Contempt of the Ruling Class

Our political ruling class truly holds the rest of us in contempt.  For years now, the minions of Team Obama have been riding roughshod over anyone not part of their 1% coterie.

First there's the VA Scandal, where any vet that complained was branded "disruptive" by a Death Panel, while bonuses, regardless of job performance, were handed all-round.

Hillary is still trying to convince everyone outside The Beltway that her and Bill aren't that well off.  Since Hillary supported Bill during his shenanigans while residing on Pennsylvania Avenue (not to mention the Arkansas Governor's Mansion), Bill is now returning the favor to re-assure us that our Heiress Apparent isn't "out of touch" and, no really, we were really dead broke.

The arrogance displayed by Lerner and her successor Koskinen, has helped drive the IRS to new lows of unpopularity:  76% say they deliberately destroyed the e-mails.

But no matter what the voting public has to say, the New York Times Branch of the Ministry of Truth thinks traffic snafus in the Tri-State Area is more important (old) news than a government agency targeting Americans and shredding the evidence.  "Move along folks nothing to see here at the IRS..."

And finally, in this round-up of ruling-class contempt, we have the State Department Mouthpiecette, Marie Harf, refusing to demean herself by by apologizing to Bergdahl's platoon for calling them psychopaths. 

But there may be some shred of "a new hope," as House Speaker Boehner plans on suing the WH for altering one deal too many...
