Obama team conducts stealth war against conservatives

2013-05-18T16:29:00.000-04:00

The current IRS scandal during which IRS officials used the power of their office to intimidate, harass, and delay conservative and religious groups, is but the tip of the iceberg.

The deeper investigative reporters dig into the scandal, the more it becomes clear that Obama operatives used the IRS to conduct a "stealth war" for purely political motives during an election year.

IRS officials have attempted to absolve themselves of political harassment by claiming conservatives were not targeted but that other groups were included in the targeted scrutiny. Their common mantra is that only half of the groups targeted were associated with the Tea Party, the implied meaning being that the other half of the targeted groups were leftwing organizations.

U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly gets standing ovation after ripping IRS

2013-05-17T16:25:00.003-04:00

For several hours today, the acting commissioner of the IRS was grilled by a House committee concerning the scandal during which the agency targeted conservative groups for harassment and delays.

A highlight of the hearing was the questioning of IRS Acting Commissioner Steven Miller by U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., during which Kelly ripped into the agency for its unethical and possible criminal activity in targeting Tea Party groups, conservative evangelical Christian groups such as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and pro-Israeli organizations.

Breaking: Central figure in IRS scandal now runs Obamacare

2013-05-16T19:55:00.000-04:00

A sleight of hand technique that is obviously designed to keep the perpetrators of illegal activity in cushy jobs within the Obama administration has been reported late this evening by ABC News.

The woman who is the central figure in the IRS scandal involving the targeting and harassment of hundreds of conservative groups during an election year is now running the Obamacare division of the IRS and is charged with oversight of the implementation and enforcement of the government's new healthcare system.

Top ways Obama has attacked guaranteed freedoms

2013-05-16T15:30:00.002-04:00

With so many scandals beginning to plague the Obama administration in recent days, some citizens may wonder, along with Hillary Clinton, what does it matter? What difference does it make?

But when viewed within the context of a free society, a Constitutional republic that guarantees the protection of certain rights, the seriousness and gravity of the current avalanche of scandals come into clear focus.

WRSA points to a Matt Bracken must-read.

Public denials of scandal designed to hide private guilt

2013-05-15T15:16:00.003-04:00

Excerpt:

"The latest example of the denials is Attorney General Eric Holder's claim before Congress today, in sworn testimony, that he knew nothing of the scandal at the Justice Department wherein operatives secretly tapped the phone records of the Associated Press (AP) or the IRS scandal that targeted conservative groups. He also claimed to know nothing about Fast and Furious back during that investigation, in spite of the fact that he was held in contempt of Congress for failing to cooperate with Congressional oversight.

"But a new pattern is developing within the administration's deep well of excuses, smoke, and mirrors."

Mainstream media begins spin of IRS scandal

2013-05-14T15:34:00.001-04:00

Although the discovery that the Obama Justice Dept. had tapped at least 20 reporters' phone lines at the Associated Press, including the main switchboard, the mainstream media continues to exhibit the fact that they are, as a whole, the water-boys of the administration.

The IRS scandal is a case in point. One mainstream outlet provided the administration with the excuse that the IRS is an "independent organization" and that it was only "low level officials" who targeted conservative groups for harassment and audits.

One cannot imagine any other reason for such an erroneous explanation to be given than to provide cover for a president who is being buried at multiple scandals all at once.

The Gun Rights and Liberty News Roundup for 5/13/2013

2013-05-13T16:43:00.001-04:00

Mike Vanderboegh points to a most interesting read focusing on the fact that the gun control movement is fueled by hate. It has nothing to do with "saving children."

Kurt Hofmann notes that the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence has suddenly decided that 3-D printable guns are all hype. They weren't saying that just a few weeks ago.

Around O-Town has the scoop on the Saudi Muslim who was arrested at the Detroit airport carrying the type of pressure cooker used in the Boston massacre several weeks ago.

This is disgusting and highly troubling. Alphecca says that the Boston bombing suspect has become a star-like heart throb for teenage girls. I swear, I know I am old fashioned, but if children do stuff like this and glorify vermin, they belong in reform school doing hard labor.

Stand Up America provides the full report on "Extortion 17" -- the loss of American heroes in Afghanistan only to have a Muslim Imam damn them to hell in the official ceremony.

Obama administration targeted conservatives on multiple fronts

2013-05-13T14:51:00.002-04:00

Excerpt:

"Apparently Obama has a Nixonian 'enemies list.'

