Why We Should All Fear Government

Sen Chuck Schumer is a perfect example of why we should fear (too much) government. His latest bombshell differs from Hitler's Germany and Stalin's USSR only by a matter of genocide: he said Barack Obama should bypass Congress and use the IRS to curtail Tea Party activity. Shades of the SS and the KGB! I can think of no other statement that egregious and alarming by any high-level official in the history of this nation.

For the lefties here, it calls for using the one government agency many of us fear most to use its force to censor the thought of over 100 million people who, even if they don't wear Tea Party badges and thump their bibles, believe in the founding principles of a limited and responsible government, individual self-reliance, a republic rather than a mob-rules democracy, and healthy, competitive, moderately-regulated capitalism.

And for the BSNBC fans, the IRS admitted targeting the Tea Party and other conservatives for an incredible barrage of years of prohibitive scrutiny and outright barriers liberal groups do not face.

Then add Cuomo's similar statement (with De Blasio's support) that "extremists" who believe in a right to life, oppose gay marriage, or choose assault rifles (arguably the best home defense weapon for women because it has virtually no kick) have no place in New York. This, from the state and city of the Statue of Liberty, about which has been written:

<<<"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

The Statue of Liberty was originally called "Liberty Enlightening the World," and this is truly her task - to enlighten mankind to the noble ideals of freedom and equality that belong to each one, and to hold high the standard of hope that light will always triumph over darkness. This is the promise represented in the Statue - that through every conflict, war, or loss, through every dispossession or abandonment of principle, the torch of freedom will continue to be held high. ">>>

Until now, when these two bigoted, frightened, ignorant, "progressive" neanderthals want that light extinguished.

Sadly, whether it is NSA spying, murder of 55 million babies, IRS targeting, 2nd amendment rights, EPA destroying jobs etcetera, the left only seem to care about putting their hands in someone else's pockets.

75% of Americans believe we are still in a recession. What an amazing stat. Meanwhile for the last 30 years Americans have been losing purchasing power.

Rick Santelli hit the nail on the head today. It seems like the stock market is worried about all the central bank interventions. Gold may be interesting again.

I've had my finger hovering over that button for months now. The skids are greased in preparation for a V bottom.

On Friday, Jan. 24, 2014, after two highly controversial tweets, Matt Drudge, enigmatic founder of the Drudge Report added a third cryptic four-word tweet. Drudge left this tweet dangling on his Twitter page, open to interpretation at will. Drudge tweeted, "Have an exit plan..."

For context, on Jan. 23, Matt first tweeted, "They are going after the Obama critics with indictments. VA Gov. Now Dinesh D'souza. Holder unleashing the dogs." Immediately on the same day, he added another tweet, "Holder dangling 'indictments' over News Corp's head too. Behavior modification."

Someone thinks that New Corps committed no crimes? Must be a Fox regular.

Oh, so you support amnesty for all right wing crimes. Got it. Not surprised. My bumper sticker says "indict Cheney."
