THE PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL TRAIN WRECK

One thing about all these IRS scandal testimony and the reporting of it in the media that has really pissed me the hell off was the use of the word "Social Welfare".
Quote: To receive the tax exemption, groups were supposed to be "operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare."
Now the damned liberals are using this argument or one similar to justify the targeting of freedom oriented tea party groups.
Now the question I have to ask is this: Isn't freedom a VITAL COMPONENT OF THE WELFARE (Classical sense of Welfare) and as well as a vital component of the Social Order?
So any organization that promotes freedom, liberty, and teaching of the constitution is actually doing the work of fostering "Social Welfare", which is an non-material item which is more precious than all the riches in the entire world.
I guess the liberal definition of "Social Welfare" only covers material goods, and they accuse us of materialism...

Yeah, I think ya nailed it.
Many charities today aren’t much better. They mostly only want cash. That’s it, and much of that cash gets spent on staff or whatever and not on the intended need.
Social Welfare my arse.. more like enforcing Social Conformity
The Dems are engaging in the old trick they routinely apply when they have no legitimate explanation for their behavior. Namely, creating a strawman, then attacking it.
The issue isn’t the standard for non-profit status, the issue is favoritism in its application. They routinely sign off on lefty “social welfare” groups, like the one that’s collecting federal money to sign up new Obamacare members and register them as Democrats at the same time.

You can’t reason with unreasonable, especially if they haven’t had enough hardships to forge any character within themselves. You cant argue with idiots lest you become one too. Trust me those two realizations were earned but now I’ve learned the best way to deal with them is to let them fight among themselves and watch them destroy one another. It’s just what they are. Makes life a lot easier.
