IRS Audacity - Asking For Another Billion Dollars

In the height of audacity, temporary IRS Commissioner, light weight, Danny Werfel is asking for another billion dollars in funding to add 4,500 IRS employees, to this already bloated government agency, in addition to their current $11.2 billion annual budget and 92,000 employees.   As they say in New York City, now that takes real chutzpa.   This is after revelation of IRS targeting of Tea Party and other Conservatives Groups and Christian organizations, wasteful conferences, massive bonuses, abuse of agency credit cards, millions in bogus refunds that went to a single North Carolina address, billions in fraudulent earned income tax credit payments that are unrecoverable and recent news that a senior manager at the IRS helped deliver nearly a half a billion dollars in contracts to a friend's business.  This is all happening as two IRS employees, involved in the the IRS Dirty Tricks Scandal, have already taken the 5th to avoid incriminating themselves. 

Are they kidding??   The IRS is not only corrupt, this agency and many of its employees are completely incompetent.   I know, I have seen it first hand in various audits over the years.  Yet, this is the government agency now charged with enforcing ObamaCare, involving one sixth of the US economy and all of our health care and life and death decisions.    We have reached ridiculous and just plain unbelievable.  Why on earth would Congress authorize giving even more tax payer money to a government agency that has failed us so badly.   Talk about throwing good money after bad down a toilet.   

If anything, we need to enact tax reform to make our tax code simpler, flatter and fairer, so that we can abolish the IRS entirely to use their $11 billion annual budget to help pay down our $17 Trillion National Debt that keeps growing with no end in sight.   In the process, many of these characters, the ones who are crooks and liars first need to be FIRED and then need to go to jail for their crimes.  Other IRS employees need to face the real world, the one the rest of us work in for their new jobs.   Guaranteed when that happens they won't have time for line dancing, making silly training videos, or fancy spa treatments on the taxpayer dime.  It is definitely time for a reality check for these IRS employees that have so abused the public trust.

Time For A Special Prosecutor To Deal With The IRS

The Obama Eric Holder Justice Department and the FBI are supposed to be investigating the IRS Dirty Tricks.  Don't hold your breath.  Like that is going to happen any time soon!!   Attorney General Eric Holder is himself a liar who should resign, or be fired by the President.  Of course, neither is likely to ever happen.  Always remember, Socialists, Fascists and Communists will lie, cheat, steal, borrow and history teaches us, even murder to stay in office feeding at the trough.  Boy are we seeing this adage in action with Fast and Furious, the Benghazi cover up, the IRS Dirty Tricks, Seizing of Reporters Phone Records, the NSA Surveillance Program and now the State Department cover of their sex and drugs Scandal. 

Many of the characters associated with all of these Scandals, including Attorney General Eric Holder, have gone before Congress and lied through their teeth committing perjury in the process.   So much so, that Holder has been held in Contempt of Congress, perhaps the first Attorney General in our history to earn this negative distinction.   This guy is a Socialist Liar. 

So, it is time to appoint a Special Prosecutor to get to the bottom of the IRS Dirty Tricks Scandal and all the fraud and corruption we are seeing daily at the IRS.   We have to stop the government gone wild.  Many of these no good bums need to go to jail, not get paid administrative leave, which is nothing more than a paid vacation.   Certainly, any government employee that takes the 5th to avoid self incrimination is guilty, until proven otherwise and should be FIRED, the same way a taxpayer who is audited is presumed guilty.   Obamanistas are doing everything they can to play out the clock.  The tactic is lie, delay, lie again and delay again.   We have seen this story before.  The only solution is a Special Prosecutor who can use the Grand Jury to impose justice on these bums.  It will not happen any other way.

Obama's $100 Million Boondoggle Vacation

Socialist President Obama closed the White House to tours claiming that Sequester spending cuts made it impossible to keep the People's House open at the same time it is estimated that he is spending $100 million to take his family on a vacation to Africa.   Obama left town while his administration is embroiled in numerous Scandals that lead right to the White House.   So children don't get to see the People's House while on their school trips; yet the IRS and other government agencies blow billions of dollars on Conferences, bonuses and other goodies, while feeding at the trough.  Go figure!!

Obamanistas and others in government call the Whistle Blower, Edward Snowden, a traitor for revealing the extent of the National Security Agency's Surveillance Program of the American people; yet Obama says he will not get involved as Russia's President Putin thumbs his nose at Obama.   But then again, this is the same President Obama who after the first American Ambassador since 1979 was murdered in Libya flew off to raise campaign funds, rather than remain at the White House and do his job. 

Socialist President Obama is perhaps the most tone deaf President in American history.  Obama reminds this student and teacher of history of Czar Nicholas of Russia, who just could not understand the Communist revolution that was happening around him in 1917, as the Russian people were starving.   In this case, Obama went off to Africa on a $100 million boondoggle vacation with his family, while IRS employees continue to take the 5th,  rather than incriminate themselves.    There is something very wrong with this picture.   Does anyone really believe that any other President with a brain would have done the same.  Not likely!!

Obama's Idiotic Energy Policy

As though ObamaCare is not bad enough, Socialist President Obama has issued an Executive Order, to the Environmental Protection Agency, one of his Gestapo's, to get around Congress, that will destroy the coal industry in the US.  In the process, millions of jobs will be lost in the US, the cost of everything will go up dramatically because the cost of energy and production will increase and all Americans will experience a lower standard of living.  Currently, 40% of US power plants are powered by coal.  Obama's new restrictions will cause electric companies to close those plants, or convert them to natural gas.   Conversion costs will be passed on to rate payers.   And, natural gas is more expensive than coal.  So, when you see your cost of living go up in the US and you have less disposable income to spend as you like, you can thank Obama and the people you know who voted for him.   Please be confrontational and vocal with them when you do it. 

This will also cause more American companies, that are energy intensive, to move more jobs overseas to places like China and India that are opening a coal fired plant a week.  Most important, Obama's Idiotic Energy Policy will do absolutely nothing to impact global warming.  In fact, while carbon emissions have been falling in the US for years, so that we are back to 1992 levels, they are still growing overseas.   And, by the way, global temperatures have been stable for the past 16 or more years.  It is not getting warmer after all.   This is all a bunch of baloney cooked up by big government Socialists around the world to extract more taxes from hard working tax payers. 

Obama is doing this now to take the focus off all the Scandals plaguing his Administration and his foreign policy fiasco's.   We are in for a very rough three years until Obama and his minions are finally gone.   This President is a clear and present danger to our nation like nothing this Blogger has seen in my life time.   The good news is that the next President, hopefully a real Conservative, can cancel all of these radical Obama Executive Orders with the stroke of a pen.   It can't come too soon.  In the mean time, Obama, the Man/Child, can do a lot of damage to the United States.

