The Internal Revenue Service has delayed approval of tax-exempt status for a private organization and is reviewing its educational work, telling a lawyer for the foundation that it must be examined by Washington because its activities may "contradict the administration's public policies." The allegation is contained in a federal lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by Z STREET, a Merion Station, Pa., group that educates on the statehood and status of Israel. "Not only is it patently un-American but it is also a clear violation of the First Amendment for a government agency to penalize an organization because of its political position on Israel or anything else," said Z STREET president Lori Lowenthal Marcus, a former First Amendment lawyer. "This situation is the same as if the government denied a driver's license to people because they were Republicans or Democrats. It goes against everything for which our country stands." Contacted by WND, IRS officials declined to comment on the publicly filed lawsuit or even say whether they would respond. Read more: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=196313
Talk about corruption! It's truly amazing that these thugs are getting so bold and openly breaking the law without the smallest attempt to hide it. "Those who are willing to sacrifice their basic liberties to assure their security deserve neither."

Surprised? Nope.
This kind of corruption has been going on for awhile now, but this administration does it openly and on a scale I'm note sure we've seen before. Reminds me of Nixon...at some point they actually start to think this behavior is OK and acceptable.

Any applicant to his cabinet, office staff or teh like had to reveal the URLs & screen names to any & all forums, blogs, and social meda sites. The message was clear; "Want a job in my administration? You better be towing the party line."
And "do you own any guns?" Never initiate force against another. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.KYFHO

The real problem is when citizens begin to think crap like this is ok and acceptable...
