Impotent Government

Impotent Government

Obama signs an executive order and within weeks or months the action is put in place, yet when four Americans are killed in Benghazi, we have congressional hearings. Benghazi hearings have been going on for over two years and will go on for the foreseeable future, nobody has been held accountable. Fast and Furious gun running scandal has outlasted Holder who will leave office as soon as he is replaced, once again nobody has been held accountable. How about the IRS targeting scandal? Nope, nada, nothing, zero has happened to the people who targeted conservative groups.

All of these scandals have held their own hearings and while they have generated some amazing sound bites, I would rather see some amazing prison terms. Screaming, yelling, walking out, denials, and lies will not bring the people back who died in Benghazi or killed by guns provided by the ATF. Whistle blowers have been fired and abused, reporters have been hacked, but not one person who participated in these scandals has had so much as a slap on the wrist.

When the President and his administration can enact working laws within weeks but can cover up lawless actions by his administration for years, (if not forever), we have an impotent government incapable of doling out justice. What good is “checks and balances” when they can be ignored.

I don’t know about you but I have had a gut full of blowhard politicians calling for justice, holding hearings, bloviating on the nightly news, and yet nothing happens. Seems like a tremendous waste of time and money. If the press refuses to investigate these matters and force the hand of the politicians, it may be time to get rid of congressional hearings and start building gallows outside the capital, seems to be the only way to get their attention.

The longer all of these scandals go on the more they are ignored and perceived as not important. Instead of impeachment or prison the perpetrators go into retirement on fat pensions and money stuffed in their pockets from crony backroom deals. And that my friends is more than criminal.