Obama's Foreign Policy Blunders

As we watch the circus unfold related to Edward Snowden, the national security leaker and China, Russia and other countries thumbing their noses at Socialist President Obama, what we are really seeing is the President's incompetence related to managing US foreign policy.   While Obama does everything he can to change the subject, now focusing on crazy Global Warming schemes that will destroy our coal industry, kill jobs in the US and dramatically raise energy prices for all Americans,  overseas, we are seeing what happens when we have a weak inexperienced, ineffective President.  Frankly, it is downright embarrassing for our nation; but not surprising. 

The current turn of events was predictable.   It all started with Obama's Apology Tour in the Middle East, when he first became President, blaming the US for everything bad in the world.   Then Obama declared the US would never be first to use nuclear weapons.  What a dope!   Next, Obama unilaterally announced that he was taking out the missile defense system we had installed in Poland and the Czech Republic because of Russia's insistence, without even informing our allies first and getting nothing in return from Russia, or Iran for doing it.  Again, what a dope!

Socialist President Obama's need to be loved is a clear and present danger to our nation.   Machiavelli posed the question in his book, The Prince, "Is it better for the Prince to be loved or feared".   We see the answer in what is happening around the world.   Our enemies do not fear Obama, which is the reason they walk all over him.   Richard Nixon once said the rest of the world needed to believe that the President of the United States was crazy enough to push the nuclear button, so that the button will never need to be pushed.   Russia's Putin and leaders in Iran, China and North Korea know that Obama will never push the button and so they act without any regard to American interests.   These leaders treat Obama like he is the President of a banana republic, not the President of the United States. 

It would be funny if it wasn't dangerous to our national security.    It is not clear yet whether Edward Snowden is a Traitor, or a hero.   At this point, this whole fiasco has become an international show down between the United States and any country that would harbor who Obamanistas and others in our government have defined as a Traitor.   Therefore, it is a vital interest of the United States that Snowden be returned to the United States.   Short of going to war over this fiasco,  Obama should send the Ambassador of any country that would harbor Snowden packing and not let that Ambassador back into the United States until Snowden is returned.  

There are no doubt other similar actions that can be taken to signal that there will not be business as usual with any country that harbors Snowden.  Instead, as Obama attempts to change the subject, Obama appears impotent on the global stage.   This did not happen overnight or because of the Edward Snowden fiasco; but is the result of Man/Child Obama's foolish foreign policy, since being elected.   Too bad Obama never took and passed International Relations 325.  It is all in the book that I still have in my book case at home.   Can anyone imagine these things would be happening if Ronald Reagan was still the President of the United States; not likely.

93% Of Blacks Voted For Obama - Why?

93% of Blacks voted for Socialist President Obama in the last election, despite his dismal job performance and economic plan that has really hurt Black Americans worst.  In fact, the unemployment rate among Blacks is about double the national rate, up to nearly 14%.  It was 12.9% when Bush II left office.  And, 50% of Black teenagers have no work; much highe than the rate for White teenagers.   Obama has given poor people, including Blacks, more government assistance, as 50 million people are now on Food Stamps, up 20 million since Obama was elected.  Obama has also provided the poor, including Blacks, free cell phones at a cost of $2 billion a year.  So the old saying, Whose Bread You Eat, Whose Song You Sing is applicable.   People on the dole that are Takers, including Blacks, surely voted for Obama.  It is understandable. 

However, to be clear, not all Blacks are Takers.    What is really amazing is that nearly all Black Makers also voted for Obama.  Only 6% of Blacks voted for Mitt Romney in the last election.   The question is why?  Obviously, aside from political differences, which may be real, Black Makers voted with their hearts, not with their minds.  This Blogger is not saying that these people are stupid; but rather that they just could not vote against the first Black American President, no matter what his job performance. 

The telling tale occurred a few months before the election when I asked a successful Black man sitting next to me at an industry dinner I was attending a very simple question.  It was, "If Barack Obama was White and or a Republican, given his dismal record related to the economy and creating jobs in the Black community, would you vote for him".   There was an uncomfortable silence and then this smart Black man said "No".   And, given the numbers, how could the answer be Yes, if not for an emotional response. 

Bill Clinton was always known as the First Black President, a badge of honor that he proudly wore until Obama accused the Clinton's of racism in the 2008 election.  Clinton has never forgiven Obama for that dirty campaign, given his record in the Black Community, which is far better than anything Obama has achieved to date.    Blacks voted for Bill Clinton because his common sense policies raised their standard of living.  In that case, they voted with their pocketbooks and their minds, not necessarily with their hearts.  Remember, it was Clinton, more like Ronald Reagan, that once declared "the era of big government is over".  

Too bad Socialist President Obama never learned the lessons of Free Market Capitalism.  Ironically, as a result, it is the Black Community hurt most by Obama's policies.   Successful Blacks, like all smart people, don't need big government to be successful.  If they had realized it in the last election and voted with their minds, instead of their hearts, Barack Obama may not have won reelection.

Obama Attacks Catholic Schools

In a recent speech in Catholic Ireland, Socialist President Obama attacked Catholic Schools as divisive.  Obama was in Northern Ireland, just a stone's throw away from Dublin and the Republic of Ireland, but either way, nearly all Catholic children in British Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland go to Catholic Schools and have done so for centuries.  As such, Obama's speech was really offensive; but not surprising. 

Obama's disdain and hostility toward Catholics and Christianity is well documented.  Remember, this is the President who said of US Christians that we "cling to our guns and religion".   Socialists and Communists, like Obama, see the state as their God in keeping with Karl Marx comment that "religion was the opiate of the masses".   Socialists and Communists are atheists, which I am quite sure is the case with Obama, even though every once in a while he invokes the name of God. 

Actions speak much louder than any words out of Obama's mouth.  This is the President that has removed Christian religious symbols from his presence.  In May, 2009, Obama refused to host the National Day of Prayer.  In an act of disrespect, Obama nominated three pro-abortion Ambassadors to the Vatican, all of whom were rejected.   Obama has tried to force Catholic hospitals and those working in them to perform abortions.  The Obama managed Military has tried to remove various aspects of Christian practice from the Military.  Pro-Life groups are not welcome at the White House.   Instead, Obama was the first President to speak at a Planned Parenthood meeting in support of abortion saying God Bless Planned Parenthood, the abortion killers.  This Blogger could go on and on. 

At the same time, Obama is preferential toward Islam.   While Obama will not host a National Day of Prayer at the White House, he does host dinners in honor of Ramadan.  Franklin Graham was disinvited to attend the Pentagon's National Day of Prayer, at the insistence of the Muslim community.  Obama will not call Islamic Radicals Terrorists.  Muslims have blocked Middle Eastern Christians from access to the White House.  Again, the list goes on and on. 

The fact is that Obama is the most anti-Christian President in American history.  To see all the shocking facts, just Google an article entitled, America's Most Biblically Hostile U.S. President, written by David Barton in June, 2013.   Socialist President Obama clearly dislikes Christianity and is certainly no Christian.   Obama could be a closet Muslim; but more likely as a Socialist, he is a secular atheist that worships big government.  Actions speak much louder than any words out of Liar Obama's mouth.  It is what it is. 

