Awful news from the Fifth Circuit

It looks like the Bush Administration got to them.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals today affirmed the major counts against former Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, reversing only a minor obstruction of justice count.

Despite the prosecution admitting to the appelate judges that their drug-smuggling witness lied on the stand, despite the fact that "It was never the intent of the Congress to have U.S.C. Section 924(c) apply to law enforcement officers", the three appelate judges have chosen to keep Ramos and Compean in prison. They are our nation's first political prisoners.

Just in case you need a reason to be thankful that we're no longer under the rule of Great Brittain...

Here's a headline from The Daily Mail.

Sharia law SHOULD be used in Britain, says UK's top judge

Praise God for our founders and their desire for self government.

Bill Clinton polarizes the election and then warns us that politics has become polarized

The left's unwillingness to face their own short comings knows no bounds. Look at this headline from USA Today:

Bill Clinton warns of political polarization

Is that absolutely astonishing or what.

Of all the human beings converting oxygen into carbon dioxide that this moment, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton dares to warn people about politics becoming polarized.

Former President Bill Clinton warned Saturday that the country is becoming increasingly polarized despite the historic nature of the Democratic primary.

Speaking at the National Governors Association's semiannual meeting, Clinton noted that on the one hand, following the early stages of the Democratic primary, "the surviving candidates were an African-American man and a woman."

Clinton's wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, battled for the Democratic nomination into June with fellow Democrat Barack Obama, son of a white mother and black father.

But this achievement was overshadowed by a growing distance between Americans, said Clinton.

"Underneath this apparent accommodation to our diversity, we are in fact hunkering down in communities of like-mindedness, and it affects our ability to manage difference," Clinton said.

What a laugh. The man who waged class warfare as a standard operating procedure for eight years from the White House now says we shouldn't worry about our differences. The real news here is that some "journalist" wrote this story without pointing out the gargantuan bucket of hypocrisy tied to Slick Willie's ankle.

Exquisite Hypocrisy

Behold the Reverend Jesse Jackson.

Why is this man still taken seriously?
