There's some of that for sure. But that's just the stick and it's a result of the poisoned carrots. The on;y problem with government is that it is too big and that will correct itself eventually.
The truth certainly stands out from the lies.

It's quite possible that the Obama Admin is running some of these 'scandals' because they don't want a future admin using this against them.
this particular administration stands out to me as the problem in general, not in particular. Government is political by its very nature. Politicians and politics involve a significant degree of obfuscation and mendacity - that's not a condemnation, but a recognition of reality. Each law must be judged if it were in the worst hands, not the best.
As a Christian, I have a Savior. It's naive for conservatives to wait for one, especially a political one.
Clearly just another RINO. When can we challenge him in a primary?
Well, since we will sometimes disagree with someone on policy, we might as well pronounce everyone a RINO and be done with it.
You must not live in Texas and know nothing about his record.
Clearly the sarcasm got lost in translation.
“Ted Cruz: Lets not rush to judgment on NSA surveillance”
My first thoughts.
“Gee. I wonder what they have on him.”
Too many Godfather movies...
Instead of being pessimistic, look at the bright side, that a lot of Americans see what’s going on, and do not like it, and they are the ones who contribute to society, instead of parasitizing from it.
Efforts at socialism always fail because socialist ideas do not pay their own way. They rely on resources outside of their system to subsidize what they do; and even worse, they continually grow until their host can no longer support them, much like a malignant cancer.
Add to this, that elitist socialism, a modern refrain of a division of society between a nobility and a peasantry, can only have any power by limiting *everything* that exists in abundance, so it can ration it to the peasantry or not. Rewarding its subjects and punishing its dissidents.
That is, *anything* in abundance can be used as an alternative currency, to defeat the ability of the elites to control others. And I mean *anything*. In East Germany, even colors other than black, gray and white were reserved to honor the state, as was music.
If the people have anything in abundance, the scheme fails.
American socialists are just as bizarre, wanting to ration everything, including water, food, nature, etc. To keep the people they despise, who they think of as peasants, living in deprivation and dependence. They even strive to ration life itself. And some, the weirdest of the lot, have decided that there are too many peasants for the elites to manage “in the world”, so wish to cull the vast majority of humanity. 90% of them, according to such lights as lizard expert Dr. Eric Pianka, and his minions.
So do not think of socialists as capable or even marginally effective at running things or empire building. Parasites and metastatic cancers cannot exist on their own. Look at the results of their handiwork in Detroit, and even the direction California is headed.
They might crave to turn America into Zimbabwe, but truth be told, without the willing assistance of their hosts, their schemes whither and die.
Blackmail? It looks to me and sounds to me like it.
Last night, Trey Gowdy sounded like he had been lobotomized. He said that Congress is powerless and has no power of prosecution. He said the public needs to pressure the white hut and DOJ to do something because congress can’t. What?
Cruz now sounding soft.
What else? Who else? The investigation(s) are falling apart. The aggression has ended. Things have become muddled and the sheeple, with the attention of a ferret, have become bored with it all.
/s is good!
Clearly some are ready to throw him under the bus..We have a history here of doing that.
“Clearly just another RINO. When can we challenge him in a primary?”
Not a commie RINO in the classical sense. A conservative
RINO. McCain and Graham are classic RINOs and the republican party hasn’t been conservative in a long time.
The problem is he thinks there is a sliver of civility in
the Obama administration. That is where he is wrong. In the
hands of this administration the NSA has become an enemy of
the people.
THIS is exactly why this story has even less legs than the IRS and Benghazi stories. Too many in the GOP are on bammy’s side on this.
I think they want to limit the world population to
500mil. Just enough workers to ply the worlds resources
and produce enough for a small group of elitist. 7bil.+
is just too many to control. The funny thing is, the know
nothing peons who support this communist movement will be
the first ones to go because they are worthless and are
not producers. Your right it never works. Leftist utopia
is a pipe dream that has never existed no matter how many
times it has been tried in the past. The only examples that
exist is it’s failures but they keep trying. It’s insanity.
I’d vote to throw Rand Paul out of office just for being a two-faced bastid!
So let me ask a question. If Cruz is a “Republican in name only” (i.e. a false or fake Republican), what current Republican do you believe is NOT a RINO?
As you state, Snowden didn't really reveal anything new, other than confirm for LIVs that fed.gov has been violating our rights for decades. (As such, then what crime(s) did he commit?)
Anyway, I'm sure various pols & pundits who wish to become better informed on the extent of this corruption would really find your primer quite useful.
It’s interesting that for some reason, socialists, and even proto-socialists who existed before the word socialist was created, have always had a “1 in 10 ratio” as part of their schemes.
Essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson imagined that civilization should end, and that mankind would live in isolated rural villages, kept in a primitive state by itinerant “Orphic Poets”, 1 in 10 elites, who would twist and distort history and knowledge in such a way to keep them ignorant and uncivilized. And that they would reward these Orphic Poets with their substance as a reward for keeping them primitive, out of gratitude.
Ironically his idea was almost identical to that, possibly independently created by Dave Foreman of Earth First!
The pre Civil War slavery apologist George Fitzhugh, in his book ‘Cannibals All!: or, slaves without masters’, wrote that slavery was a positive social good, for which slaves are the beneficiaries, having no other concerns than to obey their masters. As such, he advocated that 9 out of every 10 people in the world be enslaved. He also wrote that the 1 out of 10 elite masters should be praised for doing the “hard work” of ruling the slaves and keeping them enslaved.
And finally, lizard expert Dr. Eric R. Pianka, in his infamous speech before the Texas Academy of Science, proposed an airborne ebola virus to wipe out 90% of humanity as a good thing. All but two of his fellow “scientists” and graduate students gave him wild applause for this notion. People who might very well be able to bring his insane notion to reality through genetic engineering.
Of the other two, one informed the FBI, and the other agreed with the first that this was what Pianka had said. For his part, Pianka tap-danced and said that he was just talking in theory, not advocating, a blatant lie.
But always with this 1 in 10 idea. Nobility and peasantry.
