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

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.

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.)

Comment on What took the IRS so long to come clean about the scandal? by Jason B

Jason B — Sat, 18 May 2013 21:22:44 +0000

Mike Kelly’s comments were exactly what the GOP needs to run with. It’s not just about “getting Obama” but about finding out exactly what happened within the scandals, and showing the American public that the government must rise above the partisan fray. They need to make the case that a limited government is a responsible government- and that the greater the size of the State, the more likely it is to abuse it’s power.

And the applause in the background means that the GOP just found it’s voice with the American people. And it also means that no one’s buying the stonewalling and the evasions of the IRS, DOJ, State Department, or the White House.

It’s going to be a long summer- and possibly next few years- for the Democrats and the Obama Admin.

When you politicize policy as much as Obama’s administration has, at some point it will rebound on you, just like it did with Nixon.

There will be more scandals. And they will all be linked.

Like you expect a CHICAGO politician NOT to be corrupt? None of this is at all surprising.

It seems from my discussion with friends and others, there is only 15-20% of the people paying any attention to these scandals. The rest either haven’t heard about them or seen news items that have downplayed them so they don’t think they are a big deal. Most people wouldn’t watch CSPAN anyway to view any hearings or understand the issues since Dems say they aren’t a problem.

If Obama survives, Dems will play him as a martyr since Reps were just out to get him so you don’t want any of them voted back in.

Two words: Death Panels. Yeah, that Sarah Palin — she’s just one bus stop short of Krazy Town, isn’t she? Worrying about whether a federal bureaucrat would deny care based upon political affiliation? Sheesh!

The EPA has for years funded environmental pressure groups. This is just another side of the fascist game that the EPA creeps have long played.

Yet another example of career bureaucrats unable to keep their partisan activism out of their work. This is not “Obama administration” doing so much as it is the doing of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. That party must be purged from government. They can’t be trusted. They can’t win on the merit of their argument so they resort to suppression of the opposition by underhanded means.

This may have something to do with it, too. It might be government employee influence on management:
