Thanks, dino for the link. I'll have to find that book, sounds really interesting. I, too, like "kick-butt" fiction.

NO surprise in anything this administration does any more. Actually, I haven't been surprised by their actions since "o" was elected. Just waiting to see what the next affront to the "rule of law" will be.

A long time ago, I heard a phrase which seems to fit these times under this administration. "Blessed is he who expects the worst, for he shall not be disappointed". Don't know where I heard it or saw it, but it just seems to fit perfectly with the current state of affairs of this nation.

you would like Heinlein's "The Moon Is A Harsh
Mistress" -- fine example of societal imagination. -- j

normal bs these days;;; our govt is sh!t. -- j

Well, I filed my State taxes and for the first time in years it was "selected" for manual review: "It will take 10 weeks at least, assuming you comply with all requests for more information" That was 6 weeks ago. Maybe all the acidic comments about our corrupt state got me on the "special attention" list. Lucky I filed using Block and got the "worry free audit support". Idiots.

Could you imagine the difference in our Government if Sarah Palin was our President??? At least as Governor, she had no trouble convicting corrupt politicians from both sides of the isle...

I do not think that "corrupt" really describes DOJ fully.

Racial Agenda Driven has become their face far more than simply corrupt in my opinion.

Ya know, they are so RAD :P

What else would anyone expect from a corrupt DOJ, in fact, from a corrupt government? I figure they had to let her off since she got her orders from the White House. If she was put on the spot she might talk and it could implicate someone from the White House. The White House should be renamed to The Big House. That's what it is today.

Unintended Consequences is indeed one hell of a read!

I feel screwed, blewed, and tattooed. The Washington Aristocraps sure look out for one another. They are above the law. The next one to get away with misdeeds will be Harry Reid, as being a part of the latest Democrat scandal. One will get you two that he walks while his partners in crime might as well lie down in the gutter and let the bus roll over them.

I know, should have put a smile face in or something so my sarcasm and jab would have come through better.

Thanks for the post

Lack of action is an action. Nearly always an evil one.

I had a discussion about Social Security with my dad (87) about two weeks ago. He talked about how he paid into it so he had it coming. Which is a regular statement from him. I pushed a button in me.

I stated he had it coming, until he did nothing to stop the government from spending it on something else. Today his money was stolen by the government, so now he has to steal from and his other working children to get his. If I want mine, I will have to steal it from my kids or someones, to get it.

He did not take well to it, was rather upset. On Monday we celebrated his 87th birthday. At that time he told me I was right, and then asked my older bother by 15 years if he was going start stealing from his kids in 3 years. My brother had no idea what my dad was saying.

Until people are willing to walk away from the money that is all ready really lost, the cycle will continue and get worse until we can no longer pay them through the process of theft the money that was stolen a generation ago.

I am working towards not taking social security at all, it will be ruff but if I do not do it who will.

Here, then, is the link.

In 2005 I put an addition on my house. I was required to go to the school district office and pay a $1500 development fee. To this I did not object as I had three sons in the school district. So off I went with check book in hand. I told the personnel there, as I wrote the check, that now I wished I could go over to the local Police and Sheriff’s Departments, the Fire Department, and the local Military bases and pay my FEEs directly to them!

I second EW’s idea of a separate post to develop this idea.

post intended to reply to Temlakos. Reposted there.

I go to the mailbox, bring in my mail, sit, go through the envelops, see another obvious donation request by the GOP and I toss it into the trash unopened.
This has been going on for some time. Reasons not to open mail sent by the GOP only keep piling up.

What I find totally disgusting is that if the other party gets into the executive position after the next election they will drop everything and not pursue this criminal faction. I suspect that it is a "tit for tat" informal agreement (I would say "a gentleman's agreement", but few of them truly can be trusted and therefore, are not gentlemen.) So that if the tide turns again, the Dems will not go after the Repubs' criminal acts.

Ha! That did not occur to me.
You are correct.

And the cover up continues.

Slow is how you get out of being sucked down into a petroleum tar pit--if at all.

Would not matter Obama would have pardoned her anyhow.

What has become of "American today" is really quite sad.
It's like a wannabe dictatorship yearning to take that one last step.
Our Founding Fathers would weep.

I meant the purpose of what "todays" government hs degenerated to, not what government should be

Exactly... and by doing so (or not doing so) these 'good' people are no longer 'good'. IMO.
