DIPLOMAD

It's been an eventful week for the media: A government shutdown; a glitch-infested roll out of the disastrous Obamacare; and, of course, a deranged white male Tea Party member with a Ted Cruz pin carrying an AR-15 attacked the White House while screaming racial and Islamophobic epithets.

Well, sort of.


That last one, not so much, and much to the chagrin of the liberal media and politicians. It turns out, of course, that all the shots fired were by the Keystone Capitol Hill cops. Those Guardians of the Peace, members of that Thin Blue Line standing between order and chaos, after terrorizing downtown DC, shutting Congress with a fusillade of rounds, engaging in a wild twenty-vehicle chase, crashing a couple of cars, injuring one of their own, managed to shoot and kill a disturbed unarmed single mother apparently AFTER her car had come to a halt and presented no danger. One wonders where the Trayvon Martin supporters are on this. It also conjures up memories of last year's NYPD shooting orgy near the Empire State Building in which the cops pumped out some 16 rounds to kill a subject, who never fired a round, and wounded several innocent bystanders.

The police are out of control. This cop craziness has to stop, if for no other reason than to allow the media to focus on the real danger, you know, white male Tea Party members with AR-15s.

Not exactly. Much of "the society we want" amounts to things outside of government
To liberals, there is nothing outside of government.

There is not better system than democracy. If so tell me what it is.
