“I Don’t Think Targeting is Wrong”

Acting IRS Commissioner Mr. Stephen Miller (Could actually be Eugene Levy,  Geoffrey Rush or their offspring, I’m awaiting verification on this.) , during this mornings hearing regarding the IRS targeting Conservative Groups stated unequivocally that he did not believe targeting was wrong.
Much is being made that this man was a Bush appointee.
Folks… this man is exhibiting the Cultural Mindset which resides within the Government as we know it. It doesn’t matter who appointed him. I don’t care if George Washington himself personally indorsed Mr. Miller. He is an example, just an example, of what is wrong with the IRS.  I’ll leave alone the fact the George Bush, pick one, was not a rock ribbed Constitutional Conservative.
Bear in mind, Mr. Miller is just one of the players in this scandal and he wasn’t in charge during the peak of these targeted investigations of groups based on politics as determined by those in the IRS.
There are many more people involved here. Many, many more.

It is also amazing, and worth paying attention to, how much the IRS and apparently this White House depends on the news media for being alerted to issues which they are a part of. Frankly, it should cause every American to shake their head and wonder if anyone works in Washington D.C., and if so do any of them possess cell phones. The lack of communication and reliance on outside third parties to inform them what is happening within their own departments is astounding.

Please… please pay attention to this. This is Bloated, Over-reaching, Unaccountable and Oppressive Bureaucracy on display.

This attitude permeates all agencies within our Government.

This is not just about the IRS.

What Does it Mean When…

Your Boss say’s he has “Complete Confidence” in you?

Well, if you’re a political appointee, it means you better dust off your resume.

In the world of Politics there is a special language. A language all its own.
If your employer is elected to office, and he or she states they “expect” you to continue to be an important part of their Administration… Advisors… or Food Tasting Committee, you’re screwed. What they really mean is “You have around a week to figure out what you’re going to do, other than my Administration… Advisors… or Food Tasting Committee.”

So when President Obama made this statement regarding Attorney General Eric Holder, Mr. Holder should have made a call to his Real Estate agent.  DC is awfully expensive place to live if you don’t work there.  (Can I suggest Idaho? I understand people just like AG Holder end up there with frequency.)

This also explains something to me that I found mysterious… for about 30 seconds, until a saw something shiny.

I watched the entire hearing with Holder on CSPAN yesterday.  (I know… but right now time is the only thing I have in abundance.)

Attorney General Eric Holder was an Arrogant, Self Centered, Smug, Snarky, S.O.B.  It really is worth watching, even though it’s CSPAN.

While I expect that kind of behavior from an Elitist Progressive, under the circumstances I thought it was bizarre.  The attitude was going to do nothing in regard to his preservation as A.G.

He already knew.  He already knew the President was going to have him step aside… and given that he has served longer than most political appointees, it would be positioned as a normal “transition” even though we all know better.  “Transition” is a much better way of going out than “Fired”.  And Obama would never want to be viewed as Firing his most loyal employees… certainly not if it could be construed that his opposition made him do it.

So, Goodbye to Eric.  Or rather, Happy Transition.

And hello to… who?

Obama has a way of locating and recruiting individuals even more onerous than those who occupied the position previously.

I wonder if the Black Panthers have anyone interested.  Or, possibly, Van Jones… I think he isn’t doing anything worthwhile right now.  Does Rev. Wright have the creds?  I’m sure he would appreciate the phone call.

This is not about President Barack Obama.

All of this is about President Hillary Clinton.

While all of the scandals are a game changer…

Don’t fool yourself. The Press is not going to suddenly stop being Socialist and embrace an ideology of Free-Markets, Liberty, Freedom and Personal Responsibility.

What is going on here is the Hillary 2016 Campaign getting a head start.

The way the Press looks at it is, if Obama falls out of favor in the eyes of the American people then all the better. This allows Hillary to run in contrast. It allows her to be the “Good” Liberal… the only one who can truly bring “Change” to government.

