Government vs. Us

As if we don't have enough examples of the Obama administration and their liberal/commie infiltrators contempt for the citizens of this country.

VA manager’s email mocks veteran suicides

A manager at the Roudebush Veteran Affairs Medical Center in Indianapolis appears to mock the mental health problems of returning combat veterans in an email to her employees. 

The email obtained by The Indianapolis Star contains photographs of a toy Christmas elf posing as a patient in what appears to be the hospital’s transitional clinic for returning veterans. In one photograph, the elf pleads for Xanax. In another, he hangs himself with an electrical cord. 

The woman who sent the email is Robin Paul, a licensed social worker who manages the hospital’s Seamless Transition Integrated Care Clinic. The clinic provides returning veterans with transition assistance, including mental health and readjustment services. 

When initially asked about the email, Paul responded, “Oh my goodness.” She then referred a reporter to the hospital’s public affairs department, which emailed The Star a statement on her behalf.~snip~

Everybody seems to think that when Obama's time is up in office we'll be able to get back on track as a country but the truth is that the same civil servants who feel entitled to collect a paycheck from us while turning up their nose will still be there.

Lois Lerner is not an aberration but the rule in the union controlled agencies that we pay for.
If the next administration really wants to improve government then they will purge the government unions and make clear to government employees that they work for the citizens of this country and not the democrat party.

Obama's Corrupt Regime

Here's some Sunday light reading to raise your blood pressure.

The IRS: Just One of Dozens of Uncooperative Agencies

Darrell Issa’s leading role in the IRS investigation may have come to a close — he lost his chairmanship of the House Oversight Committee to term limits — but there is plenty of work left for his successor, Jason Chaffetz of Utah. None of these criminals has been punished; the maddening fact is that Lois Lerner is enjoying a six-figure pension at the expense of the very taxpayers against whom she conducted a corrupt political jihad. And even if that happy day should come when Lerner et al. are given one-way bus tickets to Florence, Colo., or some other suitable destination, Chaffetz and his colleagues still would have a tremendous amount of work to do; if Issa’s time has taught us anything, it is that the federal agencies are in thrall to a culture of criminality, and that the most significant crime in the agencies’ repertoire is the obstruction of federal investigations.
Earlier this year, 47 inspectors general — the officials charged with fighting corruption, waste, and wrongdoing in federal agencies — sent a letter to Issa’s committee complaining that organizations ranging from the EPA to the Justice Department were impeding their investigations by withholding information — despite the fact that federal law specifically forbids withholding that information. These are not a bunch of Republican operatives trying to score a few political points: Those 47 inspectors general comprise more than half of all such officials, and many who signed the letter were appointed by President Barack Obama.~snip~

The biggest service republicans can do for the American people is to purge the federal civil service of the corrupt, arrogant,incompetent union owned, liberal/progressive employees infesting their ranks.
The infiltration of commie/leftists has been going on for decades just waiting for a socialist administration to get their orders from.

These corrupt leftist civil servants actually collect a pay check to look down on the citizens and treat us with contempt. The worst thing about it is that they believe we are so stupid that we need their guiding hand to live our lives.
It's long past time to decertify their unions and hold the corruptocrats responsible either by firing or indictments.
If the republicans really want to make a difference they'll remind these "civil servants" who they work for.

Meanwhile Back at the IRS

With the plethora of scandals and incompetencies coming from the Obama administration and his various obedient minions in government it's easy to lose sight of each individual outrage against the country.
So here's a reminder that the investigation into the repressive IRS is continuing.
Slowly but it is moving along.

Lois Lerner cautioned against email chatter amid lawmaker probes

Former IRS official Lois Lerner said she warned her colleagues to be careful about what they write in emails amid congressional inquiries, according to new emails released by House Oversight Republicans.
She also asked whether the IRS’s internal messaging system could be searched, in the same email to an IRS colleague. It was sent April 9, 2013, less than two weeks after the IRS inspector general that unearthed the tea party targeting practice shared a draft report with the agency.
“I was cautioning folks about email and how we have had several occasions where Congress has asked for emails and there has been an electronic search for responsive emails — so we need to be cautious about what we say in emails,” she wrote to Maria Hooke, the director of business systems planning for the tax-exempt division. “Someone asked if OCS conversations were also searchable — I don’t know. … Do you know?”~snip~  

Because,you know, if we're not doing anything wrong we still need to be careful what we say in case anyone calls us out on it.
The IRS has unprecedented power to disrupt and ruin our lives and seems to feel that it is accountable to no one. Federal agencies are also havens for leftist partisan hacks who can undermine or support various administrations based on ideology.
Some people have called for eliminating the IRS and establishing a flat tax or some such other scheme and while that would be ideal....and fair it'll never happen. Basically because politicians use the tax code to further their ambitions. But, other than public sector unions, there is really nothing standing in the way of congress purging the agency of leftist partisan.
If not then they will simply be sleeper agents for leftist politicians and we will never be rid of these socialist.

