Morning Briefing: Back to Nixon?

Morning Briefing For May 13, 2013 1.  This is a Scandal We Must Not Let Slide Welcome to 1984.  The government that is supposed to govern by the consent of the people is now attacking those who seek to preserve the Constitution.  Even as a number of non-profit organizations that aid and abet illegal aliens or Islamic terrorists are able to operate without any fear of investigation, we now know that tea party patriot organizations have been singled out for audits by high level officials at the IRS. On Friday, it was all about "low-level employees" and was not "politically motivated."  It must have been a random glitch in the system that forced these officials to target limited government educational groups.  Now the AP is reporting that this witch hunt was approved at the highest levels and was going on for 2 years . . . please click here for the rest of the post → >> Today's Sponsor 2.  Jen Rubin's Hatred of Jim DeMint Brings Out the Full Stupid If you ever wondered if the Washington Post bothers fact checking its bloggers, wonder no longer. They clearly do not. Jen Rubin brings out the full stupid today to try to throw Jim DeMint under the bus. It's very well established she hates Jim DeMint because he is . . . wait for it . . . a conservative. Rubin has a history of bashing DeMint for being a conservative while she, ironically, poses as a conservative voice at the Washington Post. Today she brings out the full and true stupid. It's like she got beat with the stupid stick and this post of her's is the play by play. . . . please click here for the rest of the post → 3.  Eating Their Own: Teamsters Acting Like 'Parasite' Stealing Other Unions' Members Wars between rival unions, though infrequent, go back more than a century. Now, as union membership continues its decades-long decline, union efforts to pilfer members from other unions seem to be making a comeback. At the head of the pack is the infamous International Brotherhood of Teamsters. With efforts underway to lure workers at both US Airways and American Airlines away from their existing unions, the Teamsters are, once again, creating enemies in the union movement. . . . please click here for the rest of the post → 4.  Red state Dems' deafening ObamaCare silence Leading Democrats have criticized the president's implementation of ObamaCare: The Democrats' majority leader, Sen. Harry Reid, said last week that he agreed with Democrat Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, a Democrat architect of the law, who said about the ObamaCare implementation, "I just see a huge train wreck coming down." Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden expressed concern about what's going to happen with young people if their insurance premiums shoot up. Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin told White House officials that he was concerned about big rate increases being sought by the largest health insurer in his state. New Hampshire Sen Jeanne Shaheen, Democrat of New Hampshire complained, "We are hearing from a lot of small businesses in New Hampshire that do not know how to comply with the law." The criticism must have hit home because President Obama felt compelled to respond. In his most recent press conference he dismissed the criticism implying the Democrats' are complaining about nothing more than "glitches and bumps."  . . . please click here for the rest of the post → 5.  Sebelius and the ObamaCare shakedown In the small, cold hours of a dreary Washington night, the Washington Post finds a poor little waif named Kathleen Sebelius trotting from the door of one luxurious health-care mansion to the next, begging for a crust of bread or half-eaten apple to help her sickly little brother, Boondoggle O'care, make it through the night after his evil Republican stepfather left him to die  . . . please click here for the rest of the post → 6.  Kennedy, Unhinged If you shut your eyes for just a moment while reading this latest HuffPo piece by Robert Kennedy, Jr., you can almost hear the gobs of spittle smacking his monitor as he wrote. There's really nothing like the pungent aroma of blue blood at full boil. As you may recall, Kennedy is an attorney, activist and Senior Staff Luddite with the Natural Resources Defense Council. He also serves as president of RiverKeeper, an anti-fracking activist group that has wisely and benevolently saved New York State from the ravages of shale gas jobs and prosperity.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post → >> Today's Sponsor Sincerely yours, Erick Erickson Editor-in-Chief, RedState Forward This Email to a Friend Take me to RedState
