Drip....Drip....Drip..Drip-drip....drip-drip-drip-dribble-dribble-shhhhhhhhh-splash!!!!

As story after story, bit of evidence here and there, lawsuit and docs obtained via discovery, underling-deciding-he-doesn't-wish-to-do-hard-time-for-MassahObama-coming-forward---the slow drip is on the way to becoming a flood threatening to wash over the Internal Revenue Service on its way to the White House.

It isn't just the big stuff, although that's bad enough. It's the 'little stuff', like traffic light cameras. City governments install them over the protests of the voters, claiming they make the streets safer. In reality, what they do is turn each intersection into a profit center. Then there are the hand-held versions employed by police officers from the safety of their cars. $50 here, $100 there, pretty soon it adds up to real money. The citizens know the truth, and they resent being lied to, and really resent being seen as the source of money for governments to skim. The police officer ostensibly hired to protect the law-abiding, to render aid to those in need, to maintain order by just being present, is now another anonymous collector of revenue, driving around in his car, photographing license plates, 'tagging' motorists for 50-100 bucks a pop. How long before they find the citizenry begins to view them as an enemy, not a friend, decide that perhaps there really is no Rule of Law after all, and perhaps grudges need to be settled privately? Wonder if that has already taken hold in Chicago in some cases?

Drip...drip...drip....

 Given enough time, enough frustration, that drip becomes a stream...

The mother of a straight-A student picks the child up from school 30 minutes early one day a week for a music lesson. This lady donates massive amounts of time, money, energy to the school and its PTO. The principal confronts her, threatens to sic the police on her for truancy. Homeschooling is now actively under consideration, as well as a nastygram from the family attorney to the local Board of Education. Because she wants her child to learn to play Mozart and Bach.

Representatives Mike Kelly's public disembowling of the pitiful political hack just departed from the IRS gives voice to much of that frustration.





The final minute or so is transcribed below...

REP. MIKE KELLY (R-PA): This has nothing to do with political parties. This has to do with highly targeted groups. This reconfirms everything the American public believes. This is a huge blow to the faith and trust that the American people have in their government. Is there any limit to the scope where you folks can go? Is there anything at all? Is there any way that we could ask you is there any question that you should have asked?

My goodness. How much money do you have in your wallet? Who do you get emails from? Whose sign do you put up in your front yard? This is a tax question? And you don't think that's intimidating? It's sure as hell intimidating. And I don't know that I got any answers from you today. And I don't know that -- what Mr. George said is great work -- but you know what? There's a heck of a lot more that has to come out in this. Any anybody that sat here today and listened to what you had to say, I am more concerned today than I was before, and the fact that you all can do just about anything you want to anybody?

You know, you can put anybody out of business that you want. Any time you want. I gotta tell you. You could talk about how you're a horribly run organization, if you're on the other side of the fence, you're not giving that excuse. And the IRS comes in, you're not allowed to be shoddy, you're not allowed to be run horribly, you're not allowed to make mistakes, you're not allowed to do one damn thing that doesn't come in compliance, and if you do, you're held responsible right then. I just think the American people have seen what's going on right now in their government. This is absolutely an overreach and this is an outrage for all Americans.

Even The Atlantic, that bastion of EastCoastPCThought, is beginning to catch on...

Drip-drip-drip...

It's even beginning to publish essays laying the groundwork for a possible impeachment... 

drip-drip-drip-dribble-dribble....

And, since OS assumes some leftist goon reviews his posts, it needs to be made clear: This country will be shattered by a third impeachment in forty years. And, more critically, if bloodshed begins, there is no telling where it will end. No, no, no, no.

But as he stopped into WalMart yesterday to buy printer ink, 'OS checked the ammo counter. Almost completely bare, still. A GoodOleBoy was there, who looked like a cast member from 'Duck Dynasty'.

Says he: 'DANG that Obama! Can't get no ammo, they' buying it all up! Why do they need .22 ammo?'

Says OS: Well, they're absorbing all the manufacturing capacity of the country with their orders.
What do they need with all that 40 caliber, 9mm, .223 ammo? I wonder if they'll turn it on us one day?

GoodOleBoy says: Well. I got me a little stockpile, I can hold 'em off for a while.

Drip-drip-drip-dribble-dribble-shhhhhhhhh....

We are moving onto dangerous ground. Let us pray, remain diligent, remain calm and focused, and abstain from violence. No, no, no, no.
