I’d Laugh, But…
By Mitch Berg
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails, channeling Will Rogers:
The woman who was in charge of the unit that delayed conservative groups their tax exempt status has been promoted.
She’s now in charge of Obamacare, where she has the power to delay conservatives health insurance reimbursement for medical treatments.
Previously, she could annoy you; now, she can kill you. That’s what Progressive Government means – it gets progressively worse!

We’ve got a Stage III government.

Just eliminate all political campaign activity from allowable activity under 501 (c4) status. That is much cheaper than enforcement and less government spending is good right? For an example, how hot do we all get about public employee unions advocacy?

Emery, I see where you’re going with this. Why don’t we just strike this phrase
“the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. “
from the First Amendment – it’ll be just as effective, be less expensive to administer, and it will have the added bonus that Dear Leader will no longer feel the need to undertake even sham responses to his “subjects” lamentations.

Good old McCain-Feingold. You wouldn’t want to protect political speech around election time.

Emery is fine with fat cats buying political ads, but if I and 30 (or 300, or 3000) other similar thinking folks want to pool our funds and buy an ad, he wants our spend first reduced by a 30% tax bite on the pooling function.

Draw up the papers. I think we should call ourselves the Patriots’ Tea Party for Progress at The Crossroads. Should sail right through.
