Funny, I did not see the words “.... was fired” anywhere in this article.
Seems like this might be a felony....
Nixon only implied a desire to use the IRS, and the media went nuts.
The rats want to instill fear into anybody who may be on conservative membership or contributor lists.
As long as Holder is at Justice there will be none (justice, that is).
“IRS APOLOGIZES FOR TARGETING CONSERVATIVE GROUPS” is a headline for low-info voters; the editors know that they won’t read it. A headline that MIGHT get LIVs’ attention would read, “HEADS ROLL AT IRS,” but that’s not going to happen. Nothing to see here - move along...
Of course not...they've all been promoted.
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice ? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? - Washington's Farewell Address 1796