"These revelations were reported not only in the alternative, conservative press but also on liberal-leaning mainstream news outlets. The Washington Post, Time Magazine, CBS News, and others reported information that placed the administration in a terribly negative light, a fact that until now was conspicuously missing from the news stories the mainstream media allowed on the air."

Armed protesters who plan to march across the Arlington Memorial Bridge into Washington, D.C. on July 4 will have a special greeting committee awaiting them on the other side. The D.C. police department will be out in full force ready to arrest any and all who cross the bridge into D.C. with loaded rifles.

Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier stated to Politico that officers will be standing on the D.C. side of the bridge awaiting the protesters who plan to show their outrage over D.C.'s stringent gun control laws by carrying loaded rifles into Washington.

Big trouble brews for Obama, Democrats

2013-05-10T17:35:00.002-04:00

Big trouble is brewing for Barack Obama and the Democrats on numerous fronts.
What is developing is the perfect political storm, a gathering of dark clouds on every corner, and in every direction.

First, veteran Democratic strategist and pollster Doug Schoen stated this week that the Democrats' heavily favored 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is in big trouble. Schoen stated that the Benghazi scandal will more than likely haunt Hillary right up until the next general election in 2016.

Schoen's words had best not be ignored by political partisans...

The Gun Rights and Liberty News Roundup for 5/9/2013

2013-05-09T14:30:00.001-04:00

Around O-Town links to three videos that show why our agencies cannot tell who the real enemies are.

Alphecca says that Democrats hope they can turn Texas blue. Sure they do. They are implementing the "Colorado Model" in Texas, North Carolina, and other states to do exactly that. But their success has been mixed.

Kurt Hofmann notes that although gun violence has plummeted, the gun control nuts want to change course anyway. Why?

Roberta X has an interesting story out of Columbus that focuses on BB guns and police officers.

The Twisters have a special message for Hillary Clinton on Benghazi.

Activists plan armed march into D.C.

2013-05-09T12:58:00.003-04:00

A group of gun rights activists led by Adam Kokesh plans to march across the Arlington Memorial Bridge into Washington, D.C. carrying loaded rifles on July 4, 2013.

The act of civil disobedience will break D.C.'s stringent gun control laws and is designed to send a signal to government and gun control advocates that a line has been crossed in the gun rights debate and that citizens will no longer obey government restrictions on firearms.

Although the march has been the subject of much controversy within the gun rights community, many believe that the act of civil disobedience is long overdue and is entirely appropriate.

Sorry about the delay of the roundup for the last couple of days.

The Gun Rights and Liberty News Roundup will resume tomorrow, or at least that is the plan.

Why Benghazi matters

2013-05-07T15:09:00.001-04:00

Excerpt:

"So, what should Benghazi matter to ordinary Americans? Hillary Clinton's now-infamous exclamation in testimony before Congress captures perfectly the attitude of the dumbed down masses -- "What difference does it make?" But it makes all the difference in the world that America has haphazardly dealt with politics in such a way as to make it possibly for chronic and habitual liars to make their way to the top offices of the land.

"The notion that the Benghazi massacre "happened so long ago" doesn't cut it. There is no statute of limitations on murder. And there is no statute of limitations on high crimes and misdemeanors in public office."

David Codrea says that HuffPo is soliciting "gun violence stories" from readers so it can pump up the push for gun bans.

Way Up North asks and answers, "Should Christians give up their guns?"

Pamela Geller reports that Canadians are fighting back against their pro-Sharia government's ban on free speech when it comes to Muslim terrorism.

Stand Up America has a full report on Glenn Beck's speech at the NRA. If you haven't seen it, this is a must-see! Beck never fails to deliver when it comes to public speaking.

CBS News: Counterterrorism team not activated in Benghazi attack

2013-05-06T14:20:00.002-04:00

Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News is reporting bombshell information that sheds new light on the Benghazi attack in Libya, during which a U.S. ambassador and members of his security detail were massacred in a terrorist attack.

Mark Thompson, a counterterrorism expert who is scheduled to be a witness during Congressional hearings on the Benghazi attack Wednesday, told Attkisson that his special security team, called the Counterterrorism Security Group (CSG) was not activated during the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

Benghazi scandal set to explode on administration

2013-05-05T14:49:00.002-04:00

Although the Benghazi debacle is far from the only scandal that has rocked the Obama administration, it has a very real potential of being the one scandal that could explode, blowing up right in the faces of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and other major administration officials.

The Fast and Furious scandal is in all likelihood far worse than Benghazi. But due to the current political landscape where politicians and the news media are determined to keep the administration's dirty little gun smuggling issue out of public view, Benghazi appears to be the one that has the most potential in unraveling public confidence in Obama, which already has been slipping in the polls over the past two months.

