Conservatives Display Cognitive Disconnect From Realit and Morality


































CNN's Rick Sanchez and Sen. John Ensign (R-NV)
CNN's Rick Sanchez just grilled Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) about Ensign's affair with the wife of an aide and his ham-fisted efforts to cover things up.

Ensign came on prepared to keep politicizing the failed terror attacks by using them to attack President Obama. But Sanchez quickly turned the tables by bringing up Ensign's personal woes, leaving the senator visibly surprised.


Ensign cannot manage his marriage and let his parents pay off his mistress to keep quiet, but hey he is suddenly an expert on second guessing actual experts on national security. Ensign in typical conservative fashion thinks his obviously poor and hypocritical judgment does not disqualify him from exploiting the mistakes of others.


A look back at a president who America was lucky to survive. Survival of a sort, we'll be paying for his mistakes for decades. No wonder conservatives are in a rush to blame Obama for the economy, The Most Dangerous President Ever - How and why George W. Bush undermines American security

And so, by strategy, inclination and conviction, George W. Bush has been pursuing a reckless, even ridiculous, but always right-wing agenda -- shredding a global-security structure at a time requiring unprecedented international integration, shredding a domestic safety net at a time when the private sector provides radically less security than it did a generation ago. No American president has ever played quite so fast and loose with the well-being of the American people.
Our grandchildren will be wondering why Bush and Cheney were not tried and jailed for treason.

Its 2010 and Americans that are interested in the facts, morality and justice are wondering why BigGovernment.com, James O’Keefe and Andrew Breitbart and are not on trial for using manipulated video to smear an organization of people devoted to helping America's poorest and most vulnerable citizens.
