The Laughing Wolf

Foggy Bottom Breakdown...

Well, not so much a breakdown as just business as usual from the lace panty brigade, which long ago left behind such outdated plebeian concepts as individual liberty, rights, and responsibility for the more rarefied heights of progressive thought. The State Department pretty much stopped speaking for the American people, their erstwhile masters, several decades ago and oft goes its own way against the administration. Today's Chamberlain is merely the latest such thing. By their reckoning, it is better to try to score some cheap points with the enemies of civilization than to honor the Constitution and the freedoms enumerated therein in which they no longer belive.

Harsh? Yes, but not nearly harsh enough. This is not just lame. It is nothing less than taking side with our enemies and the enemies of civilization It has given aid and comfort to those enemies, and it has back stabbed our allies and the friends of freedom everywhere.

The Department of State is a cesspit, which various administrations have tried to clean up with little success. Given that they have today shown a moral and ethical cowardice in complete abrogation of their oaths to the Constitution, it is clear that something more than past efforts at reform of a bankrupt institution are needed. For any government agency to publicly proclaim that the rights and responsibilities of the Constitution, most especially the Freedoms of Speech and of the Press, are no longer valid or appropriate is open call for said agency to be abolished and something new built in its place. Something that does not mistakenly believe that it is superior to those whom it is tasked to serve and represent. It is not enough to sack those responsible for this outrage, a full and complete housecleaning is needed.
