My dad told me years ago that a snake can swim under water a long time just like a fish. But eventually it has to come up for air because it is not a fish. It is a snake.

DO NOT ASSUME YOU KNOW enough about the current IRS scandal, and don’t allow yourself to stop paying attention.

» Network Evening Shows Don’t Name Islam in London Terror Attack

What does a murderous jihadist terrorist have to do to get some recognition for his cause? You hack a British soldier to death in broad daylight on a London street while shouting “Allahu akbar” and then “swear by the almighty Allah” that you’ll never stop fighting, and the U.S. broadcast networks still can’t bring themselves to utter a word about Islam.

Whats Went Wrong
» British P.M. David Cameron demands that MI5 explain ‘what went wrong’ in attack

British Prime Minister David Cameron is demanding intelligence and security heads explain how two Islamist terror suspects could massacre a soldier in the streets when the two had been surveillance targets of MI5 for the past eight years.
Mr. Cameron wants to know “what went wrong” ….

What went wrong, he asks.

The ‘what’ that went wrong on a London street is the exact same ‘what’ that went wrong in Boston during the marathon, the same ‘what’ that went wrong at Ft Hood, the same ‘what’ that flew airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the same ‘what’ that is burning down Sweden right now.

It’s the same ‘what’ that asks each and every time what went wrong. It’s the ‘what’ that leans to the left so that it can peer around the bloody muslim in front of it to find another cause, some other culprit. It’s the ‘what’ that disarmed all those people that stood and watched in horror but did nothing to stop it. It’s the millions of ‘whats’ that were allowed to migrate, invade and occupy with no intentions of assimilation. It’s the ‘what’ that refuses to use the words that would actually answer the question.

It’s the ‘what’ that stood in front of the on-scene camera, clutching the murder weapons in it’s blood-coated hands, and stated exactly what the what is.

» Guns And Terror In Great Britain

So let’s run down the facts. Two men armed with knives and a gun hack another man to death, the police respond no sooner than twenty minutes after the attack, and laws in England virtually prohibit carrying of weapons or owning of weapons beyond firearms used for hunting (which cannot be carried on your person).

So to repeat. Man prohibited from owning a gun gets killed by criminals who were prohibited from owning a gun but who didn’t have any regard for the law since they were criminals. People who witnessed the crime could only shout at them since they didn’t have guns either.

Got it.

You only have to watch the first 8 seconds of this video to witness a United States Senator physically assault an American citizen … and then laugh about it.

» Impeachment of Obama and Biden? What If?

From Benghazigate to IRSgate 1 & 2 to APgate to Operation Fast and Furious to EPAgate. We can only hope and pray that all of these ‘gates’ (scandals) end up negating Obama’s presidency sooner than he had planned.
But what happens if Obama is impeached and removed from office?
….
When Richard Nixon resigned, Vice President Gerald Ford became the 38th President. If Obama is removed from office, Joe Biden would become our 45th President.
….
The thought of Biden as President is almost as scary as Obama. We would go from a sinister socialist to a laughable lunatic who has no concept of reality.

A more worrisome possibility would be a repeat of what happened during the Nixon administration that led to the 38th President who was never on a presidential/vice-presidential ballot …. no citizen ever voted for him, or against him, for president.

Given the number of self-proclaimed anti-freedom communists that Obama has appointed and installed into the upper tiers of America’s leadership, the prospect of him choosing a new vice-president and then himself being removed or resigning should be absolutely terrifying.

Miller told Lerner to plant a question. She did, then pretended she didn’t. When that story fell apart, Miller admitted that it had taken place, but danced around questions about who ordered it. When that jig was up, he raised his hand for blame. Both he and his predecessor publicly denied that any targeting was happening, then Miller withheld the truth after he was looped in, even after members of Congress followed-up with additional inquiries. Lerner did the same. But for some reason they expect us to trust them when they tell us there was no partisan motive here, even though they’ve conceded that no liberal or progressive groups were targeted inappropriately.

