Hey, Issa! Why don't you get to the bottom of what happened with Gunwalker & PATCON before -- BEFORE -- you decide to further empower the FBI?

Rep. Issa examining ways to reorganize ATF.

Good grief. He then backs off of the idea, a bit, but the fact that he blurted it out in the first place is more than disconcerting.

The Establishment GOP is slowplaying exposure of The GunWalker Scandal intentionally.

In doing so, I hold the GOP as complicit in the GunWalker Scandal and its cover up. Its members are indeed facilitating the ongoing attempts to cover up what has taken place, and taking place for all we know, intentionally.

Despicable, truly despicable.

A real Speaker of the House dedicated to defending the Constitution and the inalienable rights recognized within it would not be Silent. Yet, John Boehner remains the Silent Speaker. Pure corruption in action.; December 2, 2011 at 3:06 PM
TPaine said...: Boehner is no better than Pelosi - neither one of them has any balls. And if Grassley and Issa don't do something quick, this thing will drag on past the election cycle, which is exactly what all of our corrupt representatives want.; December 2, 2011 at 8:46 PM
Anonymous said...: If Issa And Grasley bust Holder before the election Obama will release him before he leaves the Presidency. With all the turmoil with F&F going on during the election year it will be bad time for the dems. Watch for the dems to try and get Holder to resign and take the heat off the election cycle for them.; December 2, 2011 at 9:04 PM
Anonymous said...: WHAT IF..

What if this entire Issa/Grassley dog and pony show is just intended to be a distraction ?

If I wanted to keep the RW preoccupied while I laid the foundations and inner workings to undercut them from other directions this would be the perfect venue.. besides, what good have you seen come from anything they've done so far ? No one has been fired or arrested, no one has even been slapped on the wrist but the guys who ratted them out.

I'm beginning to become disheartened by the lack of anything but what appears to be disinformation and misdirection by our employees in govt.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
