The Latest Lie: IRS Targeted Conservatives
"The corporate media is blasting out the story that the IRS "targeted conservative groups." Some in the media say there was "IRS harassment of conservative groups." Some of the media are going so far as claiming that conservative groups were "audited."... This story that is being repeated and treated as "true" is just not what happened at all.

The Source of Life and Death
Martin LeFevre: When you are young, the ocean is a place of endless possibilities, great hopes and distant goals. When you are older, the ocean becomes a place of nostalgia, healing, and perhaps renewal.

Karl Rove is the real poster boy for the so-called IRS (Internal Revenue Service) "scandal" of taking a closer look at applications by political organizations seeking a 501(c)(4) tax status that not only makes them tax exempt but protects their donors with anonymity... That 501(c)(4) is one sweet deal: not only do these organizations get untraceable, tax-free money laundering for their political activities, they get a taxpayer subsidy to do it...
