[Political Observation by Castle Denizen: Boquisucio]
When a TIN-HORNED DICTATOR south of the border strong-arms a national referendum, so as to allow himself to become dictator-for-life, our valiant bureaucrats in The State Department spring into action. Do they raise heckles in condemnation, do they draught regulations restricting exports to such country? Nah – They promptly rise to their Birkenstock-shod feet and APPLAUD HIS AUDACITY FOR HOPE, of course.
No wonder The State Department sits in Foggy Bottom.

My reaction is unprintable, WTF is the lest offensive I have...
Just one more thing to add to my "I cannot believe this is really happening... and my elected officials ARE OK WITH IT' list.
The world loses another country to a dictatorship, a similar one has cost an absolute fortune to fix and they clap their hands?
So, Dan Rather is working for DoS, now?
He didn't leave China until after Pearl Harbor.
His pronouncement of US diplomats in asia at that time? Those what weren't in love with Mao were true blue Stalinists.
This got ever worse under the FDR admin. We saw much the same thing with Clintonistas during the '90s and we'll see it again even worse now with the Obamanard.
