US Rep Trey Gowdy gives a warning on The Rule of Law that ALL should listen to

“You may benefit from the president’s failure to enforce the law today.  But I’ll make you this promise; there will come a day where you will cry out for the enforcement of the law. There will come a day when you long for the law to be the foundation of this Republic.  So you be careful what you do with the law today, because if you weaken it today, you weaken it forever.

UPDATE: It’s an annoying auto-play video so I’ve just put it after the jump.  You should listen to it because it perfectly encapsulates one of the biggest problems in the country today:

I’ve been doing a lot of writing about The Rule of Law and how it is being diminished at all levels of government.  Sure, criminals have disregarded it since, well, forever – it who they are.  However, we have always had the mindset that following The Rule of Law was just part and parcel of what American life just is – and now, from the top and sinking downward to the bottom level, we see it almost dissolving in front of our eyes as leader after leader, with an almost cavalierly fashion, decide that they get to ignore what they don’t want to follow.  Or single handedly, redefine the language in a mind twisting ways that don’t reflect the dictionary but when they are finished, their efforts almost seem to be logical….

….until you actual parse the words carefully and go “setting up a Steve Job’s warp field, this isn’t”.  Or, they just flat out look you in the eye, say something that has absolutely no sense, and implicitly demand that you believe that outright lie in hook, line, and sinker stupidity.

Unfortunately, it seems to work all too often lately with our under educated and overly ideologically bound manner with those that seemingly have no clue as to our foundational philosophy.  I feel like I’m in a parallel universe, sometimes, and no way of breaking the glass when these folks flap their gums.
