The Obama Administration has a thorn in its side: An organization that doesn’t just disagree with the President, but builds a moral case against his policies. The White House wants to neutralize the organization’s effectiveness. They know how to get it done. That organization hears a scary knock at the door (or its equivalent in [...]
A unique conflict of ideas is emerging from the Pope and the Obama administration. Few would be surprised to find liberal Catholic leaders taking Obama’s side. But what is strange is that these pundits are favoring not abortion or gay marriage, but money-idolatry and greed. Stranger still, no one seems to notice this contradiction, especially [...]
The Washington Post now reports that officials at the highest levels of the Internal Revenue Service were aware of the program to target conservative organizations applying for tax-exempt status prior to the 2012 elections but that they remained silent.
