keep digging. There's more scandal where this came from.

Jack in Wi.| 9.15.11 @ 8:37AM

The FBI just sent more then a dozen agents to the home a former aide of Governor Scott Walker. The whole issue is whether the aide used his computer to type at his goverrnment job in compaign matters. This minor issue took the efforts of a dozen FBI agents. It is splashed all over the newspapers of the state. This is just a blatant attempt by Obama's justice department to punish someone who has opposed Obama and his union bosses. The more this is questioned and attacked the bettter. The unions are desperate to drive Governor Walker from office. They will use any tactic possible to accomplish these ends. They harassed Sarah Palin so much that she eventually quit. They are trying to do the same with Scott.

Dan Hirsch| 9.15.11 @ 8:45AM

Looks like the FBI're kinda late in Wisconsin...

I regret to inform you, comrade, but you must now report yourself to Attack Watch for anti-Obama propaganda. Hooligans such as yourself must prepare their self criticism prior to reeducation camp.

Alan Brooks| 9.15.11 @ 4:34PM

Even if you are correct about Justice, about Obama, it doesn't mean you will do any better when you get your people in the saddle-- which you of course eventually will.
Do what you want: I will not vote for your kind unless they are Reagan-Ike-Washington quality. The jig is up.
If we need incompetence we can turn to the Jimmuhs of America, we don't need your people.

Trinacria| 9.15.11 @ 5:13PM

Yeah, you're right, AB. It's pointless, so F--- it; why try? Let's just shrug our collective shoulders and accept it.

America: the New France! Ain't it beautiful?

Alan Brooks| 9.15.11 @ 5:33PM

"It's pointless, so F--- it; why try?"

That is exactly it-- you are not trying! your candidates are no longer good enough. Why do you think Reagan won 49 states in his last election? because he WAS good enough; Dole lost because the American people would never elect someone like him for president, NEVER.
You can do better, however you don't want to; will all the great cons in America you make only the effort to elect the ones who have celebrity status. Romney, Perry, Huntsman all look really handsome but their quality is more in their JFK- sex appeal than in their substance.
As cons, it isn't your fault politics has become celebritized, celebrity is from Hollywood;
yet you wont at least try to with all your might to nominate better candidates? you throw in the towel and say:
'okay, we can't avoid celebrity politics, so we will acquiesce in the game by running our own celebrities'?
Again, you didn't turn politics into fluff, but are complicit in it, you have given up, not me.

Trinacria| 9.15.11 @ 6:20PM

Pardon me, AB, but it's rather presumptious of you to make pronouncements about what I want. You haven't the slightest idea of where I stand on any given issue or the degree to which I'm complicit in the complacency that has led to what you regard as a sorry state of affairs. Indeed, your ignorance in this matter is exceeded only by your pomposity which, I hasten to note, causes me to shudder in embarrassment for you.

Another God damn blog philospher genius. Yeah, you've got all the answers, my friend, and your prodigious intellect is a wonder to us all...

Alan Brooks| 9.15.11 @ 6:29PM

"You haven't the slightest idea of where I stand on any given issue"

Because you don't reveal anything; emblematic of the times, you are too closedmouthed to communicate with. The rightwing in America has become opaque-- but without the positives it had up until '89.

Trinacria| 9.15.11 @ 6:42PM

Shazam! Does your extraordinary insight know no bounds?

You have acquitted yourself with characteristic brilliance, Grasshopper. Having summitted this challenging philosophical summit, you have proven yourself competent to address the most perplexing philosophical dilemna of our time:

Tastes great or less filling?

We await your sage wisdom with breathless anticipation...

Alan Brooks| 9.15.11 @ 6:56PM

I'm waiting for you to reveal something about yourself, Trinacria; what you think, anything at all of what you think- it isn't about national secrets is it? the world wont end.
If you play your cards so close to your chest there is no point in playing cards with you.

Trinacria| 9.15.11 @ 7:10PM

Like any respectable card game, one must have the juice to earn a seat at the table. Regrettably, AB, you haven't the requisite intellectual juice to sit at my table.

Terribly sorry, chap, but one mustn't make a habit of slumming.

All the best with your blog philosophizing; it's delightfully charming in a, well, pitiful kind of way.

Alan Brooks| 9.15.11 @ 8:59PM

If it is 'charming' then why wont you give a little by being a bit candid?

Alan Brooks| 9.15.11 @ 9:00PM

Trinacria| 9.15.11 @ 10:56PM

There you go, trying to elbow your way in at the card table. You don't have the bank roll, amigo.

Yep, you make him a martyr.

Buck Ofama| 9.15.11 @ 12:51PM

Same reason to protect the pile of camel shit. Would end up with too many roads and libraries named after the worthless c0cksucker.

Dick Nome| 9.15.11 @ 7:51AM

At this point in Junior's term, impeachment is a useless effort. A Democrat controlled Senate would never convict and it would obfuscate issues. Focus needs to be on winning back the Senate and electing a President. Then go after the corrupt Chicagoland gangsters. Junior will be disgraced at any rate.

SpiralArchitect| 9.15.11 @ 12:32PM

Sure.

Zero thinks his failed economic policies are top notch. Does any reader here, sorryBrooks, actually believe he would understand being disgraced? Consider the degree of humanity Zero continually exhibits.

SpiralArchitect| 9.15.11 @ 12:47PM

Disgrace?

We have a POTUS that has released 2 versions of (a) BC that are both fake. The recent with a proven flagged SSN ( from Connecticut none the less!) no investigation, no follow up & anyone mentioning such is thought of as a nut.

da monk| 9.15.11 @ 7:31PM

Impeach him for what?

BenfromMO| 9.16.11 @ 5:38AM

Impeach him for not being a natural born citizen which is a requirement under the constitution. Everyone knows his father was a UK citizen, which under the constitution makes him not able to hold the office of president.

Alan Brooks| 9.15.11 @ 4:38PM

"never impeach a radically incompetent liberal president."

