If the average American citizen tried that crap with the IRS, they would be crushed painfully. That’s why you see people scrambling to find 6 year old receipts in a shoebox. “Sorry. Lost that stuff. You can’t do anything” simply will not fly with the IRS. Why should they get a pass when the situation is reversed?
“Why should they get a pass when the situation is reversed?”
They shouldn’t. At the very least, the VERY least, Lerner should go to jail for the same amount of time as Scooter Libby, and lose her pension.
We have officially crossed over to the point at which we now have the equivalent of a politburo controlling our lives.
We can’t trust anymore that the sanctity of our vote will be protected. We can’t trust that the government will protect us from foreign invasion (the encouragement and non-prosecution of illegal immigration is clearly a form of foreign invasion). We can’t trust that our elected officials will be held to the same standards and laws as the rest of us.
Frankly, we can’t trust anymore that the government will acknowledge and respect our rights of free speech, self-determinism, or ownership of private property. In short we can’t trust anymore that we are truly free in the country that many of us pledged allegiance to in schools across the nation as children.
