Allow me to point out the merely obvious.
The IRS is corrupt.
It’s not breaking news but, late last week, we got irrefutable proof of it.
The IRS, as early as 2011, was TARGETING CONSERVATIVE groups. Any group with “Tea Party” or “Patriot” in its name was a TARGET for audits and worse by the IRS.
Not only that, but this WASN’T just some low-level pencil pusher who would now be up for a desk shuffling promotion. Oh no…There were those VERY high up in the 501c# office AT the IRS who were FULLY AWARE of what was happening and did NOTHING to stop it.
Naturally, those in IRS ivory towers DENIED early accusations and, now, we know they were lying.
That, also, is not breaking news.
Under this administration, which become more and more glaringly illegal by the day if not by the minute, the IRS was acting in a PARTISAN manner and LYING about their knowledge OF it.
Shocking…NOT.
Here’s where we get to what nobody else is talking about.
Guess which govern-mentallly unstable organization is or will be in charge of making sure that OBAMACARE is TAXED to the fullest extent?
That’s right boys and girls…
THE I-R-S!!!!!
Here’s the question EVERYONE should be asking today…
HOW CAN THE IRS BE TRUSTED TO IMPLEMENT THE LARGEST SINGLE TAX HIKE IN AMERICAN HISTORY IN A FAIR MANNER TO BUSINESSES…MANY OF WHICH HAVE “TEA PARTY” OR “PATRIOT” IN THEIR NON-PROFIT NAME?????
The answer is simple…
THEY CAN’T BE TRUSTED AS FAR AS ONE CAN THROW AN AUDITOR!!!!!!
What we’re talking about here is a TAX bill…ILLEGALLY produced in the SENATE instead of LEGALLY originating in the HOUSE that is some 2000+ pages long and which NOW contains some 17,000+ regulations (and counting) and there is not one single person, NOT ONE…at ANY level of government or in the private sector who understands it.
And what of those…TENS OF THOUSANDS OF…”NAVIGATORS” that are to be hired by the feds to “assist” businesses and individuals THROUGH the maze with no end?
Go ahead and take a wild shot at who, exactly, will be “training” the UNION and COMMUNITY ACTIVIST “navigators???”
Yep…
THE CORRUPT AND LYING SACKS OF CRAP AT THE…I-R-S!!!!!
How convenient.
Oh…But, last Friday…The IRS APOLOGIZED.
They claimed it was all low-level grunts that were abusing the system for political reasons during an election year.
Not so fast…
Now we know that Lois Lerner…THE HEAD IF THE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION DIVISION OF THE IRS KNEW ALL ABOUT IT…
BACK ON JUNE 29TH, 2011!!!!
Then…on Aug. 4, 2011, the IRS’ Rulings and Agreements office “held a meeting with chief counsel so that everyone would have the latest information on the issue.”
What came of THAT meeting was a change to the criteria by which groups would be targeted for further and often times, abusive scrutiny.
Instead of groups with “Patriot,” “Tea Party” or “9-12 Project” in their names…It became…”political action type organizations involved in limiting/expanding Government, educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, social economic reform/movement.”
Well…That was MUCH better because it EXPANDED the political targeting of conservative groups. Groups that included 1st or 2nd Amendment in their titles and yes groups which had in their mission statements…”Making America a Better Place to Live.”
OH THE HORROR…Trying to make America a better place…THE SCOUNDRELS!!!
In Friday’s IRS apology we find THIS unbelievable statement: “The timeline supports what the IRS acknowledged on Friday that mistakes were made. There were not partisan reasons behind this.”
Well, THAT’S nice to know. The direct targeting of CONSERVATIVE and ONLY CONSERVATIVE groups was…NOT PARTISAN?????
When confronted about the revelations on Friday, Beltway Jay Carney responded that the administration expected the inspector general to conduct a thorough investigation.
Oh, happy, happy, joy, joy…The INSPECTOR GENERAL…
In case you are unaware…The INSPECTOR GENERAL is attached to the CORRUPT “FAST AND FURIOUS” DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE UNDER…THE CORRUPT AND CONTEMPTUOUS ERIC HOLDER!!!
