IRS Scandal goes quietly into the shadows

One of the "Conservative Agencies" that the IRS targeted in order to suppress the 2012 elections was quietly given a victory yesterday when the Dept. of Justice told the Judge the IRS would issue the 501(c)(3) status it has sought for over three years.  Of course the damage has already been done to its ability to advocate politically, like so many others, during the last election.

True the Vote is the nations leading voting rights advocates so you can see they were not small fish that was silenced.  The Dept of Justice issued their press release and asked the Judge to dismiss the case as a result.  The Obama Administration believes that the case is now moot as a result of their magnanimous decision to allow the IRS non-profit status.

True the Vote disagrees. 

"Cleta Mitchell, lead counsel in the litigation, and a partner at Foley & Lardner, LLP in Washington, DC, responded to the DOJ filings by noting, “While we are glad the IRS has realized TTV’s tax exempt status should be granted and is now moving to rectify its failure to do sooner, this case is far from moot. There are still many questions to be answered, such as:

* When is the IRS going to actually issue its letter granting tax exempt status to True the Vote?

* What about the costs and damages incurred by True the Vote for the past three years while the IRS unlawfully delayed issuing the letter of recognition?

* What about all of the confidential and proprietary information sought and demanded from True the Vote that the Treasury Inspector General has stated was not necessary for determining True the Vote’s eligibility for exempt status, and which is now apparently going to be made public?

* What about the violation of True the Vote’s constitutional rights by the IRS and its agents and employees during the course of these last 3 years?

“This lawsuit is about getting to the truth and we are not going to stop until we find out the answers to these and many other questions,” added Ms. Mitchell."

Meanwhile, back at the ranch......

Lois Lerner has quietly retired and is no long drawing a tax payer funded paycheck.

Why the left want our guns!

You need look no further than someone they admired most -- Mao Tse-tung

“Every Communist must grasp the truth, “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” “Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party.”

Naming US Warships after pacifics

We learned that a new US Attack submarine is rolling off the line soon bearing the name USS Jimmy Carter.  Fearsome, huh.....

Now, this picture comes to us from Powerline blog:

Cruz Control

Can someone tell me why the Democrats are complaining that the minority radicals in the House of Representatives have hijacked it?  In the House yesterday it voted to agree to keep funding the US Government through the "continuing resolution" and stripped Obamacare funding from it.  The vote was almost along party lines with two democrats crossing the line to vote with the Republicans.  Two.  The two Democrats were Mike McIntyre, NC and Jim Matheson, UT.  In spite of the defections, it would not have made a difference in the passage.

So, now we have the MSM beating the dire straits drums and positioning the blame for shutdown on the Republican shoulders.  I find it maddening that the reason we are in the position of funding is entirely on the Senate Democrat shoulders.  They have failed, by breaking Federal law, to pass a budget according to our Constitution.  But, hey, we know how they feel about that tired old document anyway. 

I also find it maddening that some GOP politicos are fretting, sweating and regretting having to vote Obamacare down in the first place.  Why?  They seem to think it is unpopular to do so?  The plurality of the electorate in the US has, from the first day the law was rammed down our throats, never wanted it.  To this day those in opposition to its implementation have only grown in spite of the massive propaganda the MSM has utilized to sway us to like it.  The President has used his office and his resources to travel around the country to try to sell this snake oil since it passed and our minds still haven't changed about it.  The majority want it dead.

So, how is it that the GOP thinks that they are taking a risk when all they are doing is what the majority of us want anyway?  The old guard want it, that's why.  Most Americans have been on pins and needles believing that the GOP would cave and funding for this unpopular law would finally be implemented.  If not for the brave 24 conservatives standing in the way.  Those 24 tea party types knew what their constituents wanted and remained true to their election pledges to throw that garbage legislation, er, in the garbage.  Those 24 knew that the majority of Americans who were not responsible for their election victories also want what they promised.  This is how the 24 stood and ultimately won against all odds.  Against their own party (or RINO).  If the Democrats think that setting up this CR showdown is going to get the House back in 2014 they are delusional.  If they think we the people are so stupid that we don't recognize who is the danger they will once again be shocked, as they were in 2010 and in the Colorado recalls.

A Ted Cruz aid, Amanda Carpenter,  tweeted the following message:

"GOP beat gun control, changed Obama's mind on Syria, is holding the line on amnesty. We can defund Obamacare, too!"

The Communication Chair, Allan Brauer,  for the Democrat Party in Sacramento commented:

"May your children all die from debilitating, painful and incurable diseases."

Mr. Brauer wasn't finished, he went on to post --

"Busy blocking the tapeworms that have slithered out of hellspawn @amandacarpenter's asshole. How's your day so far?"

and

"I'm being attacked on Twitter for wishing one of Ted Cruz's pubic lice to experience the pain her boss is inflicting on Americans."

The Democrat Party of Sacramento did not waste any time (same day as the rants appeared on twitter) to ask for and accept Mr. Brauer's resignation.  I was ready to pull out the Nanci Pelosi "Hateful speech leads to violence" article but the Democrats actually did the right thing here and canned his butt.  Free speech is guaranteed in this country, but with free speech there should be consequences to this hateful and venomous spew.  Kudos Democrats.....

The Bad Piper

Just came to my attention.....I was talking with my sister who just visited my site here for the very first time and she commented on the "Amazing Grace" posted video here and the "lone piper" portion of the song.  She indicated if I liked bagpipe music then I would enjoy "The BadPiper".  Guess what, I did.  Enjoy.....

Ramirez nails it again!
