QotD: Subversive Edition

As the Chicago politics writ large continue to play out on the national scene, ToddG notes:

There's a term for someone who works from within the government to undermine morale and readiness at a time of war. That term isn't supposed to be President.

Caleb said...: In two sentences, Todd effectively summed up the administration's policies towards our war fighters and veterans.

It was also, as I said on PF, a pretty sick burn.; 12:57 PM, October 09, 2013

I wish I was wrong. But I know I am right.; 1:32 PM, October 09, 2013

Fuzzy Curmudgeon said...: Limit the president to one term of 6 years, followed by a mandatory term of 6 years at hard labor in the Dry Tortugas.

Or something like that. You get my drift.; 4:23 PM, October 09, 2013

Beautiful. And tragic.; 4:43 PM, October 09, 2013
Joe in PNG said...: I like it. Add in the possibility of a vote of no confidence from Congress after two years, followed by an immediate public retention vote.; 4:44 PM, October 09, 2013
mikee said...: If possible, could we make it the law that halfway through the president's term, and the terms of Congress, all taxpayers must vote approval of the current occupants of office, or a new election be held within 4 weeks?

Limiting it to taxpayers might be the key to getting, and keeping, the right people in office.; 5:11 PM, October 09, 2013

I can't disagree with the principle. We require judges to recuse themselves from cases they have personal or financial involvement with, after all.; 3:58 PM, October 11, 2013
