The Last Crusade: IRS also targeted pro-life groups, demanded they swear not to picket Planned Parenthood
There are at least 500 groups that were illegally targeted by the White House, so I’m sure we’re going to be reading a lot of these in the coming days. But this one is simply astounding. The IRS apparently targeted several pro-life groups, even going so far as to…
Can someone tell me when the IRS gained the power to limit freedom of assembly?
This is just as disturbing as hell. There’s no freedom of speech, assembly, etc, at all if those rights only apply to people who are on the right side of the current administration—whatever it is.
Remember kids: The government doesn’t need encouragement to protect speech it agrees with.
This entire article seems to be based on yet another case of misinformation. Depending on their tax exempt status (as determined by the IRS) they aren’t allowed to engage in political activity. I believe picketing in front of an abortion clinic to be political activity and thus, would exclude them from a certain tax exempt status. Goodness gracious. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=184559283
8-years ago, CHP Officer Kevin Briggs talked this young man out of jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.
That young man’s name is Kevin Berthia.
Today he is 30 years old and married with 2 children.
This week he presented Officer Briggs with an award on behalf of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
The story of how Officer Briggs talked Kevin down is remarkable.
As you can see in the picture, Kevin is literally one step away from jumping to his death. But for more than hour, the officer listened to Kevin pour his heart out about his troubles and told him, “I know you think things are bad, but they can get better.”
Kevin says, “Officer Briggs never made me feel guilty for the situation I was in. He made feel like, I understand why you are here, but there are alternatives”
Kevin is just one of countless lives Briggs has saved over his 23 year career.
Briggs, who was promoted to Sergeant five years ago, is humble about what he does. He says, ”they make the decision, when they step back over that rail it takes a tremendous amount of courage”
I salute Sergeant Briggs!

You must have caught the extensive coverage of this on the evening news……..
Oh.. pardon me, it was ignored….not consistent with the Press’
views of gun ownership.
ANTI-GUN SENATOR SHOOTS INTRUDER
One more reason to vote all of them out of office.
(Embedded image moved to file: pic01338.jpg)
State Senator R.C. Soles (D - NC)
Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator
R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders
at his home just outside Tabor City ,
N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor
for the politician’s home county said.
The intruder, Kyle Blackburn, was taken
to a South Carolina hospital, but the
injuries were not reported to be
life-threatening, according to Rex Gore,
district attorney for Columbus, Bladen
andBrunswick counties..
The State Bureau of Investigation and
Columbus County Sheriff’s Department are
investigating the shooting, Gore said.
Soles, who was not arrested,declined to
discuss the incident Sunday evening.
“I am not in a position to talk to you,”
Soles said by telephone. “I’m right in
the middle of an investigation.”
The Senator, who has made a career of
being against gun ownership for the
general public, didn’t hesitate to defend
himself with his own gun when he believed
he was in immediate danger and he was the
victim.
In typical hypocritical liberal fashion,
the “Do as i say and not as i do”
Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his
gun and took action in what apparently
was a self-defense shooting. Why
hypocritical you may ask? It is because
his long legislative record shows that
the actions that he took to protect his
family, his own response to a dangerous
life threatening situation, are actions
that he feels ordinary citizens should
not have if they were faced with an
identical situation.
It has prompted some to ask if the
Senator believes his life and personal
safety is more valuable than yours or
mine.
But, this is to be expected from those
who believe they can run our lives, raise
our kids, and protect our families better
than we can.

I find that^ to be a good deal more reliable than the previous source-less rant. I suggest we use reason and critical thinking in our arguments if we hope to win them.
