What Are You Going To Do About It? by Robert Gore at STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC

Justice and equality are inseparable. Equality here does not mean the fatuous and impossible equality of outcomes that animates collectivists, but equality before the law. Equality of outcomes in all its collectivist guises obliterates equality before the law, the foundation of which is the concept of individual rights. For that concept to have any meaning, each individual must have the same rights, which receive the same protection from the government. Individual, equal rights must be the basis of the law, and when they are not, no justice is possible.

Law instead becomes a tool wielded by those who control the government against everyone else. Yesterday’s announcement by FBI Director James Comey that the FBI would recommend against charging Hillary Clinton in the email matter is the government wielding the law to protect its own. The fix has been in since at least 1913, when it gave itself permission to steal its constituents’ money (the income tax) and to begin the process of profitably substituting its scrip for gold (the Federal Reserve Act). The Clinton fix is business as usual. The exempt-from-the-law class expect outrage and contemptuously ignore it. Indeed, disclosure of the Loretta Lynch-Bill Clinton meeting may have been designed to rub the noses of the not-exempt in it. Yes, it looks terrible, but we run things, you don’t. You don’t like it? Tough shit, what are you going to do about it?

    I have a number of friends on Facebook feel that the election in November might become rigged. We aren't electing a Prez by popular vote but through the Electoral College. Those represenatives theorically by bought off or threated by outside influences to rig the election. The election could cause a tremendous amount of chaos which will be to the advantage of the political power elite. Again, theorically that could start a Revolution. What say you?

    I see this as an opportunity on a par with the 2005 Supreme Court “Kelo” decision, which upheld a government’s “right” to use eminent domain for the benefit of private parties, but sparked widespread outrage that led to repeal of many laws permitting such abuses.

    Scenario #1 (didn’t happen): Hillary is recommended for indictment. The Dems find a way to block her nomination and replace her with someone equally bad, but without all the baggage. This candidate becomes our next President.

    Scenario #2 (might happen): Hillary is “cleared”. Dems are stuck with her, as she continues to gradually lose ground to Trump in the polls, and Gary Johnson maintains his double-digit presence. The presidency is still up for grabs, and a Libertarian is very much still in the race.

    The overreach and outrage may have come at just the right time to derail the Clinton machine once and for all.

    The British crown had its fans back in 1776, too. It doesn't take everybody to change things in a meaningful way, just enough of the right sort of people, like the kind found on GG.

    Thank you, and thank you for spreading the word. I seem to be getting a lot of exposure on this article. Zero Hedge posted it and it has over 40K reads, over 100 comments. There are a lot of people out there who are fed up with the BS.

    the BHO and HRC consortium is killing the u.s. faster
    than the opposition, IMHO. . I want the opposition to
    apply the brakes while the Gary Johnsons of the world
    gain strength. -- j

    What am I going to do he asked? And I flashed four fingers and added a thumb and said. Start little tiny fires all over the country. Just a thought. Then add some ideas. Kindling and let nature take it's coure. Bonfires.

    I'd rather give you a point up for stating what to anyone who has taken and legitimately passed a valid civics course should already know.

    No need to repeat that litany again. Closed minds find facts hard to deal with and in this case the intent is apparent

    Depends on who is interpreting the law and that depends on who the citizens vote into office and do not recall out of office. Of the interpreting is being done by one of George Soro's hired judicial thugs i would mantain they were the outlaws as we didn't sign up for a totalitarian socialist socia contract. Enforcing what I said is much more difficult when you are speaking for a deposed Constitutional Republic while trying to dodge the slings and arrows of outrageous protective echelons. Still it's a counter revolution and it's not diminishing.

    There is no longer the slightest doubt that those occupying posts within the Beltway are the new royalty. Only the titles have changed. They are immune from the charges of commoners once they have achieved one of the higher ranks. Oh, a Baron might get his tighty whities in a bind now and then, but the higher ups never. Of course there are their vassals who are their plan B and take the blame for them, but in general the Earls, Dukes, Princes and Kings are immune. It's time for a Revolution, but the public will need to suffer a good deal more before that will happen.

    "Has it occurred to you that in your agreement with "law becoming a tool" you may very well find your right to speak your mind makes you an outlaw?"
    Yes, that is my whole point. Once the law becomes a fig leaf to hide rule of men, there is no more liberty.

    My definition of JUSTICE: A DEBT PAID
    Courts evolved a process to determine:
    1. Is there a debt?
    2. Who is responsible for the debt?
    3. How will the debt be paid?
    4. Issue an Order re: #3

    Hildebeast created a "debt" when she broke the law. The court process has shown itself to be corrupt. Welcome to the Banana Republic of the United States.

    I couldn't disagree more. My grandfather was a staunch Dem and I can hear him rolling in his grave over the hubris of the Clintons. I can have a conversation with friends who are liberals and agree to disagree, but the Clintons to me define evil. Harsh I know, but if I have to explain why then we can save time and agree to disagree right now.

    Here is the American Problem as seen by Tocqueville's observations...complements of Mark Levin in his book Ameritopia. Also read in full on Wed. July 6, 2016. levintv.com
    And I paraphrase: 'People manage to shake off their dependence just long enough to select their new master and then relapse back into dependence, quite contented they had done enough for the protection of individual freedom; when, in fact, they just surrendered it to the power of the nation at large."

    Liberty is a wonderful thing, we have all witnessed it by your comment. Has it occurred to you that in your agreement with "law becoming a tool" you may very well find your right to speak your mind makes you an outlaw?
