What the HECK is going on with the leaders of the Republican party? Why was the perpetrator of the IRS crimes against the citizens of this country allowed to march in, give a sanctimonious, contemptuous, self serving speech and then leave without answering ANY QUESTIONS, claiming the "fifth amendment."
WHAT THE HECK?
UPDATE: Well, now. It looks like she opened herself up for more questioning by having that opening statement. Hm. Back in front of committee? YES!
We areTHE RESISTANCE.

And so we fight on
I started this blog years ago because I was so fed up and angry with the direction this country has been taking, particularly with the arrogant disconnect of lawmakers of all parties from the actual working part of the country. You know, people like us out here in what they condescendingly call flyover country because all they ever do is fly over it when they need votes.
The attitude of the political elite was captured perfectly when Harry Reid pointed out that he had to be near the people in the Capitol building and it bothered him because they smell:
Many of us have become good friends over these years; I must say I was demoralized by the last election, as they have been.
What could be happening to this country we love so much that others could look at you and say, "I want what's yours--material and spiritual--and I don't want to have to work for it."
What could be happening to this beloved country that others could so hatefully spit out words like "racist" or "homophobe" just because we do not share the same moral values?
What could be happening to this country that so many people could not see through the invisible flibbertigibbet of a human being who so easily demonizes those he chooses to destroy?
The vicious attitude Obama and his people displayed toward others after the election accelerated, even as he traveled around the world denouncing our country, accepting unearned prizes and talking of the ways he intends to "fundamentally transform" this nation.
Increasingly marginalized, many of us turned toward our new friends around the nation, most of who we had never met anywhere other than cyberspace.
It was here, in cyberspace, that we vented our frustrations, envisaged our dreams and formed goals for re-establishing some kind of order in this country.
But even at this little blog, we noticed that the feds were watching.
Who?
Well, many times when we wrote about something touchy in DC and, yes, the Office of the President of the United States checked in to read our articles.
Impossible?
Apparently not only NOT impossible, but likely, considering all that we've seen exposed in the last two weeks.
Oddly, in this time of outrage when so much commenting should be inspired, I have had little to say.
Utterly disgusted with politics, Obama and the Democrats, as a voter I could not be angrier and for once, find myself speechless with absolute contempt and revulsion for the people running our country, both "right" and left.
While we see voices on the left beginning to emerge dissenting with the Obama KGB policies of wiretapping, harassment and prejudice, we still don't really see anyone disagreeing with the absolute HATE exhibited by Leftists toward anyone who disagrees with their revisionist history and policies.
An old friend stopped by my house the other day; in the past he had been easy to talk to, joking about various world and local events and tolerant of our disagreements.
During our conversation about political events, he queried me about someone I supported in an election, asking if I had "seen his birth certificate" or realized the politician was "probably from Kenya," as if a person's skin color was a reason to qualify or disqualify him or her for office.
The implication was clear. I must be a racist since I did not like Obama so how could I be interested in supporting someone "like that."
I don't know if this "friend" meant to imply this but he certainly did and there we come to the conundrum.
I am tired of people like this. I am tired of being viewed through the HATE LENS that the Left has used so successfully against people like me. I am sickened by the bilge emerging from the very head of this country so when people say they "support" this man, I know I really don't want to be around them because HATE is the operative word of this administration.
Looking back, now, however, it's so easy to see that much of what this administration has done from DAY ONE is operate on fear and intimidation.
Scare off the little folks from meeting together by not allowing them to form the same organizations the Left has formed so easily, one by Obama's brother which was backdated to make his donations legal.
Scare off people from voting by subjecting the head of True the Vote to SEVENTEEN interrogations by various government agencies.
Scour the web to watch for dissent and turn in those who protest Obama's policies. Might I remind that a well known newswoman became the face of the Obama campaign for peeping in others' cyber windows.
Pass regulations--more and more and more--that encourage the absolute enslavement of people to free stuff, taken from the productivity of others, to put us on an unsustainable path like France where this last year over 8,000 families paid more than 100% of their incomes to the slugs who want to retire by 50 without working a 40 hour week until they're eligible.
On and on it goes.
Now, this blog post may sound despairing but I do not mean it to.
What's clear at this point is the modus operandi and the purpose of these policies and patterns of behavior.
Fear is the way this man and his automatons have chose to control the masses. Sure, "freedom" is offered in the context of what the government will give YOU if you go along if you're stupid enough not to remember that what they give, they can take away.
I didn't understand why Andrew Breitbart had to die. He was such an inspiration to so many of us, pulling the hard weight of calling out celebrities, Leftists and politicians of all stripes.
But now I believe the House of Cards is falling down. Yes, they've won their second term.
But I often wonder what we would have been like if Romney had won. Would we slip back into the same sleep we were in before?
I've said before that I believe our generation---I refer now to the baby boomers--seemed to go two ways.
Our parents had emerged from a terrible war; they wanted the quiet peace of the little white house with the picket fence and just a family gathered together to live and work modestly.
We--the baby boomers--had not suffered as the WW2 generation and we did not like being subjected to the commitments of the Vietnam war. We wanted more out of our lives. More of everything. More food. More stuff. More easy living.
If you go to a Tea Party rally, you'll most likely see the group made up of many older folks like the Baby Boomers. You'll see moms in their late 30s worried about the future for their kids. You'll see, yes, people of color who love this country passionately for its opportunities and its diversity.
And, though I am not a Republican, if you look at the wider picture you'll see that the Republican party has a far deeper and diverse bench of upcoming leaders than the Democrat party, who has, yes, the Anthony Weiners and Harry Reids and Nancy Pelosis, rich fatcats who are connected to the "right" people.
Now is not the time to falter. So the DHS shows up to intimidate Tea Party rallies around the country?
Well, it's pretty obvious what is happening here.
We realize and remember THIS, above all else.
And freedom, whether we realize it or not, is the basis for the Tea Party movement in this country.
So on we strive for freedom.
Never give up.
The attitude of the political elite was captured perfectly when Harry Reid pointed out that he had to be near the people in the Capitol building and it bothered him because they smell:
"And the people who work here joke about you can always tell when it's summertime because you can smell the visitors. And what we mean by that Mr. President – they stand out there in the high humidity, heat, sweating, and it’s really – there’s no place for them to go.”As one of those working, sweating flyover people, I decided for the first time in my life to really speak up, so when I heard through the grapevine that there was going to be a gathering at Hood Park in Perrysburg, I hightailed it down there, only to find hundreds and hundreds of other people who felt exactly the way I did.
Many of us have become good friends over these years; I must say I was demoralized by the last election, as they have been.
What could be happening to this country we love so much that others could look at you and say, "I want what's yours--material and spiritual--and I don't want to have to work for it."