President Pinnochio Obama - Time To Take Responsibility

Socialist President Obama is viewed as weak overseas.   We see this daily as leaders in countries like China and Russia regularly thumb their nose at Obama.  This week is was the Edward Snowden extradition that is not going to happen as a result of actions taken by China and Russia.  The reality is that they just don't fear Obama.  Machiavelli posed the question in his age old book The Prince, is it better for the leader to be feared or loved.  Obama's need to be loved, perhaps because he was abandoned by his mother and father as a child, is not only dangerous on the world stage, it leads to lack of respect.  Only those leaders who are feared are respected. 

And, the drip, drip, drip of numerous Scandals is not helping Obama because he is viewed as weakened at home.  It is time for Obama to take responsibility for Fast and Furious, the Benghazi Cover Up, IRS Dirty Tricks, NSA Surveillance Program Overreach, Seizure of Reporter's Phone Records and the State Department Sex and Drugs Cover Up.  It does not matter if Obama ordered these things or not, the fact is that Obama's Administration is mired in Scandals, as various government bureaucrats have gone before Congress and lied through their teeth.

Obama needs to stand up and say Enough.   For five years Obama has blamed President Bush and other factors for all his problems.   Frankly, that got really old after a year or two.   But all these Scandals have nothing to do with George W Bush, or anybody else.   They all happened on Obama's Watch.  Unfortunately, Obama is a Man/Child seemingly incapable of taking responsibility.  But that is exactly what he needs to do, confessing his involvement if it occurred and then FIRING Obamanistas that may have done these things on their own.  Heads need to roll to get past these Scandals.  It will not happen any other way. 

If Obama does not do what this Blogger is suggesting, these Scandals will destroy what is left of Obama's Second Term.  And, while that may not be a bad thing if it causes Obama's inability to "transform" our country into a Socialist nation, it is dangerous on the world state.   We already see a world in turmoil as a result of Obama's naive and inexperienced approach to foreign policy.   It will only get worse if Obama is weakened further at home.   It is what it is.

IRS Union Employees To Get $70 Million In Bonuses

The National Treasury Department Union, a big supporter of Obama elections, negotiated a very sweet deal for its members.  Apparently, they will get $70 million in bonuses this year and there is little anyone can do about it.  The question is what is the basis for these bonuses; number of IRS audits, targeting Tea Party and other Conservative groups and in general making life miserable for American citizens.   The IRS is the most hated agency of government, especially now that we learn that these characters, feeding at the trough, are going to earn bonuses, 40 cents out of each dollar of which will be borrowed and added to our $17 Trillion National Debt.    

And, the IRS, in its Gestapo capacity, cost individuals and companies hundred of millions of dollars each year when we must hire accountants and attorneys to fight frivolous IRS audits.   This Blogger knows from personal experience in the last ten years, since my company has spent hundreds of hours and perhaps $200,000 in outside legal and accounting fees to teach some young IRS punk the tax code.  In three cases, when my company was audited, we owed no monies because we don't violate the law; yet we had to spend these monies proving it to the IRS.   This happens to thousands of Americans every year.

Of course, there was no consequence for the IRS, or federal government for being wrong, like so often happens with government employees.  No one at the IRS was fired, or lost wages.  We did not even get an apology letter for wasting our time and money.  This is the reason I am pushing my Congressman and Senator to sponsor legislation that says when the IRS loses an audit, the federal government should have to pay the taxpayer's outside legal and accounting fees.  Keep in mind, we already pay for the IRS cost and expenses through our tax dollars; yet they pay nothing when they lose.  This has to change. 

In the meantime, IRS Union Employees will get $70 million in bonuses this year, 40% of which will be paid for with borrowed money added to our National Debt, for making life miserable for many American citizens.  What is wrong with the picture.

Common Sense In America Is Dead

This Blogger is a Common Sense Conservative.  That means that I am a right wing Pragmatist who supports Free Market Capitalism, Economic Freedom and Limited Constitutional Government, with adherence to our Bill of Rights, as constructed by our Founding Fathers.   I am also a Social Conservative; but not radical on most issues.  I can live with nuanced positions on Gay Marriage, Abortion and Immigration Reform, as long as foundation principles are not violated.  I guess all of this means that Big Brother is watching me. With this orientation, I often find myself saying things like can we just implement some common sense.  For example: 

Does it make sense to keeping borrowing 40 cents for every federal dollar that is spent, adding to our $17 Trillion National Debt, with no end in sight, which will cause bankruptcy and the economic collapse of the United States.   This will lead to civil strife on our streets and may even cause the dissolution of the United States. 

Does it make sense to give billions of tax payer dollars and military equipment to countries like Egypt and Pakistan with people that hate our country and Western values and that harbor Terrorists.

Does it make sense to allow the Environmental Protection Agency, using Executive Orders to destroy manufacturing and retard energy production in the United States, when we so desperately need jobs. 

Does it make sense for the federal government to implement a Big Brother National Surveillance Program, monitoring the phone calls, emails and Internet activity of law abiding citizens, when everyone knows the Terrorist threats we face primarily comes from Radical Islam, within and outside the United States. 

Does it make sense to enact Immigration Reform, before our border is secure, when the current laws on the books related to illegal aliens are being ignored by Obamanistas. 

Does it make sense to allow young girls the ability to buy the morning after Abortion pill, without any parental involvement, or a doctor's prescription when a school is not allowed to give these same young girls an aspirin without parental approval.   And, should public schools be allowed to send that same young girl to Planned Parenthood for an abortion, without parental approval, when the school cannot take the kid on a field trip without a signed trip slip from a parent.

This Blogger could go on and on related to so many things happening in America today that defy basic common sense.  This has nothing to do with Liberal or Conservative, Republican or Socialist; but rather is just about logic.   Apparently, Common Sense in America is Dead.  Instead, what we have is irrational thinking by politicians that are causing  fiscal and moral bankruptcy in our country.  We have reached stupid on issue after issue; particularly with Obamanistas in power.  Go figure.

Obama Fiddles Amidst Scandals, Poor Econony and World Turmoil

Like Nero who fiddled while Rome burned, Socialist President Obama fiddles amidst Scandals, a Poor Economy and a World in turmoil.   Obama just announced that he is focused on reducing our nuclear arsenal from 1,500 Nukes to 1,000, closing Guantanamo Bay and a new Environmental Wacho Executive Order to get around Congress that will be a job killer.  All of this is proving that this President is clueless and completely incompetent. 

We face the daily drip of Scandals as information comes out about the Benghazi Cover Up, IRS Dirty Tricks, Seizure of Reporter's phone records, the NSA Surveillance Program of American Citizens and the State Department Cover Up; yet Obama is oblivious to all of it.   We just learned that the FBI is using drones within the United States to spy on us in violation of our rights.  Go figure. 

There are still 20 million Americans either unemployed, under employed working part time that want full time work and or who have just given up looking for work altogether.   This has resulted in 50 million people on Food Stamps, up 20 million since Obama was elected and 9 million on Disability, again up 2 million since Obama came to power.  And, this is all a result of Obama's failed economic plan; but so what!!  Obama has other things on his mind that are more important. 

