World's Smallest Fraternity Protects Own

Anyone who has been on a college campus knows the pomp and tradition associated with greek life. Fraternities and sororities have secret handshakes and chants, often live in exclusive housing, wear their letters across their chest, and most importantly, vow to support, protect and honor their brothers and sisters.

Among the thousands of greek organizations in the United States rests the smallest, most exclusive, most powerful fraternity in the world. Historically, this fraternity has only admitted 43 members, and is steeped in a more than 220 year tradition. What fraternity is this? That of American presidents. Coming from all walks of life, as long as you're rich and politically connected, this group of individuals now with a booming five living members is unique. Despite individuals coming from different parts of the country and having drastically different political views, the one thing that connects them all is an august respect and protection for each other.

Thus, it should come as no suprise today that our hypocrite-in-chief, after running against the evil Bush administration's trail of lies, corruption, evil, and constitution shredding, agreed to save face for the former president. That's right, all of the waterboarding (read: presidentially approved torture) conducted by the CIA under the Bush Administration will NOT be prosecuted by the Obama Justice Department. Individuals' liberty, safety, and dignity were violated, all while America's sense of morality and decency were subjugated. And what, may you ask is the punishment? NOTHING!!! Yes, score one for Barack Obama's sense of national pride, his protection of the rule of law, and the equal treatment of individuals therein. Some people are above the law, apparently. Frankly, it's that this nation's first black president should offer separate rules of law for individuals. So, Bush administration officials and the former President himself are allowed to sit in the front of the constitutional bus, everyone else better move their asses to the back and fall in line.

Oh, and if you stupid Obamabots are going to act like this is part of the long list of the "one questionable thing Obama has done among a host of great (hopefully, forthcoming) things," he also doesn't want prisoners to have habeas corpus rights...mmm...smell that old car scent.

So, I regret the vote I cast to push this fool into the elite fraternity of criminal protection, rights stripping, and unchecked political and legal power. Also, if I don't post for a while, chalk it up to the lack of Internet access in Guantanamo Bay.
