IRS To Tea Party: Sorry We Targeted You And Your Tax Status (Page 4)

So Obama asked for the resignation of the acting head of the IRS.  Too bad he has already leaving in June anyway.  Way to act Mr. President.  So brave, so proud...way to stick your neck out.

I kind of get a chuckle when folks on the left retort that government targets democrat groups also and Republicans are just as bad when they are in power. Election after election we (not me...but the majority) vote for candidates that promise to expand the reach of government and then we acts surprised when crap like this happens.

All of these "scandals" have one thing in common. Each of them are bigger than any individual to accept blame, including Obama. These scandals are inevitably the result of the government we created.

Is there a better example and proof that this that government is just to large and powerful? But yet the next freakin' election the same people are going to fill in the bubble for the candidate that promises more and then we'll just point figure and play the political blame game the next time it happens.  

It doesn't matter who's in the White House, Board Room, Gov. mansion etc. 

Our problems are a result of OUR failings as a society.  WE shoulder the brunt of the blame for the scandals and news headlines that fill the airwaves.  We watch reality TV and cheer their moronic behavior.  WE, as a society, have completely and utterly blurred the lines of acceptable behavior.

All the important stuff in life, I learned in kindergarden.  

Instead of fretting about whose to blame for our countries woes.  I'm gonna indulge in a "Guilty Pleasure" and eat cake.

And now this came out:

Just when you think they can't be more arrogant. They fired a guy that started like a month ago!

And Obamacare is being enforced by the IRS.  Seriously?  Geeze...

Coincidence?

I'm not watching the hearing, but the "pleading the fifth" part is merely a way to answer a question without really answering a question.  Did you steal the kit kat?  Yes (admit guilt)  No (lie under oath), plead the fifth (not really answer, but not commit perjury).  If you ramble on about something else in the hearing, it's fully on record because you are saying it under oath.  So "the fifth" isn't a blanket immunity, it's just simply a legal way to answer a single question.

btw, IANAL but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.

hmm, maybe I'm incorrect.  I just read this: (I did say IANAL) lol

REP. TREY GOWDY (R-SC): Mr. Issa, Mr. Cummings just said we should run this like a courtroom, and I agree with him. She just testified. She just waived her Fifth Amendment right to privilege. You don't get to tell your side of the story and then not be subjected to cross examination. That's not the way it works. She waived her Fifth Amendment privilege by issuing an open statement. She ought to stand here and answer our questions.

This was funny too. Deputy Sec Treasury did everything possible to stay out of the camera shot. Funny.

I just had a revelation about this whole IRS thing last night.

Back in 2010 I joined a group of like minded folks and we created a tax exempt organization to promote and fight for Civil Rights in the state legislature.  We filed the papers with the IRS in October or November 2010 and we were granted 501(c)(3) tax exempt status in February 2011.  Obviously I didn't think anything of it at the time, but after all this IRS targeting stuff coming out I find it a little interesting how easy we breezed through the process with a Civil Liberties minded organization.  Hmm

I'm sure the DOJ will investigate this and bring up charges on any crimes that were committed. 

hahahaha, I crack myself up.
