I thought Jewish holy people were not particularly into the idea of Jesus as Son of God? That is surely a Christian deviation from Jewish orthodoxy.

For me Obama represents just how far we have fallen when it comes to holding powerful people to account for their crimes. Nixon was impeached for far less than the accusations being levelled against Obama. Heck, they even tried to impeach Clinton over a bit of nookie. And yet Obama can just get away with serious crimes against humanity? The impeach word is barely on the radar. It is quite astonishing. Or perhaps it isn't at all when you accept just how far standards have fallen. Accountability is a word that does not compute and the word reflection does not exist.

We live in an age where powerful people do not get punished. You can commit war crimes, invade countries just like Adolf Hitler did, allow the entire financial system to collapse without any prosecutions, you can drone countries and walk in and kidnap people, you can spy on the private communications of anyone. Now why is Edward Snowden a man without a passport, and Obama a man who gets away with actual murder, torture, and mass surveillance on an unheard of scale, still there quite content in The White House?

The US media is generally speaking quite appalling and that is one the prime reasons. They won't hold people to account for their crimes and instead party with the whistleblower witchhunts. Julian Assange in an embassy, Snowden in Russia. What a joke. You have government figures and Obama himself telling lies on a daily basis. The America media simply won't pursue it. It is a free media in name only, the same in Britain too obviously with the authorities latest threats to ban Snowden stories and the actual destruction of Guardian computers.

Just ridiculous. Then you have have flustered Dave and his absolute refusal to answer any questions on this. It is constantly 'I won't discuss issues of national security'. Basically, what he is saying is that he knows he is wrong and thinks the government can have a monopoly on your private life and get away with it. The national security line is a false one, you are more like to be hit by a car, shot in the head, and fall off your bicycle on the same day than ever have your life taken by a terrorist.
