A federal appeals court judge dubbed the IRS not trustworthy during oral argument Thursday as he and his colleagues tried to figure out whether tea party targeting is still going on.

“Like every government agency in the Obama administration the IRS is completely dishonest.”

So, we are in the middle of a socialist coup. Who knew?

I'm thinking, why in the hell do we still have an IRS and why Lois Lerner and that smug pompous head of the IRS are not behind bars for obstructing, perjury and official oppression of citizens.

There is no “Rule of Law”.

Dishonest Period ... That is Standard Operating Mode, not just with the Tea Party ... they Pick and Choose Targets for a variety of reasons ... some for Press, some for $, some for Cover, some for Personal Reasons and some at the direction of Political Parties.

I don’t understand the surprise over this. Everybody knows the Commissars need to have their enforcers.

I've concluded it's more of a Muslim coup, with left-wing tactics, including race-baiting and class organizing, being more of a means than an end. The end is to create a combined religious and racially favored governing class.

Duh. Watch and learn. USG will be _confessing_ all kinds of behavior, with absolutely nothing being done about it. Let’s face it USG has been off the USConstitutional rails for a long, long time. Now the blatant operations have just evolved into per institutional and per officer doing whatever they want to do.

Because the Uniparty likes it that way.

Hence, the Kabuki Show hearings by the RepubUniparty jesters.

Is it time yet to surround their buildings and dare them to come out?

All it takes is a spark to create a forest fire. They are damn sure pushing it.

This has been going on for nearly six years now. The wheels of justice churn slowly indeed, if they churn at all.

Is there no judiciary body that can smack down the IRS and afford the citizens protection?
