• Report: Obama Administration Apologizes for Another National Security Leak

  May 19, 2013 at 11:22pm

  What is it with all these low-level employees going Rambo on the Obama Administration? We’ve had low-level ATF personnel handing out assault rifles like candy to Mexican drug gangs, low-level ICE employees turning illegal aliens with criminal records loose on the streets, low-level military personnel telling rescue teams to stand down in Libya, low-level State Department employees making changes to the talking point on Benghazi, low-level lawyers in the Justice Department tapping AP phones, low-level IRS employees profiling and bullying conservative groups in a successful effort to suppress votes, and now “lower ranks at the Pentagon” leaking classified information to our enemies instead of keeping their eye out for known terrorists with backpacks stuffed with explosives. Is everyone at the top asleep? (Or are they just pretending to be asleep to avoid accountability?) Shouldn’t we be concerned that no one is steering the ship of state while the captain is off partying with his crew? Benghazi has shown us that even if janitors should spot an iceberg up ahead while mopping the poop deck, there is absolutely no one around to report it to. It’s not a failure of communication, it’s a failure of leadership.

• IRS Claims Release of Conservative Groups’ Confidential Info to Soros-Affiliated Media Outlet ‘Inadvertent and Unintentional’

  In reply to UNALIEN.

  Odd too, that they waited until after the election to tell us the truth. First get Obama elected, then distance yourself from his actions to try to preserve your reputation. Politics before truth.

• Mitt Romney’s Jokey Advice for 2016 Contenders: ‘Sell the Horse’

  May 18, 2013 at 3:24pm

  In reply to soybomb315_II.

  Ann Romney owned an expensive horse she used as part of her MS therapy. Democrats made it a big issue in the campaign to portray the Romneys as being “out of touch” with average Americans. Wealth didn’t seem to be a problem to them when John Kerry ran for president. The Kerry’s net worth is higher than the Romney’s, but it doesn’t matter when you’re a Democrat. Funny how that works.

  I agree, Tankyjo. If Republicans had not stayed home and had just shown up at the polls at the same rate they did for McCain, Obama would have been toast. According to Rush, Romney wasn’t “exciting” enough. Really? When did it get to the point where being highly successful and competent is a downside? It’s now an American Idol contest where contestants have to be mesmerizing, cult-like figures to get elected. It’s always been that way for Democrats, but now Republicans are demanding the same. The fact is, cutting spending is not exciting. Reducing the deficit is not exciting. Acting responsible is not exciting. When civic duty and wanting what is best for America is not enough to get Republicans out to vote, we are in deep trouble.

• See Paul Ryan’s Tense Exchange with IRS Head on Why He Withheld Targeting Info in July Despite Knowing About It

  In reply to allensmithee789.

  A flat tax changes nothing. We have to amend the Constitution to get rid of the income tax all together; otherwise, there is nothing to stop Democrats from “evolving” the system back to the way they are today. While I dislike sales taxes, the fair tax would allow us to get rid of the IRS or limit it to enforcing business compliance only. Think about it — no more tax returns, audits, keeping track of financial records, or applications for tax exempt status. There would be no need for those things and no need for businesses to bribe politicians for special tax breaks.

  The IRS is still claiming this wasn’t “political.” That defies reason. Why would he deliberately hide what was going on, when asked about it last July, if it wasn’t political? Last July just happened to be before the election, so he had to remain mum. But now he can talk about. If separating out conservative applications for extra scrutiny is not political, then separating out applications by race would not be racist. I wonder if the Republicans who work for the IRS (if there are any left) have to drink from a segregated water fountain.

• Obama Naming White House Official as Acting IRS Head

  Move someone from the White House to the IRS. Yeah, that will fix the problem!

• ‘Very Frightening’: Prominent Catholic Prof. Claims IRS Audited Her After Speaking Out Against Obama and Demanded to Know Who Was Paying Her

  May 15, 2013 at 1:41pm

  So now we know why Obama is using health care to vastly expand the scope and size of the IRS. He wants to turn it into an arm of the Democratic Party to maintain power by any and all means. We will never reduce the size of the government tapeworm until we get rid of the income tax and the auditing authority of the IRS that allows it to pry into our personal lives and blackmail us into political silence.

• Gosnell Is Spared the Death Penalty, Gets Life in Prison (Plus: Here’s the Deal He Made to Avoid Death Row)

  May 14, 2013 at 5:39pm

  In reply to Cavallo.

  I haven’t heard Obama speak out about this tragedy. He hasn’t stopped talking about the children murdered at Sandy Hook, but there were a lot more innocent children murdered in Gosnell’s clinic. Is he silent because he can’t use it to further his political agenda? I can’t think of any other reason, can you?

  In reply to blackfeather.

  There are some claims that Gosnell was born alive, but I contend that any movements he has made over the last 72 years were merely “posthumous twitching or spasms.” Is there any evidence that this lump of protoplasm is even a human being? I say judge him by his own standard and snip the spinal chord in his neck.