Hey, chumpo:
Bush was the best radically incompetent liberal president ever because he had a full eight years.
You dumb sucker you.

You fell for it-- he did a number on you!

carnot| 9.15.11 @ 10:45PM

and we all know the Democrat alternative would have been infinitely better.

Oh, the ever so intelligent comments from the left...yeah intelligent and left together = oxymoron.

Trinacria| 9.15.11 @ 5:15PM

Can you believe I actually started typing some quip about giving him enough rope? Express ticket to a file on Attack Watch...

Darin| 9.15.11 @ 6:58AM

Anyone paying attention knows that if the administration had an "R" after it, several people would already be in jail or impeached. Those paying attention also know this doesn't matter because media lackeys can and will give them a pass and continue to fly topcover. Likewise, the blatantly criminal activities matter not one bit to the mindless voters who elected this incompetent and will support him even if he personally publicly executed a handicapped 3 year old (Trig Palin might want to be be careful).

CESC| 9.15.11 @ 8:48AM

Darin, it is well known that "R"s are held to a different standard. It is historically evidenced that "D"s are above any serious investigation of their clear and present corruption and illegal activities. We can never expect the so-called mainstram media to do their job. It is up to us and our allied truth-seeking sources such as this to out the facts and expose them for all to see.
But, as you said, the mindless proles that voted for him and will vote for him again (mulitple times when possible) have no problem with the corruption. Remember, to a radical leftist, the end justifies the means.

TrueBlue| 9.15.11 @ 12:47PM

It doesn't matter what happens so long as the worms get their welfare checks. Of course, when the checks stop and they riot the Dems and MSM will point the blame at the Republicans.

Alan Brooks| 9.15.11 @ 11:21PM

"Anyone paying attention knows that if the administration had an 'R' after it"

Henry Cisneros was not prosecuted?
Clinton was not impeached?

Timothy L. Pennell| 9.15.11 @ 7:09AM

Ed Koch, used to be the Mayor of New York. He appointed the First Black Police Commissioner that New York City ever had.
He was a DISASTER. The City's Crime Rates went off the charts. What did Mayor Koch do? Did he replace him? No. He did nothing.
Later on, Koch would say: "I was not prepared to FIRE the First Black Police Commissioner."
The PEOPLE, be damned.
Leaving aside the Cesspool, that is this Administration: Solyndra. The Black Panther Case, the ILLEGAL Drilling Moratoriums and the Picking up of the phone, and dispatching UNION THUGS, to people's homes, let's talk Fast and Furious.
Fast and Furious has it's origins in the White House. There's no way that the little RACIST Weasel and THIEF - Eric "My People" Holder - could come up with anything like this. He's not just a Weasel. He's an EFFEMINATE Weasel, and he hasn't got the balls, for something like that.
This came from a man who sees himself as GOD, as apposed to just being "Sent by God" like HAMAS does. This came from a Single Minded Far LEFT Radical Ideologue.
You know anyone who might fit that description?
Who remembers Herr Obama telling us, in discussions on the Violence in Mexico, that "A lot of these guns are being bought here, and turning up in Mexico"?
He was right. They were being bought by HIM, and HE was bringing them down to Mexico.
The object of this Program was NEVER to Track these Weapons. The goal was to have these weapons KILL as many people as possible. As many Men, Women, and CHILDREN, as they could. The more the better. That's a lot of Dead Mexicans. And, if a few Americans got killed along the way? Well, that's Gravy.
The idea was to create such CHAOS, that the American People would BEG their Emperor to do Whatever it takes, to keep them safe, and the 2nd Amendment be Damned.
Think: The Burning of the Reichstag.
This was all about GUN CONTROL. Obama was gonna get Guns banned. And he was gonna do it the way the Far Left gets everything they want.
By ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
Taking away our means to defend ourselves from our Government? That's the Holy Grail, to them. That's at the top of the Totalitarian's Wish List. Right above Government Health Care.
What's a few hundred dead Mexicans, and a coupla dead Americans, compared to THAT?
Everything else this Puss oozing Scab, of an administration, has done, or, is doing, is a distraction.
Solyndra, and all of the other PAYOFFS to Herr Hussain, are small potatoes. I'm sure that if we "Followed The Money" on every place he Spread OUR Wealth, we would find Corruption on a scale with any other Latin American Despot. But, like I said: It's all small potatoes.
Fast and Furious is much more than an Impeachable Offense. It's Cold Blooded MURDER. It's the act of a MONSTER who puts what HE WANTS, above everything else, including the LIVES of innocent Men, Women, and Children.
He has entered the Realm of Lenin, and Stalin, and Mao, and Pol Pot, and Che, and Castro.
The total Dead, may be less, but, the INTENT is the same.
Obama has used MURDER to try and achieve his goal. He needs to go.
We need to TAKE OUT this Son of a Bitch, and bring back an America where WE THE PEOPLE can belong.
Barack Hussein Obama does not belong HERE. He may have been born in Hawaii, but, he's NOT one of us.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNUS!

Col. Wm Davis, Retired Army| 9.15.11 @ 11:28AM

Woah there boy! Slow down some Mr. Timothy L. Pennell! Your criticisms are fine but your solutions are a little over the top! Too much coffee this morning? Or are you a leftist seeking to make this site look bad? Go get some sleep! We don't need to do anythng crazy or over the top. Barry will be voted out of office and we'll begin to clean house. No need to make a martyr out of anyone to do that.
Sempe rFi

loulou| 9.15.11 @ 11:37AM

I tend to look askance at those who worry about "making a martyr" out of a perp.
It shows timidity and mealy mouthedness.

Timothy L. Pennell is correct: one shouldn't mark time while evil is being done. The martyr needs to be removed from power.

Col. Wm Davis, Retired Army| 9.15.11 @ 12:00PM

LouLou: I completely agree with the criticisms Mr. Pennell said but I stop short of his implying the use of violence to remove Obama from office. And the use of "SIC SEMPER TYRANNUS!" only reinforces his desire to do so. That is what John Wilkes Booth shouted after he shot Lincoln.

