In the sadistic era of fraudulent Hope and Change, inspectors general inside the federal government have been kicked, neutered and starved of the authority and information they need to do their jobs.
It's transparently clear: President Obama loathes and fears independent watchdogs.
Accountability is an empty talking point without whistleblower protection and investigative autonomy. That is why Capitol Hill must do everything in its power to stop the White House war on the public's ombudsmen. Federal inspector generals across dozens of agencies are begging lawmakers to grant them access to public records as guaranteed by the 1978 Inspector General Act.
The call for help comes as Obama administration obstructionists and cover-up operatives impede and downplay several key investigations into government corruption and malfeasance.
Last year, 47 of the nation's 73 federal IGs signed an open letter decrying the Obama administration's stonewalling of their investigations. The White House, they reported, had placed "serious limitations on access to records that have recently impeded the work" of IGs at the Peace Corps, the EPA and the Department of Justice, and jeopardized their "ability to conduct our work thoroughly, independently, and in a timely manner."
While defanging Washington's most effective guardians on the public's trust and tax dollars, the Obama administration has stocked the government with whitewash puppies who've compromised the independence of IG offices at the Department of Homeland Security, the Interior Department and DOJ.
At the rotten core of the war on federal watchdogs: Obama's Undermining Justice Department, which has distorted and destroyed the plain meaning of "all records" to sabotage the IGs access to damning agency documents relevant to their probes.

More than tyranny... It's treason, with the complicity of the U.S. Congress.
We can't take her seriously anymore knowing she came out in favor of it.
Just sayin.....................
No different than Robert Mugabe.
What’s really sad is there was a time real journalist would be busting their butt to uncover all of this corruption. Now, they are paid off, lazy, and/or too invested in Obama to do what’s right.
Really? It was a great article, but her stance on marijuana legalization has ruined her credibility with you? Come on! No one is going to agree on everything. Jeeze, some of you people are just wound too tight in this forum.
btt
Yep, the majority of the media now support the liberal leftists and are not hesitant to admit it.
Thank the Lord for people like Malkin who speak out against them, there’s fewer and fewer who do.
So... are you saying that people smoking pot is much more a danger to the US than robbery, murder, and treason by our top leaders ?
Medical marijuana is the drug of choice for all liberals, unionized workers (SEIU types), Whitehouse including the Obama’s and staff, the IRS staff, VA hospital staff. Supplied to them all by the mexican cartels. I wonder if Putin tokes?
We can't take her seriously anymore knowing she came out in favor of it.
Her position is the same as Ted Cruz' - can you no longer take him seriously?
Legalizing marijuana is further killing the nation, and anyone who supports it needs to re-evaluate their priorities because nothing good will come of it, NOTHING!

Anyone who really wants pot can get it already ... the only real issue is whether legal regulated businesses or murderous cartels will reap the profits. Shifting them from the latter to the former is the primary good of legalization.
Not true! Did NOT happen! I know, I was reading the newspapers and watching the Evening News and didn't see any allegations of this nature! Damned Republican fabrications again! Making up their own "facts"!

Thread about USG governance and oversight issues, and here come the druggies and Paulbots waving their roaches and lecturing us on dope.

ducttape45 first raised the issue of dope in post #3 - go bitch at him:
"As much as I applaud her article, Michelle Malkin has lost a lot of credibility in the eyes of many conservatives due to her stance on marijuana legalization in Colorado.
"We can't take her seriously anymore knowing she came out in favor of it."
He posted something about Malkin.
You posted a bumper-sticker in favor of dope.
The other stuff about "USG governance and oversight issues, and here come the druggies and Paulbots waving their roaches and lecturing us on dope" all I can say is,
"huh" (trying to do my best Tim Taylor impersonation and his characteristic grunt)
It is by no means a “conservative position” to be for prohibition. For every person like you with whom she lost credibility, I’m sure there’s at least one like me with whom she gained it.
About her stance on marijuana legalization.

No, in favor of its legalization for these reasons:
