Perhaps you thought that, with Lois Lerner gone, the IRS had settled down.
Don’t be duped.
The Obama Administration is “alive and well” with onerous and specific targeting of conservative franchises.
And that would include Breitbart.com.
From FoxNews:
Breitbart News says IRS targeted company for audit
The company that runs the conservative Breitbart.com news site says the IRS has selected the network for an audit, in a move company executives suggest is politically motivated.
Breitbart News Network, a California-based company which runs several conservative websites, says the IRS recently audited its 2012 financial information.
“The Obama administration’s timing on this is exquisite, but try as they might through various methods to silence us, we will only get more emboldened,” Stephen K. Bannon, executive chairman of Breitbart News Network, said in a written statement.
The audit comes as the agency faces sustained complaints that it targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny as they sought nonprofit status, before the agency ended the practice last year.
Since the practice was made public – by the IRS itself and the inspector general’s office – other conservative groups have come forward claiming they were subjected to unwarranted scrutiny by the agency.

The IRS is like a pack of rabid dogs when it comes to Conservatives.
The auditors probably wear brown shirts and jack boots.
Well, there is clear evidence that federal employees crap on their carpets at work:

If they can do that at work, crapping on the taxpayer is nothing.

OF course they are… nuff said…
One of the great principles of this country is Freedom of Speech. Just because a person or business has conservative views that differ from those in power and they are vocal in expressing those views does not give ANY branch of the government the right to subject them to unwarranted scrutiny.
Greg, your comment came in as spam. But I believe in your message so I allowed it to come through. We should all be schooled in concealed carry. God bless you sir. Keep on keeping on. And this as a former Rangemaster for my department, where I still work after 35 years.

Thanks for that BZ. Yeah, I’m not sure why that’s happening. I do comment on several blogs, any that have meaning to me and I feel the need. It’s not spam. I do care — a LOT. Freedom of speech is important, and it should be to all of us. I want to hear all sides of an argument, not just one. It seems that the news media all have their agendas, too, be they conservative or liberal. It’s important to me that we regular citizens get to say what we believe. Otherwise, we’re just being programmed to follow the party line. That’s not smart in any civilization. Thanks for your up vote!
