Outlaw...... one who functions out side the law.

Outside the law is without our Constitution.

If there is no law protecting the people, there is no law protecting the tyrannical despots

Until they have solid majorities. We need the Senate and as many GOPs as possible with as many of those being conservatives as possible.

Is Dr. Carson a resident of Maryland? He should publicly call out his senators and representatives, and move the heck out of Maryland.

Until now... Dr. Carson has shied away from tying the IRS actions to his criticism of Obama, but now he says Americans live “in a Gestapo age” even though they may not realize it.

First they came for those who spoke out publicly, and I did not speak out-- Because I didn't speak out publicly.

Then they came for the Tea Party members , and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a member of the Tea Party.

Then they came for Republicans, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Republican.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Yes, liberals - you're on the list...when it's your turn you'll wish you had stood with us...

Could you imagine the MSM if Obama was a white Republican and his last name was Nixon?

The MSM needs to understand - - at some point thugs in the Democrat party will come after them:

First they came for those who spoke out publicly like Ben Carson - his family and friends, and I did not speak out-- Because I wasn't a high profile person.

Then they came for Tea Party members , and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a member of the Tea Party.

Then they came for Republicans, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Republican.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Yes, liberals - you're on the list...when it's your turn you'll wish you had stood with us... Yep, tat means YOU New York Times, Washington Post and LA Times boys... you're on the lists.

Here's the secret.

The IRS WANTS this story spread wide and far.

They don't have enough agents to intimidate all of us so they hit on high profile people like Ben Carson as a way to keep the rest of us in line.

A former IRS agent told me this years ago - they LIKE the stories that make them look ‘thuggy’. Of course that was back in the day when the effort was merely to increase collection... Today it's to bully citizens who are NOT liberal. Today it's a boot grinding into the face of a human.

I saw him on O’Reilly last night and was aghast that O’Reilly seems to think Nazi Germany could not happen here. Stunning!

Yeah. I saw that too and it was infuriating.

Ted Baxter in his usually condescending way dismissed Dr. Carson's experience and concerns out of hand as if he was just a bit paranoid and over-reacting by seeing boogeymen in the shadows. Baxter said there was "no way" this could become a pattern as we have a "strong system of checks and balances" in our government.

As is usual lately, O'Baxter is a fool 70% of the time and completely out of touch not only with "the folks" but with reality. He loves the sound of his own voice touting his lofty and often mistaken opinions. I notice even Dennis Miller is getting exasperated by his bloviating.

And no one, no one, will stop him - from doing whatever he wants. We may as well shred the Constitution now.

Next to be audited, Jonathon Turley, liberal constitutional scholar. He was on Meghan Kelly's show last night, he is speaking out about the danger of unchecked power from any of the 3 branches of gov.

He says America is entering an age of authoritarianism that resembles exactly what the founders did everything they could do eliminate.

We pushed back through our congressman. It had lingered for two years without resolution; it took one call, and a month later it was finished.

They claimed we owed $7,000 plus interest and penalty. It ended with nothing owed.

From reading articles, I know they audited a lot of individual Romney donors (which we are not), and of course, various individual conservatives like ourselves who donated to tea party groups or candidates. This current group at the top is the face of totalitarianism in our time, and will continue to use their powers to punish their opponents. They aren't simply the greater of two evils, they are a vastly improved, wholly unto their own, much greater evil than known before in this country.

Our Congress is NOT doing their job....Dr. Carson represents in politics what Conservatives stand for...so being a Conservative is having a target on your back just like Hitler's Germany was. Obama is hardly blind to the Thuggery of the IRS...he encourages it.

Contact your Congressperson and Senators and tell them to put a stop to this and support these Americans, they believe in America ;

John Boehner- Fax: (202) 225-5117
Senator Ted Cruz, R, TEXAS: 202-224-5922
Senator Mike Lee, R, Utah: 202-224-5922
Rand Paul fax: 202-228-6917

Obama is silencing Americans who don't follow him.....sound like familiar history? Well it is...around 42,000,000 died because good people did little to stop a despot and his cult...

Crime leads to impeachment.

Dr. Carson: "Americans live “in a Gestapo age” even though they may not realize it."

God bless Dr. Carson for speaking out on this criminal administration.

Ben Carson *Ping*