Much of the Fourth Estate shrugged when the Obama administration attacked Fox News, writes Kirsten Powers. But now it’s coming for them, too.
….
Where were the media when all this began happening? With a few exceptions, they were acting as quiet enablers.

It’s instructive to go back to the dawn of Hope and Change. It was 2009, and the new administration decided it was appropriate to use the prestige of the White House to viciously attack a news organization—Fox News—and the journalists who work there. Remember, President Obama had barely been in office and had enjoyed the most laudatory press of any new president in modern history. Yet even one outlet that allowed dissent or criticism of the president was one too many. This should have been a red flag to everyone, regardless of what they thought of Fox News. The math was simple: if the administration would abuse its power to try and intimidate one media outlet, what made anyone think they weren’t next?

Five years ago, the sight of Muslim terrorists beheading British soldiers was a horror that could happen in Afghanistan or Iraq. Now it has happened in broad daylight in the capital of the United Kingdom.

In a decade, 600,000 white Londoners have fled the city. Those are the sorts of numbers you would expect from the Syrian civil war. Their place has been taken by the million Muslims occupying the city.
….

» The Liberal-Islamist Alliance

What is so appealing about the Islamists and their ideology, that the left is willing to go to such horrifying lengths to champion their cause. The answer may lie in the liberal view of religion as a tool of social change. The theology behind this goes by many names in different denominations and religions, from Liberation Theology to Prophetic Justice to Tikkun Olam, the common denominator is that they hijack religion to serve as a vehicle for social justice.
….
Seen from that angle, it is not surprising why the Islamist agenda would appeal to liberals. It is after all also religion used as a tool of social change. Islamist groups are revolutionary, they want to overthrow the existing order in order to build a perfect society as defined by Sharia law. They operate social services centers for their followers and claim to be fighting for justice. But what liberals fail to understand is that while for them religion is a means, to the Islamists, religion is an end. Both liberals and Islamists equate religion with social justice. But for liberals, social justice is equivalent to religion, for Islamists religion is equivalent to social justice. While liberals talk about religion in order to bring about what they believe is a better society, Islamists talk about a better society in order to impose their religion on all Muslims and non-Muslims alike. If liberals were able to understand this, they might wake up long enough to realize the “deal with the devil” they had made.

It has no long term investment in the existing system which it intends to destroy.

President met with anti-Tea Party IRS union chief the day before agency targeted Tea Party.
“For me, it’s about collaboration.” — National Treasury Employees Union President Colleen Kelley on the relationship between the anti-Tea Party IRS union and the Obama White House

….
According to the White House Visitors Log … the president of the anti-Tea Party National Treasury Employees Union, Colleen Kelley, visited the White House at 12:30pm that Wednesday noon time of March 31st …. The very next day after her White House meeting with the President … IRS employees — the same employees who belong to the NTEU — set to work in earnest targeting the Tea Party and conservative groups around America.
…
On yet another occasion, Kelley’s presence at the White House was followed shortly afterwards by the President issuing Executive Order 13522. A presidential directive that gave the anti-Tea Party NTEU — the IRS union — a greater role in the day-to-day operation of the IRS than it had already — which was considerable.

Was the White House involved in the IRS’s targeting of conservatives? No investigation needed to answer that one. Of course it was.

President Obama and Co. are in full deniability mode, noting that the IRS is an “independent” agency and that they knew nothing about its abuse. The media and Congress are sleuthing for some hint that Mr. Obama picked up the phone and sicced the tax dogs on his enemies.

But that’s not how things work in post-Watergate Washington. Mr. Obama didn’t need to pick up the phone. All he needed to do was exactly what he did do, in full view, for three years: Publicly suggest that conservative political groups were engaged in nefarious deeds; publicly call out by name political opponents whom he’d like to see harassed; and publicly have his party pressure the IRS to take action.

» Is the IRS scandal the worst political scandal in American history? I say “yes.”

