Obama and Reagan

Saturday, May 17, 2008

The same kinds of people (and even some the very same people, including Don Rumsfeld, Newt Gingrich and Pat Robertson) who are accusing Obama of being an appeaser because he is willing to talk to our enemies said the same thing about Ronald Reagan in the 80’s when Reagan was willing to negotiate with the Soviet Union.

Impersonation - the sincerest form of flattery

Saturday, May 17, 2008

Three months ago, a 36-year-old man showed up in Gerald, Missouri claiming to be a federal DEA officer. He drove a car with a siren bar and a police radio and wore a black t-shirt with “Police” emblazoned across the chest. He carried a gun and had a federal ID card and an official-looking badge. And perhaps most importantly, he was sturdily built and clean-cut. According to the mayor “He was everything that you’d think a federal officer would be”.

Except, that he was a fake.

The subterfuge might have gone on longer except that the “agent” started doing drug busts without search warrants. But did that make police suspicious? No, it took a reporter from the local (weekly) newspaper to call up the local sheriff and ask him if he knew anything about this agent.
