This issue over the IRS is bigger than just Obama. What this scandal reveals is that the Federal, State, and local government bureaucracies are manned and staffed by Democrats up and down the line. This is true even when Republicans control the White House and Congress. The so called “career” employees staffing the government are overwhelmingly of the moonbat persuasion. In this case, do I believe that Obama himself ordered the IRS to go after Tea Pary groups, no I do not. The truth is that the IRS is staffed with 90% MSNBC viewers. They get their marching orders from Hardball episodes and Obama speeches. It is called the “Fuehrer principle”. The leader lets his desire be known, and it is up to the underlings to get it done. Our emphasis should be on removing the government unions. They are the problem. The government unions are in lock step with the Democrat Party, why are we surprised that their members act like it. Use this occasion to deunionize the government bureaucracies. We might accomplish something that is long lasting.
I'm with you.
Contrary to many FReeper's wishes, I don't think there's some overreaching conspiracy, with BO (or his handlers) as the puppetmaster. They're not smart enough for something like that. Additionally, they'd all worry about someone blabbing, and would spend more time knifing each other in the back, than on any actual conspiracy.
No, like you, I think that it's a lot more simple. Like-thinking people move in herds. So what may appear as a massive conspiracy, is just a buch of liberals just doing what liberals do.
The problem isn't with the presidency - though he does set the tone. The problem is with a million unthinking career bureaucrats in the government establishment, all moving as a monolith.
