It's ironic. Flaggys all for profiling Muslims at airports, but not for tea partiers when it comes to tax evasion.

I get the outrage, but I also get where the IRS is coming from, too (just as i fully get the reasons to single out a 20-something male instead of granny at airport security) . These groups were applying for tax exempt status as a social welfare group with limited political activity. Maybe I'm misinformed, but when I think of the tea party, I think first and foremost of political activity. If they're really expanding the tea party brand to charity, then good for them.

When did I support profiling Muslims at airports? Please point it out. Or are you just clumping me up with what you believe to be knuckledraggers?

I assume you would extend that same tolerant view of using the IRS to intimidate political opponents to Richard Nixon and his enemies list.

You know, I haven't been a big fan of the idea of a President Hillary Clinton, but just seeing how you loons on the right would react makes it almost worth it.

Hil is smarter and craftier than Obama, but I take one look at her physical condition after her term as SoS and think there's no way she will have the strength for another run, let alone one full term in the commander's chair.

Not a whole lot different than the left reacts to the Bush family...

Heads will explode with Jeb vs. Hiillary???

But given the demographic trends, I don't see Jeb winning even if Hillary has 5 skeletons in her closet.

Democrats enacted $1.803 billion for embassy security, construction and maintenance for fiscal 2010, when they still controlled the Senate and House. After Republicans took control of the House and picked up six Senate seats, Congress reduced the enacted budget to $1.616 billion in fiscal 2011, and to $1.537 billion for 2012.

The administration requested $1.801 billion for security, construction and maintenance for fiscal 2012; House Republicans countered with a proposal to cut spending to $1.425 billion. The House agreed to increase it to $1.537 billion after negotiations with the Senate.

The administration requested $1.654 billion for the State Department’s Worldwide Security Protection program for fiscal 2012. House Republicans proposed funding the program at $1.557 billion. Congress eventually enacted $1.591 billion after the Senate weighed in.

Nixon was waaay smarter. You may recall after Nixon passed, Bill Clinton acknowledged that the old boy had been giving him foreign policy advice. Cue the reflexive bleating by the leftoids. To which Clinton responded (paraphrasing) why shouldn't I listen to advice from this foreign policy expert?

Good thing you're as full of sh*t as a Christmas goose. Given the fact that Hillary's own Accountability Review Board determined the cuts weren't a factor in what happened at Benghazi, it's more than just a little lame for libstains to keep advancing this discredited argument. Sounds like some shoes are being squeezed to me. I guess those "Republican" budget cuts were responsible for the two stand down orders for the team in Tripoli not to deploy to Benghazi.

In my recent exegesis on the multiple, continuing lies told by the Sun King and Madame Defarge, I forgot the speech before that gaggle of autocrats, kleptocrats and murderous Islamic thugs known as the United Nations General Assembly. In that groveling performance, he mentioned the so-called "video" six times. Hey, it was a lie. And he knew it was a lie. But why miss a chance to fellate some Islamists?

Oh, so she's not lying when you say she isn't. :D

BTW, what's with the whole "libstain" thing? Is it supposed to be a slur? A put down of some sort? Because really all it does it make you look like uneducated buffoons.

Even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then. Let me put it another way: she's not lying on those infrequent occasions when she's telling the truth. Interestingly, you seem to imply she had control over the findings of her "independent" ARB. She is a serial liar. Obama is a serial liar. And they're hoping their beloved lofo voters won't catch on.
