Attorney General Eric Holder’s speech, in which he upheld the authority of the President to order the murder (oops, “assassination”) of anyone, is as good a reflection of the utter depravity of the American political system as one could find. Holder’s suggestion that the President’s lone decision to kill satisfied “due process” — and that courts would not be necessary in such instances — brings to mind the defenses made by the Nazi defendants at the Nuremberg trials. How do Holder’s words differ from those World War II tyrants who, like Bush and Obama, undertook wars against harmless nations in Europe, and regarded the incarceration and killing of civilians as “legal” because they had been ordered by higher state officials? In the interest of historic justice, will Holder seek some judicial remedy to rehabilitate the reputations of the Nuremberg defendants, lest their convictions serve as precedents that might later prove troublesome to this administration?
This, Boobus, is why the campaign on behalf of Ron Paul matters. If you are content with the psychopathic logic of Mr. Holder, go get yourself a “World War II” baseball cap and get in line with the other lemmings marching in the “Anybody But Ron Paul” parade: you can even watch the show on network TV!
