You remember Lois Lerner, she of the incredible IRS Tea Party targeting scandal that roiled Congress and the nation in 2013 and exposed how Democratic activists in the federal bureaucracy were overtly using their positions against those they perceived as their political enemies.
But this time, the Lois Lerner character in the erupting scandal is being played by Stephen A. Martin, Director of the federal tax agency’s Exempt Organizations, Rulings and Agreements, in Cincinnati. That’s the same office Lerner tried to make the scapegoat for the arcane political manipulation perpetrated by her and other higher-ups in Washington, D.C.
When Christians Engaged of Texas applied for tax exemption, they explained that their purpose is to encourage Christians to pray for state and national leaders in a non-partisan way, to get out and vote in every election as good citizens should, and to study the Bible to understand its values and how they relate to public policy.

Here’s how Martin responded in a letter denying the group’s application and I promise you I am not making this up:
“You do not qualify as an organization described in IRS Section 501(c)(3). You engage in prohibited political campaign intervention … You are also not operated exclusively for one or more exempt purposes within the meaning of Section 50l (c)(3), because you operate for a substantial non-exempt private purpose and for the private interests of the D party …
“… you educate believers on national issues that are central to their belief in the Bible as the inerrant Word of God. Specifically, you educate Christians on what the Bible says in areas where they can be instrumental including the areas of sanctity of life,

Why wouldn’t they do it again? There is no accountability.
Meanwhile OFA, Obama For America, reorganized as “Organizing for America” and is the epicenter of funding the riots last year. They are a tax exempt organization because you know, they are non-partisan.

BTW, Lois Lerner is still laughing at us while enjoying her $102,600 annual retirement benefit paid for by us.
I remember when a caller asked Rush if he thought that Obama had told her what to do. Rush said no, these people, all already know to do. They're everywhere in the government.
—exactly—and the same applies to Demo election cheating—there doesn’t have to be orders from on high to do it, it just comes naturally—
It’s precisely the concept of leaderless resistance. They do not need orders. It’s like ISIS or Al Qeida. The FBI always says they were not terrorists because they didn’t get a message on the shortwave from a cave in Tora Bora.
All of the communists, (DNC) know exactly the direction intended and act within the powers the possess wherever they happen to be.
We always thought that Americans were too well-off to want Soviet socialism.
The Democrats have bought into the old communist party system.
Not because they want to help the poor or pick turnips.
They want the control the old Soviet communist leaders had.
It’s not about voting and picking the best person for a government job.
It’s about having the power to steal from the government treasuries and punish anyone who dares oppose the Democrat Crime Syndicate.
All of those that believe anything will happen raise your hand.
I’m waiting...
Lois Lerner needs a public stoning, then hung out for the buzzards. Along with the rest of those in the IRS.
I also recall that, these people get promoting for doing things for the cause with no ties to their leader.
There is noone o. The right who will even bring this to the attention of everyone, .et alone sue to stop the unconstitutional antireligious act by the gov.
Our ENTIRE GOVERNMENT IS TOTALLY CORRUPT!!!
Lerner is back and Fauci still has his job although they threaten to fire him. Government is merely an organization that acts against the people it is supposed to serve.
And we vote for their members? Why?
Lois Lerner poses in the most arrogant way that she can.
That woman is the cover girl for “BITCH MAGAZINE!”
Abolish the IRS, pass the “FAIR TAX!”
An Invisible Hand of evil.
Trey Gowdys fault. He and Issa let this scum off the hook while making loud noises about it. If they had at least made criminal referrals, maybe some of these little Hitlers would have second thoughts.