Finally, after Obama's Apology Tour to the Middle East, blaming America for everything bad that happens in the world, North Africa is now controlled by radical Islamists, Iran is closer to a nuclear bomb, Pakistan and Yemen are full of Terrorists, Syria is embroiled in a sectarian Civil War that could turn into a bigger war involving many nations; but again Obama is focused on other things.  Yet, Obama wants to dismantle our nuclear arsenal.   Even President Putin of Russia said forgettaboutit because he realizes the threat from rogue nations. 

We have reached crazy as a result of an out of touch President that has failed on every front.  This all would be bad enough, but Obama is a clear and present danger to our nation and our people.   Wake up America, Socialist President Obama fiddles while our nation and the world burns.

National Security Agency Hides Behind Court Rulings

If you can believe what the National Security Agency is telling us, (doubtful), their justification for violating the Bill of Rights and more specifically the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, guaranteeing Americans protection from illegal searches and seizures, when they monitor our phone calls, emails and Internet activity is that it is court approved.  Big Deal, it is still a violation of our rights.   And, the court is just a rubber stamp anyway.   It has been reported that out of 34,000 NSA requests to the court to ignore the 4th Amendment, only 11 have been rejected. 

And, given all the Obama Scandals, it has become clear that we cannot believe what comes out of government Washington mouths.   There are lots of liars, including Socialist President Obama, feeding at the trough.  Of course, the NSA claims that 50 Terrorist Threats have been overted because of this program and violation of our rights, presumably since 9/11.  Obviously, the NSA did not prevent the Boston bombing, or the Terrorist attack by a Muslim Army Major, with ties to the Middle East, who killed numerous soldiers, screaming Allah Akbar, "God is Great".   Most important, if we have to give up our freedom to protect our freedom, what have we gained. 

Further, the expanded NSA Surveillance Program actually can be making us less safe.  By focusing on my wife and her Phone Calls, Facebook and Internet activity and millions of other Americans like her, rather than potential Islamic Radicals, with ties to Muslim countries known to harbor and support Terrorists, the NSA could be missing the forest for the trees.  What is happening now is just another big government ineffective, wasteful, jobs program.

It is time for the NSA and other government agencies to implement profiling to focus on potential Islamic Terrorists, with ties to the Middle East and other Muslim countries, not law abiding American citizens in violation of our rights.  It is bad enough that when we fly we sometimes have to suffer the indignity of a man with his hand down our pants.  We don't need Obama Big Brother watching everything we do and say.  We are just steps away from becoming a Totalitarian nation in the name of protecting us from Terrorists.  Yes, we do need to focus on the bad guys; but otherwise the rest of us should be left alone in accordance with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  Enough is enough.    

Checks & Balances Are Dead

Our Founding Fathers created the three "co-equal" branches of government; the Executive, the Legislative and Judiciary branches of the federal government to provide for proper Check and Balances on power because they had experienced an all powerful divine right king  The concept was good; but the reality is that it no longer exists today.   The fact is that Presidents for the last 100 years have each issued thousands of Executive Orders to get around Congress and essentially enact laws without any participation from our elected representatives. 

Congress, including members of both the Socialist and the Republican Parties, have willingly participated in the last 100 years of Socialist Creep that is bankrupting our country.  And, the Judiciary is often nothing more than a rubber stamp related to Congressional, or Executive Actions, culminating in the ruling that ObamaCare is Constitutional under the government's taxing authority.   Since that ruling basically says that the government can force Americans to do, or buy just about anything, our freedoms guaranteed us by the Bill of Rights are essentially lost.

We see this again related to the National Security Agency monitoring our phone calls, emails and Internet Activity, using rubber stamp court orders to do it, in complete disregard of the 4th Amendment of the Constitution, protecting us from illegal searches and seizures.   The reality is that out of 34,000 requests by Big Brother to ignore the 4th Amendment, the court only disallowed 11. 

Our Founding Fathers are all turning over in their graves.  The good work they did in fighting a revolution and establishing our Constitution and the Bill of Rights, in particular, have been disregarded by our elected officials, of both political parties, feeding at the trough.   Since we no longer have any Checks and Balances on power, what we have instead is Absolute Power and everyone knows that Absolute Power Corrupts, particularly when Socialists, like Obama, Communists, or Fascist are in charge.

WE THE PEOPLE must stand up to take back our country and government, by insisting that our Constitution, as written, not interpreted, remain the basis for our governance.   We cannot allow a dictatorship in the United States, the direction we are heading toward.   The US is just a few steps away from becoming a Totalitarian nation, particularly because of the current Obamanistas in power.   We face the Gestapo at the IRS, NSA, EPA, FBI, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services and various other federal government agencies.   All Americans should fear what is happening.  We are fast losing our freedom.

IRS Dirty Tricks Getting Closer To Obama

After the White House denied any Washington involvement in the IRS Dirty Tricks Scandal, claiming that targeting of Tea Party and other Conservative Groups was done by rogue agents in the Cincinnati IRS office, we learned recently that Holly Paz, an IRS Supervisor, based in Washington DC was in fact scrutinizing these applications for tax exempt status.   And, let's not forget that Washington based, Lois Lerner, the IRS Director in charge of this IRS unit took the 5th to protect herself from self incrimination, rather than tell the truth about White House involvement. 

As the pieces fall in place with the American Center for Law and Justice Lawsuit depositions, we will discover what IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman was doing at the White House for 157 meetings, more than double any other cabinet officer, in the same time period.  We do know that Shulman did meet with Obama campaign operatives.  Remember, this was in the two year period coming up to the 2012 Presidential Election.  Oh what a tangled web they weave when these Socialists practice to deceive. 

The IRS Dirty Tricks Scandal is like the drip, drip, drip of the Watergate Scandal.  It actually took two years to get to the facts related to the Watergate Scandal and the same could be true related to all the Obama Scandals because Obamanistas are all a bunch of Socialist liars.  They are doing everything they can to play out the clock, especially since they are now focused on the 2014 Congressional elections in an attempt to hold the Senate and take back the House of Representatives.  Well dah!!

Always remember, Socialists, Communists and Fascists will lie, cheat, steal, borrow and history teaches us even murder to stay in office feeding at the trough.   What we are seeing now with all the Obama Scandals is just proof of this age old adage.   President Pinnochio Obama's nose has grown so long, he needs a wheel barrel to carry it around.

Obama & Syria

Socialist President Obama has finally decided that he is going to send arms to the Rebels in Syria.   All should know as we do this that there is a Civil War going on in Syria, pitting the Alawite Shiite minority, Dictator Assad's PEEP's and mafia family, against Sunni Muslims.   This is a replay of what happened in Iraq, only in reverse.   However, in this case, the Iranians, Russians and Hezbollah, enemies to Israel, are backing Assad as their pawn.   The Rebels are getting their support from the Saudis and other Sunni led governments.  This is both a surrogate geo-political and religious war as much as anything else. 

