The IRS harassment was the warning... Connors’ firing was the consequence.

He probably has been given another warning about awful things that would happen to his family if he continues to speak out.

You mean the reason John Roberts voted against 99% of his rulings to let ObamaCare stand as a tax?

This sounds like the sort of thing that happens in a Banana Republic.
Wait, wait wait, WE are now a banana Republic. So I guess this is OK now.

Yep!

And not only let it stand as a "tax" but painstakingly contorted the language of it to get it across what he wanted us to believe was the legal threshold for a "tax." Truly one of the most craven and far-reaching examples of judicial activism in memory. Untold millions of people will suffer harshly because of Roberts. Yeah... I wouldn't doubt at all, a visit or call from IRS was the catalyst for it. But think of all the cocktail party invites he's gotten since then... he's one of the accepted class now!

If the IRS had been doing this to a left wing group, I guarantee you there would be IRS buildings exploding and burning all around the country. Not that I would shed a tear.

However, they know fully well we conservatives will do everything possible to stay within the law.

The problem is they keep moving the legal goal posts as the constitution is no longer keeping them in check.

Eventually even those of us on the right will come to the Thomas Jefferson moment.

Now the real question becomes: what happens when the sole military and economic superpower in the world becomes a banana republic?

Just hang in there and watch. It is happening before our eyes as we speak.

I say its time to declare some asymmetrical warfare against the IRS.

Oh and then after lunch we get back to Benghazi.