I'm almost 90 years old. I have bullet wounds from serving my country in three wars. I am hardly timid, or meal mouthed. I would put myself in harms way again if I were young enough to serve again to defend our freedoms But I would not defend doing what Mr. Pennell implies. That kind of thing is not a solution. It is the kind of thing that starts civil wars. This country would go through a much harder time than it is going through already if something like that happened, and I pray to God that it doesn't.

I say lets keep doing what we are doing with the grass roots efforts begun by the tea party and build it stronger and clean up the mess the traitorous progressive liberals have done to this country.

In all my life , I have never seen anyone more evil than leftist, progressive, liberals who seek to destroy the greatest nation on earth for the most inane reasons. They are filled with greed and hatred and are most definitely enemies within. But doing what Mr. Pennell suggests is not the way to get rid of them. Those who underestimate the power of a martyr with people like that do not know history very well.

2012 can't get here soon enough. I hope I live to see that day!

Timothy L. Pennell| 9.15.11 @ 5:01PM

Let me ask you Colonel. If you could have ELIMINATED Hitler, in 1940? Would you have done so?
The Praetorian Guard, like our own secret Service, were given the job of Protecting the Emperor. On more than one occasion, they TOOK HIM OUT.
Why?
Because, their OATH was to the EMPIRE, not the Emperor.
the Secret Service' OATH is to the Constitution. To Protect and Defend it, from ALL ENEMIES, both Foreign and DOMESTIC.
I, too, am a Veteran, and I understand that OATH.
Do YOU?

Dan Hirsch| 9.15.11 @ 5:15PM

Timothy;

Maybe you don't recall the amazing turnaround that occurred during RWR's first term. When Reagan was inaugurated, the media were all saying that the US was over, that the Presidency was too big for one man, that the economy was done, that all hope for the future was done and gone. The Soviet Union was still vigorously expanding their influence, especially in the Middle East; the Chinese were just coming out of their very dark age.

It looked pretty darn bleak.

Well...they were wrong.

Yes, it's bad out there, but a peaceful revolution ala November 1994 and November 2010 will remedy our problems far more quickly and efficiently (in lives and treasure.) That's why we have the Constitution after all. The Founders wanted to make it so we wouldn't have to revolt again.

We have the tools, let's trust the Founders' wisdom and use their process - it's worked incredibly well for 230 some years.

The other problem with violent revolution, is that the winners are rarely the people. Look around the world. Do we really want the Iran, Libya, Egypt, most of Africa experiences? Remember what happened in Russia in 1917? China, Viet Nam. No, let's use our system - It'll work, if we work at it.

It is easy to be driven to apoplexy just having to observe what's happening sometimes. Still, we all occasionally need to be reminded that we can get angry without getting violent.

Yes, we will "take out" the corrupt Obama in due course. It will be done with ballots just as it should be.

Here's hoping you get to cast that ballot in 2012. Thank you for your many contribtions to our great country.

John Navratil| 9.15.11 @ 6:57PM

Col. Wm Davis, Retired Army,

Many thanks for your service to this country. I agree that a civil war is the worst way to achieve the changes we need. History does not guarantee a perpetual republic and by any measure ours is long in the tooth. At some point, it will fall, and its fall will be painful. That point does not have to be now, but time is short to prevent a disaster.

I pray that November 7, 2012 finds you well and happy. Actually, I pray that for everyone although I hope some are a bit more happy than others ;)

Deborah D| 9.15.11 @ 2:51PM

Col., I understand where you're coming from, but when Timothy says this: "We need to TAKE OUT this Son of a Bitch, and bring back an America where WE THE PEOPLE can belong." -- He's quoting exactly what Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. said last week before he introduced Barack Obama. Hoffa was referring to the Tea Party. I'm not saying it's wise to use those words, but his post from last week basically said if they can say that, then we can too since Obama didn't give Hoffa any guff for saying things like that.

Just so you know.

DRed| 9.15.11 @ 8:12PM

Perhaps you need to think a little too before you speak, sir.

Thats the worst part about it. Corrupt is bad enough, but when Incompentent is added to it its scary.

Maddox| 9.15.11 @ 8:36AM

Yes but incompetence will be their undoing if Republicans choose to do the right things for the country. As stated above, impeachment will not happen, we must throw them out in the coming elections. Then, go after them with true justice. Their incompetence will make it easy to prove treason and theft.

PaulyD| 9.15.11 @ 12:26PM

Yep. Right now, incompetence is the only thing protecting us from their corruption. Just think how much more dangerous they would be if they knew how to run things.

PaulyD| 9.15.11 @ 12:37PM

As a follow-on to my comment, this incompetence is the silver lining to this mess.

My friends in the Legal profession tell me the lack of professionalism (referred to by Mr. Hillyer's comments about Tracy Schmaler), at the Justice Department has become legendary. For example, many of these 106 attorneys fail to submit court briefs on time, or meet other judicial deadlines. The briefs they DO submit have become notorious for grammatical errors, typos, improper citation, etc. As a result, these attorneys don't have a lot of credibility with many Federal judges.

And that is a good thing.

RWinks| 9.16.11 @ 4:56PM

On January 20, 2013, everyone hired by DOJ over the previous 50 months should be fired and locked out of their offices effective midnight, 1/20/13. Indictments to be forthcoming.

Dan Hirsch| 9.15.11 @ 9:07AM

We should give up the theory that you don't go after the prior administration's political appointees after a change of administration. Historically, the concern has been using the courts to criminalize politics. But these czars and other blatantly criminal appointees have gone way too far beyond 'political' acts.

We should be screaming that the blatantly illegal stuff will be tracked down and the individual perps prosecuted fully, with no government representation. Whether we win or lose the election, if we are loud enough, it might make these czars and other leftwing hacks think twice, no matter what BHO tells them.

