We need merely wait to hear which Criminal Operatives go to long, LONG, Federal Prison terms...

...OR...

We know the current Insider Republicans are complicit in these Felony, Federal Crimes...

and write all of them off as Enemies of Americans! This is a now defined, Rogue, Anti-American, Agency, we MUST eliminate or be crushed under its weight. The IRS will survive, "OR" the USA will survive...

EITHER one we prefer.

I guess i am not aware that liberals have turned against Israel.

I have a distinct dislike for the treatment of ordinary Palestanians by Israeli's and an equal distaste for the terrorism against Israel.

I do object to the blind American/Israeli supporters who can find no fault with Israel.

Yes, they do think they can get away with it....that includes Obama.  He has been given a pass for 6 years now, so why wouldn't he believe he can get away with this abuse of power and more lies now?

I work for a relatively small county government as well as the State of Georgia. I have email accounts with them as well as the US Department of Defense and of course my personal account from my ISP. Not a single email I send or receive resides on the hard drive of any computer I use. They are received and stored on mail servers that stand alone from the other computers. They all have back up systems as well, kind of like Carbonite or other similar services. There is no way any of the emails can be lost unless a failure of several components of the system all crash simultaneously or IT professionals intentionally delete them, a process that involves more than hitting the "delete" button. Accidentally deleted data, including mail traffic, on those drives can usually be retrieved with very little effort according to the IT guys I have asked. And to expect anyone to believe that 2 whole years worth of traffic was lost is just incredible. This story is so much bullshit.

Why would they just sit there to film it and not even try to break it up where is the humanity where is love neighbor and/or forgiveness. Nobody deserves that in front of the kids. That shows what kind of person the lady in the red is.

The headline makes it sound like some kind of "high school dress code" issue when, in fact, it's more serious than that. These are grown adults in a fully professional environment, and they must dress to elicit respect while maintaining discipline.
It would be absolutely the same if not stricter in the United States.

If drugs were legalized, I doubt very much that 15 year old would be able to get them legally. Those regarded as adults, eg 18 plus, might be able to obtain them, but in limited quantities. People would still resort to illegal methods. There would still be a huge criminal drug industry. There would still be quality control issues. But I expect legalization would increase greatly the amount of drug use. Would that be progress?

Most of the MSM isn't even reporting it.  And you can be sure this would be front page for months if it wasn't a Dem and Obama in particular.

Spare me your blather and revisionism......  And you aren't being reasoned here.  You are being a good little partisan hypocrite.  If this was a Republican, every one of you Bots would be screaming your lungs out and for once, you'd be right to do so.   
What I suspect,  is that the administration is utterly full of it.  NO ONE with a lick of sense believes the IRS lost those emails.  Or that they aren't retrievable even if a computer crashed.  Your pretense at caring about facts is, as always, a bore.  This is a purposeful attempt, in a long string of purposeful attempts, to keep damning facts from being made public.  

No one appreciates you not setting aside reason in favor of conspiracy theories more than original FSA members from the old board days.

Sorry, meant to add this...all he needs to do is stall these scandals from being fully exposed in all their glory just long enough to get out of office.  He knows that pursuing the truth after he is gone will result in nothing more than a Friday night news dump with 99% of the people won't hear about or care about.   And there is no way the next prez is going to do diddley squat about it in so far as it relates to him and probably not for those down the ladder either.

It's undoubtedly a case of plausible deniability.  But you can be sure that if Obama wanted to cooperate fully, all relevant information would have already been handed over, sorted through, heads rolled, and case closed by now.  He knows damn well there was a systemic abuse of power, as does anyone who isn't a Bot.

It has no shape. Time is an emergent phenomenon, not a fundamental one. I'd like to think that with a black hole, there is a big bang happening on the other side. T = |e|

I'm actually reading a biography of Philip K Dick right now and he had an interesting take on time. He called it orthogonal time. There are two times, our normal flowing time and that time, where all moments exist at once and there is no past present or future.