Opportunist Leftists use tornado tragedy for advantage
Daily Show writer thinks it's really funny to joke about the dead in Oklahoma by tweeting:
I'm just wondering when a tornado ISN'T devastating.
And then there's the Rhode Island "Senator" who used the tornados to accuse the Republicans of not really working on global warming, even though there's been an inexplicable slowdown of warming. The Daily Caller:
Surely those tornados wouldn't have occurred if we had a global warming TAX to fix the wind, the rain and those danged weather systems.
This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives.Later she tweeted that she had probably made the "joke" too soon, before the "devastation" was revealed.
I'm just wondering when a tornado ISN'T devastating.
And then there's the Rhode Island "Senator" who used the tornados to accuse the Republicans of not really working on global warming, even though there's been an inexplicable slowdown of warming. The Daily Caller:
“So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care if we Republicans run off the climate cliff like a bunch of proverbial lemmings and disgrace ourselves? I’ll tell you why. We’re stuck in this together. We are stuck in this together. When cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricanes swamp Alabama and wildfires scorch Texas, you come to us, the rest of the country, for billions of dollars to recover. And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn’t just hit Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with floods and storms. It hits Oregon with acidified seas, it hits Montana with dying forests. So, like it or not, we’re in this together.”
Whitehouse went on to condemn the current Republican position on global warming, citing economic, environmental and diplomatic damages.Yes, Republicans, conservatives and capitalists are positively despicable, aren't they?
Surely those tornados wouldn't have occurred if we had a global warming TAX to fix the wind, the rain and those danged weather systems.
A 4th Obama scandal?
It's not like we can limit it to THREE, anyway.
Between the cowardly craven behavior of White House political operatives toward the 4 murdered Americans in Benghazi, the illegal and extensive harassment of Romney/Republican/Tea Party supporters by the IRS & the EPA and other government agencies, and the DOJ snooping on reporters by covertly monitoring their private cell phones and email messages, you'd think we've had enough scandal.
As if THAT isn't enough, we discover today that two Fox reporters--James Rosen and William LaJeunesse- and a FNC producer have also been monitored by the DOJ. The Democrat press is now defining "criminalizing reporting" as "dangerous" territory.
Obama knows nothing--NOTHING--of all this.
But now we learn from a CIA source that somewhere out in the atmosphere another fourth scandal lurks, and that White House aides are very nervous because it's a big one.
We'll see, since nothing seems to shake the public's confidence in the Master of Disaster that is Barack Hussein Obama.
Rush has been down on all this stuff. If YOU'RE down, you might want to catch a little Red Eye Radio. They have a different take on what's going down. They blog a bit and the podcasts are priceless.

Planned Parenthod's Happily Abets Felony Rape
Suppose you are in the country illegally and impregnate a 14 year old girl. It's a felony and if you are caught you will surely be deported. Who can help? Planned Parenthood, of course. Life News has the story from the Bellingham Herald (Bellingham, Washington)
A Washington State man who impregnated a preteen girl and forced her to have an abortion must serve a six-year prison sentence, then leave the country
Luis Gonzalez-Jose, 31, raped the girl at a home in rural Whatcom County while her mother was in the shower, according to charging documents filed in Whatcom County Superior Court.
He brought the girl to a Planned Parenthood clinic in August 2012. She told staff members that her 14-year-old boyfriend impregnated her, but she couldn’t give the boy’s name or address.
Six weeks after the abortion, the girl told a detective how she had really become pregnant. Gonzalez-Jose had insisted “it would be best for her” to not have the baby, according to the documents.
Gonzalez-Jose pleaded guilty to second-degree rape of a child in April.
He's not Milton but...
One of the fall guys of the Benghazi attack is an avid poet. Raymond Maxwell is one of 4 middle echelon State Dept employees chosen by the farcical Accountability Review Board to take the blame for Hillary Clinton's dereliction of duty. A viewing of Maxwell's blog yields this pearl.
I ran into a neighbor outside the building.
She said, “I read your poem today.”
We made some small talk, politics
chit-chat that only Washingtonians
care about. I steered the small talk back.
“So how did you like my poem?”
She said, “It sounded bitter, but I understood.”
I smiled and thought to myself: perhaps
twelve revisions would have made it sweeter.
and
Trapped in a purgatory
of their own conceit…
The web of lies they weave
gets tighter and tighter
in its deceit
until it bottoms out -
at a very low frequency -
and implodes.
It may be just a matter of perception –
they can’t undo their wrongs
for fear it’d undermine their
perceived authority –
an authority they think they require
to stay in charge.
Yet all the while,
the more they talk,
the more they lie,
and the deeper down the hole they go.
There’s nothing I need to go back to -
nothing to re-litigate -
nothing to defend -
and certainly nothing to prove
to the unworthy.
Just wait…
just wait and feed them rope.
SNL hits Sharpton
And it's actually pretty good. The comic portrayal of the Tea Partier is fair, considering how many costumes we saw in the early days. Actually SNL takes some pretty impressive jabs at the ignoramus Al Sharpton.