This non-prosecution policy has been followed in the past to avoid tit-for-tat prosecution of appointees and civil servants. But after Scooter Libby's innocence failed to save him from a clearly political witch hunt seeking a criminal in a crime-free crime, raising the specter of prosecution might get these appointees to think twice. Besides, what else can we do right now?

Consider this, you could never deport 20,000,000 illegal immigrants, but if you deported 10,000 with a lot of coverage of illegal immigrants in orange jumpsuits and manacles, won't 5 or 10 or 20% deport themselves? So you pay for 10,000 and get another 500,000 to 4,000,000 deportations for free! With no televised tears!

So SCREAM it out people. You lawbreaking appointees, we will find you and we will put YOU in orange with bars on all sides!

Oh, and work, work, work for your favorite truly- conservative candidate. And when he or she loses (or not) close ranks and work, work, work for the Republican nominees and don't stop till they're elected to the White House and the Senate.

Only, then can we begin the Herculean task of cleaning up some very messy stables, with dirt piling up from the early 1900's....

This is better than doing nothing...except whining!

Don't tread on me!

John Navratil| 9.15.11 @ 10:48AM

Dan Hirsch,

Clinton fired all sitting U.S. attorneys when he took office. When Bush took a much less overt tactic, it was seen a being for political reasons.

For political gamemanship, Clinton had it right. I personally would like the heads of these departments working as if they would loose their jobs with the new administration. It would discourage cronyism, make them keep their contacts with the private sector and urge them towards a set of accomplishments they would actually like to crow about.

Dan Hirsch| 9.15.11 @ 10:54AM

Wouldn't the same tactic work on Congressional Representatives and Senators. It sure works on Presidents...

Melvin| 9.15.11 @ 7:21AM

Then what the hell are we supposed to do? Ever since the New Black Panther fiasco, it has been common knowledge that the Justice Department has been used by the Obama Administration not as an independent instrument of justice, but rather a instrument of suppression and intimidation.
All three branches are no longer independent of each other with the systems of checks and balances that is supposed to stop or at the very least launch investigations.
With all three branches basically taking marching orders from the White House, minus Congress to a degree, albeit a very small degree, we have one branch of government who uses Executive edicts as to circumvent the checks and balances that the Constitution has built into it.
So again what recourse do we have to even begin? Americans have died in the performance of their duties in the field, because of a scheme that was developed in tandem with the White House, and the Justice Department. There is rock solid proof of this, this isn't just some paranoid delusion hatched by those extremists in the Tea Party, as some would lead us to believe.
I just find it hard to accept that those who are responsible for our checks and balances are running around with their thumbs up their butts with a stomped on bullfrog look on their face, and they're telling us there is nothing that can be done until Obama leaves office. !!BullShit!! I'm not going to accept that for one stinking moment.
There has to be some recourse in the very least the Justice Department itself. There has to be at least one honest lawyer with an ounce of integrity that still believes in our system.
I'm quite sure when this Country gained it's independence from England, there were those naysayers that said, "There's no way you guys can defeat the British, they're too strong and too big." But a few who believed did what was thought as the impossible.
This is what we need right now a few who believe, within the Justice Department to plant the seeds of discontent, and make Eric Holders life a living hell.
We as citizens in good conscience cannot just let Eric Holder walk out the doors of the Justice Department scott free after Obama's term is up. Eric Holder has blood on his hands as if he pulled the trigger himself on the poor Border Patrol Agent.

Mike D.| 9.15.11 @ 8:05AM

An increase of the adherence to the laws on the books (re: illegals) is more than enough to push the illegals out of this nation.

Illegas get most everything they need to live. Compared to their previous existance what they get supplied with here is a exponential increase in the quality of living.

Aside from a few people and sites like the Spectator where is the outrage among the citizenry and especially our elected officials? I have believed for a long time that we, as a country, are past the point of no return. I see very little evidence to shake my belief.

Dan Hirsch| 9.15.11 @ 9:11AM

Dude!!!

Go make some evidence of resistance yourself!

Call your Congressman, go to a Tea Party rally, make signs, post them wherever. Whining and bitching will not overcome these people. Only action will. So do something! Call, write, post, scream, march something! Be a lone kook, but if you are making sense, you will not be alone for long!!!

DTOM!

donserge| 9.15.11 @ 11:04AM

Sorry. Short of removing the vast majority of congressmen and many hundred of thousands of beauracrats from government bodily all we will do is put fingers in the dike and we are running out of fingers. We can temporarily survive an Obama presidency but we can not survive an electorate (including many 'conservatives') that will place someone like him in office. We also can not survive a people that will readily give up their freedoms. e.g. One of the main reasons we had a revolution in 1776 was property rights. There is no area in this country where we can exercise these rights.

Dan Hirsch| 9.15.11 @ 12:56PM

donserge;

I don't want to start a civil war, you don't either. We have a way of fixing this, but you gotta take the steps to do the job.

One of the real benefits of the Tea Party is that it showed a lot of people who think like you that you are nowhere near alone. More people want to fix this than don't. Have faith!

Didn't Geo. Washington and his boys go up against the premier power on the planet to get us this freedom? Haven't we beaten the best of the worst the planet could throw at us?

Don't quit - nowadays, it's actually much easier now than it has ever been in history. (Thanks, algore...betcha didn't see that coming!)

Call, write, hound, scold, cajole, scream quietly at your elected representatives - let them know that their job is not safe anymore. You, their boss, something they hate to hear, are doing a performance evaluation, and you're thinking they better straighten up and fly right! They are history. Do Twitter, Do Facebook, network, whatever, get after them. They're human, they can be frightened into good behavior - fear is the best motivator.

Use your common sense - it is incredibly powerful. Remember Tom Paine's Common Sense. The statists are counting on us to shut up and take it. Don't give in to them.

Another thing: I keep hearing that fifty percent of Americans are getting $ from the government. Do you really think that every last one of them is happy about it? This thing is not over, unless we all quit! They are actually on the run, let's not surrender fifteen minutes before a big victory.

Now get out there and kick some butt! - if you are busy kicking theirs, they can't be kicking yours!

