Ways and Means to IRS: ‘Provide All Communications Containing Words ‘Tea Party,’ ‘Patriot,’ or ‘Conservative’—By Wednesday | CNS News

Ways and Means to IRS: ‘Provide All Communications Containing Words ‘Tea Party,’ ‘Patriot,’ or ‘Conservative’—By Wednesday | CNS News

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Boustany (R-LA)

The House Ways and Means Subcommittee on oversight has thrown down an investigative gauntlet to the Internal Revenue Service, demanding that the agency hand over this coming Wednesday every communication in its records which contain the words "tea party", "patriot", or "conservative."  The committee is also demanding of the IRS that it provide the committee with the names and titles of individuals who were involved in targeting conservative non-profit groups for more intensive review of the applications for non-profit status.  The request followed from a report from Friday from the Associated Press that Lois Lerner, director of the IRS Exempt Organizations Division, said at an American Bar Association conference that the IRS targeted for special review applications of non-profit groups that included the word "tea party" or "patriot".  The AP quoted Lerner as saying, "That was wrong.  That was absolutely incorrect, it was insensitive and inappropriate.  That's not how we go about selecting cases for further review."  Lerner said the IRS would like to apologize for that. 

I wouldn't be surprised if the both the White House and Congress are behind the IRS targeting the Tea Party.  Many times the blame is placed on the IRS but the Senate tells them what to do.  I wouldn't be surprised if it was a liberal member of Congress that told the IRS to target Tea Party groups.  It wouldn't surprise me at all.  The Democrats in Congress as well as some Republicans would like to see the Tea Party's influence become marginalized.  Therefore, I'm not surprised the IRS has been targeting the Tea Party.

Happy Mother's Day!

Heaven Will Never Welcome a Sweeter Momma



Things I Learned at My Mother's Knee

As I Looked Back

As I Looked Back on life

I find myself wondering

Did I remember to thank you

for all that you have done for me?

For all of the times you were by my side

to help me celebrate my successes

and accept my defeats?

Or for teaching me the value of hard work,

good judgment, courage, and honesty?

I wonder if I've ever thanked you

for the simple things...

The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared?

If I have forgotten to express my gratitude

For any of these things,

I am thanking you now...

and I am hoping that you've known all along,

how very much you are loved and appreciated.

Lieberman: Boston Bombing Suspects: ‘Motivated by Violent Islamic Extremism’

Lieberman: Boston Bombing Suspects: ‘Motivated by Violent Islamic Extremism’ | CNS News

Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CONN)

Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman said the enemy threat to the United States isn't just one group of terrorists such as Al-Qaeda, for example, but the ideology that drives people "to violent extremism," including the two brothers who killed three and maimed scores of others by placing others near the finish line at the Boston Marathon on April 15.  "We killed Bin Laden," Lieberman told CNSNews.com on Thursday during a recess of the House Homeland Security Committee hearing where he testified on the Boston attack.  "The core leadership of Al-Qaeda is on the run, but this ideology of violent Islamic extremism is spreading.  And it's beginning to infect people here in this country who are carrying it out--trying to carry out terrorist attacks." 

Lieberman also summarized what House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Tx) said the other day and that is "You can't defeat an enemy unless you call it by its name.  There are terrorists other than those who are motivated by violent Islamic extremism." 

It is true there are terrorists that aren't Muslims.  However, the biggest problem the U.S. and the world has had in the last few decades has revolved around Islamic terrorism.  What doesn't make sense is why does the U.S. allow Middle Easterners to come into our country when the U.S. was attacked by those kind of people on 9/11?  It doesn't make sense.  As long as our borders are open Islamic terrorists can sneak into our country.  Therefore, we can't defeat Islamic terrorism because we will always have that threat coming into our country unless our elected elite start following the laws on the books concerning illegal immigration.

