CONGRESSIONAL UNDER-SIGHT

Once again Congress is being stonewalled by the IRS rather than release the Lois Lerner e-mails that were subpoenaed more than a year ago. The IRS excuse this time is that a computer crash wiped out all of Lerner's email correspondence both sent and received.

The IRS also said that the tooth fairy is real, the boogie man lives and the moon is made out of green cheese. Smidgeons are apparently also real. They must be smurf-like microscopic computer virus trolls that eat and destroy only government documents that would incriminate the White House. 

 

Congress can be angry, charge people with contempt but until they get serious and seriously get to the dirty muddy bottom of the IRS scandal, Americans will blame them along with the administration. The public has been patience (long enough) waiting for scandals to be fully, independently investigated but instead we have been treated to obfuscation, obviating and now obliterating of the evidence.

"Justice delayed is justice denied" and this administration has been allowed by Congress to ignore subpoenas, flaunt the law and bury evidence. It is unconscionable that Congress has allowed the IRS to delay, stall and make incredibly lame excuses for not complying with the law. It is not lost on the American people that this agency, the tax enforcement agency, itself, does not allow any American to use an excuse, even a credible excuse to avoid exposure, let alone a dog ate my receipts excuse.

  

Why are our representatives in Washington allowing officials and agencies to flaunt the law? It makes mockery of the term congressional oversight that is acting more like blind-sight. The most gullible American knows that when a wrongdoer is given enough time they will destroy evidence and cover their tracks. Why is Congress acting like it just fell off the turnip truck?

We have a majority in the House of Representatives and could easily appoint a special prosecutor to uncover the truth and the people involved. Outrage and finger wagging political braggadocio is not what the public expects, instead we want a deliberate and methodical criminal search for the facts.

If officials don't meet deadlines then put them in jail and make their subordinate provide the materials. Americans are fed up with bureaucratic investigations that brings a wet noodle gavel to serious criminal acts that have undermined the foundation of law and justice.

Enough of the hand wringing, it is time to bind some wrists and swarm the offices where the virtual paper trail evidence is stored and uncover the truth for the American people. 

If ever there were reasons, or a reason (Eric Holder under contempt as A.G.) for Majority leader John Boehner of the House to call for a vote on appointing an independent special prosecutor with the power to use computer forensic science to fully investigate the evidence of crime, cover-up and obstruction of justice, it would be now.

Americans are incensed with the inaction of our representatives who swore an oath to office to defend our Constitution and the integrity of our government. How can Americans be asked to comply with federal laws when federal officials scoff and ignore laws?

Congress is suffering from the many infections caused by this incredibly corrupt administration such as "smidgeonioutis", "phoniscandaloopus" and "onlyelectionsmattertous" that seems to cause similar symptoms for those infected. 

These symptoms include but are not limited to, comatose thinking, compulsive need to sit on hands, inability to focus, uncontrollable swelling of feet put in mouth, gastro-intestinal lack of fortitude, hypocritical reflexes that cause repetitive feckless flailing actions, allergic rashes to the word impeachment, addiction to lobbyists campaign narcotics, progressive deaf ear imbalance causing a constant leaning to the left, inability to sympathize with anyone working hard but not rich, blind to everything except the media spotlights and continued weakness of the back muscles causing spinal curvature that mirrors the fetal position. 

    

The only curative to these highly contagious beltway diseases is  the grassroots' tonic. It is a homespun remedy brewing across the nation in district stills and everyday more voters are joining the call to lead the Cantor-ing  horse manure makers, to drink from their wellspring.

Yes, they know they can lead their geldings to the well but they can't make them drink. Yet, patriotic Brats know, when the pig headed mule refuses to drink then you must trade in your nag for a steed.

After all, we the people, are the only medical specialists that can cure political constitutional-corruptive-itis.

DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIBLE

The Democrat Party, media pundits and liberal activists have circled the wagon around a president that has shown contempt and defiance for America's Constitution and the value of law we inherently hold dear as a nation. 