(The New York Times perfectly exemplifies this line of thinking.) Others on the Left admit incompetence, but refuse to assign moral blame. Conservatives are willing to assign moral blame but think that no one really cares.

I believe that everyone should care because what we’re seeing now is a new type of scandal in American history, and the biggest crime a sitting administration has ever committed against the American people. I wrote about it at Mr. Conservative, although the headline there focuses on the IRS’s probing into people’s prayers.

Putting both Clinton and Obama under oath will raise an interesting dilemma for both. Which ever party answers first could be contradicted on any of these matters. If Clinton answers under oath to protect herself, Obama could easily throw her under the bus. Conversely, if Obama replies to an interrogatory first, Clinton could contradict any of his answers.

Benghazi is ultimately a conflict between the Clinton Democrats and the Chicago Machine. A wedge can be driven between these two destructive forces with some well thought-out subpoenas. Exploiting that wedge could light the fuse on the time-bomb and detonate the Obama administration once and for all.

» TREASURY SEC: I KNEW ABOUT IRS SCANDAL LAST WEEK–AND ALSO LAST FALL

» A Degree of Malevolence

The most striking characteristic emerging from accounts of the IRS audits of the administration’s political enemies is the sheer, unbridled malevolence of them. It was, like a friend told me over dinner, as if we had suddenly awoken “in the middle of the third Obama term” to find everything that could never happen, all that was said to be impossible — indeed unthinkable — suddenly upon us. I ate another mouthful of pizza before realizing that, in fact, the events now being decried had happened in his first term.

… unsurprisingly, nobody can remember nothing about nothing. Eric Holder could not for the life of him recall who might have authorized such a wide-ranging investigation into the Associated Press. The seizure of an entire news agency’s phone records seemed like a dime someone had mislaid; a trivial something that happened “a long time ago,” like Benghazi, and ‘can you remind me,, Congressman, what that was about again?’

Inadvertent? Unintentional?
I doan thinks those words means whats youse thinks they means.
» IRS CLAIMS RELEASE OF CONSERVATIVE GROUPS’ CONFIDENTIAL INFO TO SOROS-AFFILIATED MEDIA OUTLET ‘INADVERTENT AND UNINTENTIONAL’

» IRS Demanded Info about Pro-Life Group’s Prayers

An IRS office in California ordered Christian Voices for Life of Fort Bend County, Texas to explain the content of prayers “as if they were engaging in highly offensive or criminal behavior,” …. Agents also ordered Coalition for Life of Iowa to provide detailed information about the group’s prayer meetings

…. The agents also told one of the pro-life groups that they could not picket or protest abortion clinics.
“The IRS was concerned about advocacy … The (agent) said picketing and protesting is not allowed.”

Is there any part of the 1st Amendment that is understood by this administration and the agencies thereof?

Bearing in mind that info required by IRS is supposedly for determination of eligibility for IRS blessings; the IRS, as a the tax-collecting arm of the federal government, has been saying that those blessings are only for those who pray to God in a manner approved by the federal government. If you say the wrong words to God, in the wrong context, then you forfeit the blessings of the federal government.
I have a pocket full of cash that says “Allah Akbar” is not on the IRS’s list of banned prayer words.

» Scarborough on IRS scandal: This makes it harder to trust the government on gun background checks, doesn’t it?

He should know in his bones, without needing sporadic reminders, that abuses like the IRS’s are possible. Just last month, Missouri’s state government got caught leaking a list of concealed-carry permit holders to the feds. At least one Democrat in Congress freely admits that she’d support a national registry. Twice in the past six months, major publications have posted the names of local gun owners as an intimidation tactic. There’s every reason to worry about federal employees abusing personal information related to gun ownership given the ferocity of liberal opposition to gun rights. Why did Scarborough need the IRS to crap the bed to remind him of it?

Now that we have a new media that actually works, that actually does what media is supposed to do, that doesn’t excuse or tolerate tyranny; the old antique wants to cough and sputter to life?

