With all the might of the IRS at her fingertips, Lois Lerner is a loser

Lois Lerner’s a 3-time loser



Even with Obama administration-sanctioned IRS suppression--or with all odds stacked against them--the might of the Tea Party remains inspirationally epic. The IRS already had its hobnailed big boot down on the tail of hundreds of Tea Party groups at mid-term elections on November 2, 2010, the IRS raid against the Tea Party having kick-started in March of the same year. With the IRS boot at their throats, the Tea Parties stuck it to the high-riding Obama Democrats, virtually shellacking them in Nov. 2, 2010 mid-term elections.
When the dust settled, the mainstream media were in shell shock that conservative candidates had picked up 63 House seats, six Senate seats; took control of 29 of 50 state governorships and gained a whopping 690 seats in state legislative races. Not bad for grassroots groups whose very purse strings were already caught up in an IRS stranglehold. Patriots may recall how both Barack and Michelle, untypically silent, were home in the White House on Mid-term Election Night. Barack was in the White House Treaty Room making phone calls, including one to John Boehner and Michelle reportedly went to bed early.

The unelected czars and Hollywood stars who run the White House were undoubtedly aghast that even with the IRS holding them back, the Tea Party was victorious in mid-term elections. How could this have ever happened, some of them groused. Now it’s a matter of public record that career bureaucrat Lois Lerner, director of the IRS tax-exempt organization division targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny, leaving some of them on hold for as long as three years. Lerner is the self-important bureaucrat that used the same kind of harassment tactics against Christians, subjecting them to inappropriate religious inquires when she headed up the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
“Lerner was appointed head of the FEC’s enforcement division in 1986 and stayed in that position until 2001. In the late 1990s, the FEC launched an onerous investigation of the Christian Coalition, ultimately costing the organization hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless hours in lost work. The investigation was notable because the FEC alleged that the Christian Coalition was coordinating issue advocacy expenditures with a number of candidates for office. Aside from lacking proof this was happening, it was an open question whether the FEC had the authority to bring these charges.” (weeklystandard, May 20, 2013).
“Under the direction of Lois Lerner, the Federal Election Commission sued the Christian Coalition in the 1990s. She harassed the Christian Coalition for three election cycles. She lost her case. Before it was all over, she asked one conservative during the case if Pat Robertson prayed over him. (Gateway Pundit, May 22, 2013) In trademark arrogant Obama style, Lerner refused to answer questions before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee yesterday: “I will not answer any questions or testify today,” she said before Committee Chairman Darrell Issa shockingly dismissed her, and Elvis-like she departed the building. In spite of her arrogance and her public blindsiding of Issa’s committee, yesterday’s appearance should be recognized for what it was: Lois Lerner’s third straight defeat. Lerner lost the case against the Christian Coalition; a decade later proved she had zero effect on the power of patriots in the Tea Party Movement and yesterday lost face in provable scandals that will follow her the rest of her days. In other words, with all the might of the IRS at her fingertips, Lois Lerner is a loser. Shouting “USA!” “USA!” Tea Party patriots are still here and even armed Department of Homeland Security guards couldn’t hold them back during last weekend’s nation-wide protests.
