"The fact is that a man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous."  –Machiavelli

Well, now we know.  Now it is certain.  James Comey, the man so many on both sides of the aisle were once quick to defend as non-partisan, seems to be owned and controlled by establishment bigwigs.  He does their bidding; today the left, tomorrow the right, next day the left.  His head must be spinning on his neck.

He is allegedly a fervent Catholic.  So why can he not tell the difference between right and wrong?  Isn't that an essential ingredient to religious belief?  The ability to recognize evil? 

"It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver." –Machiavelli

The Clintons are notoriously and obviously corrupt.  Everyone knows this, even those on the left.  But they excuse their corruption because they are leftists.  For progressives, being on the left trumps morality, trumps right over wrong.  For the left, Trump must be trumped by any means necessary.  Our media have become Orwellian in their fervor to demean and defeat Donald Trump.  They are willingly prostrating themselves on the altar of deceit to put Hillary Clinton in the White House.  Why?  She is so manifestly the most corrupt candidate ever to run for the office.  What's in it for them?  Only victory.  And a Pyrrhic victory it will be if she is elected.  The woman has no idea how to be president.  She has failed dismally in every government position she has held.  As revealed in Podesta's emails, even her own staff thinks "she has terrible instincts."  Indeed she does.  She advocates welcoming a five-hundred-percent increase in Middle Eastern refugees to the U.S.?  Check out Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the U.K.  Not a good idea.  Free college tuition?  This will further bankrupt our bankrupt nation, as anyone remotely cognizant of basic economics knows.  Hillary will complete the destruction of the United States as founded.

James Comey knows this as well as every other person in the FBI and the DOJ.  But apparently he does not care.

The Clintons are famous for amassing information on people to use if needed.  They are the mafia in government clothing.  They use and abuse what they have on people.  The leaked Podesta emails revealed that they had something on Bernie Sanders that brought him to heel.  Then he bought a vacation house on an island. 

Our country is at a crossroads.  Will we continue to be a democratic republic, or will we be a tyrannous dictatorship like some of the nations of Central and South America?  The Obama administration has taken us halfway down that road.  Hillary will take us the rest of the way.  After four years of another Clinton administration, we will be edging toward Venezuela territory.

The left's antipathy toward energy, toward better lives for those in the Third World, and toward cheaper energy for us, is abhorrent.  They pretend that they know not what they do.  But they do know.  They just do not care.  The climate change eco-tyrants know that the planet has sustained itself for billions of years, that it has undergone climate changes long before man appeared on the earth.

James Comey's announcement that those 650K emails on Weiner's laptop amount to nothing was a tragic commentary on the state of our leadership.  Everyone knows that Mrs. Clinton is guilty of more than negligence.  She is a calculating, deceitful person.  She always has been.  She is the kind of person you teach your children to be wary of, to recognize and avoid in their personal lives.  She is the kind of politician you teach your children never to vote for.  And now Comey, who put some soft brakes on her ascent to the White House, has again given her a clean bill of health, as if anyone cares what he has to say at this point.  Everyone, everyone, knows she is an unscrupulous person with a history of criminal enterprise.  The saddest commentary is that so many people will vote for her anyway.
