No problem. Now that it’s shown just what the IRS is capable of, get a sales tax and eliminate income tax and shrink the bureaucracy.

We should just assume Obama was behind it. If no one wants to talk, than the assumption stands.

Remember after 911 the government closed the airports for two days to revamp security. This time the government wants thirty days to investigate itself and develop an excuse to tell the People for the IRS criminal activity. The activity began in 2010. Anyone with a brain knows why and who set this as policy, and yes, this was/is policy.

I am sure that is true, but unfortunately, not one person will ever face the music.

They aren’t co-operating at all.

And it isn’t just the IRS.

It is essentially the entire government gone rogue, and it is flaunting the fact that no one can touch it right in our faces.

What’s more is that half the country foolishly supports this, and wrongly believes these people are on their side, but the fact of the matter is those people are being used as useful idiots. As long as they have something that is needed, a vote, then they will be catered to.

But once that vote is no longer needed, they will then be useless idiots, and they will be left to starve.

The news of the past few...days, months years, I don’t even know...has been very trying for me. It’s one thing after another, none of it good, expect the nice old lady who found her dog in the rubble, that was good.

But it feels like things are coming to some sort of point. If those in power are answerable to no one, then how can they be made to answer anything at all?

If a man is allowed to get away with anything he does, then what happens, for example, at the end of a man’s term and the beginning of another, someone says to the man, sir, your time is over it’s time to go, and the man says no, my time has just begun, it’s time for you to go?

I can just here a familiar voice on the radio saying the nation will not tolerate his being dragged from office, even if he is supposed to go, they just won’t, it’s not going to happen...

Maybe I am just on edge, maybe I have gone crazy, but these are trying times, and I fear that they have just begun.

An admittedly rough comparison to "striking" IRS officials, but this issue brings to mind President Reagan firing striking air traffic controllers.
This week in history: Ronald Reagan fires 11,345 air traffic controllers

Whats truly dysfunctional is if this were a Republican admin then half the country would feel the same, only the other half.
Is that repairable?

Maybe am wrong but have noticed Rush has been different lately in the manner of addressing the actions by our government by / of Rush’s words. Strange times.

you are correct. Maybe the realization is beginning to set in for many that thought 1 in 5 odds was on the low side. Now it becomes a few unanswered questions and where do the first sparks (the sparks are there) ignite the first fuses. Don’t know here ... just speculating.

On another thread some are totally trashing Rush.

What I hear Rush saying is not deserving of being trashed. I might not like it, or want to hear it, but if you listen closely to all of it and not just a few words by themselves, what he’s saying is, he doesn’t think the American people - the low information voter - will hold Obama accountable for anything.

Rush has this theory that Obama pretends to not really be in charge of anything that’s going wrong. And makes ignorant people think he’s trying to stop bad things and trying to fix what’s wrong. And he’s getting away with pretending that.

So Rush says, quit hoping Obama will be blamed, instead simply blame big government liberals and the Democrat party, which is true anyway. They ARE to blame, not just Obama.

Treat it like the festering pus pocket it is.

Fire anyone even remotely connected with the wrongdoing, with the stipulation that they never have another government job.

If that doesn't get all the corruption, cut out another chunk.

My concern is are we watching the imploding of our ‘entire’ government system? Not that we haven’t been aware of the corruption...but if someone wanted to bring down this country fast...make the people hate and despise their government so much they rise up against it entire....

Despite the corruption we NEED our government...if it falls you can be sure “something” will fill the void....like the International Global Governance they are attempting to position all nations for???????....now that’s a chilling thought!!!!

Sometimes I think all these scandals are part of their ploy.....look at all the eastern nations that have fallen....what did they do first...they riled up the nations ‘people’ to oppose their government.

I do not have a good feel about all this....
