It’s been told to me that a member of the sheeple class questions my questioning of Clueless Joe Biden’s intent to hire brigades of extra IRS agents and arm them to the teeth as part of his effort to use governmental agencies as his own secret police effort.
If one pays their taxes, more IRS agents are no problem, or so the naive one posited.
Along that line, law-abiding citizens should not worry about the FBI. Oh, wait, the FBI falsified information to get warrants to spy illegally on Trump aide Carter Page.
FBI agents and administrative types have been found to have been lacking on ethical or legal grounds many times through the years, including often when the goal was to persecute one Donald Trump, or giving a free pass to Hillary Clinton for her email server problem.
Lack of political impartiality was cited specifically by Inspector General Michael Horowitz in his report on the Clinton matter, and he named then FBI director James Comey.
But, again, no need to fear governmental agencies if one is not doing anything wrong. Yeah, right.
I repeat, no need to worry about any government agency, certainly one sworn to uphold the law, because such agencies never would bastardize the law for political purposes.
Specifically regarding the IRS, two words, Lois Lerner. It was under Lerner’s watch that the IRS took it upon itself to give a hard time to conservative organizations seeking tax-exempt status.
A governmental investigation maintained both conservative and liberal groups were given extra scrutiny. Yet a lawsuit filed by more than 400 conservative organizations was settled. I find no mention of a similar settlement with aggrieved liberal organizations.
Using the why-fear-more-IRS-agents-unless-you-are-a-tax-cheat logic, why settle a lawsuit if you are innocent?
The federal government – any government for that matter – is not inherently benign. That is particularly true these days when career bureaucrats are predominantly left-wing and all too eager to use their posts to impose their political philosophy.
The evidence is there if one dares to follow the news. But better to keep one’s eyes closed and continue voting a straight Democratic ticket.
Look how far that’s gotten our area as well as the country.
