Dealing with dissidents can be difficult.

Unless, of course, you happen to occupy a high office and have an inclination to silence them.

The simple solution for the Obama administration is to turn the IRS loose on those who dare to disagree with you.  The recent admission from the IRS that they “targeted” Tea Party types can only make us wonder what we DON”T yet know about efforts to silence anyone who speaks out against current policies.

Dr. Ed Picardi may be a case in point.  He has been an outspoken opponent of ObamaCare.  His opposition to government health care goes back all the way to Hillary-Care, and he has not been quiet about it.  He reports tomorrow to begin serving five years in prison for “income tax evasion”.  The short story is that his conviction is viewed by many who followed it closely as nothing more than political retribution.

In State politics, there are ways to deal with dissidents as well.  South Dakota Speaker of the House, Brian Gosch joined with the Pennington County Republicans to sue Stephanie Strong, who dared to challenge Gosch for notarizing his own nominating petitions, which many viewed as a clear violation of the law.  The “court” recently ruled that Strong is responsible for over $20,000 in attorney fees for Gosch, even though it was understood that his attorney was working “pro-bono”.

While none of this is new to power and politics, it speaks to the evil present in the hearts and minds of those we have chosen to lead our States and our Nation.
