Black helicopter alert ...

You know how the conservatives are afraid the progressives are beginning the 'New World Order', you know, "black helicopters" and "The world governed from the UN" and "foreign troops patrolling American streets". Well, thanks to SCOTUS, we'll have foreigners messing with our political system ... legally.

...

What's that old adage? Beware of the unintended consequences. Clearly, that's something that neither the Supreme Court nor the Republican Party factored in before crowing about the heinous Citizens United v. FEC ruling last week.

For all his high-falutin' talk of free speech and transparency and being able to face down those big bullying unions, it has apparently never occurred to Sen. Jim DeMint that SCOTUS just opened doors to multi-national corporations--i.e. FOREIGNERS--meddling in our elections.


...


Well, it looks like the conservatives have taken the first step down that road.
