IRS admits that in recent years it has zeroed in on organizations with “tea party” or “patriot” in their names. Further, The Wall Street Journal reports the IRS has also targeted groups that say they are “worried about government spending, debt or taxes, and even ones that lobbied to ‘make America a better place to live.’”

IRS agent said “you’re political” because you “criticized President Obama, who was a candidate.” Family Talk Action is “not educational” because it does not present all views. Sounded like a “partisan right-wing group” because, according to the IRS, it only presents conservative viewpoints.

IRS scandal could well be an abuse of power by the executive branch, reflecting one of the issues that was an article of impeachment drawn up for then-President Richard Nixon, before he resigned.

He “has no interest in playing by corrupt Washington rules” …. beginning to make a reputation by not going along to get along.

I sense an overall feeling of burnout and defeatism. I know it is there because I’ve struggled with it myself.

Liz Cheney was on Happening Now this morning to discuss her editorial in the Wall Street Journal where she called Barack Obama the most radical president in history. Cheney said, “My point in this oped was to say, “Wait a second!” When you have a president who’s embarked on such a dangerous path, whether you want to talk about domestic policy, ignoring the debt, trying to trample on our Second Amendment rights, on our religious freedom, national security, weakening this nation… Across the board his policies are so dangerous that it is not obstructionism to block them, I think, it is indeed patriotism.” – Jim Hoft

When the GOP was desperate with RINO McCain as the lame candidate against Obama in 2008 they turned to Palin to excite the Party and inject enthusiasm into the race. Now she is the conservative that the establishment loves to hate. She has supported more GOP winners recently than Karl Rove. Here Ted Cruz gives an impromptu intro to Palin’s speech at CPAC 2013. “We’re not here to rebrand a party, we’re here to rebuild a country.”

The leitmotif of every speech was the loss of the GOP’s core principles of conservatism in the eager race to pander to and win the hearts and minds of various voting blocks that self-segregated long time ago from the population at large.

Coulter humorously analyzes liberal speak, translates Obamaspeak and continues to mock libs in general as only she can.

“I believed [this country] is in trouble. It’s headed in the wrong direction. .. I believe that more today than I did three years ago.”
