It will be a bunch of back-stabbers who are only out for their own interests. Obama’s Justice Department is going to mirror him and his leftist illuminati cabinet.

His persecution for missing paperwork demonstrates the comtempt the Justice Department has for the Ameican people. By not supporting the President and the party, DOJ cost the Republicans a fine leader and America a true hero.

It's the narrow-shouldered, high voiced beta males, the weasels who backstab you while smiling at you, that I worry about. Blumenthal is the archetype. Emmanuel less so. For these kinds of men, power is everything, and anything is permissible to get it and enhance it and keep it. Obama thrives on being helped by 'fellow travelers', by people who believe what he believes and don't have to be told what to do. American traditions are expiring rapidly, and the left can't wait to slam the door on those that remain. While I”m not willing to go the ‘end of the world as we know it’ route, I do fear one thing–

Thousands of innocent people were mercilessly tortured and murdered by violent, crazed fundamentalist Christians simply for being liberal or refusing to betray their faiths. Are you really comparing the Spanish Inquisition to an Obama Justice Department? Or are you just being glib? Or do you simply not understand that the fundamentalist nutcases that form the base of the Republican Party would love to usher in a new Inquisition if they had the oportunity? If you want to talk about institutionalized leftists state-sponsored oppression, there are countless examples from which to draw. The Inquisition is not one of them.

Obviously, some of the receipients felt intimidated and reported it. Because they were stupid enough to use his campaign's bulk mailling registration number, investigators were led to him.

And his incompetent AG, Reno? Name one politically motivated prosecution by the Bush Justice Department. Perhaps the most telling aspect of this post is that the author finds it necessary to remain anonymous. Did anyone on the left have any such fear of political retaliation during the last eight years? Don't think so. Remember Clinton, the biggest influence peddler of all time, who fired all of the U.S. Attorneys? And his incompetent AG, Reno?

So, Ayn Rand, without a place to hide, what do we do about the looters now? I guess we will have to experience the whole cycle of government by coercion. As long as there are still crumbs to steal, most folks won't care about liberty at all. Only when the lifestyle of the folks gets radically worse, will they turn on these collectivists. Until then, hide your property as best you can. The flaw in the John Galt scenario is that there is no secret place to live here in Colorado.