No. Thanks but no thanks, liberal media. You are so worthless, you’re not even good for spare parts.

» Cook’s fallacy “97% consensus” study is a marketing ploy some journalists will fall for

Welcome to the last dregs of the Great Scare Campaign, where the end game strategy is merely to repeat what worked for them before, which is the abjectly false and profoundly unscientific decree that we must believe the Gods Of Science.

The sad thing is that some environment and “science” reporters are so poorly trained they fall for what is essentially marketing that poses as science.

If only The Convinced had evidence for their favorite pet theory? Then activists like Cook would be able to debate in public, speak politely, and explain their case instead of resorting to cheap smears, dodgy research, and misleading statements.

Thousands of papers support man-made climate change, but not one found the evidence that matters …
Cook’s study shows 66% of papers didn’t endorse man-made global warming ….
Most of these consensus papers assume the theory is correct but never checked. They are irrelevant ….
Money paid to believers is 3500 times larger than that paid to skeptics (from all sources) ….
Some of these abstracts are 20 years old — does two decades of new evidence change anything?

Messiness is another word for chaos. And no one likes chaos. Chaos means that in the richest country in the world some people will be illiterate, others will be homeless and some will accidentally set themselves on fire because the fireworks don’t come with enough safety warnings.

Those aren’t good things. They’re not things that governments and the squeaky wheels who make governments what they are think should be tolerated. They’re messy.

The liberal argument is largely an argument for a society consolidated around government in service to progressive ideals. It’s a tidy world in which governments and non-profits consume an always increasing share of everything else until there isn’t anything else because it’s been consolidated. The end result of that process however isn’t progressive. It’s tribal.

» Benghazi: The anatomy of a scandal; how the story of a U.S. tragedy unfolded — and then fell apart

Today, the public knows that those early administration pronouncements were false. They were uttered with less than two months to go in a presidential election campaign in which Mr. Obama declared al Qaeda on its heels.

The Left does not understand why Benghazi is a big deal. Four Americans were sacrificed to ensure (THHO)Obama’s reelection. Then – to ensure (THHO)Obama’s reelection – their sacrifice was dismissed as collateral damage to a perception, by America’s enemies, of America’s “callous treatment of their noble religion”. Then the dismissal of their sacrifice was covered up, multiple lies were issued – to ensure (THHO)Obama’s reelection.

» Obama’s Emptiest Benghazi Talking Point

Perhaps with their newfound skepticism toward the lying liars of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the former lapdogs of the White House press corps will start asking questions like this: Where the hell is Sufyan Ben Qumu a.k.a. Abu Sufian bin Qumu?

….
Closing Gitmo, you should note, just happens to be the top policy goal of the left-wing Center for Constitutional Rights. CCR is the U.S. group of jihadi-sympathizing lawyers who helped spring none other than Benghazi terror plotter Abu Sufian bin Qumu from Gitmo.

Social justice for Qumu and the Gitmo Goon Squad. No justice for the Benghazi Four. When it comes to Obama’s vow to hold the killers accountable, there is no there there.

» NYT: OBAMA ADMINISTRATION KNEW OF IRS SCANDAL 5 MONTHS BEFORE ELECTION

In no uncertain terms and with no hedging, The New York Times reports that the Obama administration was aware of the fact that the IRS was targeting Tea Party groups as far back as June of 2012.
….
The first time President Obama was asked when he found out about the IRS scandal, he told the media that he learned of the news last Friday, the same way the rest of us did — from the news media.
….
With this latest news confirming when the Administration first learned of the IRS scandal, we now know that, along with Benghazi and the unfurling Associated Press scandal, there were three scandals brewing and unfolding in the White House during an election year. But we are only now hearing about them — six months after Barack Obama was safely re-elected.
This fact says as much about the failure of our lapdog national media as it does about President Obama.

Vaguely Bordering?

