Quote:Which is a fancy way of making excuses.

 

 

I repeat, all I'm trying to do is add a little bit of perspective.   I am neither a liberal nor a conservative.   I (think I) hold no political dogma.   Is everything black and white these days?   Do we all have to want to shoot the other side?   Can we not have a little bit of perspective about these politicians and their problems?  

 

I'm not trying to make excuses for Eric Holder.   If you see an excuse in anything I've said, that's up to you.   All I am trying to say is, this stuff has been going on since the days of George Washington.   If you want to change it, there will have to he a systemic change.   Throw Eric Holder in jail, it will mean nothing, because it will happen again, no matter who is in power.  

 

Plus, It is not received wisdom that Eric Holder is a criminal.   That is debatable.   He has not been charged with any crime that I know of.   I am not saying yes or no, I am saying it is debatable.  

 

Again, "I wish he had been shot for sedition" was what  brought me into this thread.   But just because I object to that ridiculous statement, that doesn't mean I think he's innocent of anything.   I am taking a position in the middle and I am defending that position.   I know that throws people off, because all they see on TV and all they hear on the radio these days is liberal vs conservative as if that's all that exists.
