[NATIONALREVIEW] The Internal Revenue Service has replaced the agency's director of Rulings and Agreements, Holly Paz, who served in that position while her division singled out conesrvative groups for inappropriate scrutiny.
In an internal memo, according to an IRS source, the agency named a new official, Karen Schiller, to the position. Cincinnati's Fox19 confirms that report.
According to the House Oversight Committee, Paz was involved in an internal IRS investigation that in May 2012 concluded that the agency had been discriminating against conservative groups. That was a year before a Treasury Department inspector General's report reached the same conclusion, but Paz and others at the IRS failed to inform Congress of the findings of the internal investigation. During the inspector general's own investigation, Paz, who National Review Online revealed is a donor to Barack Obama We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us... , sat in on the vast majority of the interviews conducted by the inspector general's team. House Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa harshly criticized inspector general J. Russell for allowing that, saying it was "inappropriate" to include anybody in the agency in the interviews who could have participated in the targeting of conservative groups.

People are quietly taking their leave, moving onward our upward; General Petreaus, Secretary of State Hildebeast, National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, UN Ambassador Susan Rice, counterterrorism advisor John Brennan, numerous IRS functionaries.
Just tidying up the cabin a bit. It will be a long voyage you know.

Less than a week after the release of NSA collection efforts, the Obama administration is already pressing an indictment against the leaker. Over a year since IRS personnel leaked information to political groups and not even a grand jury in empaneled. Some animals are more equal than others.
He's probably gonna be elected, so we might as well have fun with the headlines. [BREITBART] On Saturday, former Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY), who is currently running for mayor of New York City, blasted the New York Police Department's stop-and-frisk policy while at civil rights hustler Al Sharpton ...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor... 's offices in Harlem.
He said that stop-and-frisk could be used to condone racism. Weiner said that his 17-month-old son would have a "virtually zero" chance at being stopped and frisked, then added that he could get in trouble: "Being my son, I have a feeling he might."

Of course, once Mayor Wiener (sic) takes office, his attitude might change - just as Obama's did when he took office and had to face some hard realities.

[CNSNEWS] Earlier this year, in an interview with TV One, Rep. Comrade Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) praised President Barack Obama I am not a dictator!... for putting together a campaign database that "will have information about everything on every individual."
"And that database will have information about everything on every individual in ways that it's never been done before," Waters told "Washington Watch" host Roland, referring to Obama's "Organizing for America," which was changed from a campaign organization to a 501(c)(4) called Organizing for Action.
Martin had asked her about Obama's agenda in his last term.
"The inauguration represented the beginning of his second term, but it also represented the countdown to the end of his presidency. And the reality is, like anything else, you better get what you can while he's there because, look, come 2016, that's it," Martin said.
"I don't know, and I think some people are missing something here," Waters said.
"The president has put in place an organization that contains a kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life," she added. "That's going to be very, very powerful."
Martin asked if Waters if she was referring to "Organizing for America."
"That's right, that's right," Waters said. "And that database will have information about everything on every individual in ways that it's never been done before."

I heard that interview months ago and was trying to find it yesterday. All of this data compilation has nothing to do with terrorism and is to be used by the Democratic party, pulled from the NSA, paid for by taxpayers. Illegal as hell.

Rep. Waters: Obama Campaign Database = all Federal databases.
"The inauguration represented the beginning of his second term, but it also represented the countdown to the end of his presidency. And the reality is, like anything else, you better get what you can while he's there because, look, come 2016, that's it," Martin said.
"that's it" means no more presidency in contemporary context. Might keep the name, but the historical office will be transcended to a more traditional El Presidente for Life.

Data from Prism is being funneled to OfA? It certainly sounds like that's what she's suggesting. That is mind-blowing, if true. Is there a way that could be verified?
[FREEBEACON] JAY CARNEY: The president's record on transparency is broad and significant. I think the president's record on making the kinds changes that he promised he would make to the ways that we pursue our fight against al-Qaeda, our fight against terrorists and extremists, he has lived up to. I think that if you look at the distinction between how that fight was engaged in the previous administration and how it is engaged now you will find that he has lived up to those promises, and has kept those promises.

[CNSNEWS] "I know that there are a few Republicans here in the audience," Obama said Friday at a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign in Palo Alto, Ca. "If you talk to us, it turns out we're pretty common-sense folks.
"We don't think government can do everything," he said. "We don't think that top-down solutions are the right way to go. We believe in the free market. We believe in a light touch when it comes to regulations."
"We don't want to tax all businesses out of business," Obama said. "But we do think that there's a role to play for government."

Of course not, that dries up the money teat, they only want to bleed them white.
THEN dry them up, bankrupt them and suck off the rest, they don't give a damn about survival or profit.

Of course he doesn't. Some will be regulated out of business.
#5
Currently, the regulatory burden on business in terms of time and money is rising at a rate of 7% per year. That means that unless abated or rolled back the costs will double in ten years.
It also means that in the six years since the Dems took over Congress in 2007 those costs have risen 50%.
Outside of a few extremely wealthy people who made their millions/billions by being at the right place at the right time in the private sector, the vast bulk of the left is composed of public employees and welfare recipients. Niether of these groups have a clue about how deadly an onerous hyperregulatory environment is to a growing small business engaged in something truly productive that doesn't fit into the right-place, right-time, get-rich-quick program (think Schmidt at Google, or Corzine or others in the financial skimming industry).

