I’m still not sure they are seeing him as he really is today. I’m seeing excuses and of course – it’s all the Republicans fault.

This brings to mind the Lemony Snicket stories, where the kids recognize the malevolent Count Olaf for who he is and try to warn the adults, but the adults can’t see through Count Olaf’s disguises. Plenty of conservatives tried to warn everyone else about who Barack Obama was and is, but people just didn’t want to listen. Even now, I don’t think a lot of people are open to considering just how much of a BS artist the president is.

Were he not Black, he’d never be where he is. He is symptomatic of a deep-seated illness in the American mind and soul.

Comment on Did the IRS ask progressive groups the same kind of intrusive questions they asked of Tea Party groups? (And if not, why not?) by North Dallas Thirty

Exactly, Dan.

It’s amazing how the IRS’s “incompetence” and “not understanding the rules” only manifested itself when dealing with groups that were not committed to Barack Obama and Barack Obama’s agenda.

Which means Barack Pbama and the New York Times are lying.

Thanks, John in#1, fixed.

V the K, seems like once again the Obama team’s excuse for wrongdoing is incompetence.

Amazing that the Times could even buy that excuse. If it was understaffed, as per this post, how did overburdened workers then find the time to craft the questions referenced above — or to expect to have the time to review the answers.

Yup, pretty much let them steal the election, since many people will not donate to a group until and unless they know they can deduct it.

The next time a Leftist insists there is no voter fraud, remind them of the IRS playing politics to get Obama re-elected …

The New York Times leaps to Dear Reader's defense: IRS Office was understaffed and didn't understand th rules.

Excellent question. Let’s hope some Congressman/woman is asking it, in a forceful manner and in front of a camera, very soon.

Protestant fundamentalism is male supremacist. So it never surprises me when one of its adherents spouts “boys will be boys” rhetoric.

Comment on Meanwhile, at Obama’s EPA. . . by Catseye

EPA is the bad one there are a lot of micro wars going on in the enviro community like the one with bird lovers versus the wind farms . Wind farms for those who aren’t aware kill a lot of birds on a regular basis and many of them are from endangered species. Then there’s the way the wind farms get a pass on dead birds and oil companies do not. Upshot is a lot of the information the EPA and Enviro communities have been kept out of the public’s awareness are beginning to bubble thru. When they find out the EPA has been aiding and abetting the killing of eagles and condors and other species I don’t think the public is going to be in a forgiving mood. Like the song says “No where to run to, No where to hide”.

Comment on Scandal central? Or a whole lot of talk that will amount to nothing? by Kurt

cjorach: I wouldn’t say I’m “mouthing words of defeat,” I’m just trying to be pragmatic. And if, in the present environment, it isn’t likely to succeed, then those who pursue impeachment (for example) as a result of the scandals are likely to expend a lot of energy at potentially great cost to them, and those who hope for a resignation are likely to be disappointed by an administration which will use every dirty trick and tool at its disposal to hold on to power.

I think ILC and Crosspatch make great points about the scandals still being a moving target. I particularly like Jeff’s suggestion about making it more about liberty vs. tyranny, since that’s a theme that the Tea Party coalesced around in 2009, and it may help to emphasize those themes with these recent examples in mind in the interest of a). winning more converts to our way of thinking, and b). bringing about substantive and worthwhile changes.

I asked the question mainly because after last fall’s election, the way forward still isn’t always evident to me. I know that we must not cede anything to this corrupt administration and its allies on the left, but that is mostly a defensive strategy. The question for me is one of knowing which offensive maneuvers and strategies are most likely to bring about the most positive consequences. The scandals offer a big opportunity to gain ground, but pursuing an overly aggressive strategy might backfire.

Oh yeah. Great let’s put the federal bureaucracies in charge of health care. They have been sooooo impartial.

After the GM fiasco where Delphi nonunion workers were screwed so that UAW could have their pensions made whole and where dealerships, no matter how profitable, who were owned by people who gave to Republican politicians, were closed wholesale. Why the
H€LL would anyone trust another unelected unaccountable bureaucracy with the decision over our health care. We were right to oppose it then and we are right to oppose it, with all our might, right now!

Death to Obamacare, PLEASE.

Hey, as the commie Rev. Wright stated, “The chickens are coming home to roost.” Translation: all you Obama voters can now see what the man is really like. However, your love of giving him a BJ every day means you cannot see the forest for the trees.

Not only does George W. Bush have too much character to do something like this, the IRS is so full of leftists and union pukes that any GOP attempt to use the IRS as a political weapon would immediately result in numerous IRS employees complaining to the press and to Congress. (But as we know very few IRS employees would object to leftists using the IRS for political attacks.)