Marine umbrella photo a big mistake
Hey, low information voters don't get Benghazi, nor do they care.
Low information voters don't get QE3, the vast printing of $85 billion monthly the Fed has been undertaking. (When Obama took office, $870 billion were in circulation. Now it's somewhere over a trillion dollars with more every month.)
But low information voters get the IRS threats, mistreatment and "We are your overlords" behavior (not to mention being the "cheetahs").
They also get what's wrong with this:
As I said, who's to stop Obama? He doesn't care about silly things like protocol, tradition, patriotism or even social mores.
Obama has let it be known that he wants to "go Bullworth," an idea Leftists salivate for. This would mean Obama would actually tell the truth about who and what he really is.
You're already 90% there.
I say go for it, Bozo.

They also get what's wrong with this:
The commander in chief of the American armed forces today forced a violation of Marine Corps regulations, so he wouldn’t get wet.
According to Marine Corps regulation MCO P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations chapter 3, a male Marine is not allowed to carry an umbrella while in uniform. There is no provision in the Marine Corps uniform regulation guidelines that allows a male Marine to carry an umbrella.Huh. Wonder if Big Ears Howdy Doody could hold his arm up that long.

Obama: fear is how I win. CRUCIFY 'em.
The past week has been very interesting to political gadflies.
Of course, we Tea Partiers have known for years that Obama is not only a disaster, but an evil selfish disaster who considers himself the POTUS of Leftists, not conservatives.
In fact, we conservatives are anathema to the Obamabots, so much so that he and his people have been working steadily and maliciously to disenfranchise those of us who disagree with their politics.
To a degree, they've been successful, as numerous patriot groups tried unsuccessfully to organize against IRS harassment. Surely some have dropped out of the movement from fear and exhaustion; the truth is that what's happened to Tea Party groups has followed the Obama philosophy, so well expressed by one of his hires over at the EPA, which is also guilty of using taxpayer funds and power to punish conservatives.
In fact, the EPA drags their feet and charges patriot groups for the same thing they waive for Leftist groups.
Remember Al Armendariz of the EPA, explaining that his philosophy of getting companies to "obey the law" of the EPA?
Here's what the EPA does; they pass onerous laws, so vast, expensive and regulating that companies have difficulty even knowing what the laws are, much less following them. To build public support for low-info voters, EPA runs sad and pathetic commercials with children coughing, complaining about air and life quality, accompanied by violins.
Then the feds move in, claiming the company is in violation of [fill in the blank]. Fine the company and make unreasonable demands, affirming that our government overlords have the power to do anything they want.
IOW, fillet 'em and string 'em up high on the outskirts of the town to make the rest of the town compliant.
Is this not the Obama philosophy in a nutshell?
Back to CNS's coverage of the EPA administrator, who smirks through explaining his hang 'em high philosophy:
I saw an old friend at Lowe's the other day; naturally we turned to politics. He said, "But Obama wouldn't do THAT, would he?" referring to some outrageous Obama executive order. I realized at the time and replied, "Who's to stop him? Who is there to stop this man from doing whatever he wants?"
Indeed, fear has been the primary motivating factor of the Obama administration, who takes pride in appearing "cool," (cruel) "detached," (unfeeling), "no drama," (heartless).
I realize many of us backed off after the disappointment of the last election; the country is spiraling out of control, with news reports of monstrous abortionists, atheists' lawsuits, and a massive and mounting financial burden for today's children.
Let us remember what we would have been and done if Romney had won: would we have slid back into the same squirrel! mentality of only paying attention to the latest scandal or immediate events in our personal lives?
This should be a time of great prayer as we approach the 2014 elections and before we go into battle again.
A few words for the day:

“Their practice is to take care of their friends and impose ridiculous obstacles to deny problematic parties’ requests for information,” Horner said.Again, this is just Obama's philosphy, stated here: "We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ another incident seen here.

Back to CNS's coverage of the EPA administrator, who smirks through explaining his hang 'em high philosophy:
“It was kind of like how the Romans used to, you know, conquer villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go in to a little Turkish town somewhere, they’d find the first five guys they saw and they’d crucify them.
“Then, you know, that town was really easy to manage for the next few years.”
“It’s a deterrent factor,” Armendariz said, explaining that the EPA is following the Romans’ philosophy for subjugating conquered villages.
Soon after Armendariz touted the EPA’s “philosophy,” the EPA began smear campaigns against natural gas producers, Inhofe’s office noted in advance of today’s Senate speech:
“Not long after Administrator Armendariz made these comments in 2010, EPA targeted US natural gas producers in Pennsylvania, Texas and Wyoming.
“In all three of these cases, EPA initially made headline-grabbing statements either insinuating or proclaiming outright that the use of hydraulic fracturing by American energy producers was the cause of water contamination, but in each case their comments were premature at best – and despite their most valiant efforts, they have been unable to find any sound scientific evidence to make this link.”
I saw an old friend at Lowe's the other day; naturally we turned to politics. He said, "But Obama wouldn't do THAT, would he?" referring to some outrageous Obama executive order. I realized at the time and replied, "Who's to stop him? Who is there to stop this man from doing whatever he wants?"

"Pay attention, now! I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as cunning as serpents and as innocent as doves.And:
8Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry.
19Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.
20When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.