Full investigation my ASS.
Why…”NO” we will be told…NOBODY in a high IRS gilded office knew a THING about this BUT…we assure you, they will tell us, that some minion’s heads will roll (to another position within the IRS) and THAT will be JUSTICE!!!
Fast and Furious was a “low level” problem.
Benghazi was a “low level” problem and now…This IRS corruption is a “low level” problem too???
According to those in charge…NOBODY in charge has had a thing to do with ANY of these…”problems.”
Far be it for the fox to find fault with other foxes.
And then…There’s the TIMING of Friday’s “apology.”
Interesting, isn’t it? It came directly on the heels of the WHISTLE BLOWERS testimony on Benghazi.
Benghazi? Nothing to see in Benghazi but…LOOK…A DIFFERENT SHINY OBJECT…LOOK AT THE NEW SHINY OBJECT!!!!!
According to Susan Collins, the Senator from Maine, “This is truly outrageous and it contributes to the profound distrust that the American people have in government.”
She is absolutely correct and, in contrast, take heed of Obama’s graduation utterance last week when HE said: “Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can’t be trusted.”
Allow me to be succinct…
WHEN THE TAX COLLECTORS ARE TARGETING GROUPS FOR CLEARLY POLITICAL REASONS…THAT…IS…TYRANNY!!!!!!
Here’s what one should take note of here.
This was NOT, as the IRS would like you to believe, confined to the Cincinnati office as we are now seeing reports from groups being targeted from IRS offices NATIONWIDE.
The IRS is blaming only LOW LEVEL employees BUT…We also now know that Lois Lerner was in the know and SHE’S only 3 links down the chain of control from the very TOP.
ONLY conservative groups were the targets.
ONLY those groups that had previously been identified by THIS ADMINISTRATION as thorns in their side.
As the groups list EXPANDED it grew to include those groups standing AGAINST Obama on GUN CONTROL…FREEDOM OF SPEECH…FREEDOM OF RELIGION…THOSE CONCERNED ABOUT ILLEGAL SEARCH AND SEIZURE…Are you starting to see a pattern?
Remember…THIS is an administration with an ENEMIES LIST and the ATTACKWATCH.COM website where people and groups can RAT OUT those OPPOSED to OBAMA and one wouldn’t be a bit surprised if we dig to the bottom of this festering pile of IRS CRAP and find that THAT website was used as a source reference.
MOST importantly…OBAMACARE…
Not only is the IRS in charge of COLLECTIONS and PENALTIES related to Obamacare but…YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS WILL BECOME GOVERNMENT PROPERTY AND YOUR HEALTHCARE DECISIONS WILL BE MADE BY A 15 BUREAUCRAT APPOINTED PANEL.
Get the picture???
When will it end? Is there no limit to the cheating and scandal and lying this administration puts out? Between O trying to change reality, Cary (carnival man) and the likes of O’s cabinet members, I honestly cannot see us getting through the next 3 years much less the charade the 2014 elections will probably be!!! Are the citizens really that stupid that they cannot see what is going on?
Don’t even get me started on the countries Clown O’Biden!!!!
Unreal, frigin unreal!!!
Glenn Beck read off some of the questions directed at Jewish groups. I felt like I was in Nazi Germany. Thanks for writing about this, Craig. Sharing!
Thank you Craig for another great, informative article.
But I have to add that the “15 BUREAUCRAT APPOINTED PANEL”
is actually a 15 BUREAUCRAT APPOINTED PANEL THAT IS NOT ACCOUNTABLE TO ANYONE, NOT CONGRESS, NOT THE PRESIDENT, THEY WILL SERVE FOR AT LEAST ONE 9 YEAR TERM, AND ANY “RULES” THEY WRITE BECOME LAW WITHOUT REVIEW FROM ANYONE EXCEPT THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CHIEF, WHO CAN ONLY “RECOMMEND” CHANGES….
Sorry I do not normally yell, but this Panel known officially as IPAB is an agency created within Obamacare. Otherwise know as the “Death Panel” that Sarah Palin spoke of.
This creates an Agency that can write laws, this is COMPLETELY UnConstitutional.
