Clinton & Clapper, 2 lies, different outcomes

[Raptor Witness]

What's worse, lying to the American people about a private affair in the Oval Office, or lying about the government sucking the private affairs out of every American?

How can one white lie under oath lead to an impeachment hearing for a sitting President, while a giant black lie under oath is ignored as if it's nothing to worry about?

Can the private affairs of hundreds of millions be valued so much less than for one man?

How can the spirit of the law be tilted so greatly, as to not to be viewed as an example of tyranny?

If we will allow this disparity in our judgment, without so much as a whimper, then what will keep us safe from another great liar, like Hitler?

I see both actions as separate waypoints on a common downward spiral. Hang on - the pace is increasing.

The entire United States has become a flock of tinsy winsy ostriches, only instead of burying their heads, their entire bodies are covered, such that escape seems impossible.

What can save U.S. but a wind so great, as to blow the sand on top of Washington, D.C. so deep that it will take a thousand years for the mole rats to dig their way out.

Sticking your head in the sand, and ignoring the problem, is not going to make that problem "magically" disappear, either...
