Here<\/a> (emphasis added):<\/span><\/p>\n

When Richard Nixon tried to weaponize the IRS, top officials at the Service made a stink. Under Obama, the IRS weaponized itself<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, of course, the press is in the tank for the Democrats as usual. Bad news about Obama and Clinton has been soft-pedaled, with reporters sometimes admitting that they don\u2019t want to help Trump<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

So if the choice in 2016 is between one bad candidate and another (and it is) the question is, which one will do the least harm. And, judging by the civil service\u2019s behavior, that\u2019s got to be Trump. If Trump tries to target his enemies with the IRS, you can bet that he\u2019ll get a lot of pushback \u2014 and the press, instead of explaining it away, will make a huge stink. If Trump engages in influence-peddling, or abuses secrecy laws, you can bet that, even if Trump\u2019s appointees sit atop the DOJ or FBI, the civil service will ensure that things don\u2019t get swept under the rug. And if Trump wants to go to war, he\u2019ll get far more scrutiny than Hillary will get \u2014 or, in cases like her disastrous Libya invasion, has gotten.<\/span><\/p>\n

So the message is clear. If you want good government, vote for Trump \u2014 he\u2019s the only one who will make this whole checks-and-balances thing work<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Right you are, my man.<\/span><\/p>\n

But more than good government is at stake.  Government itself in the American style is at stake.  We are at a tipping point.  If the destructive, corrupt, lying leftist is elected, it is all over for the USA as she was founded to be.  Despite what the bow-tied pussy-wussies say, there will be no recovery after four-to-eight more years of leftist infiltration of all our institutions and capitulation before our enemies.<\/span><\/p>\n
