Nancy Pelosi: ‘I’m sick and tired’ of ‘useless’ Republicans blocking Obama’s ultra-liberal agenda
In a campaign fundraising email posted Tuesday at Weasel Zippers, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she’s “sick and tired” of “useless” House Republicans blocking Barack Obama’s progressive agenda, and claims the only way to fix the “problem” is to elect more liberal Democrats.

Letter from non-Birmingham Red China jail proves Snowden no MLK
Defining civil disobedience down
Getting tired of lesbians, bisexuals, gays, transgendereds, pro-abortion choicers, Sandra Fluke anti-conceptionists, and now Espionage Act-violating leakers of national security secrets attempting to usurp the noble civil rights legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.? This content-of-character dreamer is.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), one of our tea partier conservative Republican heroes, disappointed us this week when he conflated the domestic spying revelations of Edward Snowden, former NSA contractor currently now living in Hong Kong under the “protection” of the Communist Chinese government, with a southern Baptist preacher who willingly sacrificed his personal liberty to oppose unjust laws denying blacks equal rights under the United States Constitution.

Ignorant Federal officials seek to restrict religious speech and ‘hate speech’ in violation of First Amendment
To be hired by the Obama Justice Department, you have to satisfy various ideological litmus tests. But apparently you don’t need to understand or appreciate the First Amendment. Knowledge of the First Amendment seems to be regarded as a bug rather than a feature for Justice Department lawyers.
One example is the administration’s baseless prosecutions of peaceful, law-abiding anti-abortion protesters, which has resulted in judges imposing sanctions against the Justice Department for frivolous prosecutions.
Only privacy rights Obama respects prevent births, not unreasonable searches
If President Obama is only continuing domestic spying programs initiated under Presidents Clinton (Echelon) and Bush (Patriot Act), then why were Major Hasan (Fort Hood) and the Tsarnaev brothers (Boston Marathon) left to their known Islamist pro-death terror devices, while the substance of the prayers of conservative tea party pro-life patriot Republicans were searched before they could help prevent his re-election or avoid tax audits?
Holder, Rice, Ingram and Obama’s contempt for America
It is more likely that Vice President Joe Biden will resign and that President Obama would nominate Eric Holder to replace him than that the latter will resign as Attorney General and return to private practice to resume pro bono work for captured and/or arrested terrorists.
The White House announced today that Designated Benghazi Liar Susan Rice will replace Tom Donilon as President Barack Obama’s National Security Adviser. Sarah Hall Ingram is heading up implementation of the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare
Dem. Rep. Jim McDermott: Conservative groups deserved IRS abuse, harassment

Wife of former IRS chief worked for Obama campaign, supported Occupy DC
On Sunday, Kerry Picket reported at Breitbart.com that Susan Anderson, wife of former IRS Commissioner Douglas Schulman, worked on Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign, citing tweets she sent out last year. Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit also observed that she supported Occupy DC and bashed the Tea Party.
“Additionally,” Pickett added, “Anderson reportedly works for the Washington D.C. based liberal organization Public Campaign,” citing an article at the Daily Caller.
IRS employee: Washington, D.C. gave orders to target Tea Party
On Sunday’s edition of CNN’s “State of The Union,” Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., revealed new testimony from IRS employees that indicate they were directed to target Tea Party groups from higher-ups in their Washington, D.C. headquarters, Fox News reported.
“As late as last week,” Issa said, “the [Obama] administration was still trying to say the [IRS targeting scandal] was from a few rogue agents in Cincinnati, when in fact the indication is that they were directly being ordered from Washington.”
