The Real Reason To Worry About "Big Government"

I tend to doubt it, but I hope that this will make it clear that the right-wing obsession with Benghazi is all about the 2016 presidential election.  The White House appears to be Hillary's to lose, and the GOP knows it doesn't have a prayer--except, possibly, that they can turn Benghazi into a partisan club.

Not a chance, folks.  Benghazi only proves how tough it can be to protect Americans in the Middle East, especially when the outraged are the ones who (a) cut funding for embassy security and (b) ignored the 60 similar deaths on their watch in the Bush years.

And the currently building kerfuffle over IRS agents flagging Tea Party tax files?  Probably a snafu by career bureaucrats--a number of whom got their jobs in the Bush years, and have an incentive to embarrass their current boss.  Isn't going to go anywhere, either.

But there is a reason to worry about big government taking over our lives.  It's the party that spends most of the time warning us about "big government," getting some people to look one way while they destroy the country from another direction.  And they're prepared to do it in the most personal ways possible, by sterilizing women who have had abortions.

They're not even hiding how bad they are anymore.  If that doesn't make you worry about what is now clearly the greater threat to your personal freedom, you will be responsible for the death of America.  Stop watching the mainstream media sideshow, and start paying attention to what is happening anywhere and everywhere that Republicbullies are in charge.

Right now.
