Obama hasn't even taken office and he and his gang are acting like the Stalinists they are. This is especially noticeable in the way they are treating each other. Mr. Burris is appointed by a sitting governor, in accordance with the Illinois constitution, and the Democrat leader of the U.S. Senate orders the sergeant at arms of the Senate to deny his credentials. They don't care if he's black, they don't care if he's pure, they don't care if he's "qualified." Stalin, during the Great Terror, didn't care about these things, either. The point was that if they weren't toeing the particular Stalinist line of the moment, which could change at any moment, they were the enemy. Period, end of statement, no if's, and's or but's.
And incidentally, the law doesn't matter, either, any more in our country than it did in the Soviet Union. The Supreme Court ruled in the Adam Clayton Powell case several decades ago that if the candidate was constitutionally qualified, he must be seated, whether or not a ministerial act like signing by the state attorney general is lacking. Is there now a good faith argument for some exception or extension that should apply to Burris? Anyone?
And let's not forget Al Franken, "the spiteful troll," as the Great Mark Levin calls him. He and his party cronies in Minnesota have apparently brazenly stolen the Senate election in Minnesota right in front of everybody's eyes.
In all these instances, the end justifies the means, and the end is simply and exclusively power.

This is not directly related to your comment, but I just watched a video called World War II: When Lions Roared (obtained through Netflix), which presented an interesting perspective on WWII. The entire drama was dialogue between Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin. Michael Caine played Stalin and was remarkably credible. It didn't portray him as a full-fledged monster, but he certainly came of as a hard-nosed dealer who did not consider honesty a virtue when it came to statecraft. Worth watching.
. . . or when it came to anything else, for that matter.
