why trust the government? Given recent events, is there any reason to?
Sometimes you aren’t paranoid–they really are out to get you. The obvious and clear facts are turning even hard leftists.
So when are we going to get an honest media?
And I think this IRS scandal will eventually end with people going to jail (there are those who certainly deserve it), though it will take a long time. But the real victims (apart from the public, natch) may well be gun control and immigration legislation. These are based purely on trust. Obama has really soiled himself this time. I’m sure he’ll stay out of jail and will most likely stay in office. Yeah, he will again avoid what he so richly deserves.
The Benghazi and AP problems hurt because they are merely further proofs of untrustworthiness.