However, there should no allusions about the Rebels.  They are infiltrated by Al Queda, enemies to both Western countries and Israel.  And, no matter who wins this religious war, Syria is likely to end up with a Dictator that will be no friend to the United States or Israel, no different than has happened in Egypt now being run by the Muslim Brotherhood, an avowed enemy of Israel and Western countries. 

Socialist President Obama is very naive in his Middle East dealings.   We are confronted by Radical Islam in the Middle East and it exists both among the Sunni's and the Shiites.  The Saudis fund Madrases Schools all over the world that preach hatred of the United States, other Western countries and Israel.  These radical Islamists hate freedom and Western values, particularly related to the place of women in society.  We are even seeing it in play in Turkey, a supposed ally of the United States and member of NATO, as the Prime Minister there is attempting to turn Turkey into an Islamist state, moving that country away from its secular roots.  
   
As such, as we move to assist the Rebels in Syria, no one in the United States should expect a positive outcome no matter what happens there.    This situation can only be the best of the worst scenario when the dust settles.  Too bad Obama can't see the forest for the trees; but nothing new related to his failed foreign policy in the Middle East.

Edward Snowden - Whistleblower or Traitor

Is Edward Snowden, the young former Booz Allen contractor, working for the National Security Agency, a Whistle Blower or a Traitor?   If Snowden is actually working for the Chinese, or the Russians, or some other government, that would make him a Traitor.   If however, Snowden is just an American concerned about the over reaching surveillance of American citizen's phone records, emails and Internet activity, in violation of the Bill of Rights and 1st and 4th Amendments in particular, then his revelations would make him a national hero and a Whistle Blower. 

Of course, the Establishment in Washington DC, which includes both Socialists and Republicans see Snowden as a Traitor who has revealed government secrets that they have approved over the years.   The fact that the NSA Surveillance Program goes far beyond anything necessary to track Terrorists and is a vast Big Brother over reach seems lost on many of our elected officials, including Socialist President Obama, who railed against Bush II and the Patriot Act in 2007, as a violation of our rights, when he was running for President.   Ironically, it is Obama that has vastly expanded implementation of the Patriot Act way beyond anything ever implemented by Bush II. 

However, as a result of all the Obama Scandals including, Fast and Furious, the Benghazi Cover Up, the IRS Dirty Tricks, Seizing Reporters Phone Records and now the State Department Cover Up of Sex and Drugs activities of State Department employees and all the lies we have seen during testimony before Congress, there is absolutely no reason for the American people to trust our government related to this latest National Security Agency over reach.   In fact, history teaches us that we need to fear government, especially when a Socialist, Fascist, or Communist is in charge.

Homeland Security and now even the IRS has purchased thousands of assault rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition.  In addition to regular law enforcement and presumably the National Guard, an internal army is being created by Socialist Obama.   This is not being done to fight Terrorism, or to deal with tax cheats.  It is being done because Socialists in government fear an uprising by the American people against them and their policies.   They do have reason for such fear because bankrupting our country, the path we are on as a result of Obama's Socialist Schemes, will no doubt lead to economic collapse and civil strife on our streets.   That day is coming. 

In any case,  Edward Snowden just confirmed what this Blogger has been saying since Obama was elected, we can't trust our government.   There are no checks and balances on federal government over reach as 100 years of Socialist over reach has eroded our freedom.  Always remember, Socialists will lie, cheat, steal, borrow and history teaches us even murder to stay in power feeding at the trough.   We have seen this premise in action as all the Obamanistas go before Congress, one by one and lie through their teeth.

US Government Surveillance of Americans

Recent revelations in the news tell us that the US government is implementing surveillance of all American citizens by monitoring phone calls, emails and personal Internet activity.   The million square foot facility built outside Salt Lake City (five times bigger than the Capital building) by the National Security Agency has enough capacity to monitor and store every single personal interaction between all Americans for years to come.  And, don't be surprised if we don't learn that this Obama Gestapo is not also monitoring our credit card activity.  There is no doubt that the technology is there to track everything we do, eat, buy and own. 

Big Brother is here and his name is Socialist President Obama.   It is particularly ironic that Obama has approved this vast over reach of the Patriot Act, enacted by Bush II to track Terrorist activity, when Obama railed against Bush II as a Presidential candidate in 2007.  In fact, Obama said that if elected he would order his Attorney General to strike down every Bush Executive Order that was a violation of our rights.  First, given that Eric Holder is the Attorney General and is a proven liar held in Contempt of Congress, that comment by Obama is pretty laughable. 

The Patriot Act, which this Blogger supported after 9/11, was supposed to track Terrorist and foreign connectivity, not my wife's cell phone, Internet and Facebook activity.   The National Security Agency simply needs to implement profiling to track Radical Islamists with connections to various Muslim countries, along with any extremists groups in the US to stop any Terrorist threat.   Even with all this over reach and violation of our rights that is occurring today, it did not stop the Boston bombers, or the Muslim Army Major that killed many on an American military base in the US.  These things happened because the NSA and the FBI did not have their eye on the ball. 

Tracking the communications of all Americans amounts to shredding the Bill of Rights.   Supposedly, this is justified because it is approved by a court.  The reality is that with the Supreme Court decision in favor of ObamaCare, we no longer have any real checks and balances to restrain Executive Power.   There were 34,000 requests from government agencies to the court to allow this expanded wire tapping and only 11 were rejected.  Getting court approval is just a rubber stamp formality and nothing more. 

In addition, all the communications companies; Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter and all the phone companies are now compromised and cannot be trusted to safeguard the information we give them.  These companies were already selling our information to marketing companies to track our buying behaviors.  Now they are all in bed with the federal government, especially Google, as good Crony Capitalists.   This is the reason major protests are planned on July 4.   Young people in particular that live on the Internet feel betrayed both by these companies and their President Obama. 

At that same time, Homeland Security and now it was revealed that the IRS are buying AR-15 Assault rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition.   The question is why and to use against whom.  Why on earth would an IRS Agent, presumably an accountant, be packing heat.  Supposedly IRS agents had to use guns 8 times, while doing their jobs, however, there were 11 other incidents when they injured themselves in the process.   This might be because an accountant should not be given a pointy pencil let alone a gun to do his or her job.  What are they smoking in Washington DC. 

Is the IRS now responsible for enforcing ObamaCare going to go out with guns to make sure all Americans buy medical insurance.   What is next?  On a daily basis we learn of these threats to our freedom.   There are no longer any checks on Executive Power as Obama is using Executive Order to get around Congress to "transform" America into a Socialist nation.   Homeland Security and the IRS are being given guns, not to deal with Terrorists; but because Obamanistas fear unrest and civil turmoil that will come with the economic collapse of the United States.  These are very dangerous times indeed.

Socialist California - Government Fiscal Insanity

It has been reported that there are 20 million people in California, out of about 35 million, that get some kind of government check.  These California residents are either on Welfare, Food Stamps, Disability, Social Security, Medicare, a government pension, a government payroll, student aid, or in the military.  Is it any wonder that there are no Republicans in a state wide office.   The Socialists have done their work well.  They have pushed California both over the tipping point and toward bankruptcy, since California has more than $300 billion in unfunded liability for local and state pensions; not to mention billions of dollars of other debt that eventually must be repaid.  

