Why would anybody be surprised about this? The fact is there is little courage of conviction in a guy like Rubio. He sees himself first as Hispanic and secondly as American. This willy nilly behavior is the rule rather than the exception and is typical RINO behavior. Of course he says one thing to one group and another to another group and fully expects the fall out to be minimal and it usually is. We shall see- but it isn't promising as the make up of congress is geared toward liars like Rubio.

I have noticed that as well. I believe they haven;t yet received the updated talking points. You know Obummer had his notes missing the other day at the lectern so its highly likely they have a blank slate in their heads that needs filling up by the latest in lies.

He knows how stupid "we" (the country as whole is) are. "We" voted him in twice.

Now now Kyoung she endured the Dan White murders of Harvey Milk and Moscone the mayor. That traumatized her SO MUCH that she needs your guns, your e-mails, your phone records and your money. I mean a public servant like her is entitled to all of you and me because she was traumatized. She is a victim don't you know?

So Obama knows we are safe from the government using this information inappropriately but does not know what happened in any of these scandals (Rhinegartens point below). If we are so stupid as to not use logic with our government-then we deserve tyranny. This cra p about its a dangerous world and we need to know everything about everybody in the country while we have porous borders and allow illegals the freedom of citizens then we have lost our collective minds. To think that we have a government that doesn't give a dam- who comes in and yet does all this is the equivalent of putting on a blindfold and banging our heads against the wall and wondering why we have a headache.

Uh oh! Rhinegarten you are using logic` DING-NOT ALLOWED in our Orwellian nightmare! Remember its trust and obey vs. Reagan's Trust but Verify.

The sad fact is you are correct. However, I am 57 years old and have seen the average American's understanding of how their government operates diminish significantly over the decades. Even engaging these people on a basic level like "Hey did you here about the IRS story?" is tantamount to "did you hear the Martians landed?" I know there are many well informed people but I think the inflection point is in a general negative direction. That's not good. Also the IRS story doesn't directly effect me, however it could and that is disturbing enough. A person whose self interest is as narrow as you say is not a good citizen in my view. Freedom requires eternal vigilance. And we are failing miserably on that count.

Of course Ann you are correct. One problem though the American Public (a larger and larger minority of them) don't read, think, reason and come to conclusions. There is just too much stimulation to imbibe. So I understand why Fox or others show the stupid dancing and acting under the auspices of the IRS and our tax money. Of course that may endear them to the IRS. My point is that FACTS are becoming increasingly irrelevant to a greater and greater amount of Americans and our school systems have won the day- people are drones who see the world through the eyes of children- not the child likeness Christ talked of- but the childishness the Apostle Paul warned of. Good luck because we are gonna need it.

By grace you have been saved through faith and that NOT of yourself lest any man should BOAST. Ephesians 2:8-9

Excellent article Mike. The only problem is your dealing with facts that wont be checked out by Mormons. They will say what the commenter says below or they will quote their church or they will hurl insults. You see Mike in this day and age- FACTS don't matter- emotion does. Its funny but its not just libs who recoil at facts, many people do of all stripes these days. I became a believer in 1981 and accepted the free gift of eternal life Jesus offers and yet I had tons of questions about the Bible and I researched like a mad man because I wanted assurance about the God and the Book He gave us- I found answers and NO church needed to guide me and no man needed to see me through. God's Word is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

What is with this guy?? ---easy he is a fraud. He and McLame are the eternal voices of Benedict Arnold in the conservative ranks. They have both been at it for decades. They hate conservatives more than any confirmed leftist they ever met.
