Justification and rationalization to skirt accountability are tools of the politician.

I was happy about the ACA decision, and I'm pissed about the Hobby Lobby decision. That makes me a hypocrite? What If I told you how pissed I was with the Kelo v. City of New London decision in 2005 where the liberal wing of the court decided 5-4 that the government had the right to condemn somebody's private real property if it was in the "best interests" of the community.
So tell me...according to you, am I now not a hypocrite? I sure hope so.  |
I don't believe in ends justifying the means. The ACA being instituted isn't what I am against. It is the way it was implemented that gets me. The fact that it was deemed constitutional under taxation purposes was just another fleecing. That is where the hypocrisy I am talking about comes from. The court is wonderful when they scam through what one is wanting, but then they are evil when they find in favor of what you don't like.
