Between the WORM drives, the duplicated to backup inboxes, the backup servers, the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly backups that have to retained for years, that are ALL retrievable is proof positive that this administration is as transparent as the Los Angeles Phone book and the American people have been stonewalled by the Media and politicians trying to save the reputation of the Whitehouse, not just for Obama for the integrity of any president to follow. Sadly, we need to not only impeach this president but set a precedent by having him charged with the Crimes he is guilty of.
Maybe if they had blamed it on the Chinese hacking into their systems,etc... it would have been more believable!
It is also amusing in a dark way that the NSA collects ALL of our electronic communication and keeps them for 15 years while the IRS can't keep track of its emails in even the most elementary way. Yeah, right.

Business, as usual, in DC, eh? Stay tuned.
AND, as I usually say, and said when the tapes were first reported 'missing in action,' Wait Three... days, weeks, months... for more 'truth' to surface. It works nearly 100% of the time! And everyone forgets that, every time, especially the breathless MSM...
has died down, and then release heavily redacted
versions -- no-good for evidence -- and grin....... -- j
before I can succeed with a defense, Dinesh

p.s. just channeling Rand a bit, also.......
Thanks!
You seem to miss many critical points in your understanding of Objectivism. One of those is your stated support, financially, with time and with your vote for Obama and your planned same support for Hillary Clinton. Both Obama and Clinton, and whole progressive thinking is collectivist/statist, in that it uses force to violate the rights of the individual by taking from those that produce to give to those that don't. That is the opposite of Objectivism. In the below statement of Objectivist political theory taken from the Atlas Society site, Obama, Clinton and the progressive agenda violates all three of the main elements of that theory.
The Objectivist political theory has three main elements, all of which draw upon the classical liberal political tradition. First, the foundation of the political system should be the fundamental right to live free from physical force. Second, government has the strictly limited function of protecting rights. Third, government power should be exercised in accordance with objective laws. Capitalism is the politico-economic system implied by these principles. http://www.atlassociety.org/objectivist_...
I would say that about any politician who accepts the bipartisan consensus, which does not follow the three main elements you mention.
Ron Paul was the only mainstream (i.e. in the debates) presidential candidate who didn't accept the consensus, at least from the clips I saw on the TV.
You would raise money for Ron Paul, but you vote for obama and will for hillary clinton. That is a major contradiction. What is not a contraction between Paul and the other two? Please explain.
"Logic is the art of non-contradictory identification. A contradiction cannot exist. As atom is itself, and so is the universe; neither can contradict its own identity; nor can a part contradict the whole. No concept man forms is valid unless he integrates it without contradiction into the total sum of his knowledge. To arrive at a contradiction is to confess an error in one's thinking: to maintain a contradiction is to abdicate one's mind and to evict oneself from the realm of reality." - from Galt's speech.
No, I voted in the Democratic primary (with a capital D to distinguish it from the general adj meaning of or relating to democracy).
"You would raise money for Ron Paul, but you vote for obama and will for hillary clinton. That is a major contradiction. What is not a contraction between Paul and the other two? Please explain. "
I like Paul b/c he is the *only* mainstream candidate to get the issues of liberty on the table. That's a great reason to support/vote for him.
None of this is reason to alienate the mainstream political process. It would be purer only to support candidates who raise issues but won't win, and *never* to support mainstream Republicans and Democrats. If everyone did that, it would work. If not, it may or may not help more than having ties with candidates who actually win. There's also the self-interested reason of wanting to have some support among people who actually win to keep gov't off your back. Most of the people who win are not philosophers. They're personable and charismatic. I don't think they're anti-liberty. They go with what works.
He pointed out that the IRS doesn't have a motto.
He suggested that the first line of Catullus' sixteenth carmina might work.
I'll leave it for all of you to research that.
I agree with Williamson.
Maybe the street artist Sabo will take his idea and run with it.

And, yes, I also think it should be the IRS's motto.

It certainly sums up the IRS philosophy very succinctly.
