USBC News Wire- Yet a another major scandal is rocking the already extraordinarily unpopular Obama administration, this time the controversy involves abuses by the IRS in targeting US citizens based on their political views.
It appears that agents used keywords to target groups in opposition to the governing Democratic administration. Remarkably, the agents found it acceptable to single out patriots for unprecedented behavior. The agents singled out their fellow citizens by using keywords such as “patriot” or “tea party” (itself a reference to the earliest American patriots) to identify groups that object to the policies of the current administration. Lois Lerner, senior Internal Revenue Service official, was unable to provide even a single example of similar targeting, harassment or intimidation of leftists organizations...

You point out how bad it really is. That we could even realistically consider this to be the feint and expect that it’s likely from these jerks is tragic for the US...
Aren’t you glad they’ll soon be managing your health care?
From this point forward, it’s ALL about Hillary
Not only will they "manage" your health and death, but the IRS will have by law full access to your bank accounts to take whatever money they deem necessary and proper to manage your "treatment".
You know just where this is headed...
“Conservatives are the only people who respect the civility of the law ,of our one great country, anymore- so we are the only ones paying taxes.”
The United States has the highest lawyers per capita yet has become a lawless society. Attorneys today use the legal system to gain advantage for the clients over other citizens or to keep their clients from paying the price for breaking the law.
Meanwhile Congress and state legislatures continue to pass thousands of new laws per year, government bureaucrats issue tens of thousands of new regulations, and courts issue interpretations of existing laws which essentially change the meaning from what was intended when they were passed. Add to that elected officials who arbitrarily decide which laws they will and will not pass and you have a broken legal system.
Underlying this is the collapse of morals. We no longer have a culture, with its roots in a Christian religion, which defines a clear set of moral and ethical standards by which to live. Instead the secular humanists have created a world in which each man and woman defines his/her own morality. Without a shared system of ethics can values, can any system of laws have integrity?
During the depths of the depression my grandfather, a struggling small business person, entered into agreements with his customers and suppliers based on handshakes. Even though they were poor and struggling, the simple country people of that time were virtuous. A man’s word was his bond. To use the legal system to escape contracts and avoid having to live up to agreements was unheard of.
Is there anyone today you would trust, other than your spouse, to make an agreement on a handshake. Bankers, politicians, attorneys, Fortune 500 CEO’s, the local repairman, priests, educators, doctors, presidents, United Way directors and other esteemed citizens of today’s national and local society are everyday in the news for lying, cheating, stealing and worse. Even when caught the elites of society make a public apology and then go back to their evil business. Are they any better than the horse thieves of 100 years ago who were taken to the town square after a speedy trial and strung up publicly on a tree as an example for young and old alike?
When there are no consequences people will ignore the law.