Another, BIGGER IRS scandal looms
In 2011, FIFTEEN IRS agents entered a [John Doe] California company with a warrant requesting the employment information of a former employee of the company.
Rather than simply request the warranted information on one individual, the agents acted bizarrely during the incident, seizing millions of medical records for which they had no warrant and against HIPPA laws.
The sixty million records of ten million Americans include extremely sensitive information, including psychological profiles, drug and alcohol dependency information, gynecological exams.
In short, anything and everything about ten million Americans, including possibly every California judge and court employee.
(The implications of such information being in the hands of the IRS regarding court employees are many. We might remind readers at this point that there was much speculation about Chief Justice John Roberts' adoption situation and some problem about their Latin American origins. Initially against Obamacare, Roberts eventually cast the deciding vote, twisting the law enough to be able to support it, leading to concern that Roberts had a personal reason for ruling the way he did.
Concern regarding the objectivity of our judicial system tracks back to the founding of the country. The Declaration of Independence warned that : "[King George III] has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.")
During the raid in 2011, the IRS agents seized cell phones and private information of other employees, threatened to rip the servers out if the employees did not comply and, when they had finished illegally confiscating these records (which were in digital format-- Obamacare, anyone?) the 15 decided--in an abuse of power--they needed to use the company quarters to watch a little b-ball, order pizza out and generally make swine of themselves, insulting and offending the company's employees and making sure the company understood the hierarchy. Government first. Citizens last and least.
In the meantime,the IRS "Peeping Toms" have refused to return the records, the company has filed a lawsuit against the IRS and the attorney for the company has revealed that at least one of the IRS agents has a history of abuse, lying and threats.
Why is this bigger than the harassment of Tea Party groups?
Because those cases seem to be only small part of a larger picture, and the seizure of medical records--with no record of chain of command--is foreshadowing for the nightmare to come of Obamacare.
Rather than simply demanding Americans perform like monkeys in filling out onerous reports, this incident involves the illegal seizure of private health documents. Who would know if a court officer was being blackmailed to rule a certain way?
The behavior also fits the behavior of the DOJ in seizing phone records of journalists.
What else don't we know?
The court case can be found here.

More here, here and here and here.
UPDATE: And there ya go. Even a Dem admits there's more to come.
Rather than simply request the warranted information on one individual, the agents acted bizarrely during the incident, seizing millions of medical records for which they had no warrant and against HIPPA laws.
The sixty million records of ten million Americans include extremely sensitive information, including psychological profiles, drug and alcohol dependency information, gynecological exams.
In short, anything and everything about ten million Americans, including possibly every California judge and court employee.
(The implications of such information being in the hands of the IRS regarding court employees are many. We might remind readers at this point that there was much speculation about Chief Justice John Roberts' adoption situation and some problem about their Latin American origins. Initially against Obamacare, Roberts eventually cast the deciding vote, twisting the law enough to be able to support it, leading to concern that Roberts had a personal reason for ruling the way he did.
Concern regarding the objectivity of our judicial system tracks back to the founding of the country. The Declaration of Independence warned that : "[King George III] has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.")
During the raid in 2011, the IRS agents seized cell phones and private information of other employees, threatened to rip the servers out if the employees did not comply and, when they had finished illegally confiscating these records (which were in digital format-- Obamacare, anyone?) the 15 decided--in an abuse of power--they needed to use the company quarters to watch a little b-ball, order pizza out and generally make swine of themselves, insulting and offending the company's employees and making sure the company understood the hierarchy. Government first. Citizens last and least.
In the meantime,the IRS "Peeping Toms" have refused to return the records, the company has filed a lawsuit against the IRS and the attorney for the company has revealed that at least one of the IRS agents has a history of abuse, lying and threats.

Obama: It's fixed so shut up!
Well, it looks like Obama's following Charlie Rangel's advice about getting out front on the IRS scandal. Naturally, he'll have a fall guy (who will somehow land on his/her feet in some Leftist think tank) to blame all the crap on.
His eyebrows will go up and down dramatically to show his emotion, unlike the no-drama Obama Neil Cavuto was complaining about on his show at 4:00 on FNC. Please.
Now everyone can rest at ease because Obama to the rescue! It's all fixed! Republicans should just STFU!
What the heck did he mean that the "laws must be clear" fair and impartial and that there isn't "ambiguity" around the laws?
What's ambiguous about "it's illegal to do this."

Waters: Obama has a database on everyone
From LiveLeak, we learn that Obama has an organization (OFA) that has a database on everyone. Maxine Waters specifies that Democrat candidates will have to deal with that, but the prospect of any president creating an extensive, snooping database on every American citizen is, well, frightening.
So where do Leftists go from here?
Very interesting read over at Politico, who say that the press corps is turning on the Beloved One. Is it true? Is it lasting? Hard to know at this point but here are some highlights.
idiots people like Biden and Kerry that he wants to be perceived as the king, surrounded by court jesters whose only purpose in life is to glorify the king.]
OTOH, this could also be a self-reflective moment (after their candidate is safely reelected) in which they realize the ultimate destruction Obama has inflicted on his wing of the party in the long run, or at least for 2014.
AND realize there's a concern that he won't be letting go once he's out of office, given that he's morphed his social action OFA into yet another arm of Obama worship/thuggery/bullying.
- On MSNBC, Leftist Jonathan Alter complains to Chris Matthews that the BO "infantilizes" the people around him, who have an "unhealthy love" for BO, something we've been complaining about for many years.
- Sycophant Dana Milbank at the WaPo: Obama, the Uninterested President
- Doug Schoen: Will buck ever stop with Obama?
- Politico (must read): DC turns on Obama
- NBC News compares Obama to Nixon
- Dems may not be so willing to back Obama
- Dem Elijah Cummings: "chilling" and "alarming"
- Robert Gibbs, former Obama spokesman: Obama sounds childish
- ACLU: Unacceptable

