As you’re watching Becky Gerritson, in testimony to Ways and Means Committee, declare her independence…

…do not fail to notice that at least 11 people on YouTube reject the call for individual autonomy and a life led free from the presumptuous meddling of nanny state bureaucrats, opportunistic and cynical politicians, and black-robed philosopher kings who believe their own judgments to be the last word on any subject — even those they have no business deciding upon.

That is, at least 11 people who’ve viewed the video are here — or wish to be — as serfs or vassals who beg their governmental lords for mercy. Just so long as the monthly checks, the food stamps, the assisted living vouchers, the subsidies, and the rest of the “entitlements”  from Uncle Sam — which represent the fruit of the labors of others — keep flowing their way.

But then, who are we to judge? Or attempt get our message out unmolested by a now demonstrably politicized IRS, used by the ruling elite of both parties to keep we “extremist” Hobbits and constitutionalist Visigoths in our place? Which if we can read the tea leaves, amounts to “away from representative government.”

There’s a reason no special prosecutor is being called: s/he would likely uncover the fact that some in the GOP establishment not only knew about the persecution of the TEA Party, but actively aided in it.

Is my guess. And sadly, my perspicacity has a pretty decent public track record.

    Pretty sure you can bet the farm on that one.

  3. Why is there no special prosecutor? As Lester Freamon said, you follow the drugs and you get drug dealers, you follow the money and you have no idea where that’s going to take you. And what is the IRS other than the bag man for the federal government?
