“BREAKING: Emails Show Lois Lerner Fed True the Vote Tax Information to Democrat Elijah Cummings”
But don’t worry: Obama says the partisan, leftist political nature of such behavior by IRS officials and staffers is a “phony” claim. And he has a pen and a phone. So. Settled science! (h/t Di)
“Lerner emails show desire to work for Obama organization”
Well, the irony is, she already was. Just not officially. On the plus side, I guess when a slut desires to become a whore, there’s a kind of capitalistic progress to that. So, like, yes we can!
“IRS: 90% of Taxpayers Seek Help in Preparing Their Returns”
I’m sure this is just the kind of self-sufficiency and freedom from governmental intrusion the founders and framers were after. Dear USA: You’ve come a long way, baby! Unfortunately, you got the direction all wrong. Best you start doubling back, post haste. Or you’re going to be forever lost.
“Activists blow cover on gun confiscation bill”
Vermont: A bill that passed the Vermont House without controversy is now in doubt after gun-rights advocates exposed provisions allowing police to take guns during domestic disputes. “It’s a highly illegal confiscation bill,” Gun Owners of Vermont president Ed Cutler told Vermont Watchdog. “H.735 is a forfeiture bill that tells police if a person gets a temporary restraining order, they have to come into the house and take all weapons
“BREAKING: House Ways and Means Committee Votes to Refer Lois Lerner For Criminal Charges”
Big deal. We don’t merely need a scalp. What we need is to take a hacksaw to the entire fucking IRS until there’s nothing left of it to salvage except maybe a couple of staplers and a few boxes of paperclips. Don’t get me wrong: I want this woman punished for using her position to torment a particular political demographic; but the problem is far more systemic than it is
“It May Not Be Ready but EPA Chief Defends Carbon Capture Technology Anyway”
Sorry. Got caught up in a Twitterstorm arguing with pro-ObamaCare hiveminders. Let’s begin, shall we? How many times are we going to regulate that horse go before the cart? Answer: as long as we can get away with it: West Virginia MetroNews reports that at a Senate committee hearing, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, was forced to defend the viability of the carbon capture and sequestration technology, the key component of
“Submission” [Darleen Click]
The totalitarian Left has embraced Islamism, let no one dissent Brandeis University in Massachusetts announced Tuesday that it had withdrawn the planned awarding of an honorary degree to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a staunch critic of Islam and its treatment of women, after protests from students and faculty. The university said in a statement posted online that the decision had been made after a discussion between Ali and university President Frederick
“Senator Inhofe to force vote on job killing regulations being implemented by EPA”
I wrote about this a few days back, but you can listen to Inhofe himself describe what he’s planning to do — and the legal justifications for doing so — by listening to his interview last evening with Mark Levin. For those of you who can’t listen, Newsmax offers a comprehensive overview.
This is not capitalism. Nor is it liberty.
In fact, it’s the beginnings of an attempt to bring communism (which as I’ve noted before always leaves itself a ruling class intact, so it “stalls” at the liberal fascist stage) to the American mainstream. And it is absolutely, 100%, morally corrupt — a move by way of political interference to turn into a legitimate “civil right” confiscating “the means of production” from those who own them over to those who
