IRS SCANDAL UPDATE: How the IRS, FBI and Justice Department Are Agents of Modern American Tyranny. “Imagine being awakened in the middle of the night by a gang of police, shouting and waving their weapons at you. They turn your house inside-out, steal your laptop and phone, then order you not to tell anyone they were there. All this happened because your political beliefs landed on the wrong side of those officials in power. This is not a scenario from China, Russia, or Iran. Welcome to the very real tyranny of modern America.” Just ask a lot of folks in Wisconsin. But my advice: Punch back twice as hard. Because these putzes are just as lousy at tyranny as they are at everything else.