Governor Moonbeam Jerry Brown is trying to restrain spending; but he faces a state legislature controlled by even further left wing Socialists that are owned lock, stock and barrel by the public employee unions.  This is the reason Brown pushed through higher sales and income taxes in the last year that will both be job killers.   And, the proof is in the numbers.   Since California is a high tax and regulation blue state, big companies have been leaving for years. 

In fact, 30 years ago, there were about 250 companies with 5,000 employees or more headquartered in California.  Today that number is around 106.  In the same time period, business friendly Texas, has grown from about 80 large companies, 30 years ago, to 225 headquartered in that state.   Anyone with a brain, must conclude that Texas is doing something very right and California is doing a lot very wrong.  What few major companies remain headquartered in California have moved major operations out to avoid California corporate income taxes and burdensome regulations. 

And yet the fiscal insanity continues.   The state of California actually advertises on the radio encouraging people to apply for Food Stamps, MediCal, College Aid and other government benefits as though the number on the dole is not large enough.  Socialists in California just assume that they can tax the rich more and more as though the rich can't and won't vote with their feet, which has been happening for years.  If current trends continue, California will be left with Takers and fewer and fewer Makers and then what. 

California Socialists will then do what they always do and this is borrow more money to take care of their PEEP's to win elections.   California bonds are rated as junk bonds because California's outstanding debt, in the billions of dollars, is huge.  As such, California must pay very high interest rates to borrow money.  Various cities in California have already filed bankruptcy and more will follow suit. 

The California story is the Obama federal government story.  The difference is that the federal government is just printing money, which eventually will destroy the value of the dollar, to fund the federal deficit.  What Socialists have done to California, Obama is doing to the United States.   The outcome will be the same; economic collapse.  It is only a matter of time.

Obamanistas Support Abortion Pill

For a little while it looked like the Obama Administration would do the right thing when in opposed allowing young girls, under 15 years old, the right to buy the Plan B Abortion Pill, without a doctor's prescription.   The reality is that any minor should have been required to get a prescription to buy this after sex pill; but Health and Human Services at first agreed to a 15 year old cut off.  Pro - Choice Groups, including abortion mill Planned Parenthood, sued in court to remove any restrictions on buying this abortion pill over the counter at any age.  A left wing liberal judge, who should be impeached, agreed with these radical feminist groups. 

Rather than appeal the decision, Obama could not withstand the pressure from his PEEP's at Planned Parenthood and as a result, Obama ordered the Attorney General to drop the case.   So now, young girls of any age can buy the Plan B Abortion Pill.   This should be no surprise since Obama supports unlimited right to abortion, including heinous partial birth abortion, which is infanticide murder. 

Why is it that Socialists and the lame stream left wing media are so intent on killing innocent babies and particularly Black and other minority babies, since most abortions are performed on poor women of color.   Given the technology that clearly shows a living human being, this Blogger just does not get it.  Since when does a woman have the right to choose the death of another human being without any consequences.   And, now with the morning after abortion pill, young girls will have unprotected sex knowing that all they need to do to prevent pregnancy is take a pill they can buy over the counter.   A country that would murder babies cannot remain a country for long because without moral authority all is lost. 

Hillary Clinton - Sex, Lies & Video Tape

In the drip, drip, drip of Obama Scandals, that lead right to the White House, we learn now that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and or her minions at the State Department apparently covered up alleged crimes related to State Department employees and in one case the Ambassador to Belgium that solicited Prostitutes.  This was brought to light by yet another Inspector General only to be suppressed by Obamanistas.   The Obama story is becoming like the movie, Sex, Lies and Video Tape. 

Everyone with a brain knows that the Benghazi Obamanista story, that resulted in the murder of our Ambassador in Libya and three other Americans, was a major cover up just a few months before the election.   Clearly, the IRS Dirty Tricks Scandal leads right to the White House.   In addition, so does tracking of all Americans emails, phone calls and Internet activity since it was approved by Obama.  And now, this State Department imbroglio is just more of the same; lies, lies and more lies and cover up.  Oh what a tangled web they weave when these Socialists practice to deceive.

The Obama Presidency is over.   Remember, it took two years for all the information to come out about Watergate.   We will see the same Drip, Drip, Drip related to all the Obama Scandals making it virtually impossible for Obama to govern.   Obama can lie to some of the people, his PEEP's, some of the time; but he can't lie to all of the people all of the time.  Eventually, the truth will come out on all of the Obama Scandals and it will be devastating.

Obamanista Secret Email Accounts - More Lies

In violation of the Freedom of Information Act, the Associated Press reported that various Obamanistas have secret fake name email accounts.  They are doing this to prevent the Press from gaining access to emails and in the event any of them are charged with a crime.  In essence, they are hiding any incriminating evidence that could otherwise be subpoenaed.  No one should be surprised because Socialists, Communists and Fascists will always lie, cheat, steal, borrow and history teaches us, even murder to stay in power feeding at the trough.  Since Obamanistas are all Socialists, or as they call themselves "Progressives", what we are seeing with various Scandals is just history repeating itself, like it always does. 

This Blogger started sounding alarm bells about Obama from the day he first ran for President because this Man/Child is not an old style moderate Democrat.   In fact, the Democrat Party no longer exists.  It died when Obama beat Hillary Clinton in the primaries.  Hence the reason, I continually refer to Socialist President Obama.   It is what it is. 

As Socialists, Obamanistas have a disdain for our Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  They see our founding document and other laws on the books as a nuisance to get around at every turn.  Obama is doing it by issuing thousands of Executive Orders to go around a Republican controlled House of Representatives.  We saw with the Supreme Court ruling in favor of ObamaCare and court rulings allowing unfettered surveillance of the American people.   We no longer even have the checks and balances we need to check Obama's Executive Power.  As a result, we are entering a really dangerous period of American history.  

We have a President who acts like a banana Republic Dictator that is bankrupting our country.   Obama, his Socialists pals in government and public employee unions will cause the economic collapse of the United States.  When that happens and it will happen if the current Obama deficit spending trajectory continues, all bets are off.  It is impossible to continue borrowing more than 40 cents for every dollar we spend adding to our $17 Trillion National Debt with no end in sight. 

At the same time, there is more than $100 Trillion of unfunded liability sitting out there for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, ObamaCare and local, state and federal pensions.  Unless something happens pretty quick to stop the fiscal insanity, we will see the economic collapse of the United States.   It is inevitable and it will lead to civil strife on our streets and perhaps the dissolution of the our country.  If we don't elect Common Sense Conservatives in 2014 and 2016 to take back our country to begin to roll back 100 years of Socialist creep, all is lost.  In the mean time, Obamanistas continue with their secret fake name email accounts to hide their dangerous activities from the American people.  Just more Obamanista lies that threaten our nation.