Their defensive arguments addressing Obama's many constitutional transgressions run the childish gamut from finger pointing at the previous administration to sticking their fingers in their ears and screaming a mantra of mockery with the intend to marginalize the transgressions.

In their insulated world of Obama deification they label every American that is critical of this President as racists, misogynistic, homophobic, ignorant, bitter, tin-foil crazy and hate-filled. However this name calling kill-the-messenger campaign eventually backfires.

As the old children's retort proclaims "I am rubber you are glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you" the public is becoming weary of the Democrats and their constant pompous palliation. 

Because with the rise of independent voters, what is growing painfully obvious to party politicians is that Americans do think outside of the partisan box, and the Democrat Party is the party that fears the truth. In every scandal their party has hurled distractive insults toward legitimate questions using absurd analogies to congressional fact finding as witch-hunts and circuses. 

When Democrat Party members are asked simple pointed questions that Americans deserve answers to, they shrug them away as either administrative mistakes or obfuscate using the immature game of "He or she did it too." (George Bush) 

America was once an honorable country that took pride is always seeking, finding and exposing the truth even if it hurt our reputation. The lesson of Watergate wasn't that all Republicans were corrupt (as Democrats might want you to believe) but rather that our Constitution and rule of law is only as strong as We the People demand it to be.

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are the faces of a party that not only  ignores the Constitution (Obamacare) but they and their members have been perpetrating a campaign with a complicit media to hide the truth from the American people. The Democrat Party's representation has dissolved to become an Obama shield party. 

We should be asking the Democrats and those supporting the left why doesn't America have the right to know the truth. Why doesn't America deserve the truth about Benghazi, IRS, Fast and Furious and any and all administration and government scandalous behavior? Why are you supporting deceitful secrecy when you claim to be in favor of transparent government?

Why don't we know who, what and for what purpose was there a gun running sting operation that illegally allowed weapons to be bought by criminals and cross our border without any effort to interdict them? Who has been held accountable for the deaths of law enforcement officials killed by the Fast and Furious guns? 

If there is nothing to hide, then why are people exercising the fifth Amendment?  Who in the White House directed the IRS to target conservative groups? Why is the IRS being allowed to continue to harass conservatives by subjecting Tea Party donors to audits ten times the normal average? Why did Nancy Pelosi appoint Elijah Cummings to sit as vice Chairman on the IRS oversight Committee to so-call investigate wrong-doing, when we now know he and his staff co-conspired with Lois Lerner to harass True the Vote?  

For Democrats to continue to defend the indefensible actions of this administration and provide cover for such dishonorable service leads one to only two conclusions. Either the Democrat Party have no propriety and dignity left or they were involved more closely with these scandals then is yet known. In the case of the IRS targeting we are starting to discover that some members of Congress (Cummings) were playing  the role of judge, jury, and  defense lawyer while cynically caught being one of the defendants.  

Why don't we know why Ambassador Stevens was put in harm's way in Benghazi, without security, by our then Secretary of State? Why don't we know who promoted the bold faced lie about a protest caused by an obscure video? Why didn't we try to save our personnel under attack? Why was there a young green gilled "Dude" in the situation room (National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor) while the President of the United States, the Commander in Chief, has yet to account for his whereabouts during the attack?

 

It seems that the cover-ups  and the closed curtain on the truth is the only thing transparent in our current government run by ideologues committed to transforming America by savaging all vestiges of honor and accountability.

The media has been absent at best and a tall tale teller for the elites in power at worst. However, as much power as the news media has over some Americans who are politically half asleep, truth is a powerful bestirring stimulant.

Americans deserve full discloser, candid testimony from government officials and real consequences for any in our government that acted either illegally or failed to act honorable under their oath of office. When either political Party engages to cover up the facts, lie to the American people or refuse to investigate wrong doing in our government , then they are violating their oath " faithfully discharge the duties of the office," and the public's trust.

CUMMINGS'S OUT PARTY

The recent revelations that the vice chairman of the House Oversight Committee Elijah Cummings Democrat from Maryland, used the power of his office to unleash the IRS attack dogs on True the Vote is astounding.  Especially given the fact that this Democrat Representative wanted to shut down the investigation of IRS targeting by the committee back in June of 2013.