Banning Scouting in California

There used to be a time when having "Boy Scout" on your resume' was considered a good thing. To belong to an organization that promoted the virtues of honesty and truth. 

But now it seems it's just another thing from your past that can haunt you.

Calif. moves to ban judges affiliated with Boy Scouts

California is proposing to ban members of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) from serving as judges because the Boy Scouts do not allow gay troop leaders, The Daily Caller has learned.
In a move with major legal implications, The California Supreme Court Advisory Committee on The Code of Judicial Ethics has proposed to classify the Boy Scouts as practicing “invidious discrimination” against gays, which would end the group’s exemption to anti-discriminatory ethics rules and would prohibit judges from being affiliated with the group.
“The Committee’s invitation ignores the fact that the change also encompasses other youth organizations whose membership is limited on the basis of gender, e.g., the Girl Scouts, as well as the military, which continues to practice ‘discrimination’ on the basis of gender,” wrote Catherine Short, legal director of the pro-life group Life Legal Defense Foundation, in a letter to the Committee obtained by TheDC that predicts possible implications for pro-life judges in the future.
“Perhaps this is not an unintended consequence,” wrote Short.~snip~

 I think what we're seeing is a template for the future when the groups and organizations that our parents and grandparents belonged to and benefited from will be "purged" from society.
The leftist communists are not content to simply marginalize groups that foment hate and bigotry (groups that originated from the democrat party itself, the KKK just changed it's name to the DNC.) they now want to go after those whose thoughts and beliefs are contrary to theirs. Like the article states , there may eventually(likely) be  a move to purge people with pro-life leanings who ever spoke out in the past about high taxes or government overreach. There are probably issues the commie/leftists haven't even gotten around to yet that people will lose their job over.
Like calling someone "bossy".
It's kind of alarming that people in the future will have to be anxious about what in their past can be used against them.
Whoever thought that repeating the Scout Oath or the Scout Law could cause you to be banned from being a judge?

A look into the near future.

Liberals Announce Plan to 'Purge' Christians

~snip~But as you read the article a frightening reality quickly rises to the surface. It's neither funny nor untrue. None of it. The cultural Marxist American left is 100-percent serious about "purging" Christians from society.
They're as serious as Josef Stalin's heart attack.~snip~

Hey! Lets get em all!!

Ran across this article today.

Purge the Bigots

~snip~Some of my colleagues are celebrating. They call Eich a bigot who got what he deserved. I agree. But let’s not stop here. If we’re serious about enforcing the new standard, thousands of other employees who donated to the same anti-gay ballot measure must be punished.
More than 35,000 people gave money to the campaign for Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure that declared, “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” You can download the entire list, via the Los Angeles Times, as a compressed spreadsheet. (Click the link that says, “Download CSV.”) Each row lists the donor’s employer. If you organize the data by company, you can add up the total number of donors and dollars that came from people associated with that company.~snip~

While the article does come off as a satire piece pointing out the absurdity of selective outrage it's also a warning of sorts.
Because the information about who donated is in the public domain, and the commie/liberal media is more than happy to compile a nice list, of anyone who donated for or against prop 8, easily sorted by name and location.
Which means they are all vulnerable to the same harassment and/or "purging" as Brandon Eich. Not only that but it's a warning to anyone who considers supporting the opposition to think more than twice before acting on it..
Mob politics.

The Infestation is Deeper than the IRS

A lot of people online are applauding this video of Rep. Trey Gowdy lecturing the IRS on their shameful waste of taxpayer money for their own enjoyment while other Americans are struggling to survive in Obama's economy.
As well they should, but as Gowdy says over and over, training will not solve the problem.
The real problem is the ensconced liberal/progressives that infest civil service from the top to the very bottom.
When the bright idea came up for IRS agents to single out opponents of the current regime doesn't it strike anyone as kind of odd that no one spoke up and possibly suggested that it might be wrong?
The reason is because they honestly believe that they are entitled to do whatever they choose to intimidate citizens into silence.

If anyone actually believes that hearings alone will cure what ails civil service then they are delusional.
To cure the government of what they are doing, which is actually declaring war on ordinary citizens of this country, an actual purge of these agencies is what is needed. A mass firing of partisan hacks who entered civil service for the sole purpose of forcing their ideas and beliefs on others. Instead of simply following the rules and regulations set down by congress.
If not then over time the corrupt liberal/progressive bureaucrats will slowly but surely go back to their "let them eat cake" attitudes and corrupt practices.
I worked in civil service for a short time and one thing I learned is that most loyalties with them lie in their unions and with liberal/progressive ideologies.
It was like that 30 years ago and I'm sure it's like that now on steroids.

Politicians come and go, bureaucrats go one forever.
Shrink and restructure civil service to actually serve their country, not create little fiefdoms who wield control over citizens without accountability.
