"...America is no longer a constitutional republic.

The usurper entity that is now in control of this country is illegitimate, and needs to be overthrown so that our Constitutional government can be re-instated.

I saw Johnathan Turley on “The Kelly File,” last night. Meghan is becoming a major source of information for me. When people like Turley, who is not conservative, begin to issue warnings, people had better wise up.

...”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. “...

I wholeheartedly agree. We also have contributed to conservative candidates, as well as to our church and some charities. The whole package probably made us a target. Your $7000 was small compared to what they charged us with. Ours was also resolved with nothing owed. Our CPA told us he had 19 clients going through exactly the same thing last year.

Fascist left wingers are the real racists in America.

If a black man like Dr Carson, dares to stand up against them, they attack him with the IRS, their paid mediots and other fascist activities.

Remember, in 1974 one of the Articles of Impeachment against then-President Nixon was the threatened use of the Internal Revenue Service against Nixon’s political enemies. President Obama is now running the risk of Impeachment becuase this has become more than a threat—we now have documented evidence at least one IRS field office—and possibly more—engaged deliberately in harassing Conservative-leaning 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) groups.

Actually, this may just be good news. Bear with me, please.

Our LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist masters continue to abuse the American people in many ways.

These IRS abuses are but a small indicator of the corruption that pervades the Ophonybama administration, but should be a huge rallying point for We the People!

I, for one, hope that the criminal enterprise known as the Ophonybama administration keeps it up!

Seems like every day, Ophonybama and his LIEberal etc., etc. cronies do something to insult the US Constitution or We the People. Every day, we are closer to the tipping point.

So, Bring It On! LIEberals. Your days are numbered!

HST, there is a remedy to the immediate problem of the IRS!

The FairTax Act, HR 25 and S 122, would replace the income tax with a National Retail Sales Tax and abolish the IRS.

The issues are FReedom and privacy, and both issues are at risk so long as we have an income tax.

We will never be a FRee people until we abolish the income tax and the IRS!

One has to wonder how many federal employees the Ophonybama administration has corrupted?

SCOTUS has ruled that “No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it.” (Sixteenth American Jurisprudence, Second Edition, Section 177. (late 2nd Ed. Section 256))

Inasmuch as ALL federal employees swear to “preserve, protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic,” then one could rightly suggest that those federal employees who violate their oath are criminals and should be punished to the full extent of the law.

HST, though, since the entire Ophonybama administration is a criminal enterprise, it may take some other method to reign in their criminal behavior. They show absolutely no indication they are willing to change their ways and do what is right and proper for America.

Furthermore, the Republicans don’t seem to have the intestinal fortitude to engage in the kind of political warfare that would lead to a lawful solution to the problem!

It is obvious that the “Checks and Balances” built into the US Constitution are not strong enough to prevent or curtail the kind of criminal activity we see on a daily basis FRom the Ophonybama administration.

A new paradigm is needed, and I don’t know what it might be. Sure hope we can come up with some way to stop the runaway Ophonybama train!

We’ll need all hands on deck, that is fer shure, fer shure!

I was one that mentioned that a long time ago.

We absolutely need a <<<<< HUGE >>>> class action RICO lawsuit, led by some of the brightest constitutional lawyers of our day, with someone like Ben Carson as a spokesperson for the group. We need to hunt down and punish every IRS agent who has done this and send people to jail. No slap on the wrist, these people need to be made examples of. This needs to be huge, public takedown. We have got to fight back against this American gestapo. our entire political process and the security of being able to speak out is being undermined.
Maybe one lawsuit for companies, non-profits, etc, and one for individuals.
What could we do to get the ball rolling?

The people who have been affected should speak up - don’t let the “gestapo” tactics win. Every citizen should be offended by the IRS tactics. Your voices need to be heard!

And even if you have not been affected, you can contact your own congress member or you could contact any congress member to express your concerns. You could also contact Dave Camp - R- MI. A few others are mentioned on the thread.

In my posts 21 and 27 the article mentions these names as possible contacts.

http://www.wnd.com/2014/02/irs-smoking-gun-awakens-sleeping-giant/

Michele Bachmann

Kevin Snider of the Pacific Justice Institute

Tom Fitton, chief of Judicial Watch

In today’s new article:
In a stunning turn of events into the investigation into Internal Revenue Service targeting of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status, a member of Congress [Dave Camp] has revealed the IRS also mounted Big Brother-type surveillance over existing groups.

What ‘line’ must be crossed to say...that...THAT... is not my government.


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
 that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
 that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--
 
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
 deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --
 
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
 it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
 laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,
 as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
 
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
 and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,
 than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
 
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design
 to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
 and to provide new Guards for their future security.--
 
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;
 and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
 
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,
 all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
 
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

President Obama is now running the risk of Impeachment becuase this has become more than a threat

LOL. He most certainly is not. There is no risk, NO RISK to him at all. Don't you get it? He does what he does because he has a compliant, complicit Congress. There is not a single abuse he's committed that Republicans haven't been a part of. NONE. Every conservative -- every American -- needs to remember that.

I can do better than that:

http://www.fairtax.org/PDF/FairTax%20flat%20tax%20income%20comparison%20chart.pdf

A chart comparing FairTax, Flat Tax and Current Income Tax.

It is a great teaching/learning tool!
