IRS Asked Groups For "Contents Of Their Prayers"

You know, I could be optimistic and opine that the rogue IRS agents were simply "getting religion" and wanted some pointers on how to pray themselves, but I'll leave the sarcasm aside - for now.  A representative from a Texas Tea Party group relates that the IRS asked for back-end access to their website.  Read this from the Gateway Pundit.

Now read this from Breitbart News.  It delves into when the Messiah Most Miserable learned of the naughty foibles of some of these IRS Minions Most Mindless.  He claims he first heard of this from - wait for it! - the news media!  So none of his subordinates thought to tell him?  Uh, huh!  Nice try, Barack - but no cigar!

Below the jump break I'll post two videos from the hearings that are now occurring.  You'll hear the reference to the groups being asked for contents of their prayers.  Kudos to Reps Michael Kelly and Aaron Schock for asking direct questions and for giving these folks some needed reminders that it is We the People who are the ultimate authority, not the IRS.

Abortion - Enabling Men To Abuse Women

Today we read of a woman in Florida whose boyfriend gave her abortion-inducing pills without her knowledge.  She wanted the baby, he didn't.  Thanks to legalized abortion and attendant ease of procuring these medications, he was able to get them.  He has been arrested and is facing first-degree murder charges. He murdered his own baby.

This is just the latest story to date of a woman being victimized by abortion.  Several years ago a man was convicted of trying to force an abortion on his girlfriend - at gunpoint, no less.  Here's one of an oaf who hired other oafs to kidnap his girlfriend and beat her belly until she miscarried.

It isn't just boyfriends who victimize pregnant women.  Sometimes it's their own parents.  Here's a story of a Texas teen who successfully staved off her parents who wanted to abort their grandchild.  And who can forget Nicholas and Lola Kampf of Maine, who kidnapped their daughter to take her for an out-of-state abortion.  They actually bound her; she managed to escape and called the police.

I see these scenes with some regularity at the Planned Parenthood on Saturday mornings.  These scenes are in fact played out at abortuaries all over the world.  Abortion does not "empower" women; it only leads them to become more brutalized and objectified.  We've got to end this.

Critic Of Progressive Katholyc Groups Targeted By IRS

Doctor Ann Hendershott, a sociology professor and Catholic author, found herself undergoing a grueling
audit by the Internal Revenue Service after penning a number of articles critical of the Messiah Most Miserable.  The full Blaze article can be found here.

Although she made no profit from her writing ventures, the IRS demanded to know who paid her.  Moreover, they called her to their office and insisted that she come alone.

It should be noted that she not only criticized Obama in her articles, but also some notoriously left-wing "katholyc" groups, such as "Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good" and "Catholics United".  Hendershott exposed their financial ties to George Soros just a few months prior to the IRS harassment.

Moral of the story - if you criticize the Messiah Most Miserable or even just the Minions Most Mindless, you might get a rap at your door or a phone call.  We trust that they will be so decent as to do so only during waking hours.

However, in all fairness to the Man-Child of the White House, the IRS has been doing such strong-arming long before he was born (wherever that was).  It appears that FDR got them started on their wicked ways and many Dems - and at least one Republican - made use of their arm-twisting tricks.  A Wall Street Journal piece has a decent summary of the IRS's chequered career.

By the way - the Treasury Inspector General's office released its report on the matter.  Go here and download a pdf copy to your own computers.

Nazi-Esque IRS Targets Christian And Conservative Organizations

Even the mainstream media has been unable to ignore the (one of) the latest scandal involving the Internal Revenue Service and its thinly-disguised animosity towards conservative organizations seeking tax-exempt status.  For instance, this Washington Post piece from yesterday acknowledges that the IRS was targeting for special scrutiny those organizations whose names included the phrases "tea party", "9/12", "patriot", "constitution"... you get the drift.  Still questions remain.  Lois Lerner, who oversees tax-exempt groups, told reporters that "front-line people in Cincinnati" were responsible, intimating that it was limited to those lower-level IRS operatives.  However, IRS offices in Washington and California originated very intrusive questionnaires to conservative applicants.

By the way - Ms Lerner's apology makes plain that only conservative groups were targeted.  To further amplify that point, consider the speedy, expeditious manner in which the application for a differently-oriented group was processed.  It took one short month from application date.  The charity was based in Arlington VA, but not registered in VA.  The name of this charity?  The Barack H. Obama Foundation!  It's run by Malik Obama, the president's half-brother.  Ain't that sweet??

