The Civil War Has Begun
Breitbart´s Big Government, by David Bossie

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 2/7/2013 12:34:57 PM

When a person amasses too much power, they often believe they are indestructible. What Karl Rove and company did last week in the New York Times, claiming that their new “Conservative Victory Project” would cure the ills of a disappointing campaign cycle, is laughable. The so-called “Conservative Victory Project” is nothing more than an attempt by establishment Republicans to cull the conservative movement. Why does Rove think he has a monopoly on wanting to win? At least Karl Rove and company are finally out front with their disdain for the conservative movement,

Comments:
This is going to get very interesting. I´m sure Rove didn´t expect such a huge backlash.

It may be time to throw off the shackles of the GOP. Do we really need their baggage?

Don´t we want to be a party of conservative workers - rather than the party of Millionaires?

It isn´t helpful when sources like Fox News describe opposition to ButterButt Rove as coming from the "far right", rather than run of the mill conservatives who make up what they like to call the "tea party".

It´s certainly hard to argue with #3´s point but perhaps there is some good at the end of the shooting.

I am a lifelong Pubbie. I have never voted for anyone that was not a Pubbie. But, I am about to jump ship. All I need is a viable conservative alternative. If the Tea Party became a full-fledged party tomorrow, I´d probably join.

We need to learn to think long term like the communists do, not just about the next election. It will take time to defeat the communists, aka democrats.

PS: Rubio is NOT the answer.

For too long the Republican party has done what it wants, sacrificed ethics for cheap political gains, and pushed mediocre RINO candidates to the forefront hoping to gain votes from people who will vote for the devil himself if he was a Democrat.... all the while slowly but surely alienating its voting base. My moment came when I received the "Donate to us" call and stated I did not support the candidate and the reply was, "Yeah, we will have to hold our noses and vote." And I replied, "Again." The strategy of the GOP has become hold your noses and vote for people who act more like Democrats than Republicans.

I went and had my eyes checked because the political lines became blurry. The GOP must understand NEVER AGAIN assume the party doesn´t have to earn my vote.

At last.

Stop with the circular firing squad analogies. Way too late to shame conservatives back, especially when so many have already left.

Rove and Co., are not the friends of conservatives or America. In the last election they were made aware of what it means to forsake the base. In a fit of pique they have decided to form a PAC. How nice.

They are so irrelevant. History has moved and they have not. They have become a thin slice of tomato on a hearty rye sandwich. The conservatives will eat them alive.

Sometime soon, we´re going to have to remind ourselves of our real opponents. It´s not each other, it´s not our GOP congressmen and women, it´s not our GOP senators, it´s the Democrats.

Karl Rove and the rinos are more dangerous than the Democrats. The rinos keep changing shape.

Me thinks the writer needs to calm down, take a pill and remember who is true enemies are.

Time to embrace the Buckley rule again: Conservaties should untie behind the most conservative canidatate that can win.

Remeber Delaware...and Indiana. May not have the rallying cry like the Alamo, but at least it´s a reminder to balance the hyper-ventilating rants from those on the right who cost the Republicans two senate seats.

The GOP has seen liberalism-lite bleed over into its political core, with the RINO cadre of DC elitist DC Club dwellers taking the Party reigns. Only three things can change this: 1) attrition of the RINO’s, 2) a bloodless coup against the RINO’s, or 3) a third party.

Attrition of RINO’s will take so long the country will be gone.

A third party feeds the Dems.

A coup against the Rove RINO’s is possible. The ghosts of Reagan, Buckley and Goldwater are riders in the sky.

Yippee kiyeey!

#3, 10 and 12, hows that $16 trillion debt working for you? everytime you vote what the establishment throws in front of you the debt gets bigger and the country continue to slide.

do you really want to support a party that lost to 0bama twice?

in 2012 election many in the tea party decided to quit playing the game played by the Dimms and Repugs. You are not in Kansas any more.

Bush/Dole/McCain/Romney Repugs will never be president again. "Cotton" republicans all

The revelation that the government’s talking points in the wake of the Benghazi attacks were edited to reflect the concerns of a variety of federal agencies has sparked a firestorm of controversy in recent weeks. Some early reports on that email exchange created the erroneous impression that the White House was more deferential to the concerns of State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, who sought to remove from those talking points a variety of references suggesting the Benghazi attack was the result of a coordinated act of terror. The actual interagency email exchange, released by the Obama administration on Wednesday,

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Expands Anti-
Obesity Campaign to Museums

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa. "Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied. After Schock pressed him further, Miller explained that although

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

HHS:´Telework´ Gives Gov´t

Cybercast News Service, by Terence P. Jeffrey    Original Article

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure
