Our government is based on constitutional limits to power. It is therefore bitterly ironic that Lois Lerner now avails herself of those constitutional protections after abusing her prerogatives as a civil servant in a position of power to—by her own public admission—target, harass, and intimidate her political opponents. Even so, the beauty of our system [...]
A week ago yesterday Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton turned his back on children across his state by signing into law a bill that allows same-sex couples to participate in the institution of marriage.

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. The deliberate and shocking targeting of conservative organizations that sought tax-exempt status stands in contrast to government collusion [...]

Video from a press conference on the crazy Cleveland kidnapping story. For purposes of this post you only need to watch the county prosecutor’s short remarks at the beginning.