“I’ve had some of the pro-gun lobbyists on here, saying to me, ‘Well, the reason we need to be armed is because of tyranny from our own government,’ and I’ve always laughed at them …. But, actually, this is vaguely tyrannical behavior by the American government. …. what the IRS did is bordering on tyrannical behavior … ”
~~ Quoth the Simpleton Idiot

Piers Morgan may be the poster child of Leftist Naivety. So shocked and surprised to realize that the RightWingNuts he has so enthusiastically mocked and ridiculed were actually dead-on-the-nail-head correct. But his use of the words ‘bordering’ and ‘vague’ indicate that he still does not possess a copy of the big picture. It shows that he fails to realize that the tyranny revealed in these new scandals is merely the top layer of snow on the tip of the iceberg.
Well, Peirs, glue your pansy ass to the chair and pay attention – because yer getting ticked off at the previews, the real show hasn’t even started yet.

» Flashback: Schumer, Franken urged IRS to target tea party in 2012

Schumer and Franken did, and still do, exactly what I expect them to do as leftists.
The media, on the other hand, enjoys constitutional protection of their free press rights. They have abused those rights for decades, but especially so in the last four years in which they mocked and libeled the Tea Parties.
Now that the predictions and protestations of the Tea Parties have been vindicated, the media is all righteously indignant?

MSNBC, you intolerable sniveling Obama-Butt-Munchers, how can you ask “Why did you mislead us for an entire year?” when you were the conduit for (THHO)Obama’s misleading lies?

Back in 2008, (THHO)Obama asked the media: “If you woke up in a tent, in the woods, your butt covered with vaseline, would you tell anybody?”
Media : No.
(THHO)Obama : Wanna go camping?

So how many years will it take the mainstream media to report on this:

~~ Hope n’ Change Cartoons : Once Upon a Crime

when you push aside the legal ins-and-outs of the scandals surrounding the AP, the IRS, the YouTube Video, and “Who changed the Talking Points?” a lot of people have actually died: four Americans in Benghazi (and many more gravely injured), and probably hundreds of men, women, and children in Mexico – and our own enforcement officials – owing to guns given to killers by Obama/Holder’s “Fast & Furious” scheme.

Responsibility for these lost lives needs to be determined and justice must be done. Not with firings, apologies, or leaves-of-absence. But with public shame, legal action, and the harshest penalties our courts can mete out.

That is, he deliberately endangered American citizens to advance his socialist agenda. Add it to the list of impeachable offenses.

The mainstream media continues to publish those claims without counterbalancing them with the truth. That does two things. It emboldens those perpetrating those false claims against the US – and — it is accepted as truth by our woefully undereducated citizenry.

Over three years ago we attempted to bring truth to the discussion by explaining that the US did, in fact, purchase that land. It is a matter of historical fact.

The documents … directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department.

» The IRS Scandal and Obamacare, Part II: Your “Shared Responsibility Payment for Not Maintaining Minimum Essential Coverage”

The IRS has a long and ignominious history of targeting political opponents. Its latest actions make it clear that it has been serving as a political retribution wing of the permanent Obama campaign or “Organizing For America”.

In the midst of this madness, Obamacare is set to magnify the power of the IRS by a factor of 10 or more.
….
President Obama topped off this debacle by refusing to appoint a Special Prosecutor.

Eighteen strikes and you’re out. As Mark Levin suggests, the IRS must be disbanded and replaced with The Fair Tax. It’s time to unleash the economy and constrain the federal government’s weed-like urge to grow. The Fair Tax accomplishes both ends.

» This Is No Ordinary Scandal

We are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate. The reputation of the Obama White House has, among conservatives, gone from sketchy to sinister, and, among liberals, from unsatisfying to dangerous. No one likes what they’re seeing. The Justice Department assault on the Associated Press and the ugly politicization of the Internal Revenue Service have left the administration’s credibility deeply, probably irretrievably damaged. They don’t look jerky now, they look dirty. The patina of high-mindedness the president enjoyed is gone.

Something big has shifted. The standing of the administration has changed.
