Newly released information shows a very close relationship between President Obama and his man at the IRS, who delayed the Tea party applications. William Wilkins is a long time donor to the democratic party and once fought a case against the IRS in which he defended Jerimiah Wright and the Trinity Church in 2008.
Wilkins was a registered lobbyist for Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr since 1988, and was also a member of the Tax Practice Group, where he counseled nonprofits on compliance. As a lobbyist, he spread money around to both republicans and democrats, but Wilkins worked for the democrats from 1981 to 1988 as democratic counsel for the Senate Finance Committee.

I am in complete agreement with that statement. Actually, this is so deeply entrenched in who and what they are that what we see as overt is actually the tip of the iceberg. That what we are seeing is their ‘cleaned up’ version for public consumption is scary.
Obama’s world view is the typical sophomoric drivel that gets spoon fed to the susceptible by pathetic leftist university faculty every day. He never matured beyond that, and it feeds his narcissistic need to believe that he is one of the brightest and most educated people in the world, and that he knows what's best for the world.
Unlike most people who, when confronted with activist ideological university professors just thought of them as ‘the weird uncle in the basement’ who they had to appease long enough to pass their class, people like Obama actually believed and integrated that crap into their core being.
Narcissists who have the need to feel like the future of the world depends personally and specifically on them are particularly vulnerable to this. Obama fits that description to a T.
No. He’s black, and therefore immune form any type of repercussions.
Larry Sinclair explode in his face - hopefully this IRS scandal will damage his political career...
Hell no. The only thing that explodes in Obamas face is Reggie Love

Is it time to reconsider the militarization of American policing?
By
RADLEY BALKO
On Jan. 4 of last year, a local narcotics strike force conducted a raid on the Ogden, Utah, home of Matthew David Stewart at 8:40 p.m. The 12 officers were acting on a tip from Mr. Stewart’s former girlfriend, who said that he was growing marijuana in his basement. Mr. Stewart awoke, naked, to the sound of a battering ram taking down his door. Thinking that he was being invaded by criminals, as he later claimed, he grabbed his 9-millimeter Beretta pistol.

The police say that they knocked and identified themselves, though Mr. Stewart and his neighbors said they heard no such announcement. Mr. Stewart fired 31 rounds, the police more than 250. Six of the officers were wounded, and Officer Jared Francom was killed. Mr. Stewart himself was shot twice before he was arrested. He was charged with several crimes, including the murder of Officer Francom.
The police found 16 small marijuana plants in Mr. Stewart’s basement. There was no evidence that Mr. Stewart, a U.S. military veteran with no prior criminal record, was selling marijuana. Mr. Stewart’s father said that his son suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and may have smoked the marijuana to self-medicate.

No. I have zero confidence in the House or Senate to do their jobs.
It’ll be a lot of kabuki theater and nothing else.
Doug Hagmann says he traced the original media threats back to George Soros, David Axelrod, and Rahm Emanuel. I’d bet money that Valerie Jarrett, if given truth serum, could tell us a lot, as could the known criminal, attorney Bob Bauer.
For some reason, nobody is willing to go there. Could be the dead bodies that are piling up...
I would have more sympathy for Mr. Stewart if he wasn’t growing marijuana in his basement.
Yeah... Maybe Issa needs to have JUST ONE MORE hearing where blatant malfeasance, treason, and blatant criminality are on display...
THEN The House GOP will get off it’s ass.
If they haven’t by now, it’s because GOP leadership has been compromised. Nothing will change until leadership is changed.
Only two ways to do that. Voting or assassination.
By my best guess, Tea Party has one more election before the gloves come off completely.
He’s exposed. Problem is, half the Country doesn’t care.
Whose gloves?
Everyones?
I agree that the Rs are utterly useless, and the very few that may have courage and principles cannot fight against the vast majority that are either eunuchs or on board with tyranny.
But I am not hopeless because battles and wars have been fought and won with worse odds; but what is needed is courage, principles and a fighting spirit. Defeatism is a killer. Even when people get a bad illness, if they are hopeless about it they are more likely to die.
Examples include Tony Rezko and Blago...

We have nobody willing to do that.
Given that those charged with upholding the law and prosecuting law breaking are complicit in the criminality, better not hold our breath.
Mark
Everyone who has been drawing lines in the sand over and over again.
Time to stop.
My gear is packed. Ready when y’all are.
Or are we going to wait for just one more voting/fraud season?
Have you read much about what’s happening in Egypt? They spent a few months getting 22 million signatures demanding that Morsi step down. Then they had massive protests, I think the largest one day was 30 million plus people, many of course in Cairo but other places as well. The mil backed them up, and Morsi is gone. Of course the trouble isn’t over, I hope you have read or do read the ongoing Live Egypt thread. Now the head Mozlem Brotherhood guys have been arrested (couple hundred last I looked), Morsi is imprisoned and charged or will be charged with various crimes, and the Egyptian gov is going after MB and assorted jihadis/terrorists in the Sinai.
Either we do something like that, up to and including national strike (nobody does anything) and the mil will have to get on board, which it would have to do anyway. I think the mil is very divided, and that will have to be sorted out. Withtout the at least tacit support of the mil and as many County Sheriffs and LEO as possible, it will be much more difficult. But local people can and indeed should organize for whatever may potentially happen.
Location, location, location - and a County Sheriff who understands the Constitution and has vowed to uphold it is helpful. People living in huge cities - I wouldn’t want to be them.
Individual lone wolves can’t do anything.
My thoughts so far.
We’ve been trying to “fix” things since Carter.
We’ve sent hundreds of thousands of petitions. Sent millions of letters and billions of emails.
And things keep getting worse, not better.
We’re not Egypt. We’re not France or Britain either.
Did I mention petitions or emails?
Saying “we’re not Egypt” does not address what they have been doing in Egypt.
Also the gov in Czechoslovakia (sp?) was brought down via mass national strikes that went on for IIRC weeks.
Imagine 40 million people refusing to work and massing in a few places like dee cee and a few others.
Maybe more than 40 million; if Egypt which has 98 million could muster protests of 20 and 30 million, we should be able to top that.
Their cynicism is routinely confused in their minds with their perceived importance of their most recently emoted "snark."
These people are essentially losers and it is a trait that characterizes their thought patterns and basic reasoning.
In a word, they aren't happy unless they are miserable. Psychologically it probably has a classification in some text somewhere as a tendency to live-out their self-defeat.
I'd suspect a good lot of them drink too much and then choose to post to FR.
They don't think they're winning unless they are losing. Conversely unless they are losing in their minds they aren't winning. If they are content or happy there must be something wrong.
They are internally conflicted. I suspect a good many of them are dissemblers.
I call such people "felicitomiserablists"
FReegards!
“Felicitomiserablists” - has a nice ring. Sort of like existentialists?
I think some might be leftists trying to instill and sow defeatism, too.
