IRS Commissioner’s big middle-finger to American public [Darleen Click]
I have many issues with Paul Ryan, however my focus in posting this clip is actually with IRS Commissioner John Koskinen … Koskinen smirking attitude is so full of fuck you, like you can do anything at all to me. Context is everything It is one thing to say “Never apologize, never explain” as an adjunct or symptom of cultural self-confidence, quite another in an atmosphere of duplicity, evasion, or

Re: Iraq and The Left’s politics of Shut-uppery [Darleen Click]
Your victory lap is grotesque So, it’s become a trend for lefty pundits to express their disgust when supporters of Operation Iraqi Freedom offer their opinions about the reasons for the present crisis in Iraq. Here’s Jonathan Chait summarizing the theme: What do liberals believe about the current disaster in Iraq? One thing most of us believe is that the United States should stay the hell out.

“White House Learned of Lerner’s Crashed Hard Drive 6 Weeks Before Congress”
Funny that Obama couldn’t use either his pen or his phone to pass along the info, isn’t it? CNSNews: In sworn testimony Friday, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen admitted that the IRS told the Obama administration about Lois Lerner’s missing emails in April, six weeks before telling Congress, even though Congress had subpoenaed Lerner’s emails as part of its investigation into the alleged muzzling of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status before

I ask because I’m not a Constitutional attorney, though I’m fairly certain I’d be

Bret Favre encourages Mississipi voters to stand with Thad Cochran; liberty will fight back
He does so in a 30-second commercial, paid for by the Chamber of Commerce — which, along with the GOP establishment, seems intent on trying to defeat the Republican base and thwart the will of the Republican voters in Mississippi. Quid pro quo? Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle: NFL legend Brett Favre has endorsed the re-election of Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), cutting a television ad for the six-term incumbent days ahead of

Hayek and you
Having quoted at some length Hayek’s condemnation of the pretend proponents of free enterprise whose pragmatic policies, were they to be generally adopted would just as assuredly lead to socialism as those of the avowedly socialist, Mark Levin concluded his show last evening thus: This to me, ladies and gentlemen […] defines the modern day Republican Party. They are just as guilty of promoting big government socialism as the left.

Scratch a progressive engaged in “identity politics”
….find a fascist bleeding beneath. The Left has always been adept at projection. It’s clear that, between this, Harry Reid’s attempts to demonize private citizens and use the government to bully PC speech enforcement, and the attempts by the IRS, under Dem insistence, to criminalize conservative political speech, these people are exactly who many of we “Visigoths” and “Hobbits” have been warning they were. Just because you don’t sport epaulettes
