Tipsheet Obama's Criminalization of Politics Tom DeLay | September 29, 2008 4:50 PM Advertisement "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." - Edmund BurkeAs someone who has been attacked by a rabidly liberal partisan prosecutor Advertisement and who is quite aware of what prosecutors are able to get away with, I can tell you that criminalizing politics is exactly what the Obama camp intends to do. I wrote about this ridiculous phenomenon from a first hand account in my book: [# More #] It was Winston Churchill who once said, “In war a man dies only once, but in politics many times.” No one who enters public office is surprised by this anymore.

In the meantime, church pastors are desperate to remove the muzzle that is keeping them from sharing political views that - gasp! - happen to apply to the direction our nation's leaders may take us.
