An IRS Bombshell Explodes

Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, will invoke the 5th Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups.

(Can you do that when the IRS audits you? Her lawyer wants the committee to waive her appearance, saying it would only serve to "embarrass her." Ah, go ahead and embarrass her.)

This Will Improve Education

Texas drops "anti-American" curriculum after parents complain.

Good, we get enough anti-American crap from colleges. Don't need high schools spreading it too.

At Least It Didn't Target Babies

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) demanded information about conservative groups’ college-aged interns, prompting outrage from one of the country’s top conservative activist organizations and leading one former intern to wonder whether his family’s pizza parlor would be endangered.

A Vomitous Human Being

Lizz Winstead, a co-creator of the Comedy Central's The Daily Show, tweeted how amusing it was that the Oklahoma tornado was targeting conservatives. Joe Cocha, of Mediaite, does the takedown.

But ideology, hate and self-absorption all combined can be blinding. Liberal, conservative… doesn’t matter. If the opportunity is there to take a shot at what is seen as the opposition, little things like tornadoes shouldn’t get in the way.

First, They Came For Fox News....

...other news organizations better take notice.

The administration seizure of phone records from the AP and the tracking of Fox reporter James Rosen shows the real agenda of the White House: control the news.

Wasn't Steve Jobs A Big Obama Supporter

Senate investigators say Apple sheltered $44 billion from taxes. Apple denies the charge.

(No one believes in overtaxation - except leftists - but if true this is ridiculous. Apple owes the U.S. some back taxes.(

Most Americans Are Correct Too...

A majority of Americans believe Obana's IRS targeting of conservatives was deliberate and not an administrative mistake.

There’s still a diehard 20 percent of Obama Koolaid slurpers who think have a banana republic dictator in office is just awesome. Of course they wouldn’t be thinking that if they were the targets.

A Moral Breakdown?

The New York Times' David Brooks: Conservatives sometimes argue that if we could just reduce government to the size it was back in, say, the 1950s, then America would be vibrant and free again. But the underlying sociology and moral culture is just not there anymore. Government could be smaller when the social fabric was more tightly knit, but small government will have different and more cataclysmic effects today when it is not.

Appalling and Repugnant

Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse uses Oklahoma tornado as an excuse to make an anti-GOP rant on the house floor.

(When there are dozens of dead on the ground in Oklahoma, that is no time to make a cheap political point. Global warming stopped fifteen years ago. The temper tantrum on the Senate floor by Whitehouse was simply ghoulish.)

Gays Sue CO Christian Baker

These types of suits are becoming more routine.

A Christian baker is facing discrimination charges before the Colorado Civil Rights Commission for declining to bake a wedding cake for two homosexual men.

(If Obama gets to pick another Supreme Court Justice, chances are a lot of Christian businesses will go out of business. The liberal on the court will rule for the gays, regardless of the First Amendment.)
