No, Congressman, and it hasn’t been for a long, long time. Most of my 60+ years, in fact.

No wonder the government has been amassing weapons and ammunition. If I’d been doing what they have, I’d be nervous, too.

Obama armed the IRS and turned them into the “Brown Shirts” of the “Party”.

Again, foreign media reporting this stuff. The U.S. media? Writing love letters to Jay Carney (Jennifer Steinhauer - NYT).

Agreed... We haven’t seen the real America since the 1950s. It had partially gone away from decades of Constitutional abuse, but there still was a traditional America around during the 50’s. See my “about page”
I miss those days terribly.

Kevin Brady finally came alive. I’ve criticized him here on FR many times saying you need to put a mirror to his face to see if he is still alive.
He did his job today. It was a simple and good question but not one Steve Miller can answer or will answer.
To: Biggirl
It’s not a smack down if mere words are exchanged.
I am waiting for congress to do some smacking down. But they are for a large part, a bunch of ladyparts.

It's a corrupt agency with too much power that does not need to exists.
I'm tired of paying an accountant every year when a flat tax could replace the whole mess.
A promise that this will not occur again ain't good enough for me, disband the bastards and be done with them.
