What is a lie?
I wrote this post back in October of 2013 but didn’t publish it so as to let some people cool down. I think it’s quite relevant now.
Definition of LIE
b : an untrue or inaccurate statement that may or may not be believed true by the speaker
Do They Think We’re Stupid?
The IRS has finally shown just how corrupt this administration is.
The back story: During the years after Obama took office the IRS targeted Conservative organizations that were trying to get tax exempt status. They denied it for a long time until they finally had to admit that it had in fact happened.
Lois Lerner was the director of the IRS Exempt Organizations Unit during this time. She was called to testify before Congress but took the 5th. In May of 2014 she was held in contempt of Congress.
Now the IRS says they lost all the emails between Lerner and the outside world for a period of 2 years which just happens to have been the 2 years that were of the most interest in the investigation. “How convenient!” is what The Church Lady would say.
The company I work for is a little place with less than 50 employees but we have all the emails going back to when the company started using Outlook in 2010. Anyone who believes the IRS really doesn’t have the emails was born in a turnip patch.
But millions of Obama apologists will make excuses and keep supporting this sorry excuse for an administration. At least America is starting to wake up though as Obama’s approval rating is now about the same as GW Bush’s at the end of his term. But those same Obama supporters will happily vote for someone who’s almost as bad when they mark their ballots for Hillary Clinton. I’ll be sharing some info about her past in future blog posts.