House Homeland Security Chair: ‘You Cannot Defeat an Enemy You Refuse to Acknowledge’

House Homeland Security Chair: ‘You Cannot Defeat an Enemy You Refuse to Acknowledge’ | CNS News

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX)

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), said in his opening statement at a House Homeland Security hearing on the Boston Marathon terrorist attack "The radical jihad movement is alive and well" and warned that "you cannot defeat an enemy that you refuse to acknowledge."  The Homeland Security Chairman is exactly right.  The truth is the Obama administration isn't fighting the war against jihadism.  Instead, the government is in bed with the Middle East.  That's been that way within the last few decades irregardless who was president of the United States.  The way the Pentagon has prosecuted the wars against Iraq and Afghanistan tells me they aren't serious about winning a war.  Within the last few decades state officials such as former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger or former presidents George H.W. Bush or George W. Bush have made deals with the Arab states.  The last two administrations have welcome Middle Easterners to come into our country despite the fact it was radical jihadists who attacked both World Trade Centers and the Pentagon on 9/11.  You can't trust any of our politicians. 

If our elected elite were serious about going after Islamic terrorists, they would've already had the mission accomplished.  Instead they pacify them.  They've went after the liberties of U.S. citizens instead of closing our borders and stopping Middle Easterners from migrating to this country in the wake of 9/11.

Biden: Amnesty for 11 Million Illegals Would Be ‘Granting Them the Dignity and Respect They Deserve’

Biden: Amnesty for 11 Million Illegals Would Be ‘Granting Them the Dignity and Respect They Deserve’ | CNS News

Vice-President Joe Biden

Vice-President Joe Biden, who was speaking at the Conference on the Americas yesterday in Washington D.C., told attendees from countries throughout the Western Hemisphere that every nation has to make "tough choices."  "In the United States, it means reforming our immigration system and 11 million undocumented men, women and children being able to come out of the shadows and be full participants in American life," Biden said.  "Imagine that--the dignity."  There's nothing dignified about that.  It's asinine for the U.S. to grant amnesty towards those that didn't go through the proper channels to obtain citizenship.  Why even bother having a Constitution or having laws about immigration if we're going to bypass them and allow reward those who are here illegally with citizenship?  That's a slap on the face towards those who immigrated to the United States legally.  It flies in the face of logic. 

I guarantee if amnesty is passed, the United States as we know it will be forever gone.  It will be due to our elected elite allowing it to happen.  Our elected elite are part of this globalist scam to erase America's borders and merge the U.S. into a one-world government.

Rep. Pallone: The Tea Party Focus on Deficit Reduction is 'Very Wrong'

Rep. Pallone: The Tea Party Focus on Deficit Reduction is 'Very Wrong' | CNS News

Rep. Frank Malone (D-NJ)

Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) told students at Rider University that conservatives are wrong to make deficit reduction a priority.  Speaking at the university's Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics on April 3, Pallone said the "right wing" is wrong.  He said the right wing, whom he was referencing the Tea Party, has made deficit reduction the main priority--the main economic priority.  He said he didn't think it should be.  Pallone says he believes in economic growth and that the only way to get out of the recession---is to have policies in Washington that create growth and therefore create jobs which therefore should eliminate the problems we have with Social Security Trust Funds and Medicare Trust Funds. 

The truth is he's very wrong when he says that deficit reduction shouldn't be a top priority.  It should be.  He says he believes in creating policies that will encourage economic growth.  Does he believe in eliminating the present tax code and create a simpler tax code which will encourage businesses to invest more of their money in growing their business and hiring new workers?  Where does Pallone stand when it comes to Dodd-Frank and Obamacare?  Does he think Obamacare will help or hurt business?  The best policy for the government is to stay out of the affairs of the private sector as much as possible and allow the free market to work like it's supposed to.

Poll: Majority of Americans Not Concerned About Sequestration

Poll: Majority of Americans Not Concerned About Sequestration | CNS News

President Obama

A new Gallup poll states that a majority of Americans (52%) aren't concerned aren't concerned about the sequester "cuts" and at least 17% say they think they are a good thing.  That's despite the fact that President Obama made the claim that across-the-board sequester budget cuts are damaging our country.  The truth of the matter is there aren't any real cuts being made.  If anything, the cuts the President is speaking of is a decrease in the rate of spending, but they aren't real budget cuts.  The government still continues spending frivolously on pet projects for certain Representatives and Senators.  There aren't any legitimate cuts being made.  It's just lies coming out from the Obama propaganda machine.
