Good piece by Pat Buchanan.

He makes good points, and I don't disagree but it sure is frustrating when faced with the utter lawlessness coming from D.C.

Something must be done about the IRS. I don't care who they targeted. This bullshit about the "drives were erased and recycled" is infuriating. No one with any idea of how computers work believes that line and yet, nothing is being done. The responsible parties skate and the person appointed to clean house thumbs his nose at Congress.

In my mind, there has been no greater proof that the two parties are one in the same. Both want the power to wield the IRS like a giant hammer. Consequently, neither of them is lifting a finger to do anything about the corruption.

IRS issue = ^

What two of you should be concerned about is necons allying with Hillary. That is a disaster of national proportions.

Thats an extremely odd attitude to take towards the IRS issues. Everyone should be concerned about the blatant disregard for law or accountability on display. The primary concern, is that once powerful people realize that they are in fact truly above accountability their behavior tends to degenerate further even if the original behavior was not particularly dire.

As far as Neocons and Hillary, the alliance has always been there in many respects... forcing it out into the public spotlight might actually be a really good thing.

Please, continue to demonstrate to the world just how completely disconnected from reality you are.

The entire depth of IRS issue is that they lost some emails.

When compared to dark money sloshing around politics and revolving door in regulatory positions... IRS issue is like ticketing jaywalking at a street racer event.

In other words, smoke & mirrors to detract from important issues mixed with some red meat for "don't thread on me" nutters.

Now, tell me how you really feel about Bhengazi.

I am constantly amazed at how such an intelligent person can live blissfully in willful ignorance when the facts reflect poorly on those who espouse his political ideology.

I am progressive, in case you haven't checked, there isn't exactly anyone in power "who espouse his political ideology".

I am rolling my eyes at you mostly due to on-going "off the rocker" condition of your political movement.

Honestly if you really think that, either you have not really looked at the facts or your analysis skills are terrible.

If these things occurred during the Bush admin, and your pet lefty rags were screaming for blood you would be howling right along with them and you know it. Just because it "feels" fashionable to hand wave away Govt incompetence and abuses, does not mean it is the intelligent path.

No, what currently fashionable is blaming government for everything.

Erosion of privacy - big deal, government rightfully blamed.
Lost emails - fairly normal in any big organization.

I personally lost email archives and I work with technology. I don't expect glorified accountants with government-run IT department to do better. Remember, at the time it was viewed as regular correspondence, and not 'mission-critical' stuff it became as a result of the scandal.

Don't attribute to malice what could be adequately described by ignorance.
