Obama's Justice nominees signal break with Bush counterterrorism policies

Obama appoints a bunch of squishy academic weasels to all the key posts in DofJ.

Clear signal that anyone who doesn’t want these a-holes breathing down their neck might as well leave govt. asap.

Hate to say it, but anyone who’s worth a damn in the intel community has to decide right now whether they are willing to have their life turned upside down and torn apart by these lib jackals who will be far, far tougher on patriotic Americans than they will be on terrorists.

Hope there are still good people willing to put themselves on the line for their country, but with some of the Obamanation nominations no rational person should want to do it.

Can you imagine being in the CIA or FBI etc., going all-out trying to break up terror plots, and having some of these academic pansies wreck your life over it? It’s going to be demoralizing at best for anyone who is not a liberal twit.

Obama is going to be another weak, pathetic Jimmy Carter. Our enemies are going to walk all over Obama—to our detriment.

If I had a horse with that crazed look in his eyes, I wouldn’t walk behind him.

**President-elect Barack Obama signaled that he intends to roll back Bush administration counterterrorism policies authorizing harsh interrogation techniques, warrantless spying and indefinite detentions of terrorism suspects.**

This is not good for us here in the U. S. It just invites terrorists to strike us.

How do we let Obamanation know?

Johnsen, who spent five years in the Office of Legal Counsel during the Clinton administration Another Clintonite. This is change? have zero's supporters figured this out yet?

Links in my post 2 were not correct, I just copied them from the end of this article, without checking them. Thanks to MadMax, the Grinning Reaper for pointing it out.

I found the correct links. Here they are:

“How do we let Obamanation know?”

You can go to his website, and tell him, not that he will care.

"How do we let Obamanation know?"

First try to imagine that Obamanation or any leftist gives a 'Rat's a## what any of us think, or what really makes America secure.

There, I knew you couldn't do it.....

obambi's strategy: The more attacks on U.S. soil, the more freedoms & liberties we can relieved of.

Just consider how many we've already lost without any attacks...there aren't too many left to lose.

They should look for openings in the IRS where the academic pansies will encourage imaginative, energetic pursuit of tax dodgers. Come to think of it, we should tax terrorism and then the IRS can save the world.

Another bleeding-heart, liberal Leftist professor. (I know it’s redundant, but accurate).

You are most likely correct about that..and it will be folks like us who keep this up.
