Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen a litany of the groups that have been targeted by the IRS simply because they are opposed to:
- Obama’s policies and Presidency
- a large governmental bureaucracy that continues to insert itself into more and more simply by dint of regulation (in addition to “enabling” legislation)
The entrenched bureaucracy, with a heavy list to Left / Democrat ideology, has proven Conservatives right. They have now admitted to it, kinda non-apologized apologized for it, and now realize, with the taking of the Fifth Amendment today, with criminal intent (possibly). But at least there was a reason – these Government workers believed that they were defending the ramparts of their castle against the barbarians that just can’t get it through their Neaderthalic heads that we all NEED Government – the more the better for all. And make no mistake, this is a on-going, almost hot, war going between we who believe that least government is best government so as to allow for the greatest amount of personal Liberty and those that believe Government knows best for us all in how to order Society efficiently for safety and security.
They decided to “harass” those that differed from them politically – to support Obama and to support themselves. Their version of political war (with all due respect to von Clausewitz). But to pick on those who merely wish to adopt little babies and children; these are considered to “political battlefield combatants by Progressives?
As we get word that the IRS has harassed a number of pro-life groups, including at least one alleged demand that a pro-life group not picket Planned Parenthood, check out this statistic: In 2012, the IRS requested additional information from 90 percent of returns claiming the adoption tax credit and went on to actually audit 69 percent.
