Last night, Larry Kudlow interviewed a Tea Party guy in Texas who was put through the wringer for 26 months. His name is Rodriguez, a Latino, a *protected class*. So now the IRS criminal activities have been elevated to a hate crime.
They’ll have a TEA Party for REAL this time. And it will make Boston look like a fairy tale. Every IRS office should have pickets.
Have Tar, need feathers.
It’s already out that all liberal sounding applications sailed through without scrutiny.
They need to be more fearful of the People.
Who knows? But I did hear of a Tea Party organizer that got tired of his application being slow-walked...so he changed the name to “Green” something or other...and it sailed through in weeks.
The reports today are downright chilling as the regime did not seem happy with only stalling/rejecting right leaning organizations but the heads of a couple of Tea Party organizations were paid “visits” by the FBI and DHS.
This was life in East Germany and the Soviet Union.
Does anyone honestly think this can be resolved via the election process?
IMO the progressives are too dug in, in too many departments to allow new elected officials to change their ways.
Ma&Pa Kettle would have been refused too, I reckun.
What a sad commentary on those who hate this country all while they seek to dismantle and destroy whoever and whatever they deem worthy of their nefarious efforts.
The only hope we have for ending this peacefully is through our state governments.
Italian communist theoretician Antonio Gramsci in particular considered [civil society groups] an obstacle even worse than overthrowing the state... Gramsci advocated establishing something he called "civil hegemony" as a means of subverting independent civil society groups and then merging them with the state as means of making the state supreme.The 1960s radicals called this "the long march through the institutions."
They knew that without true civil society organizations to promote self-government, such as the Tea Party, all that's left is an all-powerful state that citizens must face alone.
The Ruling Oligarchy will tolerate no challengers.
That needs to be sharpened:
The ruling treacherous tyrants will tolerate no challengers
Faint hearts have nearly lost America
Somewhere here on FR is a thread containing a report of an applicant whose group's title was Media Trackers (I think). It was stalled for around 18 months. Every time he checked on it, he was told it was "still under review".
He changed the group's title to Greenhouse something-or-other to make it look like an enviro-weenie group, and got approval in 3 weeks.
I imagine a group called Muslim Islamic Extremist and African-American Democracy Tea Party could get approved pretty quickly.
Even with the catch phrase in there.
That would show they are being fair to Tea Party groups.

It’s not like this is the first time our civility has been assaulted.
It was about hunting Injuns. And bank robbers. And Mehicano Terroristas.