Obama is correct in his statement. What he is suggesting is do not tax Google, GE or Solyndra but do tax Altria, Exxon and any company with the word Coal in it's annual report out of business.

The inner cities of America have become the new Indian Reservations of old.
The inhabitants of the inner cities today find themselves facing the same plight suffered by the Native American people for many generations. But unlike the proud Native Americans who fought and died, but lost the wars they fought for their freedom, the inhabitants of the inner city reservations have gone down with little more than a whimper. Not only have they NOT fought against it, but they have embraced and even demanded the implementations of the same ignorant government policies that have impoverished the Native American Indian People since the first day they were forced onto the reservations.
The multitudes eaking out their daily survival in their urban reservations stand in awed rapture, cowed by the pretty words sung out by the entity's puppet behind the podium but endure in silence what they always knew would be more broken promises.
There was a time when I believed that Obama's economic policies were simply a result of his complete ignorance of sound business or proven economic principles. And I have not changed my mind about that.
But by now it should be obvious that the caustic business environment which not only inhibits recovery but strangles our abiliy to compete globally, could only have been orchistrated by someone far more astute than Obama will ever be. The ability to expose and defeat that entity evaporates precipitously with each new regulation.
The political leaders on the right feign indignity as they convene congressional investigations knowing from the outset that they have neither the fortitude nor the tenacity to persevere to the end or actually expose or hold to account those who have seized and abused the power to contol and impede our businesses and even invade the most personal aspecets of our own lives.
The liberal left mills about in sheep like apathy waiting their turn to be sheared by their government appointed shepherd. While those who have not yet been consigned to their reservation go about their politically correct little lives, abandoning their social media devices only long enough to shrilly castigate and even threaten violece toward anyone with spirit enough to question their socialistically engineered status quo. All the while they whine that someone else has done nothing to delay the inevitable collapse of what everyone knows has become our economic house of cards.
Officials in European capitals denounced the practice of secretly gathering digital information on Europeans as unacceptable.
Officials in European capitals demanded immediate answers from their US counterparts and denounced the practice of secretly gathering digital information on Europeans as unacceptable, illegal and a serious violation of basic rights. The NSA, meanwhile, asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation and said that it was assessing the damage caused by the disclosures. Many people around the world use US IT email, facebook, skype. Do not put it past Obama to seek not only the ability pull data out of the data mine on any American, but also anyone around the world that uses the US Internet server infrastructure. No secret is a secret forever, and the damage assessment and fallout of this stunt has only begun.

That was part of the Bush administration's argument that they could intercept without warrant foreign traffic transiting US based servers. Though the intent of that administration was to target specific instances, not 'hoover' everything that flowed.

#3 Take back his Peace Prize, then I'll believe you.
How about taking back his presidency--that is, using the "I" word? This would really fulfill the promise of hope and change. I know, I know it is wishful thinking since the Senate will never go along with it and there seems to be a taboo against doing such things.

I see where the ACLU is suing over this. Sen. Paul is trying to bring about a class action suit. These will weave there way through the courts. I don't have confidence in SCOTUS to do what is right.
#13
I've got to admit that, up until the IRS scandal, I would not have had a problem with the NSA collecting phone call metadata. Looking to see who has called a phone number that turns out to be a jihadi number is fine.
However, after the IRS scandal, I am concerned that "somebody" might be interested in who called the RNC donation line, or who talked to the head of the local Tea Party, or who called a Catholic Church, or whatever.

The states ought to convict anyone who votes for this of treason against their states. There ARE treason statutes in most state laws so yes, you can commit treason against a state.
Course, Texas could just convict them all and sic the Rangers on them.

IIRC it was Rand Paul whom argued that
"America's sovereignty is at stake".
It took Amer's $17.1Trilyuhn-n-climbing Debt Burden, the concepts of OWG-NWO = Space Govt-Order, Global Fed "Unions", 2015 or post-2015 NAU, Trans-Atlantic,+ Trans-Pacific Partnerships + "borderless", "anti-sovereign" Amerika to seemingly get the Congress to finally take [some] action on the Border issues.
In reality its about getting mostly pro-DemoLeft illegal immigrants to vote Dem in the 2014 + espec the 2016 Elex, WHILE SIMUL "PASSING THE BUCK" PER THE DEBT BURDEN TO HIGHER SSSSSSHHHHHH ...CCCCCCCC S-O-C-I-A-L-I-S-T OWG + GLOBAL FED "UNIONS", + RELATED.
One again, despite recognizing that America = Amerika will be made to give up sovereign power-n-authority to the OWG + GFU in yet UNKNOWN LEVELS OR MAGNITUDE, POTEN FUNDAMENTALLY ALTERING EVERY AMERICAN'S WAY-OF-LIFE + FREEDOMS, THEY'RE STILL COMMITTING THE AMER PEOPLE + GOVT TO SAME + PREFERABLY WIDOUT HAVING TO ASKE THE VOTERS IFF THEY WANT IT.
You know - DemoLefty beloved = demanded "Will of the People", etc. which they ignore + bypass + cricumvent every time.
