When the definitive work on The Rise and Fall of the United States is finally written, and it may not be that far off, there will be a full chapter on the IRS and other government agencies that have become massive empires in their own right, bigger than most of the world’s nations, and run with little supervision or restraint. There are obviously no checks and balances inside these agencies. Full article here
======================================================================
To prove he really meant it when he vowed to have the most transparent regime in history, Obama has requested of Eric Holder that he appoint Eric Holder to investigate Eric Holder. Obama wants this paragon of moral authority to investigate why he investigated the media, which Eric Holder says he can't remember doing. This should resolve any conflict of interest. Maybe he'll forget to appoint himself. Either way, Holder will be assisted in his probe by the same crack team of investigators that probed Fast and Furious, which Holder says he has no knowledge of either.
Meanwhile, Obama urges passage of a media shield law he strenuously opposed to shield the media from Eric Holder, who'll be back at it once he completes his self-investigation and clears himself of any wrong doing. Another law for Holder to ignore. It should do the trick!
Obama now claims he doesn't want Holder treating regular reporting as a criminal act, only the stuff Faux News is doing. So brazen has been Obama's attempt to gag the media that even NBC News has noticed it. It now acknowledges that Holder personally signed off on the search warrant targeting Fox News's James Rosen, suspected of plotting and inciting news reporting. Holder already told Congress he's recused himself from attempts by his Department to criminalize reporters, so the warrant must've been signed by his deputy, Autopen.
Autopen personally OK'd the warrant, then went ahead and personally seized Rosen's emails from his private Gmail account, seized his personal phone records, his work phone records, his parents' phone records, including call detail records, then fought to keep the warrant secret. You wonder how Autopen can sleep at night. But good luck trying to haul its bony little arse before Issa's Committee, Autopen'll just take the Fifth. In fact, it has declined to comment on the case altogether.
The interesting thing about all this lame-o 'plausible deniability' jazz is that none of it is plausible. Whether it's Benghazi, IRS or press snooping, so outlandishly implausible the denials seem in most cases, Juan Williams believes them. But no one else, and that's the point. Benghazi talking points undergo a dozen major revisions magically. Consulate burns down, but not to worry, Obama swiftly finds the real cause from reading 'My Pet Scapegoat, a YouTube Video'. Holder's near total memory loss. IRS head honcho Doug Shulman's 118 White House stopovers for Easter Egg Rolls. The Cincinnati 'low-level' IRS rogues. Every servile Obama lackey from Treasury to chief of staff to White House Counsel to down-the-hallway office groupie gets wind of IRS's targeting scandal except Obama. Even if you assume Obama's just filling out the role of frontman, no need to know, there just to read speeches and fundraise, with all the string-pulling by president Valerie Jarrett, it's hard to stitch together a 'plausible deniability' scenario for any of this without cracking up.
Anyway, that's ...

“How charming - and predictable.”
As are all corrupt administrations.
What we saw last week in that hearing room was a chilling face on the body of one of those agencies. Like an ugly white supremacist or Islamic terrorist stepping out of a website, here was a woman who makes her victims cower in shame, who laughs in their faces when they declare their innocence.
Like her victims, she was openly declaring her innocence to us. And then in open mockery she invoked the very Constitution she has targeted. “Screw you. Screw accountability. Screw the U.S. Congress. Screw the U.S. Constitution. Long live the IRS.”
Lois Lerner - the hateful face of every two bit thug that ever forced a boot on to the face of an innocent human being. Eff 'em.

You 1st, since you supporting this hypothesis.
Well no, me 1st.
This country has survived and thrived despite the Red Coats invading us twice. “Thanks Brits with bad teeth. Your cute uniforms made targeting you so much easier.
We survived a Civil War, two world wars and no one says With”Seig Hail”.
We have seemingly made a good go of it despite FDR the, Korea and Vietnam. Abject failures in our commitment to Liberty for all but, there it is.
Still, we survived an idiotic Malaise and further, some pick, rapist from the sticks of Arkansas .
Hells Bells!!!
We’re Americans Damnit.
We’re gonna be fine.
We’re an indomitable spirit and we’ll right this ship in the next three years.
I’m predicting we increase our numbers in the House next and Senate in the next two cycles.
We need to find an unassailable leader who won’t bend and has a specific plan and message and then we womp these Commits and reverse their agenda on a good many fronts, while stifling them on others.
If you keep looking at the ground you’ll never have to wonder why you keep falling.
Look up and forward. March on, even on days you keep wonder if you ate condemned like Sisyphus.
Move that rock.
She's the best thing (’poster child of big lib government’) that ever happened to the GOP and those of us who mistrust government power: here taking the 5th and paid leave was perfect, perfect ammunition to use.
The last (prior) two years of GOP screw-ups and losing has been very discouraging. Recall a year ago the GOps big winning argument against Dems and Obamacare was that Obama forced employers to give women employees free birth control, a complete loser.
Now they and we got a real argument with a face who cant be easily fired to get out of Obama’s way: Lois
God love you!
I LOVE an optimist!
First, I don’t support this hypothesis. ;o)
Thank you for such an uplifting post! I wholeheartedly support this...
“We’re Americans Damnit.

;o)
It’d be great if my phone could spell what I’m thinking too.
” She’s the best thing (’poster child of big lib government’) that ever happened to the GOP and those of us who mistrust government power: here taking the 5th and paid leave was perfect, perfect ammunition to use.”
A fairly intelligent 16 year old could run with this.
LOL!!!!
Great cover,
If I see that at the store I will buy a couple just to tweak libs here.
I got one at the grocery. I was wondering if the checkout people would do a double take but they didn’t seem to notice.
I think it’s still on the racks.
” Great cover,

I bought 4 : )
