The Perry Indictments: We Are Now Officially A Banana Republic

The Obama Police State is relentless. They used a loophole in Alaska ethics laws to force a middle class woman by the name of Sarah Palin out of office. With $500,000 in legal fees and a governor's salary, to say nothing of the time-consumption, Palin was forced to resign. Incidentally, Alaska law was reformed after her departure to prevent frivolous ethics charges.

Scott Walker is as clean as a whistle but the Obama Machine first used a recall and then a "John Doe" Investigation in an effort to unseat, intimidate, smear and destroy the governor's career.

Now 2016 Republican presidential front runner, Rick Perry, has been hit with bogus indictments originating from a Democratic-controlled county. This is naked politics pure and simple. The governor did not line his own pockets or do anything even slightly illegal. He vetoed a bill. That is his "crime."

While we lament the systemic corruption of the American judicial system, I will take the opportunity to say "I told you so" to Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and William Bennet and every other hypocrite who supported the Kenneth Starr investigation. I said there would be hell to pay for weaponizing the judicial branch for political expedience. Remember it was the Whitewater investigation that Mr. Peepers used as a pretext to examine the love life of the president. He used a financial investigation in ruin Monica Lewinsky and to humiliate the Clintons, all the while unlawfully leaking grand jury testimony.

The Perry indictments should prompt all good people, Democrats, Republicans and none of the above, to shout "Enough." Then again, the widespread abuses and destruction of evidence at the IRS should have prompted good people to action. Or The NSA abuses before that. Or the naming of a law-abiding reporter as a criminal to justify spying on his family. Or the obstruction of justice involving the Benghazi tragedy. Or the obstruction of justice involving the peddling of automatic weapons to Mexican criminal enterprises that resulted in over 160 deaths. Sadly, there just is not enough time or space to recount all of the Obama Administration malfeasance. The Perry indictments are just one more in a long list of abuses.

The Democrats are desperate to hold the Senate. With Eric Holder in power should we be surprised by October surprises? The Democrats are thugs, pure and simple. We have to acknowledge the obvious.
