On their news page, IRS officials have posted some notices regarding what they plan to do in response to their recently revealed misdeeds.  How much will actually change is anyone’s guess, especially considering the BHO Regime’s open warfare against any and all critics and its use of all governmental agencies to harass opponents.

IRS Charts a Path Forward with Immediate Actions

Report Outlines Changes for IRS To Ensure Accountability, Chart a Path Forward; Immediate Actions, Next Steps Outlined

As could be predicted for our short attention span nation, there is already a push by those in power and their disciples to drop the IRS story and let them get back to their business as usual.  Even though there is no shortage of other BHO Regime scandals to keep us all busy, we need to remember that IRS has been tasked with a great deal of new power to do with ObamaCare and their abuses of power in the past will pale compared to what they will be doing in the near future if no new controls are put into place to restrain them.  This Regime has shown over and over again its opinion that it is above any laws, including the Constitution, and will just continue to ride roughshod over everyone if they are not held to account for their well documented past crimes.  If Lois Lerner doesn’t see the inside of a prison cell, the message to all other IRS employees will be clear.

FBI hasn’t contacted a single tea party group in IRS probe, groups say –  Did anyone actually expect the criminal Attorney General, Eric Holder, to do anything but hinder any investigation of the BHO Regime’s crimes?

Poof! Media drop coverage of IRS scandal –  Doing their job of covering up any news that reflects badly on the BHO regime.

I don’t watch mainstream news; but it seems as if they are still doing their job of ignoring and covering up any news that could make their messiah look bad.  Luckily, we now have plenty of alternative news sources that aren’t afraid of exposing the truth.

In addition to these news articles, be sure to check out the political cartoons on the IRS issues.  They are hilarious and must be very cathartic for the cartoonists.

Cincinnati IRS staffer: D.C. showed interest in Tea Party cases –  The claim that the Cincy office was acting unilaterally was always a pile of BS.

At IRS Hearing: Talk Of ‘Jackboot Of Tyranny’ – Not hard to justify this when IRS is allowed to start every case with the premise that the taxpayers are guilty and they are forced to prove their innocence.  Mass murderers have more legal protections from the government than do taxpayers with IRS.  

Fmr. IRS head does not think targeting tea party groups was ‘illegal’ – How can we ever expect anything to change when so many in power agree with the use of IRS against political opponents?

IRS accused of hiding existence of Tea Party targeting documents – Shocker, not in the least. 

Don’t whine about the IRS, kill it! – Michael Reagan

Americans Deserve the IRS – Walter Williams chimes in. 

The Taxonomy of Scandals: Is Obama Nearing a Breaking Point? – Not likely considering that he has been given full blanket immunity from any wrong-doing because of the color of his skin.

Conservative sites tie IRS controversy to liberal group –  Disclosing private tax data to outside groups is supposed to be a crime–  if done by a GOP administration.  It’s business as usual for the DemonRats.

Washington launches four different investigations into IRS scandal –  This pretty much guarantees nothing will happen as a result.  With four separate committees each looking at particular parts of the scandal, the public’s attention will be diluted and nobody will see the entire Big Picture.  We need one Watergate Sam Ervin style committee to investigate everything in one setting. 

Embattled IRS part of House GOP attack ad campaign –  Finally some Repubs using the kind of hard-ball tactics that the DemonRats excel at.

Watergate premonitions? See the YouTube video that lays out how Barack Obama is handling his scandals the same way Richard Nixon once did –  As much as the BHO Regime hates the comparisons to Nixon, they are too similar to ignore.  Unfortunately, we won’t have the same conclusion as we had in 1974.

Americans beware — ObamaCare expands how the IRS can hurt you –  They will help decide who lives or dies.  What could go wrong with that arrangement?

IRS may have targeted conservatives more broadly –  As in anyone who was vocal in opposition to the DemonRat agenda.
