As homicidal, sociopathic and bat shit crazy as Dick Cheney is, his audacity is front & center for one reason and one reason only: Barack Obama is absolutely committed, heart and soul, to assuring the "rule of law" is never applied to Bush, Cheney and their unindicted war criminal support system.
Obama, who lies every time he opens his duplicitous mouth, bears the blame for doing everything in his power to make sure the rule of law applies exclusively to the most powerless citizens. The governing elite are free to do as they wish, how they wish, when they wish. The rest of us are chattel.
So, by all means, condemn Dick Cheney. He deserves it.
And, while you're at it, reserve some contempt for the other serial liar who has repeatedly excused the crimes of the worst of the worst by obstinately refusing to uphold his oath of office. That isn't spinelessness. It takes a lot of spine to tsk-tsk-tsk citizens for asserting that all men are equal under the law.
To hell with Dick Cheney and the rest of the cabal, including Obama and his myopic disciples.
The Republic is deader than Thomas Paine. And no American citizen owes its replacement a single goddamn thing.
