Hey, those federal taxes aren’t really actual taxes, are they? But what difference does it make since the law is irrelevant.

@Mike,
The Democrats aren’t unprincipled. I know Democrats have a principle called expediency. It may be the only one.

Andy Borowitz, author of the Borowitz Report, is a career satirist. Can find the Borowitz Report online, as I did some time ago; stopped, because things were too serious to joke about. Still are, and getting worse.

We have references to Mordor and Claude Rains in the above posts. Is this where we find our truths, in mpvies? In fictions? I know these are cited as useful examples, but still, people…

The Left’s morphing of our language is a classic Alinsky tactic, as in Comprehensive Growth Planning, which they term ‘Smart Growth’. If one opposes ‘Smart Growth’, one must by implication favor the alternative, “Stupid Growth’, though the Smarties never call it that. You are opposed to their -their- Smart Growth? What does that make you? an opponent or a stupid?

@ Mike (from a different Mike): By “principled” do you mean good? Then there are no principled democrats. None. Zee-roh.

If by principled you mean that they are men and women of principle (a fundamental idea or rationale), the it is true that they follow their principles. They are all “principled”.

Their principles are evil They want to control, destroy, amass power, squash any dissenters, break the back of America and Americans.

They run on the principles of Morder and they are outstanding at sticking closely to their principles.

“If I find that any members of my Administration have had any intimate knowledge of, or involvement in, the workings of the United States government, they will be dealt with accordingly,” he said”
Removing the Govermentspeak-
AKA I will promote them and give them bonuses and a higher position. 🙁 (That is all I better say lest I receive a welcome letter from the IRS.)
I was surprised at the bald faced arrogance of the IRS director. (But then I heard that before an IRS employee can be fired, they have to go before a committee. And like the State Department, the number of people fired in any given year is less than 100. Don’t hold your breath that we will get any answers.)

I’m just not sure why all the “principled” democrats on the other side of the aisle are not outraged. They are outraged that 3 ROP followers had water poured over their faces (which we do to our people in the military for training.) but this is just “old made-up news.” Keep drinking that Kool-Aid.

I’m sure that Pat knows its satire, but was pointing out that the New Yorker was critical of the One.

}}} “Actual, real scandal” being of the same ilk as “rape, rape,”

Truer than you possibly grasp. The case in question, Polanski was not merely engaging in sex with a minor just a short while before her official legal age — we’re not talking about a case of a 16 or 17yo who, let’s face it, has at least SOME idea what she’s looking for, even if it’s still illegal — we are talking about a barely 13yo girl… and, yes, it was pure RAPE, not even “potentially consensual” by any standard. The official court transcripts of her testimony show that
a) it was not sex, she was sodomized in her ass.
b) she was begging him to stop and he continued in spite of that.

So it’s correct, it wasn’t “rape rape”, it was “fucking damned inexcusable RAPE, period.”

And that prick SOB has NEVER gotten the idea that he did anything wrong. Years after the event he’s on record as saying he likes (and thinks every man likes) to “fuck young girls in the ass”.

It’s a good thing she wasn’t my daughter, or that bastard SOB would not still be around to make films.

And it’s a mystery why not. It’s hunting season, and we all know there’s no way in hell it’s ever going to get shot around there… :-9

Obama and his supporters are going all Claude Rains claiming they are “shocked, shocked” by the IRS machinations but my guess is that most of us here are, shall we say, slightly less shocked. This points up what was really the Original Sin in the fawning MSM coverage of Obama – their stubborn and willful refusal during the 2008 campaign to report anything about BO’s Chicago machine politics background. Even some superficial coverage of this would have gone a long way towards deflating the exalted aura they were so determined to bestow on him. Which of course was exactly why they didn’t do it.

Pat, I read Strassel’s op-ed in the WSJ and it is absolutely devastating. I wish every American would read it. In fact, I believe I saw another cite in the past day or two of a column by her a year ago concerning the administration’s targeting of Romney donor Vandersloot. This is probably why she could so fluidly weave together all the threads into such an indictment of Obama, because she has been following this closely for a long time.

Her crushing final words: “After all, he expects the IRS to ‘operate with absolute integrity’. Even when he does not”.
