"Furthermore, if we believe that conservatives are being blacklisted in their chosen professions, whose attention can we bring this too. "

It's known among my (few) fellow conservatives that the local school board does not approve hiring of any obvious Republicans for teaching positions.

Oh Oh this can’t be true....But now we have to connect the dot’s back to the White House. I wonder if this person BOB BAUER— White House General Counsel that was written about in yesterday’s WSJ by Has anything to do with the IRS Scandal.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/05/24/Strassel-IRS-Scandal-Roots-in-Obama-s-2008-Campaign

Bob Bauer, the Obama campaign (and later White House) general counsel, wrote letters to the Department of Justice in August 2008 attacking a conservative 501(c)4 called the American Issues Project for running an ad that highlighted Obama’s connection to former Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Bauer did not stop there; he also contacted the Federal Election Commission. That same month, a left-wing activist created a 501(c)4 called Accountable America that was designed to intimidate GOP donors.

What, fortunately, some Democrats realize is that this corrupt government machinery can be turned on them. History shows in Soviet Russia that the first people Stalin went after when he consolidated power were the “old Bolsheviks”. He had a specailly built apartment building next to Red Square for the party elite to live in - the walls were thick enough for Soviet Cheka agents to stand between them and secretly listen to the room conversations all day. More than 90 percent of the party residents of the building were taken out by the secret police and never heard of again. What is going on in Washington is APPALLING - and it will be the test of the Republican Party to see just WHAT they are going to do about it. INstead of criticizing other Republicans, aging politicians like McCain need to set their staff loose on these agencies, seek emails (the type of multi-agency harassment Peggy Noonan writes of had to be coordinated and they were undoubtedly stupid enough to document it, prob. with emails and possibly through the minions of the federal employee unions.

“... around 1986 I came to the conclusion the dem. party was nothing more than the political wing of organized crime.”

Go back a couple decades with JFK’s dad buying the election for him utilizing the unions/mafia.

I’m waiting, if it hasn’t already happened, for members of the press to start wondering if things they have said over drinks to other members of the press about Dear Leader is being reported back to Dear Leader.

Which one of their so called friends can they trust and which ones can’t they trust and will report them to Dear Leader.

I believe fertile ground for investigation by the House staff would be the federal public employee unions; remember how Bin Laden communicated with his network, by couriers on two legs so that there could be no electronic interception?? What about employee union leaders going to the White House, meeting with someone like Valerie Jarrett and then giving marching orders to their trusted members in these various agencies to go after Tea Party members and groups? I’m not saying this happened, but it seems worthy of investigation.

I was in the 3rd grade when JFK got popped and my old man was a big JFK supporter.

Still have an unused ticket to a fund raising dinner JFK didn’t make it to.

About 1986 is when I realized the dems were organized crime and had been since at least FDR.

The problem is a lot of these people may not have known what they were actually doing.

It’s a cover up using normal govt inefficiency as the cover.

They should take each and every case separately and call everyone in that had anything to do with it and start working out a pattern to who is involved.

Soon the same people will be called before the committee time after time after time.

Then you got them.

“I don’t know.” “I don’t remember.” “I’m not familiar with that detail.” “It’s not my precise area.” “I’m not familiar with that letter.” HEY IF THEIR NAME APPEARS ON THE ORGANIZATION CHART AS THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY, THEN THEY SHOUDL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE RESULTS. We all know the OK came from Obama... directly or indirectly. We all know Schumer and Clown Frankin ent letters twice to the IRS requesting conservative audits... Charge them and try them.. Accountability is totally lacking under obama nd holder .... they do not follow the constitution or enforce the law. Obama is hot air and politics 100% of the time. he needs to pay the price.
