Yesterday, I had the joyful opportunity to pick up my daughter and grandkids at the airport. We waited at the arrival area for about 20 minutes because we were a bit early.

The airport had the TV in that room tuned to MSNBC. It was about 5 pm. It was agony. I had to listen to tripe from some ruddy complected male talking head. He was all over Bush/Cheney for the Iraqi Invasion and the WMDs. He was absolutely clueless. If he said “lied about WMDs” once, he said it a dozen times in those agonizing 20 minutes that I had to wait in that public area. When others were distracted, I even looked to see if there were controls on the TV, but...no. I looked for a phone number but we were underground and I wasn’t getting the internet on my cell phone.

Pure torment listening. As you say, they absolutely are not ashamed of their propaganda.

I’ll say it for the gazillionth time. The GOP screams at EVERYTHING so, consequentially, nobody cares. Add to that the utterly inept investigation by Issa and, well, neither this nor Benghazi is going anywhere.

When trying a case you have to pick and choose. If you throw in everything, the jury no longer cares. You emphasize your strengths.

But. The GOP doesn’t ask me for my advice so ...

I think the American people are outraged but there is so much coming down from all sides they get worn out. That is the Alinsky and Cloward Piven plan. It actually works quite well. The country is spiraling out of control which is gong to only end one way. And its not going to be an Article V convention.

Where's the Outrage?

An outrage placed atop an existing outrage placed atop a previous outrage that was placed atop a previous outrage that was placed atop a previous outrage, etc, etc, etc, may be difficult to locate ... but it is there.

The MSM gins up outrage - - or they don’t.

The MSM’s NOT ginning up outrage because they’re biased and one-sided. They’re ON THE SIDE of the IRS because the IRS is hurting conservatives.

That’s why there’s no outrage... low information types get their news from the MSM ... the MSM doesn’t care.

Low information types were never told to be outraged. So they’re not. Because they’re stupid.

And the MSM’s vile.

It’s that simple.

Time for 61 seats in the senate before the country collapses or is conquered by foreign enemies.

Terry Moran dubbed it a "truly Nixonian abuse of power by the Obama administration."

Nixon had NOTHING on Obama... When Jonathan Turley calls the Obama regime an "Imperial Presidency," you know Barky has gone WAY off the reservation.... "Nixonian?" Hell, Obama is "Calligulan!"

Let’s not forget that this is the agency that we are supposed to trust to manage our health care accounts!