I would never argue with the proposition that religious belief is part of human nature. As a child, I was indoctrinated into the beliefs of my tribe (working-class Roman Catholicism of the 1950s and '60s), but I took to it like a duck to water, so I know what a natural fit it can feel like.

I wasn't suggesting that religion has dibs on love. Quite the opposite, actually -- more like religion is one widespread method through which human empathy -- i.e., love -- manifests itself. I was also merely observing that organized religion (most particularly, from my vantage point, Christianity) "does" love more noticeably than many other organized human endeavors do. As a non-religious person myself, I'm not unaware of the unacceptable levels of sanctimony that goes along with religious belief, but on balance, I'll take a world with religion in it,despite all the bloodshed, over its opposite because I'm pretty well convinced that human beings can fix themselves without having to shed everything (you know, the baby-with-the-bathwater analogy). Religion has been with us from the beginning and it ain't going nowhere, and since it's inextricably mixed up with our capacity for empathy, I regard it hopefully (if not faithfully). In fact, because it is overwhelmingly Christian, I believe that contemporary right-wing American conservatism will eventually realize that so many of its immoral, non-Jesus-like political stances are just that -- violations of the code of the Christian gospels. (It should go without saying that I could be completely wrong, of course.)

welcome to the world of backhanders, greed, and plane old school tie, nepotism, these people are having a proper laugh at our expense and keep getting away with it as the inspectorate is made up of the same school tie wearing, chinless wonders .

too many people watching too many movies, but the hollywood drive for man's technological leaps in the the future will be a bit chicken / egg, with new technology inspiring new movies, and new movies inspiring some people wanting to become robots
each year in the next million years some people who want to go down the robot route can get a bit more robotic if the technology is developed which it probably will be to a certain extent, a bit like robocop type technology but without the guns because guns will be banned

first of all there will be "robot suit" type options like exo-skeletons, such as in the spiderman movie with willem dafoe - green goblin, and in the aliens movie with sigourney weaver stuck in the big loader robot fighting the mother alien

then the human brain will be installed in to the small honda robot, *asimo and other bigger robots like in the transformer movies where you can transform into anything not just a truck or a car (also using nanobots like in *keanu reeves - the day the earth stood still).

if you have an accident in the future you might also wake up as a robot, depending how many bits you lost in the accident, and you would be given a few months to try it out if you like it, otherwise you could switch yourself off for a few years and may be try it again later

or robots will evolve into humans like robin williams in bicentennial man


*asimo - means advanced step in innovative mobility, which really is asiim - more of a hindu sounding name like aseem meaning limitless or endless, but is really a shortened version of (isaac) asimov 1920-1992 the first robot inventor

*keanu - means fresh air flowing over the mountains

Religious belief can arise from many impulses -- fear, curiosity, you name it -- but one impulse I think it definitely comes from is love, which seems to be an essential component of all the big religions (and probably all the lesser known ones that I'm not familiar with): the Golden Rule, which they all build upon, springs from the instinctive human experience of empathy, which is just another word for love. My favorite religion, in terms of being something that's a manifestation of the human impulse to love, is Christianity. I don't know enough about the charitable efforts of non-Christian religions, but, wow -- you've gotta give it up for the tremendous human good that gets done by groups of people motivated by the gospels of the New Testament. Throughout my life, I've known and sometimes worked with religiously motivated people carrying out wonderful acts of human kindness (another synonym for love), and have always contributed to Christian charities. True enough, it may all just be due to ordinary human kindness, but, well . . . who cares? If it helps people to do so many good things, I'm quite certain I don't want a world free of "irrational" belief.

Someone once suggested they would rather see the first 300 names in a phone book sent to washington d.c. than anyone who deliberately seeks to go there.

I rather like that.  In fact, I think congress should be appointed by lottery.  Senate, too.  Even the executive.  If you served in the military or on a jury, you're in the lottery.
