Scandal Farm: Obama's future for AmericaOne ugly scandal after another comes from Washington, but nothing is done about them. What will happen if this continues?Wednesday, November 6, 2013 - Talking Sense by Tim KernTim KernANDERSON, Ind., November 6, 2013 — Washington produces one scandal after another: presidential cronyism and the double-cross of Jamie Dimon at JP Morgan Chase; Kathleen Sebelius’s shakedown of the healthcare industry; IRS harassment and targeting of conservative groups; the Benghazi coverup; spying on journalists; spying on Americans’ emails and phone calls; the “you can keep your health insurance, period” lie; the NSA spying on everyone from German Chancellor Angela Merkel to their girlfriends. The scandals keep on coming, and no one in Washington seems prepared to stop them.Any one of these scandals would easily bring down a Republican president, but our nation’s press, much like an abused spouse, is still a faithful Democratic lapdog.There are others: the president’s refusal to enforce immigration and other laws; the Justice Department’s gun-running to Mexican druglords; the illegal recess appointments; sanctioning vote fraud; violation of treaties; failure to submit or pass budgets; carrying on war without congressional decree. These are impeachable offenses, and nothing is done about them.Among non-impeachable, but serious attacks on America are Obama’s use of the sequester and “shutdown” to force as much public pain as possible, without taking a break from his golf game; closing open-air monuments like those in Washington, the Grand Canyon, and Mt. Rushmore; forcing religious-based hospitals and others to pay for abortions; the destruction of the coal industry; cash for clunkers, where real clunkers were ineligible; stepping into criminal investigations, e.g., Trayvon Martin, to stir up unrest and tilt the jury; runaway spending; calling increasing the debt “borrowing,” with no plan or intent to ever pay it back.The elites in Washington all want to be president, or at least to be close to the president. Even when their party is out of power, they don’t want to be marginalized by their fellow elites. With very few exceptions — Senators Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Mike Lee, Representatives Jason Chaffetz or maybe Paul Ryan or Tom Price, or Michelle Bachmann — members of Congress don’t want to rock the boat; and in any case, those bodies are part of the power-elite problem. It is their job to keep the Executive Branch within the Constitution, but they are as little-interested in that duty as is the president himself.Clearly, the FBI has jurisdiction to arrest the breakers of federal law, but the FBI isn’t interested in the law. The law applies differently to the ruling class. The House has the power and duty to impeach a lawless president; the Senate is bound to remove him from office. Constitution? What Constitution?

Tea Party members, conservatives, and Christians will be deemed terrorists, therefore a push to have them removed from society will come.

I would say Paul Ryan is quite establishment.He's as much a charlatan as the rest
but our nation’s press, much like an abused spouse, is still a faithful Democratic lapdog.
