ABC NEWS TEAM SHADOWED BY ARMED GUARDS: Has An Iron Curtain Descended On The Cincinnati IRS Office?

Does a Free Country so severely control a Free Press?  Last time I knew, no.

We are often told, when we object to more Governmental intrusion, “If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about!”.  So why is the Government guarding those IRS agents reporters?  Or is a message being sent, not by words, but by action?

Is this a “Fundamental Transformation” we really want?  To use Government to punish your enemies? A Government that declares that it has enemies?   And make no mistake, the more and more that comes out, the less I think the word “political” can be used in that phrase anymore.  Freedom of the Press, First Amendment – and armed guards??  Not in the Constitution I learned.

This is supposed to enhance the “trust” we should have in our Government?  Not in any previous definition of trust I learned.

    Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
