6. Why does his Justice Department
Thu May 2, 2013, 07:35 PM

*go all the way to the Supreme Court to fight for warrantless surveillance?

*go all the way to the Supreme Court to argue for strip searches for any arrestee?

*escalate the war on marijuana when candidate Obama promised to do exactly the opposite?

*wage legal battles against union and whistleblowing protections for hundreds of thousands of federal employees?

*refuse to prosecute even huge, egregious examples of banking fraud and corruption, such as HSBC?



This is how Orwellian the propaganda has become. It is now commonplace that we are exhorted to believe that the clear repeated, relentless actions of an administration reveal a President's deeply held convictions in the exact opposite direction.
