IRS Targets Tea Party, Constitutional Groups With Extra Scrutiny

Obama IRS Troop Buildup SC IRS Targets Tea Party, Constitutional Groups With Extra Scrutiny

Imagine that the IRS decided to begin investigating certain groups who were “tea party” or “patriot” groups? Imagine the outcry that would ensue. Lots of anger being thrown at the IRS. Lots of angry phone calls. Lots of angry people voicing their opinions all over. Now, lets come to reality. In reality, the IRS has investigated “tea party” and “patriot” groups. And it’s not like it’s just being going on for the past few months; it’s been going on for years.

So, what’s the biggest significance of that? Oh, nothing much. Maybe just the fact that it’s not just at a local office and that it’s pretty much been happening through the entire IRS since 2010. And how about the fact that the Obama Administration has to have known about this at one point? It’s his administration. He should know what’s happening within it.

So, why does this matter at all? It’s just some investigating into group expenses. Well, I tell you why. If we just wave this by and give the IRS a pass, then this will allow them to do this whenever they want, to whoever they want, for any reason. It sets a precedent that allows them to intrude more into people’s finances. The reason why this angers people on both sides of the spectrum is that it can now happen to anyone. What says it can’t happen to leftist groups when a Republican is President? Nothing guarantees they’re safe against the IRS then. Nothing.

In short, the IRS needs to be reigned in before this continues on. The IRS is off their leash, and the effects are starting to get on people’s nerves. Obama should have known what they were doing, and claiming their innocence in the matter is not helping them. If Obama didn’t know what was going on in the IRS, then what else is happening in the government that he does not know about?

NYC Considering Allowing Foreign Nationals To Vote

I Voted SC NYC Considering Allowing Foreign Nationals To Vote

As if NYC wasn’t already a liberal “paradise”, a new city bill is coming into the light. This would allow foreign nationals to vote in city elections. The legislation has 34 sponsors and shall be debated among City Council soon. The thing is, though, why should people who aren’t even citizens be able to vote in US elections? They’re not citizens of the US! They’re here on other terms (like for schooling for example).

Quoting the legislation text: “A ‘municipal voter’ shall mean a person who is not a United States citizen, but is lawfully present in the United States”. Wait a minute; a “person who is not a United States citizen” should be allowed to vote in US elections? I thought only people who were citizens of their own countries were allowed to vote in their own elections. Perhaps I should study up on globalism. This is what I get out of it: allowing people who aren’t even citizens to vote is ridiculous. Why don’t we just let kids vote? Why don’t we just lower the voter minimum age requirement? I get asked this every time I go to the DMV. I might as well just sign up. The liberals will let me vote out of “tolerance”, seeing as how it’s important to let dead people, animals, and made-up people vote. As long as it’s for them, they don’t care.

People who are not citizens should only be able to vote in one place’s elections. Where? Their own countries. Why? Because that’s where they live. Screwing over our system that’s been poisoned by the liberals in their quest to allow voter fraud is making me ticked off even more. I have a feeling I’ll never get to vote because they’ll have decided it hurts too many people’s (aka their) feelings, or when they want their reps to stay in for good. Allowing non-citizens, illegals, and anyone else who isn’t a citizen (or even a living person) to vote is ridiculous and shows how far one will truly go to get elected. Liberals have screwed us all over by allowing these people to come in and vote, then they complain that the system needs to be reformed and that voter fraud should be stamped out. It’s hypocritical because they’re the ones who allow and push for this kind of stuff.

If you wish to read the bill, go here. It’s downloadable as a PDF.

Maryland Lawmakers Ram Through New Gun Control Legistlation

Gun Control SC Maryland Lawmakers Ram Through New Gun Control Legistlation

Oh Democrats, when will you stop being so stupid? When taking away people’s guns, do you truly believe criminals will just turn theirs in? Please tell me you’re not all as dumb as Dianne Fienstien. Please, tell me you’ve matured. Looking at the current state of things, I’ll take that as a no.

So, while Christians all around the country were celebrating the day that Jesus died for our sins, Maryland Democrats rammed through new Gun Control. Now, this new round of Gun Control is quite interesting if you ask me. If you live in MD, and your gun is stolen from your house, and the criminal who has it does something with it, and the Police get hold of it, you get the blame. Not the criminal, you: the citizen who had his/her privacy violated by the criminal. Recently have your AR-15 stolen at your house outside of Annapolis? Well, you’d better pray that criminal doesn’t go on a shooting spree, or he’ll be taking you with him to the slammer.

Are you not yet convinced that Democrats don’t care about your liberties and freedoms? Then here’s a video via Breitbart where their correspondents recently talked to Delegate Mike Smigiel (R-MD) on his own Amendment to try and change the blame for the use of a stolen firearm.

N0w lets reflect on that, shall we. The Amendment passed, then (with some string pulling and bullying) 2 Democrats were converted to the other side, opposing the amendment to blame the criminal instead of the firearm’s real owner. It’s a sad day when the people sent to State and National capitals do a 180 on the things they “promised” to do during the campaigns. But they’ll be supported by the Mainstream Media fully. They’ll be supported by Hollywood. They’ll be supported by other big leftists; and the people they work for in the end will just be pushed aside.

Now, after heading to the Delegates’ website and browsing around, I noticed one commenter, who seemed quite angry with this new round of Gun Control.