Nobody… nobody… nobody is going to Impeach Barack Obama.  It will not happen.  Ever.

What is going to happen now, however, is the Hillary protection effort.

That’s it.

Obama is being cast, intentionally, as “disengaged” and “uninterested”.  These are not criminal actions.  While he is “responsible”, he is not culpable… he’s just tired, and finished trying to bring change to terrible, terrible Washington.

This will be the limit of protection the Press will afford Obama. They know he is done. They know he has entered his lame duck status and there is no juice left to push his agenda Forward.

The only person the Press cares to shelter now is Hillary.

Damage control in underway.  The Media knows they have lost the Mid-Term Elections at this point.  2014 is over.  They just need to get through the next number of months without any provable Progressive criminality presenting itself and the preservation of the Socialist gains they have made over the last 6 years.

Let’s watch… shall we?

Countdown to the Race Card

It has been 5-days since all the new scandals have presented themselves.

First, the Administration will attempt a Clintonian assertion that these issues (Like Bill’s sexual harassment lawsuit.) are doing nothing but distracting from the business of Job Creation and Economic Recovery… yes the same Job Creation and Economic Recovery that has yet to materialize after 2-years of a Democratic Controlled House, Senate and Presidency followed by 3 more years of Democrat control of the Senate and Presidency.

And, since “It’s just sex” doesn’t sound quite like “It’s just tyranny” I’m not sure this will go over.

Second, expect to hear how no other President and Attorney General would be put under such scrutiny if they were not Black.  Expect Black and not African-American… the voicing most be of moral outrage from the Left in order for it to be effective.

The only interesting aspect of this will be exactly where these cries of racism come from…

So how long till we get there?

Should we start a pool?

Odium

The Culture of Elitism.

In effect… those who consider themselves Elite, Hate you.  They Hate your Freedom.  They Hate your Liberty.  They Hate your Input.  They Hate the fact you can Resist their power.  They Hate the Constitution of the United States… and they really Hate that they must beg you for your vote.  But when they DO get your vote they do everything they can to destroy the protections we all enjoy… regardless of the outcome.

The Culture of Elitism has displayed itself throughout the actions of this current Administration.

The Obama Administration has sent people into foreign countries to represent you and your ideas… and when in trouble, left them there to fend for themselves… and they died.  But, any other approach would have been “too militant”, and too reminiscent of the “Cowboys” who have resided in the White House years past.

The question we are looking for regarding Benghazi is not “Who” did it, but “Why” were we lied to about it for months?

I believe we were lied to regarding the assassination of our Diplomat in Libya because of a Socialist approach to foreign policy.  This approach promotes a softer and more gentle posturing of our representatives abroad.  It requires a far lower level of security to not seem so “American”.   And when something goes wrong it requires only the light slap of a gloved hand.  This is because the people running our country see all the worlds ill’s to be the fault of the United States.  They are the real-life Blame America First crowd.

To address some of those on the Left who view the Assassination of our Diplomat, and representatives, in Benghazi a “non-issue” and cannot find any importance in the event, let me help.  It is a Sense of Superiority that killed those men.  It is Liberal Socialism on parade.

It is the belief of the current Progressive Administration that they are blessed with a brilliance never seen leading the United States.  It is the belief that the world will “love” and “respect” the United States for the very first time.  It is the idea that finding common ground with those that feel wronged by the United State’s and posturing in “a non-threatening way”, is all that’s required to execute a successful foreign policy.

It is exactly the quest to rectify such a colossal mistake resulting from misguided governance that demands the exposure of those who find it imperative to lie to the American people for months just to continue those exact same policies unmolested.

It is exactly the cover-up… the cover-up of this Progressive Elitist approach to foreign relations, which the media has ignored for 9-months, that threatens all of our personnel overseas.

