Superstar columnist dabbles in IRS reality


George Will is hailed as one of the toweringly great conservative minds of our time. He's won a Pulitzer for his stuff, and as you might expect, he actually does allot a certain amount of writing space to conservative views.

Not arch-conservative, ultra-conservative or paleo-conservative -- that would be people in your political circles and mine. He's just right-leaning enough to have gotten all the accolades by posing as an ultimate right-winger. This is the System's trick for keeping people like us in the public's blind spot. It's amazing how much of a scene simply disappears if you shine a spotlight very brightly on one part of it.... A very brief page of his good stuff on a gigantically evil subject:

The heavy hand of the IRS seizes innocent Americans’ assets

Forgive my cynicism -- it's hard not to smirk (or cry) when the page also includes a link headlined The Right’s 25 most influential, from Townhall.com: The conservative Web site’s latest listing of the most prominent voices on the right, with a few names you may not know -- with a picture of neocon Rush Limbaugh to illustrate it. #3 in the series is Sarah Palin, a low-class idiot whose presence in politics has to have been some kind of accident.

Now for something more like good economic news:

Using Bitcoin Drives More Social & Political Change Than Protesting & Voting

Maybe this is one even "liberals" can agree with us on -- it's pure passive resistance, so Gandhi-like.

They're not true liberals, but one has to go along with the current jargon sometimes -- you know, like everybody referring to Obummer as the president when everybody knows he's only an Oval Office squatter.
