IRS and Congressional Democrats Worked Together Against Conservatives
Katie Pavlich did the reporting on this over at Townhall. It is quite an impressive scoop.


“New IRS emails released by the House Oversight Committee show staff working for Democratic Ranking Member Elijah Cummings communicated with the IRS multiple times between 2012 and 2013 about voter fraud prevention group True the Vote. True the Vote was targeted by the IRS after applying for tax exempt status more than two years ago. Further, information shows the IRS and Cummings’ staff asked for nearly identical information from True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht about her organization, indicating coordination and improper sharing of confidential taxpayer information.” . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Regarding Jeb
Contrary to many conservatives, I hold Jeb Bush in high regard. That does not mean I agree with him on everything. I don’t. But he was an excellent governor. He has always been more intrinsically conservative than his brother. He relates well to the growing hispanic community in the nation. And he understands that education is a civil rights issue.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post

Kickstarter Declines To Fund @GosnellMovie… And Lies About It
On the heels of Brendan Eich being hounded out of the company he founded because his views on marriage comported with those which have been inherent in Western Civilization for three thousand years of recorded history, we have another example of the totalitarian, fascistic left using their power to suppress viewpoints they don’t agree with.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Time to Kiss RINO Vance McAllister Goodbye
Earlier this week, a video surfaced of Vance McAllister, a married father of five, engaging in intimate contact with one of his married female aides.  Sadly, this is par for the course in Washington, but it only took this Republican one month to join the culture.

Now, in McAllister’s case, indeed his voting record is also part of the equation.  He has never even pretended to be a conservative. From day one, he made it clear that Obamacare is here to stay and that he would oppose any efforts to defund it.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post


What Republicans Stand For
A group that I am a member of was asked an interesting question. What do we as Republicans/Libertarians/Conservatives believe in and actually stand FOR? Now, I obviously don’t speak for the entire right of center coalition that exists today. I am more socially conservative than some of my libertarian friends, I am more libertarian than some of my socially conservative friends, and I am more fiscally conservative than nearly all of our elected representatives. . . . please click here for the rest of the post
