Lois Lerner Targeted Conservatives and Took the 5th

Are you ready for the IRS to grow in size? It will, because it is the governmental agency tasked with enforcing the Obamacare tax. Can you wait? Members of the self-described “most transparent administration in history,” top IRS leaders took the 5th amendment when testifying before Congress. No, it doesn’t say they’re guilty, but does it do anything for President Obama’s claims of leading an honest administration?

Okay, perhaps four, but not 292.

The defenders of President Obama said that the Bush Administration’s IRS targeted liberal groups (so zeroing in on Tea Party groups is okay). Perhaps, but they didn’t go after liberal groups by the hundreds as the IRS did under the Obama administration. They didn’t do it to weaken their opponents in order to win an election.

We don’t remember Senator Joe McCarthy, we’ve learned nothing from history.

Remember Senator Joe McCarthy (R-WI)? He’s the one who accused everyone on the left of being a Communist during the early 1950’s. He terrorized liberals during that time, and caused a horrific fear - for many - of being prosecuted for associating with anyone who thought liberal thoughts - to continue well into the 1990’s. He didn’t understand that America would experience a severe backlash from the left during all of the following years. He kept accusing until he insinuated that Republican President Eisenhower was a Communist. That’s when his reign of terror ended. - These guys don’t remember? After McCarthyism, how could they possibly support a policy to target conservative groups? How did they think it would make conservatives – and/or members of the Tea Party feel? What might conservative administrations do in the future? Most importantly, is it right to target anyone? Of course not.

Not only did the IRS target Tea Party groups, but they wasted plenty of taxpayer dollars (estimated at $60,000) by producing several videos. One parodied Star Trek, and another showed team-building exercises, including line-dancing. Recall that they spent over $50 million on conferences, some held in Las Vegas. Congressman Trey Gowdy called them, “maliciously self-indulgent,” as many IRS employees stayed in luxury hotel suites.

Should this agency, this corrupt IRS, run Obamacare? Will they be fair, or target conservatives when making health decisions, specifically, who should get an operation, and who should not? Should this wasteful agency hire 60,000 more workers? How much more of our taxpayer dollars will they waste?
