The Libs got it all arse backwards.

it's not complicated, the "libs"-progressives...believe that your "cannonts" are absolutely "cans", if , and only if, they are allowed to oversee the system of doing things with their superior intellect and ideaology.....I don't know that they "got it all arse backwards"...they simply have a different definition of "Justice" and an overinflated sense of self...and this is not new...it can be traced all the way back to Plato's Republic, Socrates and the writing's of Aristotle...the left elects "Philosopher Kings" whose rehtoric is far more important than accomplishment and who seek to instill "justice" as they define it into every aspect of your life...the ends justifiy the means because they are, of course, seeking justice...as they define it...this mission of bringing about justice frees them from any bonds or bounds in their fight..as you may have noticed

the current president may be the most shining example that we've seen as someone who with his assumed or bestowed intellect, remarkable lack of accomplishment and driven by an ideaology which frees him, in his mind, from any sense of accountability and which has now placed himself in a very precarious position...because he, in fact, believes that ..."Yes, He Can" despite all of the evidence to the contrary and that little thing called reality...oh, and the Constitution