James Clapper - Another Obama Federal Government Liar

James Clapper, Obama's Director of National Intelligence testified before a Committee of the US Senate that the United States government was not "wittingly", (whatever that means), implementing surveillance of American citizens.  Clapper outright lied through his teeth.  We know now, as a result of a Whistle Blower, that the huge National Security Agency facility that the government maintains outside Salt Lake City, is Big Brother personified.   Obamanistas are tracking our phone calls, emails and Internet activity in the largest Dragnet in human history. 

Literally, Big Brother is monitoring 3 billion phone calls a day, in addition to our emails and Internet clicks.   And, don't be surprised if Big Brother is not also monitoring credit card charges to see what we buy and where we buy it.   That shoe is likely to fall soon as more information comes to light.  This is all being done in a dramatic expansion of the Patriot Act, enacted after 9/11, that was designed to track Terrorist activity, not every interaction happening between all Americans. 

We have seen Obama's Gestapos at the IRS, EPA, Health and Human Services, the FBI and other government agencies in action as they attempt to control all aspects of daily life.  Now, this daily surveillance of all our digital interactions is the road to Totalitarianism and a Police State. History teaches us not to trust a federal government out of control, particularly when a Socialist, Fascist or Communist leader is in charge.  Obama is a Socialist and as such all Americans should fear what is happening as a real threat to our freedom as Obamanistas ignore the Constitution and trample on the Bill of Rights. 

Always remember, Socialists will lie, cheat, steal, borrow and history teaches us even murder to stay in power feeding at the trough.   As such, we can't believe a word that comes out of Obama's mouth.   James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence lied to a Committee of Congress.   As a result, why on earth would anyone with a brain believe what Clapper says to us now when he proclaims Americans need not fear this expanded surveillance.

The United States Becoming A Police State

It is important to see the confluence of Obama Scandals surfacing daily as a big picture.   The United States, as governed by Socialist President Obama, is fast becoming a Police State.  Always remember, that totalitarian Socialists, Communists and Fascists will lie, cheat, steal, borrow and history teaches us, even murder to "transform" their countries into a one party dictatorship.  Obama is a very smart liar, who regularly manipulates his uneducated PEEP's, the people who voted for him and the left wing, lame stream media.   Everything Obamanistas do and say is propaganda designed to move our country that much closer to becoming a one party Socialist nation.

To get there, Obama is using every department of the federal government to govern all aspects of daily life.   Whether it is the Internal Revenue Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, Homeland Security, the National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Health and Human Services, Department of the Interior, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, etc. etc., Obama is using all of them, by 1000's of Executive Orders, to reach into our homes and businesses to control what we do, eat and own.  We are losing our freedoms because Obama is a Totalitarian with a nice smile.  Obama is the devil in disguise of a benevolent caring President concerned about the Middle Class.   It is all B---S--- and very dangerous. 

The drip, drip of Scandals that we see daily just demonstrate the Obama span of control.  Does anyone, with a brain, really believe that the White House had nothing to do with the IRS Dirty Tricks Scandal when the Commissioner of the IRS met with Obamanistas 157 times in a two year period at the White House, more than double any cabinet officer.  Now we learn that Obama Big Brother is monitoring our phone calls, emails and Internet activity in the name of security -- baloney.   And, Homeland Security has purchased thousands of assault rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition, to use against who?  

All Americans should fear Obama.  This President and his minions in government are a clear and present danger to our freedom.  Adolf Hitler was originally elected as Chancellor of Germany and used crisis to take Dictatorial power.   Obama is doing exactly the same as he makes the United States a Police State.

Good Reason To Fear Government

Like no other time in our history, Americans have very good reason to fear the government as a threat to our freedom.  This is not right wing paranoia, as often contended by Socialists and the lame stream, left wing media; but rather based on daily revelations concerning Obamanista government over reach into all aspects of daily life.   Our Founding Fathers adopted the United States Constitution to limited government; but 100 years of Socialist Creep and judicial activism has changed all that to our detriment.   Socialist President Obama and his minions are a clear and present danger to our liberty that becomes more evident each day.  

The Environmental Protection Agency is using the Clean Air Act and Executive Orders and Regulations to govern everything we do, eat, or own.  The IRS is targeting Conservatives groups and Christian organizations for additional audit and scrutiny because we do not tow the Obama party line.   We just learned that the National Security Agency, from a huge new facility outside Salt Lake City, is tracking emails, Internet activity and the phone calls of more than 100 million Americans in the name of "protecting" us from Terrorism.  Big Brother is indeed watching everything we do.  It is pretty scary.  Don't forget the Department of Homeland Security has purchased thousands of assault rifles, (the kind they want to stop American citizens from owning) and millions of rounds of ammunition.  Why??  To use against who??  Obama once said he wanted to create a military within the United States as big as the military we have to defend our country from foreign enemies.  Again, why?? 

The Obama/Holder Justice Department, full of liars, including the Attorney General, seized the phone records of Reporters in violation of First Amendment rights guaranteeing freedom of the press.   Our right to bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment in the Constitution is always under threat.  When the Federal government takes over a property, presumably in foreclosure, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is retaining the mineral rights, after resale, to control what goes on with that property forever. 

And finally, the Supreme Court recently ruled that, upon arrest for anything, the government is allowed to take swab samples from inside our mouths, to create a DNA federal government data base, without obtaining a search warrant as guaranteed by the 4th Amendment of the Constitution protecting against illegal searches and seizures.   The IRS is gathering millions of Americans health care records in preparation for the enforcement of ObamaCare.   Don't be surprised if as part of this Gestapo Administration, doctors will not be required to implement that DNA test for all of us to get our personal information into the government Data Base.   Totalitarianism is often incremental until it is too late and our freedom is gone for good. 

As a student and teacher of American History and Government, this Blogger is sounding alarm bells.  What is happening in the United States, under the direction of Obamanistas, is frightening.   These Socialists see the Constitution as a nuisance in their way and do everything possible to get around, or ignore it.  WE THE PEOPLE must stand up before it is too late to say NOT HERE, NOT NOW, NOT EVER will they take our freedom from us.    Too much blood and resources have been spent to protect our freedom to allow these Socialists in government to take it from us bit by bit.   We must roll back the 100 years of Socialist Creep that is destroying our country and way of life.   The threat we face is real.  Get organized to send these Socialists back to the universities they came from before our freedom is completely gone. 

Obama - First Affirmative Action President

Socialist President Obama was elected by his PEEP's, those on the dole, the 50% of Americans that pay no income taxes at all, private sector and public employee union members, radical feminists and environmentalists, no nothing young people, trial lawyers and crony Capitalists, all feeding at the trough and often dependent on government.  Many of these people are poorly educated with no job skills and as such they look to government to take care of them because they cannot take care of themselves.  Obama Voters are often the Takers in society being supported by the Makers; those of us who have sacrificed to get where we are and who work hard and pay all the taxes in our country. 

In essence, Obama's PEEP's have elected the first Affirmative Action President and by that I mean Obama is just not qualified to be President.   From a historical standpoint, most Presidents have been Businessmen, Governors, Senators, Congressmen, or Generals with years of practical experience as managers getting things done.  Obama was a law professor and Community Organizer with a few inconsequential years serving in the Illinois State Senate and US Senate.  

