IRS: Impair Republican Service @teapartypassion


                                                                   IRS: Impair Republican Service

                                               

     After watching Louis Lerner the retired head of the IRS tax-exempt division plead the 5th for the second time, I thought the IRS might actually stand for Impair Republican Service.  Although TEA Party  and other conservative groups targeted by the withholding of their tax-exempt status were not necessarily Republicans, the intent was clear; Louis Lerner, the prior head of the Federal Election Commission before being the head of the tax-exempt division of the IRS, was on a mission to hobble conservatives for the two years prior to the 2012 election which, I believe, contributed to President Obama’s surprising victory.

     Louis Lerner is not your average IRS agent.  As a prior head of the Federal Election Commission, she sued the Christian Coalition in the 1990s.  She harassed the Christian Coalition for three election cycles and never won a case but her stellar performance seemed to help her land her infamous IRS job where she continued to persecute conservative groups.  Between April 2010 and April 2012, the IRS essentially placed on hold the processing of nearly 300 applications for tax-exemption status received from organizations with "Tea Party," "patriots," or "9/12" in their names while approving left-leaning applications without the same delay or probing questions. 

     Why not tell the truth if you are innocent?  Why plead the 5th?   Evidently, it appears Lerner was indeed on a mission and was using her position to manipulate political outcomes.  Perhaps there is a connection between Lerner and former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman?  Shulman, more than any other cabinet member, visited the White House at least 118 times during the targeting of TEA party groups.   If this lawless targeting proves to rise to the level of the White House, heads should roll just like President Richard Nixon’s did when he was impeached impart for using the IRS to target political enemies.

      Don’t let the IRS impair you!  If you believe you are Taxed Enough Already and there is more than a smidgeon of corruption in our government, stand up, speak your mind, and join TEA party groups across America on Tax Day, Tuesday April 15th .

Reset Button



     Amazing!  I just listened to President Obama on the news speaking to the Europeans how they are in a tough spot right now in regards to meeting their energy and security needs in part because they have grown reliant on Russia and have not diversified their energy sources.   Unfortunately, America is dependent on foreign energy as well.   The “drill baby drill” party has been preaching energy independence the last 6 years but their message has fallen on deaf ears, until now.   As we see the reset button Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pressed with Russia fail, Obama is finally becoming ‘more flexible’ and talking more about exporting U.S. energy.

     The Keystone pipeline, new drilling technology, and increased drill permitting have all been met with incredible resistance from the Obama administration, his lockstep democrat party, and his radical environmental supporters.  Billions of dollars have been pumped into renewable energy sources like solar and wind but there have been no detectable benefits.  In fact, billions of dollars have been lost from these energy companies going bankrupt after getting huge loans from the American taxpayers.   

     My own electric bill has soared over the past few months and gas has topped $3.50 again!   Perhaps, if the Obama administration was not so opposed to fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas we would not be seeing such high heating costs and gasoline prices.  We would actually have an advantage over these non-friendly energy producers like Russia right now had we diversified.

          Got gas?  America does!  America has incredible natural resources that we are not harvesting and using because the folks leading us have this utopian vision of the world that is not practical.   Many of them are financially secure so paying extra at the pump or on their heating bill does not really affect them as is does the majority of Americans.  We need to start using commonsense solutions and not allow this powerful progressive agenda run our nation into the ground.  I say drill baby drill and let’s press our own reset buttons at the voting booth in 2014!

Obama’s America


Obama’s America

     Film producer Dinesh D’Souza, a ‘renegade conservative’, was recently indicted for election campaign finance fraud charges.   Is this a coincidence?  He may or may not be guilty.  What is known is that Dinesh D’Souza is a political enemy of President Barrack Hussein Obama because he produced the surprise hit and highest grossing documentary ‘Obama’s America 2016’ that came out just before the 2012 elections.

     D’Souza made three predictions at the end of his movie.  First, he predicted Obama would not do anything significant to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons and he hasn’t.  The most recent negotiations have stalled as centrifuges continue to spin.    Russia, an ally of Iran in its nuclear program development and supporter at the United Nations, senses Obama’s weakness.  As we watch Russia waltz into Ukraine with military forces without fear, we have to wonder about the United States diminishing influence on the world stage.

     Second, D’Souza predicted that Obama would spend money like the deficit did not matter and he has.  In fact, every year, Obama has increased the debt by one trillion dollars.  The U.S. debt is now over 17 trillion dollars.  This huge debt is a global redistribution of wealth to other nations, many who are not friends of America.

     Third, D’Souza predicted that Obama would cut defense and increase taxes.  Secretary of State Chuck Hagel just announced the White House plan to severely cut back defense spending. Obama himself is asking for cuts in defense and increases in taxes in his new budget. 

     I would say that is three for three, a trifecta, according to current events.  I believe the accuracy of D’Souza’s forecast has made him the perfect conservative political target as they try to extinguish his voice, just like the IRS did with TEA Party conservatives.  The question is how did this guy, a foreign student from Mumbai, India, that eventually became a U.S. citizen and a college president, get it right?   Well, you will have see the movie at our next TEA Party meeting, rent or buy the movie, or go online and watch it for free to find out.

Cap and Trade



                                                             Cap and Trade
     One of the first of many failed policies of President Obama and his New Democrat Party was Cap and Trade.   It passed the Democrat house but stalled and died in the Democrat senate.  Instead of focusing on getting the economy back on track in 2008, they focused on Cap and Trade, an un-stimulating Stimulus, and an unaffordable failing Healthcare Act.
      Cap and Trade is basically a government takeover of companies by regulating their carbon emissions.  Companies produce a ‘carbon footprint’ and the bigger the footprint the more they would have to pay to operate.  Supposedly, this would reduce pollution and create revenue that our rulers would eventually let trickle back down to us….yeah right!  Even Obama said an inconvenient truth, “Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket!”
       How the Democrats didn’t ram Cap and Trade through when they controlled the Senate and the House is a political miracle for freedom loving Americans!  Liberal emotionally loaded names like ‘save the planet’, ‘global warming’, and ‘income inequality’ were employed to soften our hearts but the intent was to control and step all over us with their big government boot.  Frankly, I am tired of seeing the Constitution and middleclass Americans trampled underfoot.
        As a concerned citizen of the United States, I would like to put forward my own Cap and Trade  Plan;  come November 2014 every freedom loving American be registered to vote and bring two other registered freedom loving Americans with you to the polls aiming to clean up the political pollution in D.C..   We can CAP Obama’s ability to pass more harmful laws his last two years by TRADING those that voted in lockstep for these failed policies.  With new freedom loving Americans representing us, we can walk the walk and not the plank!  
     In closing, I think the footprint that really matters to most of us right now is the one on each of these rascals’ behinds as they pack their bags and head out of Washington come November!
