Yet another reason not to trust the feds

Posted on May 20, 2013 | Comments Off on Yet another reason not to trust the feds

I’ve had an implicit faith in most of the federal government for most of my life. It didn’t even completely die when I was betrayed, as most Vietnam veterans were, by a government that never intended to win the war they conscripted us to fight.

But watching the partisan Democrat bureaucracy kowtow to President Choom has just been too much for me. Such as this recent discovery that the feds kept secret the surviving Boston bomber’s written confession that jihad was the reason for his killing and maiming hundreds in a Marathon crowd.

The confession conflicted with the Democrat narrative that the reason for the bombing was unknown, mysterious, an enigma. And federal agents (and the local cops) dutifully played along and hid the confession like good little puppets doing Barry’s bidding. The federal gumshoes have always cost more than they were worth. Now they are beneath contempt.

The new federal speech code

Posted on May 17, 2013 | Comments Off on The new federal speech code

While you’re being careful to vote the approved way, and whether and how you support Israel and what you say out loud about President Choom, if you happen to be a college student, the Department of “Justice” has a further warning just for you:

“The new mandate was revealed in a letter from the DOJ and DOE to the University of Montana that states ‘sexual harassment should be more broadly defined as ‘any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature,’ including  ‘verbal conduct.’ [Even sex jokes that might be overheard, got it?]

“The new rules apply to all colleges and universities receiving any sort of federal money, including Pell grants, federally backed student loans, and more. The letter contends the conduct in question need not be offensive to an ‘objectively reasonable person of the same gender in the same situation.’ That means that there is effectively no check on what might count as harassment.”

This goes against your First Amendment rights, you say? Good luck. The feds are a power unto themselves. I wouldn’t try to push your view too far unless you want the IRS to audit you. Or your parents.

Forget Watergate, Barry will skate

Posted on May 16, 2013 | 5 comments

Sure, his lawless regime is under fire, but I”m not letting it go to my head like J.D. is doing:

“…the death of a thousand cuts, where one tiny piece of damning information comes out at a time. The persistence of a very few investigating writers keeping the story simmering and slowly reaching a rolling boil…it’s spooky how it looks so much like Watergate.”

Except that the WaPo and the NYTimes led the charge on Watergate and the Democrat congress soon convened an impeachment investigation, on which Shillary, The Witch of Benghazi, did staff work, BTW.

Those newspapers will never dog the leader of the Choom Gang (who already is denying everything) and the Republicans don’t have the balls to impeach him. No way, no how.

And, while everyone’s distracted by the scandals, Republican Rubio & Co. will pass the amnesty immigration bill which, among other things, will create a new national I.D. card complete with photo for us all. Your papers, please.

I can hardly wait for the partisan Democrat IRS to start enforcing Obamacare.

Land of the free? Depends on your politics, bud. Better watch how you vote.

UPDATE:  Or, as PJMedia exec Roger L. Simon puts it:

“What we have now discovered about Barack Obama and Eric Holder’s America, if we didn’t already know it, is that any belief in a benign and decent government in this country is absolute horseshit. Liberalism has been revealed as a fascist joke.”

Capitalism can even fix federal stupidity

Posted on May 14, 2013 | Comments Off on Capitalism can even fix federal stupidity

I haven’t tried to pour gasoline from a gas can since the days when I still owned a sailboat with an outboard hanging off the transom. So I’d forgotten what the feds did to the gas can, in their usual bureaucratic stupidity, though I hear the ventless gas can actually was first developed in California. Oh, of course.

Nevertheless, there’s hope for the new non-illuminating light bulbs, not-very-flushable toilets, discoloring paint, too-soon-broken refrigerators, and the other junk Barry’s new socialist bureaucracy has, or plans to, foist on us.

Because this clever entrepreneur fixed the ventless gas can. Yep. It does require a new part and something else to fiddle with, but it’s only $1.65 at Amazon. So there’s obviously hope for America. Thanks to capitalism, King Pinocchio, capitalism.

Via Instapundit.

And let’s not forget capitalism’s share in Canadian Chris Hadfield’s brilliant music video from the ISS, updating David Bowie’s old song Space Oddity (“Ground control to Major Tom”), with a few alterations to the lyrics. It deftly relieves the Space Age of the boredom government control has brought it (minus the inevitable tragedies) ever since Russian Yuri Gagarin’s first solo.

King Pinocchio IS out to get you

Posted on May 14, 2013 | Comments Off on King Pinocchio IS out to get you

If, that is, you are a public critic of his increasingly lawless regime and the partisan bureaucracy it commands.

The IRS revelations, says Kentucky Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell, are “just the beginning of the story. This is no little thing. This is a big thing. The good news about it is they finally got caught.

“They finally messed with an agency everybody fully understands. When they try to quiet the critics through other agencies, it doesn’t get attention. This does. Everybody understands the IRS and how powerful they are. This is just one example of an administration-wide effort to silence critics.”

And when Mr. Hopenchange sics his “Justice” Department on the news media he already has on an ideological leash, you just know he’s not going to balk at collecting your cellphone records. So, for anything you want to hide, use a throw-away phone!

UPDATE:  Try not to be a Jew who supports Israel. And remember to pay no attention to anyone who warns you of government tyranny. They might be a crank.

Fair, just and brave

Posted on May 13, 2013 | Comments Off on Fair, just and brave

Can you apply these words to the American government? I can’t.

They no longer fit and not only because two of these three words have, incredibly, fallen out of fashion but because of Benghazi, Obamacare and the IRS scandal.

Whatever’s next ain’t gonna be pretty and all we can count on is that Obama and the missus will be on vacation.

UPDATE:  Now Barry’s “Justice” Department has been caught collecting the phone records of the Associated  Press. Even the compliant court media is not immune from Democrat government spying.

Hate crime hoaxes

Posted on May 12, 2013 | Comments Off on Hate crime hoaxes

Instead of federal gun control in the face of declining gun crimes and more tax money for the climate change boondoggle when global warming ceased sixteen years ago, how ’bout a mental health investigation of the curious wave of these instances of Leftist Progressive lying?

Have these self-proclaimed saviors of the world truly nothing better to do than conjure up phony hate crimes to confirm their agenda and, not incidentally, attract public pity for themselves?
