Even an IRS of Billy Grahams would be tyrannical

irs-levyIt is no surprise that the government agency responsible for taxing the rich and funding the liberal management of our lives for the collective would be a bastion of the most partisan members of the Democratic Party, willing to wield the hammer that is government power for the various factions of the gangster-like mob it has become.

Current tax law, or what passes for “law,” requires tyranny in its enforcement. The Internal Revenue Service has always been uniquely above the law with its unique right to preemptive seizure of a target’s property and a reverse burden of proof that requires accused taxpayers  to prove their innocence.

Dem Senators’ Hail Mary pass in re Benghazi scandal

Barbara BoxerNow that the mainstream media are writing articles with the words scandals (plural), cover-up, lies, and president in their titles, Democrats in Congress are suddenly desperate to change the narrative on Benghazi from “nothing to see here” to something else — anything else — that will deflect criticism away from the Obama administration.

Obama as Nixon? Remember Bill Clinton’s IRS Filegate

lbjWoodwards and Bernsteins only go after Republicans; the Democratic Party has no Howard Bakers nor Joe Liebermans profiling courage; and the road to Hell paved by LBJ, Slick Willie and Barack Obama’s bad intentions would drown even a Watergate.

It wasn’t “just about sex” nor “Nixon’s War.”

In the wake of the documented cover up of Benghazi security lapses and admissions of politically targeted IRS inquiries by the Obama Administration, would it be too much to ask that the moral lapses of Democrats Lyndon, Bill, Hillary, and Barack finally be placed in an accurate historical context?

Liberal blogger charged with faking her own hate crime

Meg Lanker-SimonsIf you can’t beat ‘em, frame ‘em. That in a nutshell would appear to be the motivation behind Think Progress award-winning blogger Meg Lanker-Simons’s false claim that she was the victim of a hate crime. On Wednesday, she was charged by University of Wyoming Police with faking the her own threat.

Trib.com reports that Lanker-Simons was charged with interfering in a police investigation, which is a misdemeanor.

New York Times: Obama Administration promoted huge fraud on taxpayers in Pigford case

obama-shh-300x225The New York Times yesterday described how the Obama Administration, despite opposition from career civil servants, radically expanded a legal settlement that had already become a “magnet for fraud,” paying out vast sums of money over baseless claims of discrimination at the Agriculture Department in the Pigford case.

John Kerry praises Yankee fans for singing Red Sox anthem, flubs song name

Kerry Catching FootballIt’s a minor point, to be sure, but John Kerry should give up on sports references. His boss, too. It is clear that neither one follows professional sports, which is no crime. But both repeatedly make efforts at ingratiating themselves with constituents (in Kerry’s case former constituents) by exhibiting their sports knowledge — and both end up making total fools of themselves.

CT school teaches that Americans don’t have constitutional right to bear arms

Worksheet on Second AmendmentHow far will the nation’s schools go in the expressed interest of shielding our children from another Newtown? How’s rewriting the Constitution sound? It doesn’t sound all that great to Steven Boibeaux, of Bristol, Conn., whose son attends Northeast Middle School.

Fox News’s Todd Starnes reports that on Monday, the eighth-grader received a worksheet from his social studies teacher titled “The Second Amendment Today.”

Welfare reform dies, as Social Security Disability program explodes

Social Security DisabilityWelfare reform is largely dead. Many people who used to be on welfare have since gone onto Social Security Disability. That benefits states by shifting their welfare costs to the federal government. Moreover, people who were never on welfare in the past are now going onto Social Security Disability in droves, which makes the Obama administration happy, since it helps mask persistently high unemployment by reclassifying unemployed people as “disabled” instead.

Despite sequester Obama designates 5 new national monuments

Barnum and Obama“There is a sucker born every minute.” That quote is attributed to showman P.T. Barnum. Another putative Barnum quote is “The show must go on.”

Both quotes seem apt in the light of the sequester, which the president blames falsely on Republicans. But even as he announces that everyone will need to make sacrifices to offset the $85 billion in budget cuts, he continues to spend like … well — like Barack Obama.
