WASHINGTON -- As soon as the Constitution permitted him to run for Congress, Al Salvi did. In 1986, just 26 and fresh from the University of Illinois law school, he sank $1,000 of his own money, which was most of his money, into a campaign to unseat an incumbent Democratic congressman. Salvi studied for the bar exam during meals at campaign dinners.

Lerner, it is prudent to assume, is one among thousands like her who infest the regulatory state. She is not just a bureaucratic bully and a slithering partisan; she also is a national security problem, because she is contributing to a comprehensive distrust of government.

I'd say tens of thousands, and growing every day.

No one should ever trust a leftist and the Federal government since the Jimmy Carter days has been totally infested with leftists.

To them, power is all about rewarding friends and punishing enemies. They could give a s*** less about the Republic.

Well now, see, with Holder controlling all the various hammers at Justice, and Fascist freaks like Lerner running regulatory bodies of the fed, and dykes like Nappy Pole dancer commanding a growing army of thugs at little barry bastard boy’s disposal, the rulers really don’t give a damn whether you and I give our consent. We are ruled now, our consent is no longer necessary, as the pirate Roberts The Shameful has demonstrated in authorizing unconstitutional laws reaching the level of open tyranny.

Guillotines from orbit, it’s the only way to be certain.

Good catch. Will exposes himself here as the beltway dinner party denizen he is.

Behind bars?

I can’t believe she’s still breathing!

How many livelihoods can you threaten or ruin before somebody goes over the edge?

Lois Lerner’s despicable reputation precedes her at the IRS. She did the same intimidating dirty work at the FEC before switching her criminal activity to the IRS. She’s more than a liberal bureaucrat. She’s a DemoRAT party political operative within the agencies of the government performing their dirty tricks against their political opponents. This lady needs to go to jail for the federal laws she has violated in the name of the US government.

There is a reason he is untouchable. Many in the MSM are married to either people in his office or another liberal politician.

The list of prominent news people with close White House relations includes ABC News President Ben Sherwood, who is the brother of Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, a top national-security adviser to President Obama. His counterpart at CBS, news division president David Rhodes, is the brother of Benjamin Rhodes, a key foreign-policy specialist. CNN’s deputy Washington bureau chief, Virginia Moseley, is married to Tom Nides, who until earlier this year was deputy secretary of state under Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Further, White House press secretary Jay Carney’s wife is Claire Shipman, a veteran reporter for ABC. And NPR’s White House correspondent, Ari Shapiro, is married to a lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, who joined the White House counsel’s office in April.

Fortunately, libs aren’t so good about staying married to the same person for the rest of their lives. Just wait until divorces start popping up and then more scandals are going to emerge.

Weak.

Since when is trust in the government a good thing?

We should trust that rules and laws are fairly, evenly and impartially enforced and conformed to.

That those organization that have the power to say “No” do so with no partisan animus.

But, knowing that man is what man is we must always fight the tensions between us of Republican ideals which may not always suit others and Democrat ideals which likewise are not envied attributes of say, my team.

Then again, the rules and laws ought to be such that we can correct mistakes like the covert partisans and remove them as barriers to real fairness:

“That are treated equal under the law and the laws are equally enforced so that no man is diminished because of the or elevated above another despite them.”

Hell, I think I just wrote something special there...or maybe I am remembering someone else’s writing by wrote.

yeah, Lois is not behind bars but that guy who made that YouTube video has been sitting in a cell for 9 months now. It’s all so crazy.

Well written my friend.

I hate it when an article promises more but is actually a few weeks behind FR.

But then this deserves all the attention it can get, so carry on.

Excellent. Bring Lying Lynching Lois Lerner back to the Senate and force her to take the fifth again.
