Good Morning Spies!

June 10, 2013

I just wanted to wish a hearty good morning to the NSA or IRS, or whomever is tasked with surveilling my “extremist rants.” And oh, the irony of that.  I’m an “extremist” because I think freedom and liberty demand a smaller more accountable government where the money, power, and responsibility are, preferably, kept to the [ Read more ]

The IRS Can’t Find The Receipts…

June 6, 2013

You really can’t make this stuff up. IRS spends 50 million of your dollars and mine…on a boondoggle that wasn’t even supposed to happen after the whole GSA debacle, and they can’t find the receipts. Too busy targeting political opponents? Wait! I bet they blame the sequester.

A voice suffering from Government Tyranny – simply for being TEA Party – Part 1

June 4, 2013

Am on vacation this week – a “staycation” in doing errands as well as finally starting to approach the long list of “honey-do’s” (as well as long list of tasks of my own).  Both have long laid fallow resulting in, well, “the house suffering from benign neglect from blogging”.  A week won’t cut it down [ Read more ]

Notable Quote and then some….

June 3, 2013

“In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.

Speaking of TEA Party targeting, CAN the heavily Democrat leaning IRS show “equitable conduct” in managing Obamacare?

IRS As Political Hammer, Not the First Time, Nor the Last, Unless…

May 23, 2013

Sometimes blogging is about creative commentary and piquing the other side while, hopefully, providing a different perspective. Other times, it’s just about spreading information. This is one of those times. I initially dressed this up with all sorts of semi-wittiness (heavy on the “semi”) reminiscent of a tired comic strip, but the length of the [ Read more ]

May 22, 2013