Obama's community is organized....against American citizens
So I'm carefully monitoring the developments in the latest scandals of the President of the United States, who has excelled in Chicago Thuggery since he was elected by the naifs/weak/moochers of this country.
It's interesting that this week, the 40th anniversary of Watergate (which seems so infantile in comparison, does it not?), the foul scandals have blossomed so significantly that even the press notices and is offended because, stupidly, they realize that the stench extends to even them.
At the risk of rehashing what the well-informed already know, the scandals just now are:
1. Benghazi has finally entered the MSM consciousness. Benghazi has been a thorn in the side of Tea Partiers for over 8 months. What is the offense? Men representing the United States of America were murdered by Libyan terrorists, contrary to the claims of the State Department and the POTUS at the time who blamed a stupid video.
Of the four men murdered, two courageous men voluntarily went to the aid of the first two, thinking the USA would provide the requested backup. The attack lasted 7 hours.
Such aid did not come, with the explanation being that the military didn't know what the cost of providing aid would be (as if the result of any battle is known beforehand) or that they were too far away (400 miles was too much for jets, apparently).
Rumors swirled into conspiracy; why was the American embassy under attack? Was it to kidnap Ambassador Stevens as a trade for the vile blind Sheikh? Or was it because our State Department was gun running in Libya?
One thing's for sure. Lots of lies have been told about what was really going on there.
2. The greatest uproar has been over the IRS scandal. Why are people surprised that Chicago Thugs would be adept at using the IRS to threaten the safety and security of Tea Partiers, who've been mocked and ridiculed since they collectively and telepathically decided they weren't going to take any more of the DC corruption of either party. It was like everyone just showed up at street corners for Tea Party rallies after the Rick Santelli rant. Duh.
Horrific tales have been floating around the web for years about IRS harassment of Tea Parties, nascent and unfunded groups who are committed to the welfare of this country.
Sunday I posted some of the open ended questions the IRS has demanded of citizens with links to a letter sent to the Ohio Liberty Township Tea Party; the Waco Tea Party also has been verbal in protesting the attacks of the IRS. The harassment was meant, of course, to ward off both donors and Tea Partiers from gathering together for the good of the country.
Business Insider:
In addition, some Romney donors were personally targeted and lied about as lawbreakers and shady characters.
ADDITIONALLY, information about conservative groups was illegally leaked to Leftist groups by the IRS. Leftist groups were hurried through for IRS approval, while conservative groups were harassed.
Huh.
This behavior is typical of this administration; one administrator defined the philosophy of, like the Romans, crucifying and making examples of a few so that the group will learn how to behave, which is pretty much the prevailing philosophy of the Obama administration.
3. The most recent scandal is the revelation that the Obama administration targeted the press, too, by sneaking into personal and business cell phone information. Tapping the personal cell phones of reporters to find out who leaked info about a DOJ target. Citing national defense, the administration claims they did nothing "inappropriate" or "insensitive," the fairly innocuous terms used to describe harassing Tea Partiers.
Naturally reporters are most outraged by the latter offense.
Everyone knows that Obama sets up reporters before a press conference. The questions are scripted; reporters refuse to ask difficult questions or even follow up with a line of thought.
Everyone knows the press has been sympathetic to Obama because of his race and his politics.
The chickens coming home to roost for Obama are a result of both neglectful and malicious leadership. When the leader of the country personally maligns and targets individual citizens---way back to the Cambridge cops--the pack that follows him will do the same to please him, only worse.
It is understood that these people are fair game; like any community organizer, Obama has organized his community to attack those with whom he disagrees.

Business Insider:
Toby Marie Walker, the president of the Waco Tea Party, said the group then received a 20-question form requesting additional information. This form was sent to many different conservative groups.
In the form was a request to provide copies of blog posts, articles, and other media distributed to members. That included copies of tweets, Facebook posts, and other social networking platforms.
"Last week, we were mentioned 389 times in news stories," Walker told Business Insider. "Now imagine gathering that for two years. I mean, it would've taken a U-Haul truck."
In a follow-up, Walker also said that the IRS asked for a roster of the group's board of directors and whether it could see any of those members ever pursuing higher office.
"How are you supposed to answer that question for the future?" Walker said. "They don't issue crystal balls when you sign up for the Waco Tea Party.You might be familiar with what's happening: it's the reason the Declaration of Independence was written. Something about "eating out our substance" and erecting "a multitude of new offices."
In addition, some Romney donors were personally targeted and lied about as lawbreakers and shady characters.

Want to see questions the IRS was demanding groups answer?
I wrote a post yesterday about the IRS harassment of Tea Party groups (and perhaps pro-Israel groups?) yesterday; having listened today to the various Leftist operatives making the rounds today making excuses for this behavior, claiming that the groups who dropped out when harassed probably "weren't legitimate anyway."
Imagine working a full time job--40 or more hours a week--and wanting to be part of creating a civic organization that you feel will help your country and then being hit with this kind of bullying just to form the organization.
Uh no. This makes me so angry I am simply reposting some of the questions the IRS demanded of these groups.
Here are SOME of them from the Liberty Township Tea Party group in Ohio. Complete questions can be found here.
Uh, no. This is deliberate harassment. These are BS questions meant to disturb and scare off people.

Media incest with Obama admin
Saw this yesterday on Fox News Watch. WOW everything makes sense now. The media's close CLOSE ties to the Obama administration explained here via Newsbusters:

Does THIS look like the IRS targeted the Tea Party? Uh YEAH.
And now we discover the real motivation for the IRS's recent confession and apology.
A more detailed report will be released some time in the next weeks revealing the results of a year long investigation of the IRS since Obama was elected.
A very bad report that is going to be worse than what we've heard in Friday's document dump.
Who were the targets?
Any liberal groups?
Uh. No.
Tea Parties. Groups with the name "patriot."
And those whose goal is teaching the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
Groups like Beck's 9/12 project.
And this has been known for at least 2 years.You know, since the middle of Obama's first term.
The Ohio Liberty Coalition--who sent out agonized emails at the time decrying IRS abuse and who eventually refused to comply--wants to know why other conservative groups were targeted, even though they did not have the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their names.
They also want to know:
In case you were thinking all the fuss the Tea Partiers are making over the IRS is a bit overdone because, what, the IRS was just checking to make sure the targeted groups were qualified, take a look at the demands the IRS presented to these groups. Ask yourself if ACORN was ever subjected to this sort of thing.
Look at some of the many open ended questions, all the "explains," and "provides" and "indicates." Taken directly from the IRS demands of, in this case, the Liberty Township Tea Party, demanded under the penalty of perjury dated March 1, 2011 and due 3 weeks later (I believe..it's difficult to see on the letter). Individuals were personally targeted.
Anyway here are some sample questions:
We can add this lie to the long list of other lies this administration has perpetrated on the American public.

