Excrement birds of a feather
After reading Lex’s post next under, Breitbart dug up this gem on ruling class Caligula D.C.insider Republi-Rat Thad Cochran.  Arrogance.  That’s the word that best describes these ruling class hypocrites from Harry the roach Reid and 99.99999999% of Dopes through Thad Cochran and 96.9898989898% of the Republi-Rats.  Sadly, 98% of the Caligula D.C. ruling class excrement bags are arrogant birds of a feather.

Government power run amok
Ponder this article by George Will for just a minute.  Essentially, what Will’s article tells us is the government that supposedly works for us can seize our property for any reason or even no reason at all.  Then, contrary to what is believed to be “the American way,” it is not incumbent upon the government to prove us guilty of a crime.  It is up to us, at our own expense, to prove our innocence.  I have to suppose many innocent victims of the jack-booted militarized local police do not have the means to resist such a legalized government theft scam and forfeit their property without a fight.  Not because they are guilt of anything, rather they simply lack the means to resist. That situation in turn may be used by authorities as an admission of guilt.  I can just hear some Barney Fief chief of police with four stars on his collar at a press conference, “Well we seized Mr. Innocent’s house, boat, cars and bank accounts.  The fact that Mr. Innocent hasn’t obtained legal counsel to challenge the bottomless pit of money and full weight of this city’s government is an indication that he was up to no good.”

FSU could not care less about Jamis Winston
How do you know that Lex?  Because, the last thing we are likely to see is a six game suspension of Winston from the football team for his latest in a long line BS behavior.  What does a caring and loving parent do to child who acts like Jamis Winston?  Those parents will punish their children for such behavior.  Why?  Well parents want what’s best for their children.  They know at some point if the behavior is not corrected the child will get into serious trouble.  Since he demonstrated that he could hit, shoot, throw, run with and kick a ball Winston, like many pampered elite athletes, has probably never had anyone tell him no.  As a result he now thinks the universe revolves around him.  His behavior is getting worse and his bad behavior is getting more frequent.  I’d estimate that FSU and their football supporters could not care less if Winston ended up in jail doing 20 to life as long as the sentence was handed down after a second Heisman Trophy and National Championship.  We’ve seen this story before with Maurice Clarett and Aaron Hernandez.  Clarett has turned his life around after a stint in jail.  Hernandez probably will not have that opportunity.  If Winston continues the trajectory that he’s on, it cannot end well for him.  If FSU cared one wit about Winston outside his ability to throw and rush a football, they’d hammer right now, and hammer him good.  They will not do that.  They’ll cover for him and themselves with talk of “second chances” and doing what’s “best for the athlete.”  It’s all BS.  A good parent doesn’t cover for their child’s bad behavior.  They make them accept the consequence for that behavior.
