2. No longer.
Now, it depends on who you are, not what you are.

Long-time Liberal...and law scholar, Johnathan Turley...
"Jonathan Turley (born May 6, 1961) is an American lawyer, legal scholar, writer, commentator, and legal analyst in broadcast and print journalism. He is currently a professor of law at The George Washington University Law School."
Jonathan Turley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Has given the only possible description of the Hillary email episone:
Res ipsa loquitur ("The thing itself speaks")


3. "....expressing grave concern over the "bizarre" way in which the FBI handled the Clinton email investigation.
Respected legal scholar Jonathan Turley had previously opined that "FBI Director James Comey was within accepted lines of prosecutorial discretion in declining criminal charges," even though he believed that charges could have been brought. Now, due to recent revelations that the Department of Justice handed out at least five immunity deals, Turley believes the matter is a "legitimate matter of congressional concern and investigation."

4. Turley writes at his blog, "the news of the immunity deals (and particularly the deal given top ranking Clinton aide Cheryl Mills) was baffling and those deals seriously undermined the ability to bring criminal charges in my view."

Thank you Politicalchic...another great thread.....

If Americans vote hilary into office...there is no coming back.....they will have chosen to be a banana republic....thinking that ensures them easy hand outs from the government....and their children and grandchildren will suffer the consquences of that choice.....

The democrat party is the party of crime and racism.....voting them in will cement that into our government for good.....

Richard Nixon was forced to resign ....by his own party.......hilary's party will do anything to keep her in power........

By 'Liberal,' I recognize you applying the contemporary terminology.

Which means, you couldn't be more wrong: you could try to be...but you would not be successful.


The Folks who founded this country were classical liberals...what are known as conservatives today: they believed in individualism, free markets and limited constitutional government.


Modern Liberals stole the name, and applied it to their party, the Socialist Party.


Don't make that mistake again.

Your system was designed that way, intentionally, from the beginning. You, as the owner/operator of a vagina, were left out altogether hon; no voice at all, property in effect. You have progressive women to thank for not being in that station today.

Hillary just released this tweet:
“ ‘Oh, you dear children, who has brought you here? Do come in, and stay with me. No harm shall happen to you.’ She took them both by the hand and led them to her little house.”





Oh...wait...that was the other witch.
The one in Brothers Grimm, “Hansel and Gretl.”

Our politicians. Left and Right. It amazes me how some people can sit there and blame one side for EVERYTHING

".... red tape in America is no laughing matter. The problem is not the rules that are self-evidently absurd. It is the ones that sound reasonable on their own but impose a huge burden collectively. America is meant to be the home of laissez-faire. Unlike Europeans, whose lives have long been circumscribed by meddling governments and diktats from Brussels, Americans are supposed to be free to choose, for better or for worse. Yet for some time America has been straying from this ideal."

laissez-faire failed as a policy when the Great Depression started...Actually the death throws had begun years before with Teddy Roosevelt..

The import of the OP was the corruption inherent in the FBI treatment of Bill's wife.

Why would you feel it necessary to obfuscate?



Support for the Democrats makes one into a defender of what they have become?

I'm both surprised at you....and disappointed.

This is the sort of pretzel one must become in the vain attempt to defend the corruption.

Where are the defenders of the Obama/Lynch FBI???
