I sense that the pot is about to boil over. Americans want answers on what transpired in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. (Sorry folks but entirely too many stories to link and besides, you should be well aware of this one.) Americans are also confused as to why a Muslim Cleric would be allowed to "disparage and damn" the bodies of Seal Team Six members, and now we find out that the so-called "paranoia" of conservative and Tea Party Group audits and other IRS difficulties was indeed real. Stories here, here, and here.
In response to the IRS revelation, Governor Palin offered the following commentary on her Facebook page:
Let the Light Shine
Today we learned that our government targeted and harassed conservative
Americans who simply wanted to be involved in the national discussion.
Is it any wonder why Americans are so distrustful of D.C.? I'm sure
President Obama is grateful for all the help the IRS gave his reelection
campaign, but, still, you have to wonder how the bureaucrats who tried
to pull this off can sleep at night.
So many Americans knew this was happening, but many felt defenseless
and even helpless against a government that seems to roll along without
accountability or sense of obligation to the people it’s supposed to
serve. These Americans were mocked for being concerned about this, but
now we see light shining on the truth, finally.
This IRS
revelation is another step in the unraveling of the Obama
administration's self-proclaimed “hope and change.” Between the Benghazi
cover-up and the IRS targeting Obama’s political opponents, we see the
corruption at the heart of big government.
Americans should
remember that this same corrupt IRS will be in charge of enforcing
Obamacare. And this same inept and corrupt government will supposedly
secure our now unsecured borders in advance of immigration reform and
will implement a completely ethical and non-political IPAB panel to make
life and death health care decisions for you and your family. Forgive
me for not trusting these big government promises any more than I trust
the White House’s latest Benghazi spin or the IRS’ fairness.
Despite all of this, I still believe that this “fundamental
transformation of America” is temporary. This attempted transformation
into a disheartened, weakened, unrecognizable nation is so far below
anything Americans deserve. It becomes permanent only if we throw up our
hands and surrender to the corruption and cover-ups.
We must
demand more light shine on all that’s transpiring in D.C.’s
self-absorbed bubble. On the IRS scandal, we must have accountability
and a full investigation. On Benghazi, Speaker Boehner must create a
Select Committee with full investigative and subpoena authority to get
to the bottom of the cover-up. Keep the faith, friends.

It's not always easy but I'm keepin' the faith Guv.
