Bureaucrats “Giddy” With “Newly Minted Power”

Thanks for posting this, I’ve been telling people since Obama won it was not about taxes - the way he would REALLY spread the wealth around is through bureaucracies....their pay, their benefits, and their ablity to fine and confiscate as well as regulate.

“ITS THE BUREAUCRATS STUPID”

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

As it turned out, the negative reaction to Armendariz’s statement was so widespread that he was forced to resign from the EPA shortly thereafter.

And the agents and the officer should have been arrested and should still be arrested. This stuff is not over just because they left.

That flawed document and it's silly 4th Amendment.

All hail Dear Leader, shooter of skeet.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

It was reported that the paramilitary-style raid had been ordered due to defaulted student loans of Wright’s estranged wife, who, incidentally, no longer lived at the Wrights’ residence and was not there at the time of the raid.

More who should be arrested.

The feds are “nudging” us to see how far they can go.

[dadfly]

ah yes, the dear leader needs a personal army to enforce his edicts. those who are now under attack, peacefully resist lawless government. those who are not yet under attack, peacefully help those who resist.

“we shall all hang seperately if we don’t hang together.”

Yes, our federal bureaucrats have been very diligent. The website informs us of their daily productivity of regulations over the past 90 days:

Today (121)

Last 3 Days (274)

Last 7 Days (371)

Last 15 Days (826)

Last 30 Days (1,915)

Last 90 Days (5,934)

Dept of Ed has SWAT teams? HC. HS. Hadn’t heard that. OMG.

[Jonty30]

What needs to be done, aside from reigning or eliminating these bureaucracies, is that the individual government employees need to be sued as individuals who are abusing their power.

Perhaps, if a few mult-million dollar judgement is awarded from these individual bureaucrats, it will start to make a difference.

The feds are “nudging” us to see how far they can go.

When they start 'nudging' people with nothing left to lose, I see dead people. Lots of them.

A county sheriff defended a rancher against federal thugs. The sheriff told the bureaucrats that if they came back, they would be arrested. The federal thug told the sheriff that he’d send a federal SWAT team to arrest him. The sheriff fired back that his SWAT team would meet the fed’s SWAT team, and we’ll see how it turns out. The fascist feds ran away and never returned.

Elect a constitutional sheriff in your county to protect your family and your property. It’s critical for your security. Incidents like Waco need never happen again if your sheriff can muster a battalion of armed auxiliary deputies for “emergencies.”

This really should be brought up during this whole gun debate, why does the EPA,BLM, Department of Education.....ect need a SWAT team? Especially armed with the same weapons that they want to ban.

[Carriage Hill]

I can almost hear their BS replies:

“Fine for me, but not for thee.”

[bbernard]

Especially if the person that has nothing left to lose has a .50caliber Barrett. Is there a bulletproof vest that stops such a round? Just sayin. I think it sucks that the government is forcing these discussions.

"The sheriff fired back that his SWAT team would meet the fed’s SWAT team, and we’ll see how it turns out."

The Free States need to have their SWAT teams ready to take on Obama's various Brownshirts.

there was a great show on cable about Waco recently. astounding example of mainly good people in an incredibly badly managed beaurocracy run wild.

i hope every federal agent is trained on Waco.