DTOM!!!

Hey AS, why is the word "Statist" not in your dictionary, hunh? That ain't right! DH

Speaking with unemployeed people in a professional capacity daily I have determined that the people that most want jobs are the ones that were making a decent income, minimal at or above the poverty level (around $22k family of 4).

The people that make a few thousand a year rarely mention how they would like a job or are concerned / excited to find work.

The (monetarily) low end mostly are complicit in their cusp of poverty lifestyle (read: existance).

I've said it before and it is worth the repeat, "this was a ganster made to order government before any of these traitors ever assigned to their current posts, and they still are" in this case, it's not like it is unknown, its just the so called media cannot help themselves because they are part of the problem and unllike all Patriots of these United States, they are not. They are in it for the revolution they anticipate at the expense of all of the unwilling and wanted. I do pity the teet suckers, they are in for one hell of a surprise, soon. When the rule of law is surcomvented by those in power, by what other means is there available for We the Patriots other than the dreaded, civilwar 2.0. Something is going to have to give, and I can assure you it won't be another step to rob me of my liberties. P.S. Melvin, you, me and a few other million Patriots know full well what needs to be done, the question remains, who is going to be the first one to shoot straight with the American Patriots and call them on it? Who?, The current so called leaders are not only cowards, but, evil to boot and all around us more concerned for their re-election than the safety and welfare of it citizenery or the Country. Pray my friend, pray We the Patriots can make a difference come next election cycle, or we will all pay the price of this evilness wether or not we are involved in on it. Best wishes and God's speed.

I have been politically active to one extent or the other since age 20, and in the last 50 years, have not seen anything like this.
I, too, ask, "Where is the outrage?" Why are the Republicans not screaming about this undeniable breach of oath, and illegal action?
Can the Republicans be held complicit in these travesties?
I say yes, they can. I have come to my own conclusion that there is no elected Representative nor Senator that will truly adhere to the Constitution if it stands in his way to power, and will not demand that others do if he needs their help to pass a bill.
It's crooked from top to bottom.

Dan Hirsch| 9.15.11 @ 9:45AM

Sarah Palin nailed this point in her Tea Party speech in Indianola, Iowa last week.

Read it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09.....Zl8xOiUg7g

The New York Times' Anand Gridharadas wrote on Sep 9, 2011:

"Here's a sample: But when her throat was cleared at last, Ms. Palin had something considerably more substantive to say.
She made three interlocking points. First, that the United States is now governed by a
“permanent political class,” drawn from both parties, that is increasingly cut off from
the concerns of regular people. Second, that these Republicans and Democrats have
allied with big business to mutual advantage to create what she called “corporate crony
capitalism.” Third, that the real political divide in the United States may no longer be
between friends and foes of Big Government, but between friends and foes of vast,
remote, unaccountable institutions (both public and private)."

Sarah is right, even the New York Times gets this point!

This is what we are all seeing and feeling - it is the elites much more so than the liberals. John Boehner has far more in common with Harry Reid than he does with any conservative posting here. He's a "ruler," we are "subjects." They can take as much of our income as they choose, they can take our land, they control our education, our health, how we use our land, how we live.

The problem is this - anytime somebody gets elected, they run the a very good chance of being co-opted into this system. Where was Scott Brown on Obamacare? Where is Ron Johnson on 'mutual consent' in the Senate-he said he was going to get serious. Senator Johnson, why so quiet? Going along to get along is drowning our freedoms, remember!

Can we fight this! You betcha! We have to stay on them and we have to make incumbency something a politician has to earn, each and every term. You may have heard of "Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom." It's not about British ships sneaking into the harbor, it's about communists dressed up as "progressives" who say they are "looking out for you" "protecting the worker" blah blah. They are not looking out for anyone but themselves.

Consider this: the UAW has more retirees than employees now. Why, because the unions are not there to preserve jobs, they are in the business of collecting part of UAW members salary or pension and spending it on themselves or their friends.

Case in point: In Wisconsin, WEAC is the teacher's union provider of health insurance. It is owned by the teachers' union. Before 2011 the teachers' unions bargained for who would provide their insurance, many of the school districts in Wisconsin were compelled to buy their insurance from WEAC. The rates WEAC charged were monopolistic, i.e. exorbitant. The amount of money the school districts have saved by ditching the WEAC insurance has been phenomenal! Busted school budgets have been fixed overnight, new teachers have been hired, some taxes have been cut. (Illinois wake up!!)

Meanwhile back at WEAC HQ, WEAC has been cutting staff willy nilly, because their revenues have been tanking. So what have they done? According to the union representing WEAC's employees, WEAC has been trashing their contract with their employees. Apparently union rules only apply to 'others' they don't apply to unions who have the misfortune to have a union as their "management."

Anyone saying, well, they learned it from the school boards will be spat upon! Repeatedly...

Sorry for the length, I didn't have time to make it shorter...

Don't tread on me..and don't just sit there, DO SOMETHING.

PS Yeah, I took a swipe at Bill O'Reilly. But Bill you spend so much time on the sensational stuff, so little time on the real substance, it's obvious to me that your dream is to be a 'real' network anchor...I think that Walter Cronkite is a much bigger hero to you than Ronald Reagan. Besides you claim to be moderate, that you try to find the middle ground. What if Pol Pot and Joe Stalin ran for President? Wouldn't a moderate finding the middle have to agree with murdering millions of your countrymen? It sounds fantastatic - but that is what moderates do. They don't reason, they don't think, they just try to stay out of the way. That will NOT get 'er done...

Before Nov-08, I predicted to friends and family that Obama, if elected, would usher in an era of unparalleled Federal corruption. I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but the evidence was plain to anyone with open eyes.
However, we don't know a fraction of what's going on in other departments outside the DOJ. Believe it: the misdeeds highlighted in Hilyer's outstanding article are just the tip of an enormous iceberg of cognitive malfeasance at every level and in every department of this administration.