Newly elected NRA president falsely maligned

2013-05-04T17:24:00.001-04:00

"...the Daily News told at least two falsehoods, three if one takes issue with the notion that Second Amendment "absolutism" is somehow an aberration, although the Constitution itself makes it absolute -- "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." That statement is as absolute as it gets.

"But then it is not surprising that the Daily News and other leftwing outlets consider such a statement to be outrageous, given that they have made it abundantly clear that to them the Constitution is meaningless for today's world and is thus to be thrown onto the ash heap of history, free speech, free press, gun rights, and all."

Breaking: He went there but Obama's wild claim will backfire

2013-05-03T20:05:00.003-04:00

He went there. President Barack Hussein Obama blamed Mexico's problem with extreme violence in U.S. guns. But such a wild claim, which has no basis in the facts, will backfire much to Obama's shock and much to the delight of patriots who have long decried his lies.

The common mantra that U.S. guns are the reason Mexico is overrun with criminals who murder at will, drug cartels, and al Qaeda recruiters who behead Mexican citizens by the dozens is highly popular with the Mexican government and the current administration.

But the facts belie the rhetoric, at least in one sense.

Colorado now seeks to torpedo free speech

2013-05-02T19:09:00.002-04:00

We had to know this was coming sooner or later. A government that believes itself to be powerful enough to restrict the right of citizens to self-defense with firearms will sooner or later seek to torpedo free speech as well.

Invariably collectivist governments around the world prove the point. From the old Communist Soviet Union to Red China, from Hitler's Germany to Castro's Cuba, such regimes are convinced it is necessary not only to insure that their citizens are disarmed but that their right to criticize the government or to utter other forbidden ideas must be severely restricted.

The name of the game is centralized control. Government fears the freedom of the people. Thus, the people must be muzzled and deprived of their guns.

Colorado is the latest case in point.

The Gun Rights and Liberty News Roundup for 5/2/2013

2013-05-02T16:26:00.001-04:00

Kurt Hofmann writes that Hollywood has shown up too late to the party in realizing the dangers inherent in gun control.

WRSA presents a must-read on Communism. Read it carefully. Take it in. Send it to someone who is ignorant of these facts.

David Codrea reports that the ATF is already looking for ways to cut off ammunition imports in order to limit what consumers can buy.

Mike Vanderboegh says he is making preparations now for Colorado civil disobedience and is accepting donations of magazines that violate Colorado's new law.

Speaking of Colorado, CLO has news that should get your blood boiling. The tyrants who passed the anti-gun laws are now seeking to SILENCE gun owners from defending the right to keep and bear arms. Read it and ACT.

CNS reports the latest news on the continuing saga concerning the Boy Scouts of America and the pressure they are getting to change their policy to allow homosexuals. A tidbit of info--as a private organization the Boy Scouts can set any policy they want. But special interest groups threaten to withhold funding from them unless they change the current policy.

The Blaze says that the Treasury Dept. is going to pay down a tiny portion of the national debt for the first time since 2007. The devil is in the details, however, and some are skeptical.

Way Up North posts a letter written by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, addressed to the Jewish Ledger. Read it all.

Brigid muses on a piece of history -- the Walther P1 pistol. Walther, of course, is one of the oldest gun manufacturers in the world.

Standing By warns that we are just one killing spree away from sweeping new gun control laws. The anti-gun bigots will unleash everything in their arsenal, dancing in the blood of the victims, to make sure ordinary gun owners are to blame and thus are to be punished for what criminals do.

Alphecca reports the results of a survey that indicates 1/3 of Americans believe armed revolution is coming soon.

Around O-Town notes that since the PC nonsense prevents the powers that be from defining the real terrorists, DHS has to make stuff up to maintain their funding...like making training videos that depict American gun owners as terrorists.

Days of our Trailers shows us how a "smarmy assed anti-gun advocate" who thought he had pulled a "gotcha" wound up instead getting b*itchslapped.

Karl Denninger notes two public school cases, one in Florida and the other in North Carolina, that led him to blacklist both in terms of hiring and patronage. Be sure to read this!

Ready to get outraged even more? Pamela Geller says she has been banned from speaking in public in Canada about terrorism, but the country has given the green light for terrorists to say whatever they want. This is increasingly coming to America, folks, and if your head is still in the sand about free speech, you had best lift it up now or else you will find yourself living in a completely different U.S. in a few short years. We are almost there already. And it must be stopped by any means necessary.
