You think it’s easy being a conservative or libertarian in America? Government commonly targets us for audits and other harassment.

IRS HAD ENEMIES LIST IN 2010 & 2012

The Internal Revenue Service admitted on May 10th that “low level” staff in their Cincinnati office, supposedly “not motivated by political bias,” targeted 75 conservative tax exempt organizations for audit and investigation, because they used the names “Tea Party” and “Patriot.” I have obtained a copy of a hand signed memorandum (here) from Steven T.

According to his Facebook page, Maggenti is a “Conservative” and he is a fan of failed Repbulican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney and Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan. He also “likes” Freedomworks. His Facebook friends include a whole lot of Baptists. Continue reading
