History shows that government bureaucrats understand a gun in their face. And despite the multiple hand-wringers, various surrender monkeys and white flag-wavers on this website who think that federal bureaucrats are 10-ft tall Rambos, a gun in the face works.

Do me a favor and don’t be sending me stupid and incoherent missives of how brave and tough federal fascists are.

Hello, 2ndDivisionVet. Hope all is going well, FRiend..

Government bureaucrats have become America's caste of untouchables.

Um,, 'untouchables' when speaking of 'caste' are a group with ZERO power. Our bureaucrats are the opposite - liberal elites who think they're dukes and duchesses in some mythical royal court.

Term limits for government bureaucrats.

I have been screaming this for many years!

The real problem though is that the law enforcement part of government is part of the executive branch. If there were 4 branches of government (with Goudy in charge of law enforcement) Mr Obama would be back in a hut with his brother long ago, rather than being celebrated as a bronze king.......

I don’t like the fact that presidents appoint attorney generals but I’m not sure of how they should be chosen.

Put them in jail. That will stop this nonsense.

At a cocktail party back in the late 80’s, I struck up a chat with a fellow — his name was Joe M. — whom I’d met on one or two previous occasions.  After my first encounter, Joe’s neighbor and my boss at the time told me that Joe was an alcoholic who had just retired from 25 years with the IRS.  Needless to say, I was guarded in expressing my political views to Joe as the IRS had helped my dad into an early grave in 1977 — at age 59 over an estate matter.   Joe was pretty deep into his cups at the function in question and began telling IRS “war stories.” 

Most had to do with clear cases of criminal conduct by not very nice people.   Joe — who was a few years short of 60 — sounded to me like someone who enjoyed helping getting really bad people off the street and I asked why he’d retired early.  He told me that what he called “the service” had changed for the worse.  Then I asked him about the new people coming in.  He shook his head, actually teared up and said that many of them were “really bad.” I pressed.  “Really bad” meant incompetent?  “No — DANGEROUS,” he responded, “they like to hurt people.” 
 
It was then that I understood why Joe drank.
