Agent Admits Tea Party Groups Still In IRS Crosshairs
by Paul Bedard. In a remarkable admission that is likely to rock the Internal Revenue Service again, testimony released Thursday by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp reveals that an agent involved in reviewing tax exempt applications from conservative groups told a committee investigator that the agency is still targeting ... MORERepubs Leaving Party Are Tired Of "Two Evils" Argument
Both parties relentless pimp big government. A new study by the Frontier Lab, a conservative market research group, found that Republican voters who leave the party do so because they are are tired of being told to vote Republican as the "lesser of two evils." The study, "Switching Behavior: Modeling disaffiliation from the Republican ... MOREMark J. Fitzgibbons: Audit The IRS
Unlimited government always becomes lawless. Lois Lerner and other officials at the IRS should be grateful that they do not live in 18th century America when tar and feathering were considered appropriate "remedies" against lawbreakers in government. Better yet for the IRS that this is not late 18th century France. The Tea Party ... MORESasha Goldstein: Obama's Culture Of Corruption
IRS misconducted was prompted by White House. President Obama's administration, fronted by a "paid liar" of a spokesman, has created an anti-conservative atmosphere that led to IRS scrutiny of right-leaning organizations, top Republicans said Sunday. "The culture of the president calling Tea Party groups terrorists and tea-baggers, ... MORERalph R. Reiland: A Government Against Liberty
Public servants or public masters? Let’s say you’re like most people and believe the federal government has become too large, too wasteful, too crooked and too intrusive. Now imagine the morning mail arrives from the money-bleeding U.S. Postal Service ($16 billion in the hole last year) and there’s a letter from the Internal Revenue ... MOREA. Barton Hinkle: Obama's War On The Constitution
Where the "change" is focused. A physician’s expertise makes him capable of inflicting great harm, noted Plato a couple thousand years ago, and no one is better positioned to steal than a guard. So perhaps we should not be surprised that the most conspicuous foe of liberty and the Bill of Rights turns out to be a former professor of constitutional ... MOREIRS Scandal Shows Importance Of Privacy Protections
by Phil Kerpen. IRS apologists are furiously trying to change the subject from the outrageous targeting of political opponents by the IRS to a policy debate over forced disclosure of contributions to groups that engage in political speech. The story is that a deluge of applications forced the IRS to cut corners and the targeting scandal was an ... MORESheldon Richman: Abolish The IRS
(and the income tax with it) The Internal Revenue Service has been caught engaging in
political profiling while processing applications for tax-exempt
status. In this case it was against organizations with “tea-party”
or “patriot ” in their names and other right-wing groups. Next time
it could be libertarian or left-wing antiwar and
pro-civil-liberties ... MOREScott Holleran: A Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy
Based on what we know. Years ago, Hillary Clinton, speaking as the president’s wife, went on NBC’s Today Show and complained of what she called a “vast right-wing conspiracy” without citing evidence. She said there was a conspiracy to discredit her husband over the scandal of his having an affair with an intern. It turned out that there was a ... MORERand Paul: A Staggering Abuse Of Power
Obama's disregard for our Constitution. When I filibustered over domestic drone use, critics said that I was being ridiculous. They said that no American had been killed by a drone on American soil and that no one was likely to be anytime soon. President Obama responded that he hadn’t killed anyone yet and didn’t intend to — but he might. ... MOREThe Obama IRS Nightmare Is Just Getting Started
by Ed Rogers, Washington Post. Your government, as currently administered by President Obama, doesn’t like the word “patriot.”
If you associate yourself with an organization using that word, you may
be investigated and prosecuted. Under Obama, government employees think
they are doing what their superiors want them to do when they ... MORERand Paul, The Next GOP Nominee For President
from the Daily Bell. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) will give the tea party response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday, following the Republican response by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). Amy Kremer of the Tea Party Express announced Friday in a press release: "We are excited to have Senator Paul deliver the 3rd Tea Party State of the ... MOREMatt Kibbe & Deenen Borelli: It's A Black And White Issue
Freedom works. Americans coast to coast are victimized daily by an onslaught of hate
and intolerance. But to Van Jones’s dismay, it’s not coming from the
Tea Party movement. Race traitor, Uncle Tom, sell-out, racist, bigot. These are the names that fiscal conservatives, including
ourselves, encounter daily from members of the liberal ... MOREBruce Bialosky: Crony Capitalism Running Rampant
No limits to political arrogance. “Government ’help’ to business is just as disastrous as government
persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national
prosperity is by keeping its hands off.” That is what Ayn Rand has to
say about government involvement in the world of business, but the full
extent of this practice is difficult to nail down ... MOREJack Kerwick: Liberty-Lovers And Romney
You cannot help but cast a vote for Romney or Obama. Mitt Romney is the presumptive nominee. And libertarians have a decision to make. If they want to make an informed decision, there are several considerations that they need to bear in mind. First, Romney is neither a conservative nor a libertarian. He is perhaps a neo- ... MOREBarry Farber: Morgan Freeman's Afraid Of Me
Helping an adult afraid of the light. Morgan Freeman’s afraid of me. Why? Well, apparently I’m one of the guys on “the other side of the fence”; you know, conservatives, tea partiers, Republicans. I’ve helped children quit being afraid of the dark, but this is the first time I’ve tried it with an Oscar-winning superstar way beyond his childhood. Morgan ... MORELiberal Logic Has Become A Contradiction In Terms
Random thoughts on the passing scene by Thomas Sowell. Many people may have voted for Barack Obama in 2008 because of his charisma. But anyone familiar with the disastrous track record of charismatic political leaders around the world in the 20th century should have run for the hills when they encountered a politician with ...