Dan Hirsch| 9.15.11 @ 9:48AM

Back then I said 2 things:

1. Barack Obama would make Jimmy Carter look like Ronald Reagan.

2. Barack would find the job too hard, and he'd leave the Presidency for the UN.

I think he's about wrapped #1. #2 could happen in a "New York minute!" We can only hope...that'd be a nice change...

DTOM

John Navratil| 9.15.11 @ 10:52AM

Dan Hirsch,

If #2, we should make sure Ileana Ros-lehtinen is re-elected.

Dan Hirsch| 9.15.11 @ 11:19AM

He won't get to the UN in an official capacity unless he joins some NGO; if he appoints himself Ambassador as a lame duck, the appointment might clear the Senate but would be terminated upon his successor's inauguration.

As to Ileana, I am not personally familiar with her record. Wikipedia shows her taking a number of conservative positions; and a couple not so conservative.

Nowadays, I am thinking in the terms of Sarah Palin's political formulation on the "permanent political class" which the New York Times(!) wrote of on September 9th.

You should see it-I've been watching politicians closely since Goldwater lost. (Really!) Sarah's comments made me sit up, take note, and do some serious re-thinking. She may be changing the entire game...Drudge carried it for a while, then even he buried it. Statism is an incredibly contagious disease!

You should find the NYT article by Anand Gridharadas on September 9. That they were nice, even slightly complimentary to Sarah makes me think this could be the game changer which really captures the essence of our current problem: It's is not just BHO, the Democrats, or the liberals. Booting them out of power will not solve the problem-just as GW Bush didn't really fix the problem. Even the NYT has to make a profit and they are finding that their old views are not helpful to them, or maybe their new Mexican stockholders, lienholders, whatever they are.

I'll be eying Ileana. Thanks for the heads up..

DTOM

PS My favorite UN Ambassador was Reagan's Jeanne Kirkpatrick; she told the UN General Assembly after they made the empty threat to leave New York that she and her staff would be 'the first ones at the dock waving farewell to the whole lot of you.' Now, that's statecraft! DH

John Navratil| 9.15.11 @ 6:44PM

Dan Hirsch,

I LOVED Kirkpatrick. My dream team at the time was Jack Kemp/Kirkpatrick. Howsomever, to give credit where credit is due, it was Kirkpatrick's deputy, Charles Lichtenstein who responded to the threat: "We will put no impediment in your way, the members of the U.S. mission to the United Nations will be down at the dockside waving you a fond farewell as you sail off into the sunset."

That's a quote to remember. I hope we'll be able to dust it off for future use.

PS. I was a little young for Goldwater, but I remember the AuH20 bumper stickers.

bluecollarbytes| 9.15.11 @ 8:32AM

Where is the movement on the right, dedicated to revealing the scope of Obama's 'transformation' of America? We have outlets that talk about it but where are the politicians? Most of them just peck away at an issue here, an issue there, ignoring the dangerous reach of obamagenda into every federal agency. Obama the activist has been very busy this entire time, while critics mistakenly call him uninvolved...'leaving things to Reid&Pelosi;', Obama likely had his sights on the big picture- wielding all available power to further Leftist ends long term.

So which Republican hopeful is likely to extract the poison Obama has injected into the govt-systems?

Old Joe| 9.15.11 @ 10:08AM

Yes, where are the Republicans calling for prosecution and impeachment? Instead, the leadership chastises people like Joe Wilson for stating the truth – “You Lie” – and then forcing him to apologize. Why should he apologize for the truth? Or what about the entire list of Republican presidential candidates attacking Rick Perry for stating the obvious about Social Security. Our party is led by a bunch of panty waist sissy boys who probably have never been in a fight their entire life. I hate the Democrat/Socialist party with a passion but I give them credit for their courage to fight for what they believe in no matter how wrong they may be.

Augusta| 9.15.11 @ 9:15AM

It would be very interesting to see the numbers - that is, just how many radical lefty nut jobs would be foisted out of office when Obama loses re-election. The number of czars alone is practically viral - then there's all those insidious recess appointments and agency bureaucrats. The mood of the country, and our chances of survival, would improve thousand fold just by electing a new president who will purge Washington of it's leftist infestation. Any remaining moonbats in Congress [Pelosi, Reid, Jackson-Lee, Waters, etc.], would be substantially weakened. When Obama goes, so does his menacing army of unqualified Marxist/Alinsky zealots. Anybody feel like crunching the numbers? Seeing how many would be ousted in black and white would be great motivation.

We need a Strong Conservative elected President who believes in the Consitution.
After elected he/she calls for the House to petition the D.C. District Court to demand that obama PROVE that he is a Natural Born Citizen.

He Can't and the Court will declare that he is non-qualified to be President and his time in office, his obomacare, judges, etc. are all disqualified as laws, appointments, congress approval. Plus, he'll lose his pension and perks. He should then be arrested for violating multiple federal Laws.

The above process is the legal method to show the world the US is the leader the the world and obeys its laws. Holder, etc. will also be prosecuted for multiple legal violotions.

Elect the most Conservative for President.
My choice in order are Palin, Perry, Ginrich (sp?); but NOT Romneycare!

Ground Control| 9.15.11 @ 11:38AM

Until the N.Y.Times and the W.Post along with the alphabet TV networks get on board (not likely) nothing will happen to the criminals in the Bozo Administration. Far too many people use these propaganda houses as their sole sources of information and most of them vote, Democrat of course. Alternative Media will never catch up with this simply because Alternative Media requires ACTIVE participation to acquire information. The propaganda sources noted above are PASSIVE, in that one need only turn on the TV and sooner or later a propaganda "news" show will appear and sell the Democrat line. The simple truth is, Eric Holder belongs in prison, but he will never get there because of Democrat network propaganda. After all, Bill Clinton sold strategic weapons secrets to the Communist Chinese in exchange for illegal campaign contributions in both 1992 and 1996, and Clinton is still at large, living large, and the propaganda services still promote this traitor as an "elder statesman." I fear this Nation will never understand the depth of corruption and crime that permeates not only the Bozo administration, but the entire Democrat Party as well.