It is a sad testament to their effectiveness that the idea of a cover-up is dismissed by the media as paranoia.  Will the press wake up, as now we are confronted by a concerted conspiracy on the part of this Administration to destroy groups teaching the masses about the Constitution, using the force of the IRS?  It should be the smelling salts of Government Tyranny that alerts them to the loss of their immunity when the Administration secures the phones records of major media outlets.  If there is anyone remaining in this country who does not have a skeptical view of government, they must be shaken violently.

Sadly, I believe, the press will not do its job in explaining to the American people the jeopardy our Individual Rights are placed in when we allow Elitists to govern.  The simple reason for this is the members of the press consider themselves “Elite”.  (Apparently reading a teleprompter or signing up to travel to remote areas of the world, where no one else wants to go, and crafting a 30-second piece on the experience elevates one to “Elite” status.)  But in the end it’s the Superiority Complex, Stupid.  The mindset that you are stupid and they are not.  The idea that you need them to handle your life for you. It’s a mindset that permeates every institution from the Media, Education, Military, all three branches of Government all the way down to your City Council.

Elitism is like a Virus… it can be found everywhere, keeps getting stronger and eventually kills people.

Harry Reid and Moral Relativism

Harry Reid has just weighed in on the IRS scandal.

He would like to remind us that “the IRS has investigated the NAACP, Green Peace and a “really” Progressive church.” – His words.

I would remind Senator Reid that the IRS has already admitted to TARGETING Conservative groups. Had the IRS investigated Conservative groups in a statistically equitable proportion to Liberal groups, as they were when the examples he provides us occurred, there would be no discussion.

In other words, had they discriminated EQUALLY… there would be no story here, and they certainly would not have admitted any wrong doing.

Isn’t it time for Senator Reid to retire? Or is this kind of subterfuge, and attempt to intentionally confuse the public, the pinnacle of Senatorial performance?  On the other hand, it does illustrate that in America you can be anything you want to be.

Nevada should be ashamed. Yes… the entire State.  And, probably those States bordering it.  And all the airspace above it….

The Leftist Lexicon

I’ve written previously regarding the language of the Left.
Many of us realize the battle to control the language is fought in order to control the argument.
An easy example of this is the use of the words “Ask”, “Rich” and “Fair Share”.
When you hear a Progressive make the statement “I don’t think it is unreasonable to ask the rich to pay their fair share…”  What is really being said is “I don’t think it is unreasonable to FORCE THOSE DETERMINED BY ME to pay AN AMOUNT I DECIDE ON.”

Of course I find this reprehensible as it necessarily requires one individual to have the power of force over other individuals.  Not just to make them pay something… but to decide what and how much they will be forced to pay.  There is incredible power in being “The Decider”.

Anyway… the latest example of this strange language is “Social Welfare” in regard to tax exempt status.

The press is repeating the term “Social Welfare” ad nauseum when talking about the latest in IRS malfeasance.

The Left owns the term… and they have used it to remove The Individual from the argument of governing theory.

In other words, “Social Welfare” as the Progressives define it does not mean the preservation of Individual Liberty and Freedom.  What they define it as is “Communal Welfare”.

Of course the Liberals will never use the word “Communal” as it leads people to “Communist”, and they have spent decades trying to separate “Socialism” from “Communism” in the minds of the people.  Not educate mind you, as that would illuminate the differences without distinction… just the idea that they are completely different.  They know the people are “not ready” for a serious discussion regarding Communism… but Socialism is met with less push back in the focus groups.  (Socialism sounds so nice… to those who know nothing about it.)

So the debate, as offered from the Left, is that groups “not supporting Social Welfare” should not be allowed tax exempt status… and since they do not consider the preservation of Individual Rights a part of promoting “Social Welfare” then the groups targeted by the IRS had it coming.

Yes, I know this seems to be a subtle argument and will most likely be met with an accusation of paranoia by those who know it to be true and whose ideology benefits from such subtleties.

But I have been involved in “modifying” language for years, for exactly the same purposes as those doing it now… different reasons, but the same methods.  I know this to be true.

And once you see it you can’t “un-see” it.

Listen Carefully.  Watch Closely.  Think Relentlessly.
