This week saw a flurry of activity on a three-month-old scandal. A Democrat asks for a recount in search of victory after losing to four Republicans for seats in the State Legislature. The hand recount results in that democrat losing 100 more votes and every Republican gaining 300. Nothing to see here, some say. Not so fast.

Cheaters in the Dugout
In the past, baseball scandals and cheaters were individuals. In recent memory, it involved Performance Enhancing Drugs. At least 65 players have been suspended since 2005. But a major cheating scandal has hit professional baseball and it’s very close to home.
Biden Ukraine Scandal Update: Joe Tells Everyone to “Get Off His Lawn”
Obama famously said nobody messes with Joe. Where is Obama now that people are messing with Joe? My guess is he is hiding. Hoping that Joe doesn’t leave another burning bag of dog poop on the doorstep of his legacy.

Just a Quick Note To The Democrat Enablers…
There are more than a few people making excuses for the recent scandals involving the Benghazi cover up, the AP phone scandal and the IRS. Without laboring the point these are just the latest of those we know about. The point I want to make is this: Are the people excusing or dismissing this behavior because … Read more

Congressman Mike Kelly (R-PA) outlines every American’s fear of the Tyrannical IRS
Note: be sure to listen to the resounding applause he got at this Congressional hearing concerning the IRS scandal of “punish your enemies” [Obama] in presenting actual Tyranny to those groups and individuals that expressed a political thought against the ruling regime of President Obama and the Progressives he represents.
Listen to the description of the IRS that is given by Kelly and ask yourself:
“This reconfirms everything that the American public believes. This is a HUGE blow to the faith and trust the American people have in their government.
Is there ANY limit to the scope of where you folks can go?….Is there anything at all? Is there anyway that we can ask you, is there any question that you shouldn’t have asked, Mike? Goodness, how much money do you have in your wallet? Who do you get emails from? Whose sign do you put up in your front yard?
This is a tax question? You don’t think that’s intimidating? it’s sure as hell intimidating!”
IRS Agents – Just Following Orders
IRS agents in Cincinnati may not be willing to take the fall as rouge, lone-wolf agents on some personal vendetta against the right.

“Scandal Cascade” – this is starting to look like Jimmah is off the hook!
The Bigger the Government, the smaller the citizen
Don’t worry, Jimmah – there’s an even worse dude coming in as your reliever!
I notice that Blue Hampshire has nothing / nada / zilch on the scandals (Front Page / All Posts) that have erupted since Friday stemming from the Obama Administration’s hubris of power – the DOJ going after the media (and expecting nary a sound from the sycophantic media), the IRS going after Conservative groups that held to or espoused to a form of government much less large than now and within a bounded fenced in area, HHS going after cash for Obamacare, the CIA / State Dept brouhaha over who didn’t say when about what concerning letting 4 American civilians get murdered…..a meltdown of super-major proportions.
Nary but a cricket sound from THE bastion of Progressivism here in NH otherwise known as the cheerleading squad for an ever increasing sized, ever increasing cost, and an ever increasing intrusive Activist Government that rejects the the notion of the Constitutional Republic (re: the rejection of enumerated powers, the activating of an income tax, and regulations that would make the Politboro blush) and a subsuming of the Individual into the Collective (except for in one’s bedroom – except that Sandra Fluke led the movement to demand that our wallets be present). And, oh yeah, Obamacare, the Progressivism capstone and Obama’s Legacy Schtick, really does seem to be the incipient political train wreck barreling down the tracks as little is operationally ready for the first train station stop in October. I really do hope that the Law is strictly held up to its own Law (yup, Alinsky’s own Rule to make them live by their own Rule Book – and the Rule Book ain’t a 1/4 done) – and I will admit: I do hope this House of Cards that is little more than a Old Western Town’s facade to the Temple of Progressivism comes tumbling down and tumbles hard. And before you Progs start screaming “you hateful person”, remember, not a single Republican voted for this pile of legislative doo-doo. You own it. You own the economy. You own the gridlock. You own everything.
And now, you are about to be blamed for it. Deservedly so, as Progressivism IS the Root Cause. Every single bit can be traced down to your philosophy. Enjoy – and weep.
US News.com Says Jeanne Shaheen Pressured IRS
Not exactly a bastion of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, US News connects the dots between public rhetoric and policy efforts by Democrat Senators that specifically mention right wing groups, with the ongoing partisan actions taken by the IRS against conservative and TEA party groups.
From “Senate Democrats pushed for Tea party snooping before criticizing it…”
“From Max Baucus to Chuck Schumer to Jeanne Shaheen, key Senate Democrats publicly pressured the IRS to target groups that held differing political views and who, in their view, had the temerity to engage in the political process. The IRS listened to them and acted. And other Democrat senators like Kay Hagan and Mark Pryor said and did nothing about it.”
NH US Senator Jeanne Shaheen: on Both Sides of the IRS “Targeting Tea Party Groups”
New Hampshire US Senator Jeanne Shaheen on Feb 16th, 2012 (In a letter she signed and sent to the head of the IRS requesting they investigate 501(c)(4)’s in the run up to the 2012 elections)
“We write to inquire if the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is investigating or intends to investigate whether groups designated as “social welfare” organizations, and thus receiving tax or other advantages under section 501 (c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 26 USC § 501 (c)(4), are improperly engaged in a substantial or even a predominant amount of campaign activity.”
“…The promotion of social welfare does not include direct or indirect participation or intervention in political campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for political office.”
Last weekend (5-10-2013) we learned this…
Organizations were singled out (by the IRS during the 2012 election) because they included the words “tea party” or “patriot” in their applications for tax-exempt status, said Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups.
In some cases, groups were asked for their list of donors, which violates IRS policy in most cases, she said.
And what did New Hampshire US Senator Jeanne Shaheen have to say about that?
Blogline of the Day: Sir Winston Churchill on the Obama IRS Scandal?
As Steven Hayward of Powerline points out, this speech by the British Prime Minister during WWII given while campaigning to retain that position after the war’s end, points out that a Socialist Government brooks no dissent. Yes, the title of this post is a wee bit over the top (after all, Churchill is no longer with us), but even though these words were spoken almost 70 years ago, the meaning still holds true – the Collective cannot tolerate thoughts contrary to its own. After all, if people start thinking on their own, they have just gone “Individualistic” – the opposite of the most High Truth of Socialism: We ARE (and WILL BE) in this together.
My friends, I must tell you that a Socialist policy is abhorrent to the British ideas of freedom. Although it is now put forward in the main by people who have a good grounding in the Liberalism and Radicalism of the early part of this century, there can be no doubt that Socialism is inseparably interwoven with Totalitarianism and the abject worship of the State. It is not alone that property, in all its forms, is struck at, but that liberty, in all its forms, is challenged by the fundamental conceptions of Socialism.
Look how even today they hunger for controls of every kind, as if these were delectable foods instead of wartime inflictions and monstrosities. There is to be one State to which all are to be obedient in every act of their lives. The State is to be the arch-employer, the arch-planner, and arch-administrator and ruler and the arch-caucus-boss. . .
A Socialist State once thoroughly completed in all its details and its aspects—and that is what I am speaking of—could not afford to suffer opposition. . . Socialism is, in its essence, an attack not only upon British enterprise, but upon the right of the ordinary man or woman to breathe freely without having a harsh, clumsy, tyrannical hand clapped across their mouths and nostrils. . . Have we not heard Mr Herbert Morrison descant upon his plans to curtail Parlimentary procedure and pass laws simply by resolution of broad principle in the House of Commons, afterward to be left by Parliament to the executive and to the bureaucrats to elaborate and enforce by departmental regulations? . . .
