Big Brother: The government we entrust our medical records to under ObamaCare has its EPA sharing confidential data on farmers with green groups and the IRS reading your email. Smile and wave at the EPA drone.
The Environmental Protection Agency has acknowledged that it released personal information on potentially thousands of farmers and ranchers to environmental groups, violating their privacy rights and acting in collusion with private groups with private political agendas.
In Nixonian fashion, the EPA has provided these environmental groups with the dossiers of farmers it has gathered to help them create an enemies list of potential polluters. The agency acknowledged the information included individual names, email addresses, phone numbers and personal addresses.
The EPA claimed the data were related to farms in 29 states with "concentrated animal feeding operations" and that the released information was part of the agency's commitment to "ensure clean water and public-health protection."
How? By giving environmental groups the identities and addresses of those they need to pressure?
"This information details my family's home address," J.D. Alexander, a Nebraska cattle farmer and former president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, told FarmFutures.com. "The only thing it doesn't do is chauffeur these extremists to my house."
Recently we editorialized on how Nebraska's congressional delegation had sent a justifiably angry letter to then-EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson complaining that her agency had exceeded its legislative and constitutional authority by conducting drone surveillance flights over Nebraska and Iowa farms looking for Clean Water Act violations.
"They are just way on the outer limits of any authority they've been granted," said Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb.

Any envronmental freaks who show up on our ranch will be entitled to become one with nature. Permanently.
Thus eliminating them from their fellow polluters. And also the gene pool keeping them from procreating and raising like minded chirrens. And how would they have arrived at your location wearing the latest synthetic designer wear from patagonia or rei or some other major protector of the earth. Just not from their products. Liars and cheats.
Our government has basically gone rogue and totally out of control. Civil wars have been fought over less.
One part of fascist government shares data with another part. Ho hum. The public goes back to watching Kim Kardashain and two and a half a$$holes.

So? What’s new for this communists King Obama and his communists organization. Behind Americans having fun is looming a dictatorship. Wake up America. Both parties are at fault.
The current gov’t has usurped the constitution.
Maybe the likes of Rubio will fight the usurpers, still quite a few think he will, don’t hold your breath, he was bought and paid for while he was still on the campaign trial...what a shame this mess we are in, is there anyone in the gov’t who cares enough to speak the truth...even those I thought might be hero’s, now just speak empty words of compromise.
Wow.

We need to balance the budget quickly in this country before its too late.
I would shut down the EPA completely (a 100 percent cut in spending).
There are state agencies to do environmental regulation.
The same would happen to that other Nixon era monstrosity called OSHA. OSHA should be 100 percent cut with state agencies taking over its function.
As for the IRS, cut it 50 percent for now until tax reform would make it virtually extinct.
BTTT
