Having never really studied military tactics, he doesn’t seem to understand the depth of the problems with Blue on Blue fire. Some of the people he’s burning with the Chrysler and GM deals are serious supporters of the Dem party, although not necessarily supporters of him. They’re ramming the bankruptcy through, but I think they are lighting a fuse that will ultimately lead to their downfall. The Washington Times had an article about a couple of dealers her in The People’s Republic of Maryland who are getting burned, notably Fitzgerald, who owns just about 1 of each type of car dealership out there. Never bought a car from him, but he’s got enough pull that at least two Maryland Congress critters are paying attention to him. One of those just happens to be Steny Hoyer.

Now that doesn’t mean the MSM is going to follow the IG scandal. But it doesn’t mean we can’t keep turning up the heat on the MSM either.

whether or not your organization supports their policies. Note that I didn’t say “is Republican.”

I use to help run a completely non-partisan non-profit. We did play nice with some ambassadors because part of the function of our cultural education group was to bring in people from certain countries for some of our activities. Ambassadors tend to like those sorts of things and that tends to get you higher caliber visitors. We did not however explicitly play nice with local politicians, not that we were explicitly ugly to the politicians either – just completely hands off except as it related to specific issues that affected our ability to run events, and even then it was strictly non-partisan. But they decided we needed to be investigated for avoiding taxes anyway. I think the organization managed to prove they weren’t subject to the taxes, but I left the organization about the time the state government was trying to collect the money. Something about a budget shortfall or some such nonsense.

The IGs in the exective branch departments are supposed to conduct investigations without fear or pressure from the executives. Having pressure forced down on the IGs by the executives compromises the inestigation and leads to more fraud and waste in the Governmnet.

If you are read this diary or are listening to Rush today, he is spot on with his assessment of the repercussions of this firing.

This thug administration is counting on us becoming just numbed to this kind of garbage to the point where we don’t even care anymore. They are stealing us blind and running roughshod over all liberties and laws here. At some point either we all lose the ability to care, or we all lose the ability to care that we’re on the list of enemies and we rise up and revolt.

I keep hearing from Rush that everyone is afraid to say what they really think of Obama. I’m not afraid! I think he’s the ultimate menace and danger to America. Something has got to give or break.

I think this is a worthy discussion. Grants, foundations, non-profits, and think tanks all seem rife with fellow travelers. And they’re all affecting policy, and guiding legislation, no matter who’s in charge at a particular time.

Every Republican officeholder should review all of his/her government’s grants and contracts to both for profit and non-profit contractors and grantees. They’d find a vast web of Democrat front organizations, often run by the very Democrats that they just defeated, living off their government. If a Republican loses an election, he, or at least all his staffers, goes back to selling real estate or cars or something; a Democrat hardly breaks stride on the way to a job with some government contractor, a non-profit, or with a university.

The Stupid Party brought a lot of this on itself with our love affair for “privatization.” The typical Republican is so anti-government that they think anything is better done by a contractor. When the Ds saw that the privatization iniatiatives had traction, they jumped in and started up what has now become virtually a shadow government of Democrat front companies providing government funded services.

Any time a government employee goes to some seminar, the odds are almost certain that the company putting on that seminar is Democrat controlled and fully understands that some percentage of its take from the seminar had best find its way to the Party. In Democrat controlled governments, this process is effectively used as a way to launder money directly from the government into Democrat Party hands. Hahvud’s Interest Based Bargaining is perhaps the most callous example. To make collective bargaining between a Democrat government and its unions look like something other than the charade it really is, they’ve invented this elaborate process of training and “identifying interests” that basically just gives the union bargaining team a lot of paid time off and funnels money to the IBB “trainers” who are themselves nothing more than Democrat operatives. It’s nice work if you can get it, however.

and Americorps is the perfect vehicle. Can’t let some IG stand in the way of Comrade Obama getting his paid private army. Just another step in the plan. Invest in precious metals.

The media so desperately wantsThe OBAMBI to succeed they will deliberately ignore this little indiscretion. After all if they let Dealergate slide by without a whimper, preferring instead to heap scorn on the right with the Tiller murder and the Bush and Fox News Hater who commited the Holocaust Museum murder, why should they turn their attention to this minor news tidbit. They did not throw their underwear, bearing the logos of ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and the NYT and the WaPo, onto the stage at the Greek Temple in Denver for no reason at all.
Each little encroachment made by THE ONE’s administration, like the proposed banning of eighty per cent of the nation’s pocket knives, the Sonia Sotomayer nomination, Eric Holder’s dismissal of the Black Panther voter intimidation charges, ever so slightly, incrementally constricts the noose around the neck of personal liberty and individual freedoms, that by the time the rest of the popualtion becomes aware of just how despicable this Presidency is, We The People will be unable to do anything about it.
“When they came for the Jews, I said nothing.
When they came for the Gypsies I still said nothing.
Then they came for the Catholics and I still said nothing.
Then they came for me.”
Remember, that’s how easy it was. Germany was the best educated, ,most advanced, most culturally refined nation on the European Continent in 1933. It couldn’t happen there, but it did.

I mean treason just hurts the country as a whole, exposing non-profits as slush funds for democrats puts their existence at stake.

I mean do the people actually expect them to live on their government salaries ?

When the Dictator in Chief can ignore a ‘law’ he Co-Sponsored and, I presume, voted for…….yet another example that the “Rule of Law” is barely breathing, if at all.

Its time for the media to hold obama, the Senators and Congressman that passed ARRA(America Rape and Reaping Act) in the middle of the night without reading it accountable. obama redi and peloski are just as guilty as Kevin Johnson, the former NBA star who is now mayor of Sacramento, California (and a big Obama supporter). “[Walpin] found that Johnson, a former all-star point guard for the Phoenix Suns, had used AmeriCorps grants to pay volunteers to engage in school-board political activities, run personal errands for Johnson and even wash his car,” the AP reports waqs for misuse of TAXPAYER MONEY.
Reid, peloski, schummmmmmmmmmmmmer, peloski, dodd, and the rest of the Senators and Congressman that voted and passed ARRA should RESIGN immediately unless they can prove they were coerced by obama thugs or Democrats leadership to vote for ARRA.

G.W. Bush was the devil. Whatever he did was for evil and political purpose.

Barrack Hussien Obama, aka “Barry Soetoro,” is the messiah. Whatever he does in unquestionable and for “the good of us all.”

How DARE you question what the news media have described as a “god!”

Behind the “moderate” and “pragmatic” facade of his administration, the neo-marxists brownshirts are doing their dirty. I always thought Americorp and its expansion was a prime target for infultration. These groups, like ACORN, hide behind some noble mission statement and services. What the Americoprs will be is a free ride for inner-city Obama supporters who will use union-like intidiation tactics to consolidate Obama’s base.