2. Why did agents tell TEA Party Leaders that these applications were being held up on orders from their superiors...
3. Why did Al Franken and Chuckie Schumer release a letter demanding that certain (not specified as conservative but broadly indicated) 501c4's be investigated to be sure they were participating in social welfare issueslike the ACORN group?
4. ....why was the IRS asking for things like donor lists, membership lists, lists of attendees at non-political events, lists of speakers with full transcripts of what they said – none of which has anything to do with political activity or qualification for tax exempt status?
5. Pending the demands of the IRS, a number of groups closed. OLC wants to know "Where did the information go that was provided? If it was put into a database, who had access to that database? What was the purpose of these questions, which clearly had nothing to do with tax exempt status or even political activity?"The onerous demands of the IRS [link fixed...sorry. Wrong link.] to the Liberty Township Tea Party can be seen here.

We can add this lie to the long list of other lies this administration has perpetrated on the American public.
- The key words we targeted for new groups were "Tea Party" and "Patriot" but there was absolutely nothing political about it.
- It was an absolutely awful video which we had nothing to do with that inspired a mob (with rocket launchers) to invade the embassy.
- There's nothing political about this.
- [Somebody else] Bush? did it.
- We made only one minor change in the talking points.
- If you like your doctor, you can keep him.
- Government health care will be CHEAPER; it's all paid for! And it'll be better than what we have now.
- The attack was about a video, not terrorism.

Obama: Osama's dead (which is why I lied about Benghazi)
It's really nice to see the corrupt weasel Jay Carney get grilled today like any Republican press secretary did every day. In fact, he was grilled so hostilely that I feel I need to get some popcorn every time Fox shows it.
It's pretty obvious at this point that the Obama people omitted all al Qaeda references to keep the talking points for the Dem Convention that al Qaeda had been defeated.
"Osama's dead" we heard repeatedly, as if Obama had put on his special red, white and blue golfing suit and gone in to slit Osama's throat himself.
Something changed today. It's a bit tricky to hope that the momentum will keep up by the media who is so eager to kiss Obama's feet.
Remember this:
So what's the purpose of the coverup of the Benghazi attack? Undoubtedly it's multifaceted, but perpetuating the myth that al Qaeda's on the run so The One could get reelected was high on the list of priorities.
The fact that this guy--our POTUS--is completely absent in all of this is proof of what an empty suit--er, chair--this man presents to the country and the world.
Where is Obama? Where? He was nowhere the night the Benghazi attack went down and he's nowhere now because he never takes responsibility for anything he does.

You know, in a world of new threats and new challenges, you can choose leadership that has been tested and proven. Four years ago I promised to end the war in Iraq. We did. (Cheers, applause.) I promised to refocus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11, and we have. (Cheers, applause.) We've blunted the Taliban's momentum in Afghanistan and in 2014, our longest war will be over. (Cheers, applause.) A new tower rises above the New York skyline, al- Qaida is on the path to defeat and Osama bin Laden is dead. (Cheers, applause.)
So what's the purpose of the coverup of the Benghazi attack? Undoubtedly it's multifaceted, but perpetuating the myth that al Qaeda's on the run so The One could get reelected was high on the list of priorities.
The fact that this guy--our POTUS--is completely absent in all of this is proof of what an empty suit--er, chair--this man presents to the country and the world.
Where is Obama? Where? He was nowhere the night the Benghazi attack went down and he's nowhere now because he never takes responsibility for anything he does.
Drip...Drip...Drip
While much has been written on the Benghazi hearings of this past week and the usual pundits race to defend the former Secretary of State. I am struck by what is not being said by those on either side of the aisle.
I listened as Greg Hicks detailed the phone calls coming from Amb. Stevens, the rounding up of embassy staff at Tripoli and the work that was done to destroy sensitive communications devices and hard drives by a staff that must have been in fear for their lives.
I listened as Ranking Member Cummings rolled out the usual partisan talking points, attempting to deflect and defend an Administration that has been caught in a lie that may, as things are revealed, bring about the end of the political aspirations of Hillary Clinton.
I listened as Rep. Trey Gowdy revealed an email that showed the State Department knew the attack was coordinated by Ansar al Sharia, apparently independently of Hick's report to State as the attack began.
I listened as Greg Hicks detailed his telephone conversation with Secretary of State Clinton at 10pm Eastern time.
What I never heard though from anyone was: Where was the President?
According to published reports, the attack on Benghazi began around 9:40 pm (5:40 pm eastern). The President was briefed by Secretary of Defense Panetta for approximately 30 minutes between 5pm and 6pm eastern. So the attack was just underway when the President was briefed.
As Deputy Mission Chief Hicks stated, he notified the State Department and the White House of the attack shortly after his phone call with Amb. Stevens. So it appears Washington was fully aware of the situation. Obiously, the Secretary of State was aware since she contacted Hicks via phone later that evening.
But what of the President? Let me get this straight, the Commander in Chief is briefed that an American Embassy/Outpost/Consulate/Ambassador is under attack and yet he is NOT engaged?
Is this the same CIC that watched every move of Seal Team Six via drone and then walked out of the situation room and told the world Osama bin Laden is dead?
How can this be? You have an attack on US embassy personnel, the American Ambassador is missing and yet the President isn't on record for doing...anything?
When will either Issa, Chaffitz, or Gowdy start asking the hard questions about Benghazi that everyone knows, but are apparently afraid to ask. When will the media start actually doing their jobs instead of acting as this Administration's apologists.
Something is very wrong with this entire Benghazi affair.
It was stated the Secretary of State wanted to transform Benghazi into a functioning consulate and Amb. Stevens went there because he had to have the paperwork back to Washington by September 30th. But if this was the case, why was the Turkish Ambassador meeting with Stevens in Benghazi? Coincidence? I wonder.
It is understandable that having a terrorist attack on US personnel didn't fit the narrative of the President that al Qaeda was on the run. Certainly not so close to a Presidential election. But would a President disengage and concoct a story about a "video", that was sure to unravel?
There is more to this story than has been told to date.
The Benghazi story may be dripping out slowly now, but I think a flood may be on the horizon.