Louis Jenkins| 9.15.11 @ 11:56AM

Well, I read the the other day that more murders in Mexico have been linked to Fast and Furious. What's more, crimes have been committed in the USA with some of the weapons too. Holder is mixed up in this in no small way, and so is the President. I imagine the shredder is going full blast, and someone's finger is on the "delete" e-mail key as we speak. And now the illegals aren't being deported, the green energy scandal in Calif. has bloomed, and we're looking at Stimulus #2, otherwise known as a Jobs Bill. Whoever wins the next election may have more than he/she can handle, and far more office holding liberals than he can fire. Our nation will be an absolute mess once the smoke clears. And that's if we make it that long. The latest hate speech from the liberals has gotten very severe although its only words. I tend to agree with Flatulus above. Better do some preparation. An event could occur, all at the orchestration of Obama, that would rock the USA.

Seek| 9.15.11 @ 11:59AM

Eric Holder is yet another light-skinned black establishing his racial bonafides by adopting a more radical-than-thou stance. Sound familiar? Nothing worth will be accomplished at DOJ until AG Holder, and the guy who hired him, leave office.

Personally, I don't care if Holder is purple-polka dotted or red paisley. I take issue with the content of his character as he reveals it through his actions on the job. Period.

I personally think she is a lovely lady. I have said so many times here.
I spent five years at Baylor University, (Christianity major in Counseling)
I studied some six translations of the New Testament; six flavors if you will of the "Good News" in three languages.
I merely reminded Margie to not get bogged down in jots and tiddles...(smile)...but she seems to have a crush on King James' translators.
She has the gist of it all though...Love one another and trust in Jesus through the Holy Spirit's guidance.

autoacct628| 9.15.11 @ 12:23PM

Last night, a dude from ABC News, of all places, appeared on FOX to discuss the Solyndra mess. I thought that was significant, because it almost certainly means that the EDITORS of ABC News are finally on to some of the corruption in the Obama White House, and are giving some of their reportes a little leash to start investigating, rather than carrying water for the administration by stonewalling or spiking the story....I think some members of the press are starting to smell blood in the water and realizing that, once the bloom is off the Obama rose, careers can be MADE, (rather than DESTROYED) by exposing corruption in the Obama administration. Once the fear of the regime is eliminated for the Press, the jackals will be out in force. I believe that Thomas Jefferson said that the first patriots are the bravest....they risk all. Once the fear is past, and it costs less to be a "Patriot" (i.e., against this regime!) I think we will start to see a lot of people turning coats and leaving the left hanging. These people, of course, are never, ever to be trusted. But they can be useful.

Corruption is in the eye of the beHolder. When Alberto Gonzales took issue with US Attorneys not enforcing voter fraud, the Democrats and the media went full bore indignant with accusations of playing politics with federal law enforcement. Never mind that the issue was non-feasance, i.e., not earning your paycheck, the Democrats pressured Gonzalez to apologize and successfully defined the issue as one of politics over integrity. The double standard in no longer disgusting, it is a danger to our very freedom.

Did you all see her reported in the New York Times?

Yahoo "Sarah Palin" and "Indianola"

The Times gave her credit for finding a pathway out of our political paralysis...and I think she's right.

Works better if you don't sound too, well, hyperbolic. Your sentiments are not wrong, you'll just catch a lot more flies with honey.

Besides the more reasonable we keep it, the more wacko they sound! We just need to find ways to explain how absolutely extraterrestrial the BHO crew is to those not paying attention...

"Extraterrestrial!" See it can be fun!

Dan, I tip my helmet to you sir. No blowing smoke up your nether region mind you, but your posts and the information that was within was very insightful today.
I can't believe I overlooked the Times about Ms. Sarah. Myself and others of whom to be Democrats, have had thoughts in that direction of which she eluded to.
I belong to a small group of geezerly retired Marines who solve all the worlds problems in an hour at the Camp Johnson pool.
Believe it or not we are divided between Liberals and Conservatives and somehow we discuss politics with civility.
You have and your positions have merely confirmed our thinking.
Your posts today have gotten a different set of gears turning. Thanks

Melvin;

Thank you for your service, sir.

I am humbled by your comments. Thank you.

But when I was 18 with a draft number of over 350, I missed the opportunity to serve my country. I view it as one of the major missed opportunities of my life. Again, thank you for your service.

Don't tread on me.

Anthony| 9.15.11 @ 1:48PM

If we had an honest and independent media and a justice department not run by a corrupt political hack, both Obozo and Holder would be under indictment for the murder of those border agents under Fast and Furious.
This justice department is corrupt to the core, with Obozo's hack doing the bidding of the Muslim Marxist to punish America.
Holder makes John Mitchell look like a boy scout leader, and Obozo makes Nixon look like an alter boy.
2012 can't come soon enough, when all of America will become NY9.

Forgive me, but the prospect of seeing Holder being perp-walked outside the DOJ offices fills me with glee.....

It has been reported that Barack Obama just failed an E-Verify check on his SSN.

His 4/27 birth certificate is not just a fraud it is a laughably pathetic fraud.

And you're up in arms over some guns shipped to Mexico and some illegal hiring at DOJ?

Are you kidding?

It's hard not to be cynical at the head-in-the-sand silence over the greatest fraud in US history by a man who appears to not even be a US citizen.

What a mixed-up, muddled-up world.

Dan Hirsch| 9.15.11 @ 5:21PM

Is this the Democrat's escape from the upcoming electoral disaster? Did Debbie Waterman-Schultz run that E-verify on him?

Boy, that's be something, but wasn't Chris Matthews pounding on this a couple of weeks ago?

They will never show the true BC. You see, no matter where he was born, a true BC would be grounds for immediate impeachment. The fact that his father was a UK citizen makes him illegible to be president in the first place. Look up the requirements for president.