Cummings said on CNN in an interview with Candy Crowley “Based upon everything I’ve seen, the case is solved. If it were me, I’d wrap this case up and move on.” Now we know why the Congressman was so eager to move on. Not only was he and his staff up to their eyeballs in soliciting the IRS to scrutinize True the Vote and its founder Catherine Engelbrecht but apparently Lois Lerner provided his staff with confidential tax information. 

In fact when True the Vote's lawyer, Cleta Mitchell raised the issue of Cumming's involvement in the targeting during a February 2014 testimony before the committee. Cummings flatly denied her assertions that three separate letters from Cumming's office requested the same information of True the Vote as did the IRS. This raised obvious collusion suspicions between the IRS and Cummings that now have been exposed by recent e-mails between Lois Lerner and Cummings's staffers. 

Also noteworthy, is that Rep Cummings's sent a letter to House Majority leader Boehner prepared by lawyers claiming that Lois Lerner did not waive her Fifth Amendment rights because Chairman Issa did not utilize a procedural process in order to hold Lerner in contempt. This behind the scenes advocacy begged people to ask why Cummings was acting like Lois Lerner's lawyer?    

Why did Cummings try and make a circus out of the IRS corruption hearing in March? The Committee had recalled Lois Lerner believing she might be willing to testify, but she instead re-invoked her Fifth Amendment, and after Issa adjourned the Committee, Cummings  had a typical Democrat grandstanding temper tantrum;

" I am a member of the Congress of the United States of America. I am tired of this. We have members over here each who represent between them 700,000 people. You cannot just have a one-sided investigation. There is absolutely something wrong with that. That is absolutely un-American."

Now that a recent e-mail has surfaced from Lois Lerner to Cummings's staff intrusively seeking information on True the Vote perhaps it is becoming more filthy clear that this Congressman is all up in it to his elbows. 

Funny, that the letters from Cummings office to Catherine Engelbrecht group were mirror images of the inquiries being made of the group by the IRS. Funnier still is that the Vice Chairman of the Committee Cummings has kept this correspondence secret from the Committee and its members investigating the illegal targeting of non-profit conservative groups. Funny or tragic that these recent revelations have not caused Cummings to be removed from the Committee, criminally investigated and defamed by the media for his deception.

The stench of the Democrats party corruption is powerful strong and blowing downwind toward voters and one should expect even loyalists to gag and wretch. Instead Cummings is invited to go on FACE THE NATION to make idiotic statements about Democrats needing to speak about Obamacare being a moral issue. Moral?

 

The corruption and bullying of American citizens by progressive Democrats and their use of government unions, have corralled most all of the federal bureaucratic  agencies to ask "how high" when they are told to jump. The use or should I say abuse by lawmakers that have used federal agencies as their own private attack dogs against their political enemies is what the IRS investigation is all about isn't it? Now we find the vice Chairman of the Committee Elijah Cummings with his fingerprints are all over the IRS canine collar with the Democratic party and the sycophantic media holding the leash.

Meanwhile Obama's Attorney General "smidgeon" hunter, Eric Holder has been given the Lois Lerner contempt charges to prosecute amid the public's cynical awareness that our chief justice officer is himself contemptuous of Congress and a race baiting immoral party loyalist.

Americans are not dumb enough to believe that justice will be served while this party and administration  replete with corruption remains in the seat of power. Even the most politically unaware understands that "crap runs downhill" and low rung civil servants are just the mere shovel wielders for those elites that are in denial that their outflow doesn't stink.

Representative Cummings tirade that was plastered in the media and caused Representative Issa to apologize is endemic of the surreal world in America today. Who will be held accountable for the many unconstitutional breaches by this administration? Who will be charged and sent to jail for abuse of power, election fraud, intimidation of their office, withholding evidence, obstruction of justice?  Who will apologize to the American people for the corruption oozing out of Washington and causing a malaise of federal tyranny in America?