Oooookaay....Sanford wins
Did I see this coming?
No, I did not.
Mark Sanford, who sure looks loony tunes and a scandal bag, running against a movie star-ish relative in South Carolina....wins???
This is something that is sorta rocking the political establishment, since Leftists saw this seat as theirs and an entry into regaining the House in 2014, given the opposition and the name recognition of Colbert-Busch, who had a police record the media avoided mentioning and (I'm guessing) adopted two last names since her maiden name is well known in most circles.
Sorry about stopping that Leftist, Big Mo, y'all.
I guess South Carolina'd rather have a sorry ass ex governor Republican than a Leftist commie ready to toe the Obamacare line.
No, I did not.

USAF vet offers to bury bomber in Arlington
So we're hearing that a Julie Frein, USAF veteran of serving 2 (of 4 year enlistment) in 1976, wants to gift her plot at Arlington National Cemetery to the Boston bomber. Her husband is a deceased Navy veteran who served 20 years, which is why she thinks she can give away her plot to the bomber at Arlington. Apparently the bomber would be buried next to the veteran, if she has her way.
Frein apparently works at Beth Am Synagogue doing meaningful tasks such as editing the monthly bulletin.
She just wants all the killing to stop, she weeps, her watery eyes seeping real, true tears.
She wants the bomber's family to have "closure" and "has sympathy" for them.
The theory is that she can't do this because the VA has to approve burials. Let's hope Obama doesn't get his fingers in that one.
Arlington has responded by saying the bomber "will not be buried there."
Her face turns mean, mean, when asked what America will think of this bold act of weepy Julie's.
"They'll just have to get over it, " she says, pursing her lips. "Nobody," she weeps, "deserves to rot above ground."
Uh huh. Well, Americans disagree.
Unfortunately for Ms. Frein, here are the requirements to be buried at Arlington:
Bite me, Julie Frein.

Unfortunately for Ms. Frein, here are the requirements to be buried at Arlington:
d.Any former member of the Armed Forces whose last active duty (other than for training) military service terminated honorably and who has been awarded one of the following decorations:Arlington has responded by saying the bomber "will not be buried there."
1.Medal of Honor
2.Distinguished Service Cross (Air Force Cross or Navy Cross)
3.Distinguished Service Medal
4.Silver Star
5.Purple Heart
Bite me, Julie Frein.
Obama & HIllary: Leave the fallen comrades!
I'm a cynic, it's true, after all we've witnessed in the years of the Obama administration.
Who could have guessed we'd descend this quickly into the culture of death, an iron fisted culture that promotes business and taxpayer funding of the murder of innocent babies, a practice both morally and spiritually reprehensible?
This new Obama culture whines that others must take responsibility for actions that belong solely to an individual.
This culture forces churches to participate in practices that are abhorrent to them.
It encourages cheating.
In this culture one man--beloved by fools--holds sway over the minds of the soft-headed and young.
So when respected conservatives and practical thinkers like John Bolton and Mike Huckabee suggest that Obama will not serve out his term because of the Benghazi betrayal and murders, color me skeptical.
We don't know what will happen, of course, but Leftists have become such artists at deception and manipulation that one has to wonder if the many inept Republicans in office will be willing to do anything to actually confront the bastardly behavior exhibited by the State Department and this administration.
From FNC we hear the testimony of one who was there:
Instead the trusted Panetta, the man in charge, later claimed "there was not enough time" and the assault was not "prolonged" enough to do anything.
There was no "adequate warning," Panetta complained, (Really? Like what. A terrorist telegram saying the attack begins now? Because embassy personnel had been asking for more security for months. Still, are there ever "adequate warnings" in terrorist attacks??) to signal scrambling the jets that sit waiting for just such an incident as this, an incident that took place from 21:40 September 11 until 4:00 a.m. the next day.
Imagine this.
Imagine, Mr. Obama, Ms. Clinton, Mr. Panetta, hearing the cries of people you know--friends, even-- under terrorist attack (a fact that all acknowledged from the beginning of the attack) begging you to save their lives.
All you have to do is to order others to help.
Your safety is never in question.
Indeed, there is no threat to your health or even well-being, other than political considerations.
All you need to do is call others who are eager to do their jobs, which is to save lives.
But you say no to the soldiers who have heard the cries for help, who know their friends need them, to save them from torture and/or death.
Instead you call those soldiers who are already scrambling in Tripoli--400 miles away--as they are in their vehicles on the way to the C-130 and tell them not to go. They don't have the "right authority," you tell them.
In addition, you deliberately cut out of the information loop the counterterrorism unit assigned to deal with such situations.
Trouble has been anticipated for months (see complete timeline here) and the first shots are fired on September 11, 2012 at 21:40. The attack lasts until at least 4:00 of the next morning, the survivors not evacuated until 7:40 a.m.
You have seven hours to help, but instead you go to bed.
Disappear from the scene. And go to sleep.
I'm just wondering. How do you sleep at night?
Those friends of the fallen who wanted to do their jobs are agonized; they cannot keep this complete abdication of responsibility quiet and so information begins to seep out, long after the election.
So to tamp down the post-election post-murder impact, you send your people out again.
Oh, poo, says one. That was a long time ago.
What difference does it make anyway?
You say you are "not familiar" with the "NOTION" that people who know the truth are being threatened by your administration to keep quiet.
So then you begin the very dirty, very nasty work of discrediting those agonized few who are willing to put their lives and careers into a vice to expose the truth.
Why do the whistleblowers do this?
Because they want to remember that, in the days following the murders, they, at least, did the right thing to honor the lives of those they did not try to save.
Those friends who called in the middle of the night and begged for help, those friends who so long ago pleaded for reinforcements to not be left behind still haunt them, their dreams.
They, unlike you, hear the voices, hear the shots, see in their dreams the red laser point as one soldier creates a landing point for the helicopter that never came, only to become himself the target, his blood splattered across the tiles, just as the life of the man beside him (who is a soldier in heart and deed if not in fact) is snuffed, stolen. A life that could have been saved.
Murdered on a roof top, waiting for his "friends" to come, sure they'll be there.
Politicians, to be sure, are not soldiers.
They do not abide nor do they live by The Soldier's Creed to leave no man--dead or alive--behind.
I am an American Soldier.
I am a Warrior and a member of a team.
I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values.
I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.
I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.
I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.
I am an expert and I am a professional.
I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.
I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
I am an American Soldier.
And why would the American soldier swear to never leave a fallen comrade?
Why?
Because when they enter conflict, they want to know they are not alone.
They understand that loyalty is more important than any other character quality in a conflict that a soldier has voluntarily entered.
Apparently politicians are not bothered by such nuisances as loyalty.
You--the ones who could have saved those lives-- can sleep no matter what you have or haven't done.
Must be nice to be you.