Patk| 9.15.11 @ 2:11PM

Don't we always hear about these political crooks? and then someone else gets into the office and it is quiet for a while then that politico starts his own type of double dealing. and no one gets punished. Maybe moved to a different office?

Marc Jeric| 9.15.11 @ 2:55PM

Holder is a racist-communist; can there be a more toxic combination? He is an ideal candidate for the first commander of the coming American Gulag, provided he can beat La Pelosi.

Intelligent Design| 9.15.11 @ 2:57PM

By suing Arizona, Holder and Obama are assisting millions of illegal immigrants who have made a mockery of the rule of law, trashed the meaning of citizenship, and undermined our national sovereignty and security. Among those who have walked across the border are not only drug pushers and gangs, but also Muslim terrorists who are plotting new attacks. The millions of illegals are costing taxpayers hundreds of billions for their education, their medical care, and for the burden on the criminal justice system. Obama and Holder have failed to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. They are waging war against American citizens.

The Obama administration is destroying the Republic ideals, the rule of law. Makes it easier to turn our country into a democracy and then a dictatorship. It's clear to me what they are aiming to do.

Nixonfan| 9.15.11 @ 4:50PM

DoJ has been politicized since 1961, when JFK made his brother AG in order to protect him, his father, and his friends. It's been politicized ever since, and the media is always shocked by it. It's a huge scandal, but an old one.

wbheff| 9.15.11 @ 5:55PM

When Obama's biological father, the man who abandoned Obama and his mother when little Barry was a baby, he was married to a woman he had left in Kenya. Thus the "marriage" that silly little Stanley Ann Dunham thought she was part of was bigamous, and therefore fraudulent.
That makes little Barry the son of an unwed mother, and there is a common English word to describe such a child. That term has been applied to other occupants of the White House as a perjorative, but in the case of little Barry, it is a simple statement of fact.

echodelta| 9.15.11 @ 8:59PM

I believe that Eric Holder is the most corrupt Attorney General since John Mitchell.

BackToBasics| 9.15.11 @ 9:53PM

I heard Mike Savage say that the FBI went in so quickly to Solyndra t0 get the incriminating evidence against them because they want to bury the connections to Obam and the Democrats. Holder will start a pseudo-investigation and cover up for the thievery of stimulus funds that happened at the company and federal government levels there.

I'd bet that he's right rather than that he's wrong about this.

BenfromMO| 9.16.11 @ 5:46AM

Trillions in stimulus, yep I bet there is quite a few dollars missing. It will take years of pain-staking research to figure out how many cronies got their share of the pie.

Why is it the most important jobs in the world, President and members of Senate and Congress can't be spot-fired by the people who hired them?They get to go auditioning around the country, for the part. We hire them for the part. And then we have to sit through a four year really bad performance or 6 or 2, depending on who it is.

What we need is a probationary period, during which we can all send in a pink slip.Pink slips counted - Bozo goes home.

Obama would be home. "Downtown" Scotty Brown would be back home. I would have fired that phony for writing his autobiography the first week he was in Washington. Who in the hell cares if he was raised on food stamps or molested. Is that some kind of excuse for selling himself as something other that he has turned out to be?

Timely Renewed| 9.17.11 @ 2:24AM

The solution must go deeper than simply replacing these ideologues. Much of the Obama administration's ability to wreck such havoc comes from a constitutional jurisprudence which has allowed the national government to expand far beyond its proper constitutional bounds. We can only hope to be free of this or future administrations of its ilk when we restore the original limits on the national government. Given how entrenched that Supreme Court jurisprudence is, this can only be done by amendments restating those original constitutional understandings. See http://www.timelyrenewed.com.

Will someone have the guts to use the term IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES?

C.K. Amos| 9.17.11 @ 4:48PM

I confess: There is such 24/7 reportage of yet another criminal or potentially criminal offense by Obama, his administration and the Democrat/progressive/liberal/leftist Party that I've become fatigued.

That's unacceptable in the fight against Marxist Obama and all of liberal-fascism-dom, I know.

And I know that it's precisely the plan of Obama and his thugocrats, DPLL leaders and their Fitfh Columnists of the once-mainstream news media: unrelenting assaults and batteries against us, who they consider their enemies.

They're right about, that: I am their enemy. I look to the day they're all dragged from office and prosecuted.

But their treason and breaking of their oaths--actually, it appears they perjured themselves when they took their oaths of office--is especially and execrably despicable when the chief law enforcement officer of our Republic and the purported leader of the same so adamantly hate America, Americans, our Constitution and more.

TexasFred| 9.17.11 @ 7:32PM

I see and hear a lot of people calling for the DoJ to appoint a *Special Investigator*...

Uh, wouldn't that be kind of like asking the FOX to look into the missing chickens from the hen house?

The DoJ can't investigate itself, there must be an investigation, but the DoJ IS the party needing to be investigated, NOT the organization conducting the investigation...

Carbonicus| 9.21.11 @ 4:21PM

Quinn, I'm disappointed. You didn't even touch on Solyndra! (but kudos for aggregating more than enough examples to make a point that is hard to refute).

"What does this have to do with DoJ", you might ask?

Nothing until FBI raided the place two days after they filed for bankruptcy.

The optics of the raid make it appear to most that FBI was hot in pursuit of investigating fraud by management, in an attemp to bring "justice" to the taxpayers who have been bilked for over half a billion.

But do not be surprised if/when we learn that the REAL reason they were in there was to gather and hide/destroy all evidence connecting the fraud to Obamao.

Then you'll know what this has to do with Solyndra and you can add it to your list next time!

p.s. you made an excellent point re: John Mitchell. At least his corruption was only to preserve party power. Holder's/Obamao's is that plus re-writing the constitution for politically favored groups, pissing away taxpayer dollars to political favorites, and other actions that further chip away at what makes America great.

If Americans do not contact their representatives about this our country may reach a point where the DOJ is so full of Obama minions and other departments that justice will never be served . There is no reason why Holder and the other Obama minions should be getting by with this. It is illegal, corrupt and against our constitution.
