While dumbfuck bloggers (and the scared men in clown shoes they unwaveringly support) have demonized proponents of the rule of law as shrill, far-left terrorist supporters, a long and growing line of career military officers and Republican political appointees have taken real action inside government to push back against our Pinochet-style administration.