This spoiled Man/Child has accomplished nothing of importance in his life except campaigning for office, that never stops, to win elections.   Obama is like an Affirmative Action appointment who got the job because he is Black and for no other reason I can see.   The significance of being the first Black President is not lost on this former student and teacher of American history.  I just wish our first Black President had more substance, rather than being a liar and a man in an empty suit.  Certainly, there are many other Black Americans, with more life, business, or political experience, that could have done a far better job.  Obama did not pay is dues and is therefore ill prepared to be President and that becomes more obvious by the day.

However, I certainly am not saying that Obama is stupid; though as a result of his inexperience he does and says some pretty stupid things.  Quite the contrary,  this Blogger recognizes that Obama is very smart and manipulates his PEEP's regularly; but at the same time this Man/Child is completely incompetent because of his inexperience.   There is no time for on the job training for the President of the United States. 

When the history books are written, Obama will be listed as our first Black President.   Otherwise, he is likely to be poorly rated because of his inability to restore economic growth, a naive and failed foreign policy, disastrous ObamaCare and the numerous Scandals that are spinning out of control that are likely to be a cancer on his Presidency.  Sadly, it is what it is.

IRS Malfeasance & Incompetence

As it becomes clearer by the day, it looks like IRS employees conspired to target Tea Party and other Conservatives groups along with Christian organizations deemed to be enemies of the President.   The only questions now are who gave the order to make these illegal activities happen and how far into the White House does this Scandal reach.   But that is only half the story.   We know now that the IRS spent $50 million in the last few years on lavish Conferences.  This is hard earned taxpayer money for IRS management to have a good time on our dime. 

More important and this is both malfeasance and incompetence is that the IRS handed out $13 billion in the last year in unearned tax monies to low income working poor that was fraudulent.  In other words instead of paying taxes like the 50% of that do so, the IRS wrote checks to these people only to discover that they did not qualify.   And, in most cases, the IRS made no effort to get these monies back deeming the recovery effort not cost justified.  This $13 Billion in greater than the entire IRS budget employing 90,000 government workers.  

Whose heads are going to roll for the IRS Dirty Trick Scandal and this malfeasance and incompetence.   All of this is just unbelievable at a time when Veterans Benefits are being cut.   Clearly, there is something very rotten in Washington DC and it starts at the Obama White House fostering a culture of corruption and incompetence.  All taxpayers should be mad as hell.  And, these are the same Socialists that continue to push for even higher taxes so that they can waste more of our money.   Ridiculous!!!  These characters should be in jail instead of collecting a government paycheck. 

IRS Dirty Tricks Lead To The White House

It is becoming more obvious by the day that the IRS Dirty Tricks Scandal leads all the way to the White House.   Cincinnati IRS Agents have testified that their orders to target Tea Party and other Conservative groups and Christian organizations came from Washington DC.  Obviously, Lois Lerner, the Director of the IRS than ran this unit and then took the Fifth to prevent self incrimination, is implicated. 

So is former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman, who had 157 meetings at the White House in 2010 - 11.   Shulman was not going there just for the Easter Egg Hunt, or to discuss ObamaCare as he testified; that's for sure.  It is important to note that the former IRS Commissioner during the last four years of the Bush Presidency went to the White House just once.   Shulman was there twice as many times as any cabinet officer. 

And, then there is Sarah Ingram that Lois Lerner reported to, who was recently promoted and is now in charge of IRS enforcement of ObamaCare.   Ingram was provided a $104,000 bonus in the last year or two, for doing what?  It is not too difficult to connect all these dots.   We don't need Sherlock Holmes to figure out this caper. 

Obamanistas at the White House knew of this targeting and perhaps directed it as early as 2010.   Where was Valerie Jarrett in all of this; the President's trusted confidante, who is currently lying low.   And how about David Plouffe and David Axelrod, the President's campaign managers.   These characters finger prints are all over this Scandal.  This whole scheme stinks to the high heavens.  But no one should be surprised.   Obama and his Socialist pals in government have called Tea Party members Terrorists and enemies to democracy.   The only question is what did the President know and when did he know it.  This is Nixon all over again, only much worse than Watergate. 

When Obamanistas disparaged Tea Party members, what they really should have said was that Tea Party members are enemies to the Socialists that would bankrupt our country to cause economic collapse to "transform" the United States into a Socialist nation.  That would be true.  The only question related to the IRS Dirty Tricks Scandal now is who is going to jail.

ObamaCare Big Losers - The Middle Class & Senior Citizens

Recently, this Blogger's primary care doctor announced that he would soon be part of the MDVIP Program, along with 700 hundred other doctors in the country that have already moved in this direction.  In the process, he will limit his practice to no more than 600 patients to allow him to provide "quality care".  In the process, since the annual cost is $1,650 per person, the other 2,000 people who currently go to my doctor will have to go someplace elsewhere, presumably because they either can't afford to pay this money, or since it is first come first serve, once my doctor hits 600 patients, his practiced with be closed to others.   Just think, if 5 doctors in Reno, Nevada where we live do the same thing, 10,000 people will be scrambling to find a new primary care doctor.   This is in addition to the 30 million uninsured nationally that will basically get free medical insurance as result of ObamaCare.  Add to that the expansion of Medicaid as more are added to the roles under ObamaCare.  

The problem with all of this is that is does not divide.   There are simply not enough doctors to go around, particularly if many retire to avoid ObamaCare, which is happening and or others limit their practice only to patients that can pay an annual fee.   So where is this all going.  The poor will continue to receive the mediocre medical care they get now, so no change for them.   Senior citizens will find it difficult, if not impossible to find a doctor willing to take straight Medicare, without an expensive overlay Medigap policy because the payments Docs get from Medicare are so low that many will not take Medicare patients.  That is already happening as many Senior Citizens are being shuffled off to Nurse Practitioners.  This will get worse as a result of the $700 Billion cut out of Medicare to insure Obama's younger PEEP's.   In many ways, Senior Citizens are paying to insure the uninsured as their no cost/low cost Medicare Advantage HMO programs go away in the next year or two.

Finally, the Middle Class is in for a rude awakening.   Traditionally, Middle Class Americans have been covered by employer sponsored plans.  But since ObamaCare does nothing to bend the cost curve and premiums are still going through the roof, many companies will cut medical benefits requiring employees to pay higher deductibles and co-pays.  In addition, by simply making employees part time, companies don't have to provide any medical benefits at all.   Most important, Middle Class Americans more and more will find themselves dealing with a Nurse Practitioner, rather than a primary care doctor because there just are not enough doctors to go around.   So, the rich and or those willing to pay an annual fee will get great medical care.   Everyone else better get used to waiting months for an appointment to see a doctor.   Thank You Socialist President Obama.   Obama is always talking about helping the Middle Class.  Or really!!  ObamaCare will be horrible for the Middle Class; just wait and see.