From FNC we hear the testimony of one who was there:
"I believe if we had been able to scramble a fighter or aircraft or two over Benghazi as quickly as possible after the attack commenced, I believe there would not have been a mortar attack on the annex in the morning because I believe the Libyans would have split," he said. "They would have been scared to death that we would have gotten a laser on them and killed them."
Hicks suggested the Libyan government expected a request to use their airspace, and claimed the Libyans "were as surprised as we were" that U.S. military personnel did not arrive until later on.Huh. Even Libyan military personnel were surprised we did not help our own?
Instead the trusted Panetta, the man in charge, later claimed "there was not enough time" and the assault was not "prolonged" enough to do anything.
There was no "adequate warning," Panetta complained, (Really? Like what. A terrorist telegram saying the attack begins now? Because embassy personnel had been asking for more security for months.

Toledo abortion clinics face violations
Abortion is morally and spiritually repugnant to many Americans, including me.
For this reason (and others), I have resisted blogging about the trial of Gosnell, whose fate is now being decided by a jury.
The trial revealed horrific details, including baby body parts stored in jars, filth in the clinic, the brutal murders of hundreds of babies and the deaths of several women, not to mention a casual disregard for human beings in general, even the people who worked for him.
The formerly mainstream media neglected to cover the monstrous man and his dirty work, claiming alternately that the trial with its hundreds of victims was too "local," too "gruesome," racist, or whatever. A story of one woman's journey is here. More details of Gosnell's techiques are here.
Initiating taxpayer funded abortion has been at the core of Leftists' drive to "fundamentally change" Americans and their backward points of view.
The Daily Caller suggests that new undercover videos reveal that Gosnell is "not alone" in pushing the boundaries of decency (and worse) by not adhering to safety standards, not to mention the law. (Gosnell murdered full term babies by inserting scissors into the base of the skull.)
Even the WaPo has an article wondering how many more abortionists like this are out there.
Locally in Toledo, the Ohio Department of Health has discovered unpleasant and unsafe conditions in Toledo's Center for Choice which operated without a "transfer agreement" with an area hospital in the event a patient is in need of extensive care after a procedure. Media Trackers:
In light of the publicly funded UTMC's recent cancellation of their subsequent transfer agreement with Capital Care, protests have taken place complaining about sexism or the war on women.
Or something.
Gosnell in particular was using an "experimental technique involving razor blades":
Sorta like God, ya know.
Abortion is an ugly business; Gosnell's behavior was in the extreme, to be sure, but his callous disregard for humanity's most vulnerable citizens reveals its rotten core.

Locally in Toledo, the Ohio Department of Health has discovered unpleasant and unsafe conditions in Toledo's Center for Choice which operated without a "transfer agreement" with an area hospital in the event a patient is in need of extensive care after a procedure. Media Trackers:
According to ODH documents obtained by Media Trackers, a routine licensure inspection revealed that fungus was growing on equipment and surgical tools due to inadequate cleaning, unlabeled syringes full of drugs had been left in closets, and the clinic lacked policies for the disposal of hazardous waste or control of infectious agents.
In addition to 22 pages of health code violations, inspectors discovered that since July 16, 2010, The Center for Choice had been illegally operating without a transfer agreement for patient care in the event of an emergency.
ODH interviews with clinic staff revealed that the facility had been pursuing a transfer agreement with The University of Toledo (UT), a public university, but the UT president ultimately called off the talks – apparently in response to the public revelation of another area abortion clinic’s illegal contract with UT’s medical center.The Capital Care Network clinic in Toledo also illegally operated without a "transfer agreement" for 4 months in 2012 and is danger of a fine and/or revocation of licensure if requirements are not met.
In light of the publicly funded UTMC's recent cancellation of their subsequent transfer agreement with Capital Care, protests have taken place complaining about sexism or the war on women.
Or something.
Gosnell in particular was using an "experimental technique involving razor blades":
Operation Rescue Senior Policy Advisor Cheryl Sullenger told WND in an interview that Gosnell and his partner not only did the abortions before Roe v. Wade, they were using an experimental method.
“It was called the super coil, a plastic ball with razor blades on it. They would insert the coil into the woman’s uterus to induce an abortion,” Sullenger said. “I don’t think any of the women knew they were guinea pigs, that they were being used as an experiment.”
The blades were gel-coated and laid down. The device was designed so that when the woman’s body temperature melted the gel, the blades sprang up to cut the baby, thus inducing the abortion.As a senator in Illinois, even Factcheck.org admits Obama voted several times to deny born alive infants any right to survival. As Gosnell and Planned Parenthood, Obama believes that if any infant--including full term-- is born alive, the "mother" has the right to choose whether he or she lives or dies.
Sorta like God, ya know.
Abortion is an ugly business; Gosnell's behavior was in the extreme, to be sure, but his callous disregard for humanity's most vulnerable citizens reveals its rotten core.
