Seems like even those Bushies who didn’t manage to make it to the end of the W. age with their political reputations intact are popping up with brand new jobs; take, for example, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who’s slated to teach a political science course at Texas Tech University this fall.

Well, at least he’s not teaching law.

The New York Times:

A senior business assistant in the political science department at Texas Tech, Dora Rodriguez, told the newspaper that Mr. Gonzales would teach a “special topics” course on contemporary issues in the executive branch.

The photograph says it all—the guy has the soul of Jabba the Hut. Why isn’t he in jail? Oh that’s right, Obama is forward-thinking; he doesn’t like the past because it isn’t convenient. So all the war criminals and white collar thieves get to go scott-free—that’s Obama’s legacy, that change we were supposed to believe in. Ashes ashes all fall down.

There is no justice.
Just us.
We can raise merry hell a bit.
There is no case for forgetting these crooks. If we can’t prosecute we can persecute them. Their free pass has expired. Raising dust around them makes sure history will record them as the villains they are.

This is a man who belongs in jail, not teaching our children. Yet another disgrace and reason to castigate the Obama administration for its refusal to restore a measure of justice to this nation.

Law? what’s that? the constantly shifting “law” made by the Goverment that operates LAWLESSLY? Exploitation is a CRIME folks: yet, we are told “THIS is the way “democracy” works????? weaponing up bullies & tyrants worldwide, telling them to HOLD the FOOD hostage til the PEOPLE of THAT nation just like here: pay more & more & more. THIS is the reason so many are dying from hunger when the TRUTH is: NOT using pesticides, which are killing off the wildlife, & using MULCH (Ruth Stouts books) doubles & triples production of food; but then: their POCKETBOOKS would HURT: from Monsanto, Dow: chemicals: used in THIS nation ONLY agressively: killing off infants, children & adults: THIS is DEMOCRACY??? What a JOKE!
More like: NO justice; SHIFTING laws by SHIFTIER “so called” Lawmakers; more like LAW BREAKERS and COMMON POND SCUM CRIMINALS!
But HERE: criminals are PROMOTED! now going GLOBALLY so the WHOLE WORLD suffers because of the AMERICANS lack of doing anything to CORRECT a CORRUPT GOVERNMENT!
