“You can’t change the world in your living room.” Many local businesses in Ferguson were vandalized, looted, and even set on fire as demonstrators took to the streets to protest the shooting. Sadly, innocent business owners have been left to foot the bills. This is where the St. Louis Tea Party realized they could help. The group spread the word of the “BUYcott” event on Facebook, hoping to get at

Fox News’ Greta eats Democrat Mike Dickinson’s lunch [Darleen Click]
… and drinks his milkshake, too. It was really an unfair fight, Greta was having too much fun there with the Larry Flynt lackey. And, the unctuous Dickinson has been so busy trolling Conservatives, he forgot to file his papers to run for the Democratic nomination. Classic.

IRS now to make its targeting of TEA Parties legal [Darleen Click]
Obama and Democrats used the IRS to suppress TEA Party activity in 2012, now they want to codify it for 2014 and beyond. In the media blackout of Thanksgiving week, the Treasury Department dumped a new proposal to govern the political activity of 501(c)(4) groups. The administration claims this rule is needed to clarify confusing tax laws. Hardly. The rule is the IRS’s new targeting program—only this time systematic, more

“Core assumptions of “win elections, then repeal” require the suspension of disbelief.” [Darleen Click]
Andrew McCarthy speaks Truth to [GOP Establishment] Power … It is repeatedly said that the crusade to defund Obamacare was delusional, that it never had a chance. That is an overstatement. Hail Mary passes are tried because they occasionally work. A lot of things have to go right, and the success rate is low. But a Hail Mary is a ray of hope when the clock nears zero, when something

Miss David Brooks does not like the crease in Ted Cruz’s pants [Darleen Click]
Sniff What’s going on in the House, and a bit in the Senate, too, is what you might call the rise of Ted Cruz-ism. And Ted Cruz, the senator from Canada through Texas, is basically not a legislator in the normal sense, doesn’t have an idea that he’s going to Congress to create coalitions, make alliances, and he is going to pass a lot of legislation. He’s going in more

About that ‘phony’ IRS scandal [Darleen Click]
Oh look, a handy-dandy chart compiled by that bastion of right-wing-nut-jobs, NPR House Republicans investigating IRS targeting of groups for extra scrutiny say they have proof conservatives had it worse. A House Ways and Means Committee staff analysis of the applications of 111 conservative and progressive groups applying for tax exempt status found conservative applicants faced “more questions, more denials, more delays,” says committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich. That is,

“I was essentially a front person …” [Darleen Click]
The circle tightens around the White House Top IRS officials in Washington, D.C. planned and oversaw the agency’s improper targeting of conservative groups, according to the 72-year old retiring IRS lawyer who will testify Thursday before the House Oversight Committee. Retiring IRS lawyer Carter C. Hull implicated the IRS Chief Counsel’s office, headed by Obama appointee William J. Wilkins, and Lois Lerner, the embattled head of the IRS’ exempt organizations

IRS agent indicates Washington DC, not “rogue agents”, directed TEA Party targeting … [Darleen Click]
WOW, like, we didn’t see this coming! Interviews with IRS employees have established that the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the Internal Revenue Service was engaged in targeting tea party groups and other conservative organizations for unfair levels of scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. […] One of those interviewees said it was ‘impossible’ for a few IRS agents to have orchestrated such widespread partisan targeting on their own. ‘Did

IRS scandal? Just two 88 rogue agents … [Darleen Click]
Nothing to see … Washington (CNN) – The Internal Revenue Service has told House GOP investigators they have identified 88 IRS employees who may have documents relevant to the congressional investigation into targeting of conservative groups, according to a congressional source familiar with the investigation. The IRS asked these employees to preserve all the “responsive documents” on their computers, and it has been in the process of collecting it all

“Conservatives became targets in 2008” [Darleen Click]
In the continuing “faux scandal” of IRS targeting TEA Party, 9/12, Pro-Life and Pro-Israel groups in order to seal Obama’s 2012 re-election, let’s remember that Obama’s tactic of harassing opponents and their supporters has a long history. Let’s take a romp down memory lane and review the typical Obama campaign strategy. Obama became a U.S. senator only by virtue of David Axelrod’s former employer, the Chicago Tribune, ripping open the
