40 years ago

[The Rabbi]

Most people who post on this board weren't around 40 years ago, and those of us that were don't remember all the details, but what happened then was rightly called a cancer on the presidency. Today we have something worse, something that makes Watergate look like a mild cold in comparison. What we have today is a cancer on the entire government, and the IRS targeting conservatives is just the tip of the iceberg.

The part that I really cannot comprehend is why everyone is not outraged by this. Obama says he is outraged, yet some people must think he is just pretending because they are upset this might reflect badly on him.

Guess what, it reflects badly on every single one of us. This is not about Obama, so stop defending him, this is about the government choosing who is going to win and who is going to lose. This should offend every single person on the planet, and the fact that it doesn't should scare the crap out of those of us who understand what this means. Tyranny is not just something that might happen in this country, it is something that has already started, and we need to stomp it out now before it becomes so strong that we need to take up arms to defend ourselves.

This is the purpose of supply side economics. Reagan, Clinton, Junebug, Barry-O are all supply siders. The only difference between them is corporate sponsorship.

Fake liberals don't want to fix it. They do not have an acceptable vision for the nation.

Nutballs are in denial about Reagan and Junebug, so they can't fix it despite claiming to want to fix it because halfwits exist to do what they are told. The capture of halfwit America by religious nuts and the MIC in 1980 was a very bad thing indeed.

What did people expect? That is my question. The America that re elected Reagan and re elected Junebug is a despicably degenerate nation, not worth a god damn, and so deserves the economic fucking every president since Reagan has given it.

Nothing is going to change until the focus moves back toward policies expanding and maintaining a rock solid blue collar middle class.

You don't really have a clue, do you?

When Obama leaves and the crazies find their grandkids going to a school named after him, how are they going to ever be able to cope.

People said the same thing about Nixon. Oops.

No, nobody really did...

Actually neither one deserves the honor of having a school named after them.

Agreed.

In fact I do not think we've actually been living in America , not at least, since Nov 22, 1963.

I think THAT EVENT was a sotto voce coupe d etat.

I think we've been living in BananAmerica all along.

I also suspect that the elimination of NIXXON was an internacine battle within the Republican party to get the last of the OLD SCHOOL PRO-AMERICAN politicians out of power.

Yeah that's right I think both Kennedy and NiXXon were victims of the same cabal.

Now it would be perfectly reasonable for ya'll top dismiss my suspicions as nothing more than paranoia. I often do that myself.

I believe that our democracy is now little more than shadow puppetry, but I do not posit any clear theory as to whom is pulling the strings.

But I will venture the opinion that the STRONGEST STRING leads to the FEDERAL RESERVE and the SIX US BANKS that own it.

I often wonder if this CABAL was so terrified by Kennedy, and his near nuclear war, that they decided it was time to pull the plug on democracy.

I can actually imagine that were I one of that shadowy group who actually control this nation, I too might have decided to do what I sometimes believe has already been done.

I can easily see myself rationalizing that by ending the Republic and nationalism and replacing it with this Internationalist Shamocracy, I would be SAVING the world from nationalistic suicide.

THINK about what it was like during the Cuban Missile Crises..how close we came to armagedon.

If you thought you had the power to truly eliminate the threat of a world wide nuclear war, wouldn't YOU be tempted to do it, too, even IF it meant running the world clandestinely?

Then why haven't you parked your partisanship by the side of the road and got on with the business of exposing ALL of the puppets used by the banksters ?

very true. What we are seeing today is the direct result of about 60 years of liberal, progressive, socialist, marxist philosophy being implemented in the USA by both parties under the guise of making things better for everyone. Big, intrusive, over reaching government is destroying the vision of the constitution and individual freedom and responsibility.

Unless we return to the basics of the founding documents, we are doomed as a free democratic republic. We WILL become a european socialist state and our financial system will collapse just like we are seeing today in europe.

Real freedom includes both the freedom to succeed and the freedom to fail. Government does not exist to prevent failure or to pick us up when we fail.

Have you not been reading the latest liberal talking points? Apparently there is no scandal concerning the IRS it was all made up. To believe that then the most powerful man in the world is having yet another "police acted stupidly" or Sargent Shultz moment. I wonder if the liberals realize that in their attempts to defend him they make Obama appear way out of touch.

To recap: America redefined itself as a nation of almost unlimited opportunities during the Depression and after WWII. Then, in 1980, the filthy god damned scum of the earth began to undo themselves - and the nation - by doing the bidding of religious and military charlatans.

Next.

BS. Much ado about nothing. The IRS targeted liberal groups this time around and under George W. Bush, the NAACP. Apparently what's good for the goose, makes for outrage by the gander, when subjected to the same. Move on.

I can easily counter that with a quote from one of the reporters that investigated Watergate, but it would actually diminish my argument. 40 years ago Nixon tried to get the IRS to investigate his political enemies, and was unable to even find someone to put in charge of the agency that would even attempt to implement his ideas, back then the IRS had morals.

Today the IRS does it all on its own simply because they hear the President talking about how dangerous the Tea Party is. That is not what they are there for, they are there to collect taxes, not determine who should be singled out for special scrutiny. Even the people that decided it needed to stop didn't really try to keep it from happening, and they made a conscious decision not to say anything until after the election.

People that actually knew this had happened lied to Congress, and to you, about it. They then decided to release the news through a planted question during a panel discussion before informing Congress, which they are legally obligated to do. Yet, for some reason, you are not offended, even though you would be outraged if this had happened to a 501(c)(4) organization with a name like LGBT Alliance for a Progressive America.

That makes you part of the problem. That makes you a fascist who thinks the government should decide who gets scrutinized based on which way the political winds are blowing. That makes you a supporter of tyrannical government.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

What absurd and ridiculousness the election of a Democrat, and a black one at that, has caused in the minds of the hacks. Is it hatred? Is it stupidity? What is it? Now Obama micromanages the IRS, the man must be a god to do all this? You people are fools, fools, while the crazies in congress argue over made up scandals, the fools on the right sing along. What puppets you all are. In your blind partisanship did you already forget Benghazi? Fools, puppets - tales told by idiots.....and believed by idiots. Meanwhile the paid corporate foxes at Heritage laugh their asses off.

Take up arms? You are insane.

Nobody would defend Obama if nutters did not falsely accuse him of wrongdoing and get thousands of hours of broadcast time to push the lie into the dense minds of 30% of the populace.

There is no tyranny in America. Stop it already.

I did not accuse Obama of anything in this thread, did I? That makes you part of the problem, and one of the people that will be fighting for tyranny and against freedom.
