Comment on Some More Thoughts about the IRS by David Hoffman

Thank you for your comment. I can’t help thinking how quaint the phrase civil servant seems today. It has been a long time since these people thought they were our servants.

Human nature being what it is should be the reason we stress personal responsibility over government responsibility for the individual. We think they are faceless bureaucrats, but they live and vote in self interest patterns and those are the interests of bigger government. So it would be natural for them, given a chance, to favor a person who thinks as they do over a person who opposes their very existance to help the one and hinder the other.

The real issue is the loss of the phrase “civil servant”. We lost that when we lost the Christian value of leadership which is servanthood. Take Christianity out of our nation and we lose the notion that we are located in our place of life to serve others, it becomes all about what I can get out of the deal.

Keep up the good work!

Comment on Blocking Obama’s Agenda by David Hoffman

I think he has decided that he doesn’t want to share the fate of his colleague Richard Lugar. In the era of the Tea Party wishy-washy RINOs get primary challenges.

He’s never really impressed me in the past, but lately, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Hope he keeps it up.

I have never been very fond of Mitch McConnell in the past but you’re right. He must be doing something right to get the progressives to declare him public enemy number one.

Reblogged this on PUMABydesign001's Blog and commented: Judging from the propaganda campaign unleashed earlier this month by Mother Jones, Mitch McConnell is clearly hitting a nerve. Progressives have declared war on McConnell which means that even though he represents the establishment McConnell must be doing something right.