March 27, 2013 at 10:03 am

Here is some common sense. How about have a person that knows what a Firearm is and what it’s function is write legislation. I find it quite ridiculous that a person who has never worked a day in his life is writing ridiculous legislation, to impose on The Law Abiding Citizen’s of Maryland. I’d like to see someone put forth an amendment that charges any Delegate or Senator with Treason if they vote in favor of SB 281.

There is truth in this post. Many politicians these days are career politicians. Many also have never fired or even held any firearm of any kind. It’d explain why a California official once said you could be shot by an unloaded weapon (crazy, right?). This post shows the anger held by the people who actually care about their freedoms and wish that the government would stop trying to take them away. These are the people who are abused by government overstep. People have had it with these oversteps, which is why the Tea Party gained lots of momentum.

Let me remind you all that Gun Control only affects the law abiding citizen, not the criminal. The criminal will never follow the laws. That’s why they’re criminals. They don’t obey laws. Why Democrats expect them to with Gun Control is beyond my knowledge. All I shall simply say is that they really should be let down with the compliance from the criminal community. Maybe one day the little light bulb in their head will turn on, and they’ll get it; but until then, everyone’s gun rights shall be infringed on (even though the 2nd Amendment says they “shall not be infringed.”)

Elizabeth Warren Claims Success Of America Is Due To Government Regulation

Elizabeth Warren SC Elizabeth Warren Claims Success Of America Is Due To Government Regulation

Washington, D.C. is filled with stupid people. From the people we elect to the people who are there trying to get something from the people we elect. But I have to give this Stupidest Politician Award to Elizabeth Warren. Yes, I gave it to the supposed part Native American for a good reason. Earlier this fair weekend, she said “The government not only has a right to regulate the American people, but regulation is really the key to the country’s success,”. Just to recap, she means that when the government releases more regulations, more people become successful.

Now we examine that. When do businesses benefit from more government regulation? You tell me, cause I’ve yet to hear of such. Only the people that push for these kind of regulations come up with it. When government regulators come up with more and more regulations, your freedoms and liberties are shrunk. Not expanded. If you truly think that some government regulation will not restrict your freedoms in any way, then you honestly have never paid attention to reality. Think about this; a 13 year old has his little hot dog stand shut down due to a zoning violation. In Santa Monica, your not even allowed to smoke in your apartment or condo. And of course, if you or a child you know runs a small little lemonade stand, you could be shut done for not having the correct permits. What’s wrong with a small little lemonade stand? What’s wrong with a kid wanting to help those exhausted warm people walking down the street on a hot summer day? You tell me, because once again, I still find no wrong.

Please, tell me why American Business owners owe their success to the government, which forces them to buy certain things or build stuff via a certain process, which costs them more money. Government regulations make it harder to innovate, to make things easier to use, to modernize, and to grow. You can’t make a product faster when the government tells you you have to build this or that the way they say, and you can’t change any part of it. Government regulations harm people. They harm businesses, and they only make it harder to improve the economy which isn’t going to get better with more regulations.

NH Representative Calls For Limits On Conservatives’ Rights

new hampshire42619 NH Representative Calls For Limits On Conservatives Rights

Conservatives and Libertarians alike know that they are put down time and time again (occasionally by each other; but soon, we may have a bigger threat to deal with.) To quote Cynthia Chase (D-NH) in the Union Leader newspaper: “In the opinion of this Democrat, Free Staters are the single biggest threat the state is facing today.” She continued, saying that “One way is to pass measures that will restrict the ‘freedoms’ that they think they will find here. Another is to shine the bright light of publicity on who they are and why they are coming.” Now, she was referring to the developing Libertarian Free State Project, which is trying to get people to move to New Hampshire.

To say that the people who believe that Government should be small, that spending should be cut, and that people should be finding jobs (so they can get off Entitlement Programs) should have their freedoms limited is ludicrous. The Constitution of the United States guarantees FREE SPEECH (see Article I, Section I), basically saying that people can say what they want, think what they want, and not be infringed upon. What she proposes, though, goes against the Constitution itself. What she calls for, the censorship of Conservative and Libertarian values and arguments, moves to defy one of the freedoms the Founding Fathers and so many others fought and died to attain and defend. Many people have made the ultimate sacrifice over many years to keep these freedoms alive, and she basically wants to take what they have done and throw it in the trash. She wants to take the freedoms given to us Conservatives and Libertarians, shred them up, and say “you can’t do that”.

America has come very far since the days when the British were in control. We’ve revolted, had a revolution, and gained our Independence. We’ve already been through one Civil War, and we as a nation weren’t even 100 years old. We’ve been through two World Wars, both excruciatingly painful; but we pulled through. We’ve been through countless other wars since. All through those, we have fought to keep our rights, our liberty, and our freedom. Men and women have worked so hard and died to make sure we at home can keep these rights. It would be sad to see those rights taken away not by invasion, but by our own people. By our own neighbors, by anyone. Maybe even a family member. These rights were won so we could all be free.

When one person or group of people believes that they should be taken away for a certain few, or even a certain majority, trouble is only so far in the distance. People constantly say that they will not stand for their government telling them what to do, how to think, what to say, and what they can or can’t have. I for one am one of those people. I will not allow my rights, which are guaranteed by the Constitution, to be limited. “I will not sit by peacefully and watch” is what many people say, and I for one agree with them and see their point. Cynthia Chase’s comments have angered many, for I myself was one of the many. I have seen what some say. They are displeased and disgusted that just because they believe in Conservatism or Libertarianism, they must have their rights limited. We are not pleased and shall not stand for this at all.
