Obama Administration leaked IRS Data to Supporters The division of the Internal Revenue Service that improperly scrutinized the tax-exempt status of conservative groups sent confidential information on 31 conservative groups to the well-funded liberal nonprofit journalism organization ProPublica, according to a revelation made by ProPublica Monday. “The same IRS office that deliberately targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status in the run-up to the 2012 election released nine pending confidential applications of conservative groups to ProPublica late last year,” according to the ProPublica report. “In response to a request for the applications for 67 different nonprofits last November, the Cincinnati office of the IRS sent ProPublica applications or [...]
DOJ spies on AP Journalists
Maybe this will wake them up to Obama's Tyrannical Government. Department of Justice spies on Associated Press Journalists The U.S. Department of Justice notified The Associated Press on Friday, May 10, that it had secretly obtained telephone records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP journalists and offices, including cell and home phone lines. AP is asking the DOJ for an immediate explanation of the extraordinary action and for the records to be returned to AP and all copies destroyed. AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt protested the massive intrusion into AP’s newsgathering activities in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, May 13. In the letter Pruitt states: “There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of [...]
Don’t fear the Govt! IRS targeted groups that criticized government
Obama: Reject The Voices That Warn of Big Government and Tyranny, IRS targets groups that criticize Obama's Government At various points over the past two years, Internal Revenue Service officials targeted nonprofit groups that criticized the government and sought to educate Americans about the U.S. Constitution, according to documents in an audit conducted by the agency’s inspector general. The documents, obtained by The Washington Post from a congressional aide with knowledge of the findings, show that on June 29, 2011, IRS staffers held a briefing with senior agency official Lois G. Lerner in which they described giving special attention to instances where “statements in the case file criticize how the country is being run.” Lerner, who oversees tax-exempt groups [...]
IRS knew Tea Party targeted in 2011, Lied to Congress
Don't lie to the IRS but they can lie to you! Seems the IRS told Congress that is never targeted conservative groups.

Fearmongering and the 400ppm CO2 level
Relax CO2 has been much higher in Earths History By Albert N. Milliron The headlines are comparative to Y2K and other end of the world predictions. If the right-wing were pushing an issue with such data, the left would be pointing out that in earths history, carbon dioxide has surpassed 1000ppm. I guess those awful right-wingers drove SUVs some 2-4 million years ago. Those damned oil companies! What 400ppm of CO2 looks like(Media Credit: wattsupwiththat.com) What we are seeing here is alarmist natural resource haters, who wish to blame big-oil and their supporters for a natural fluctuation in the earths chemical make-up. This is agenda driven and plain junk science. But since I am not a climatologist, I have provided a few such characters that will outline a bit [...]
New York Times Advocates IRS Persecution of Conservatives
Former IRS agent Joe Bannister who admitted that his agency was breaking the law and had no actual authority but operates under intimidation and threats. By Doc Vega It’s bad enough that we are presently uncovering revelations that our government would knowingly allow Americans to die in Libya when military assets were abundant. It’s bad enough when we are now aware of the media obstruction of the truth as they intentionally distort the facts uncovered by the testimony of whistle blowers and try to ignore the overwhelming flood of evidence that proves a federal government concealment of negligence, intentional narrative revisions, and the lies released to the US public! Yet, as we now find out that the IRS has been used to punish conservative non-profit organizations, we have [...]
Damage Control? White House holds off-the-record Benghazi briefing
In place of the on-the-record briefing that was rescheduled for 1:45 p.m. today, the White House held an off-the-record briefing on Benghazi. The on-the-record briefing has been pushed back a second time to 3:15 p.m. The most open and transparent presidency in history just shut out the American people and offsite reporters (like Politisite) who receive their daily briefing via Video from the White House. The White House held an off-the-record briefing with reporters on Friday afternoon to discuss recent revelations about the Benghazi investigation, sources familiar with the meeting tell POLITICO. The meeting began around 12:45 p.m. and postponed the daily, on-the-record White House press briefing to 1:45 p.m. White House press secretary Jay Carney did not respond to a request [...]
Have a Conservative Sounding Name? Obama’s IRS Targeted you
But of course it was just a few "low level employees". Lets be clear, even low level employees at the Internal Revenue Service can make life hell for the taxpayer. This is a civil rights violation at least, an Obama conspiracy to attack on conservative political activities at most . Remember, Obama says you need not fear the government. The Internal Revenue Service issued an apology today for targeting conservative groups for review. Organizations that had the name “patriot” or “tea party” were flagged by some low-level workers in Cinncinati. Conservative groups often complained about constantly having to answer questions from the IRS and claimed harassment. Of course, no one in the media took it very seriously, but now it appears they were right. It might not be all [...]
Cruz Control: Obama’s Texas Road Trip
Obama sets out to paint Ted Cruz as face of the Opposition When things look dark and the Deltas face tough times in the movie “Animal House,” fraternity leader Otter knows exactly what to do: “Road trip!” So it is that President Obama, facing gridlock and partisan infighting in Washington, travels to Texas on Thursday on a road trip dubbed “The Middle Class Jobs & Opportunity Tour.” Texas might seem an odd place for Obama to talk jobs and the economy, given Gov. Rick Perry’s habit of claiming that he and Republicans are responsible for the state’s economic success. But as I wrote today, Perry is less a target than an afterthought. And the GOP prescription for boosting the economy – low taxes, less regulation, getting government out of the way — isn’t what [...]
