A perfect example is slavery. At one time, it was perfectly legal to keep slaves, and illegal to help them to escape slavery. What was legal was clearly wrong. People who risk their careers and freedom to leak truth from agencies in a government that is clearly lying are heroic patriots. Party loyalty has NOTHING to do with it.

No Ed. You are now rationalizing your rationalizations. Anarchy is certainly not the answer. Your arguments have been lost over 200 years ago by men much smarter than you or I. The form of government entrusted to us by our Forefathers is a republic, not a democracy or mobocracy. John Adams : Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy; such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit, and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable [abominable] cruelty of one or a very few

This video makes the Demolibs look like the hypocrites they are. Actually, it makes them look like the traitors they are, traitors who would put the lives of our men and women in the military at risk and embolden the enemy during a time of war, for political purposes only. It's easy to see who the real liars are today. Reminds me of the Clinton scandal years. Instead of being honest and dealing with who you truly are, just describe your political opponents as having your own character first and say it loud and keep saying it over and over. gop.com