Michele Bachmann, Chair of the House Tea Party Caucus, voiced her outrage at these revelations.  I understand that the GOP leadership is talking of hearings.  Let's hope that this saber-rattling of their is substantiated with some real back-bone.

Today I learned that the IRS, as part of their harassment of conservatives, targeted a local pro-life colleague of mine.  Peter Shinn sought tax-exemption status for his Cherish Life organization - an organization that has as part of its mission the education of churches about the horrors of abortion.  He was told that if he didn't present abortion from all perspectives (including the pro-murder one) that his organization was "political".  He didn't back down.  Here is the World Net Daily piece about this situation here.

The IRS also told the Pro-Life Coalition of Iowa that their non-profit status would not be granted unless they limited their picketing and protests at the local Planned Parenthood.  The Thomas More Society is representing PLCI in their kerfuffle with the IRS.

The IRS has gone so far as to target the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.  I've no doubt it's because Franklin Graham has been outspoken regarding the threats of both Islam and "gay marriage".  I'll post more as I learn more.  But as I said, even the mainstream media is no longer ignoring this.  For now, I'll leave you with this cheery thought: this Infernal Robbery Syndicate will be a key enforcer of Obamacare!

Gosnell Will Die Behind Bars

It is announced that Kermit Gosnell avoided the death penalty by waiving his right to appeal his two consecutive life sentences.  There will be no possibility of parole.  These two life sentences are for Baby C and Baby D; he is expected to receive another life sentence for the murder of Baby A.  At the age of 72, he still will have some time to ponder eternity - an eternity that will come soon for him.

Operation Rescue compiled a list of the various crimes for which he was found guilty.  What a guy.  At least he will shed no more innocent blood.  He has enough on his hands.  Let us pray that while he sits behind bars he will come to repentance and conversion before he is arraigned before the Supreme Judge.

Father Guarnizo At Italy's March For Life



Gosnell Declared Guilty

Today the jury found Kermit Gosnell guilty on three counts of first-degree murder (of three of the babies whose spinal cords he severed) and one involuntary manslaughter of a mother.  He was also found guilty of performing twenty-one illegal abortions and over two hundred counts of violating informed-consent provisions.

Operation Rescue, instrumental in forcing this sordid affair into national attention, has its account.   Jack McMahon, Gosnell's attorney, is blaming the media for the conviction - you know, the mainstream media who had to be shamed via tweetfest into paying attention to this mass-murderer.  Why not try blaming the criminal for committing the crime?  What a novel idea that would be!  But McMahon wasn't finished spreading the blame around.  Apparently there's something called a "baby-factor" that caused Kermit's conviction.  Baby-factor!  That's a new one!  In other words, we blame the babies for being, well, babies?

He is eligible for the death penalty.  On May 21 the jury will determine the sentence.  At the very least, he'll have the rest of his life to ponder the mess he's made out of his life, safely kept away from any more babies.  For his sake, we pray that he repents lest he be condemned to far worse punishment when at last he must answer before God.

Oh, by the way - recall that Planned Parenthood coddles "post-birth" abortion!

Just One Big Happy Family! Now Isn't That Just...Special??

If it seems like the Obama administration and the mainstream media are more than cozy - almost like kindred - there's a reason for it.  There ARE several - several familial ties between members of the mainstream media and the Minions Most Mindless.  There is no way on God's green earth that these media kinfolk (and by extension, their collaborators and subordinates) can lay claim to impartiality.  They really should have disclosed these ties long ago.  Since they won't, we will!

By the way - does the word "collusion" come to mind as we consider their cover-ups of Benghazi-gate?


Pope Francis Joins Italian March For Life

In today's "Marcia per la Vita" in Rome, the pope (in popemobile of course) went into the street where the marchers were congregating and greeted them in person.  Obviously this is a first.  I'll let you all read the Lifesite News report and to take a gander at the picture of the Holy Father.

As The Toad Squirms...

Jay Carney, Obama press secretary, fits the toad role perfectly.  I've never seen him without that pained expression on his face.  Watch him now as he tries to wiggle his way out of the tangled web of deceit that he helped weave.  It doesn't work.  This video would be comic if it weren't for the serious subject matters being discussed, matters involving Americans who were killed because of the incompetence of the Obamanista regime.

Carney should just resign now (Lord knows, though, who in their right mind would hire him).  Moreover, it would be lovely if this Minion Most Mindless would take his "messiah" with him as he leaves.
