How the Obama Administration Defended DEA Agents Who Put a Gun to a Little Girl's Head

I wonder what the Obama administration would have said if DEA agents broke down the door to the president's house in a mistaken drug raid and told his two young daughters to "get on the fucking ground" while pointing a gun at their heads, dragging them to the floor and handcuffing them. The reaction probably would not have been that the agents' actions were "plainly reasonable", as in this case with the 11 and 14 year old Avina sisters.

Omnipotent Moral Busybodies

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
