Southern Tier TEA Party Patriots met March 28 at the Lakewood American legion. Reports were given on the potential BPU annexation and other local issues.

Along with 300 others, Roy Harvey and Karen Engstrom-Harvey attended a conference on climate by the Heartland Institute in Washington, D.C. Those who deny climate warming are called scientific deplorables. Under a politicized Obama, the EPA shut down much industrial production with Loretta Lynch calling for an investigation of climate deniers. Trump reduced the EPA by 30 percent and put coal back in business. Windmills, they said, are a negative for Chautauqua County: not enough wind to make them profitable, farmers lose agricultural discount, and land values go down. Seventy-five percent of wind energy is subsidized by taxpayers.

There is one addiction that may be more difficult than any other to escapethe addiction to getting something for nothing, wrote Dennis Prager. He referred to able-bodied people who get cash payments, food stamps, subsidized housing, free or subsidized health insurance, and other welfare benefits. Once people received entitlements, politicians know it is nearly impossible to ever reduce them. The Left also is aware of this so constantly seeks to increase entitlements. The more people receiving government benefits, the more people vote left, said Prager. The Democrat Party should be regarded as a drug dealer. It is my right to have this is the theme of those receiving entitlements, making it a moral component for the entitlement addict.

The entitlement state fails in every country. Tens of millions of immigrants are brought in to keep the entitlement state alive, said Prager. This addiction ultimately ruins the character of many of its recipients, the economy of all the countries in which it exists in large numbers, and the value system that created the prosperity that made so many entitlements possible in the first place.

Members discussed A Contrast of Views: TEA Party Conservatism vs. Liberal Progressivism. Key areas were contrasted. For Conservatives, individual freedom, equal opportunity to pursue goals, liberty, rule of law and God-given rights in the U.S. Constitution are fundamental. Contrasted with living constitution, security from big government and focus on a New World Order leading to socialism for Progressives. Conservatives want free market healthcare, insurance across state lines, focus on doctor-patient relationship and fetus regarded as living person. In contrast, Progressives want nationalized single payer healthcare leading to bureaucratic control of doctor-patient relationship and legal right to abortion.

My liberal friends are fretful, Donald Trump has threatened to let Obamacare destroy itself and make Democrats bend to his will in it's remaking.

That's one sixth of the economy, that's one sixth of the jobs and somebody in every family, but the rich, maybe, the rich have cousins, it's possible they care. If Donald Trump takes America hostage and they aren't prepared to burn the country to the ground, like the Tea Party, AKA Freedom Caucus, he'll have to change his name.

Corporate Media will of course ignore the fact that the Tea Party and Judy Miller changed their names for nefarious purposes.

They betrayed the Republic, everyone knew it, they changed their names and, at least in the case of the Tea Party, Freedom Caucus went back to undermining the Republic with every fiber of their beings, in their God's name.

But hey, exposing the fact that the Freedom Caucus is a renamed Tea Party, determined to bend America to it's will or see it go up in flames, would elect Democrats and put downward pressure on shareholder value.

Trail Life USA featured by Tea Party - Chillicothe Gazette

The American Center for Law and Justice on Tuesday declared victory over the Internal Revenue Service at least for one of its clients after a Washington state group with tea party in its name was approved by the federal agency to receive tax-exempt status as a lobbying organization.

It took seven years.

The group approved, Tri-Cities Tea Party, had requested permission in 2010 to operate as a 501(c)(4) organization. The Obama administration wasembroiled in a scandal over instructions to IRS agents to harass and obstruct tea party, Christian and other conservative groupsapplying for tax-exempt status.

No group ofcitizens, whether conservative or liberal, should ever have their First Amendment rights to freedom of speech or the freedom of association infringed by a targeting scheme by a government agency. No group should be forced to wait more than seven years to receive a determination on their request for tax-exempt status, said the ACLJ, which represented the Washington state group.

This is a significant victory just days before Tax Day. But this issue is not over. We are still fighting on behalf of Tri-Cities and other clients to see that they receive justice and those responsible for this unconstitutional targeting scheme are held accountable.

Your one-stop recourse for the best books on economics, from The American Dream Under Fire to End the IRS Before It Ends Us and Godonomics, is the WND Superstore.

The legal team explained the bureaucratic nightmare started when the organization first contacted the IRS to file its 501(c)(4) application in March 2010.

The IRS did little or nothing with respect to the submitted application for approximately six months, the report said. Then Tri-Cities got a lengthy list of additional questions.

Then another 15 months dragged by.

The IRS, the ACLJ report said, was in no rush. In fact, it was intentionally dragging its heels, keeping another conservative group from obtaining the tax-exempt status it deserved. This was common practice with many of our clients. Months and even years would go by with no response from the IRS. The intrusive questions and delay after delay were all tactics used by the IRS as part of their unconstitutional targeting scheme.

Obamas IRS sent another round of questions nearly two years after the application was filed: Twenty-seven questions with 28 subparts.

Eight months later, the IRS admitted that it really didnt need that information.

But still no resolution.

Eventually, Tri-Cities retained the ACLJ to help it determine the appropriate way to respond to the continuing onerous demands of the IRS. At this point, however, the IRS seemed content to allow Tri-Cities to languish in a black hole of uncertainty, the legal team said.

Even with our representation, Tri-Cities continued to be ignored entirely by the IRS for months on end, and they expanded this practice by ignoring our communications on behalf of our clients.

It was in 2013when Lois Lerner, then the director of the Exempt Organizations Unit of the IRS, admitted publicly that the IRS had been targeting conservative, Christian and tea-party groups, and the ACLJ sued on behalf of dozens of organizations from more than 20 states.

The IRS, after being told to resolve the Tri-Cities issues, tried to do so by denying its members permission to participate in the process.

However, the ACLJ said, that determinationnow has been set aside, and the original application approved.

While the IRS targeting scandal was just one of several dozen major controversies to plague the Obama administration, it was one of the more egregious, as the official weight of government power bludgeoned activist groups that wanted to participate in the political process.

Judicial Watch, the Washington watchdog that has for years been fighting to access IRS documents that reveal the extent of its discriminatory actions against Christians and conservatives, has asked President Trump to consider criminal counts against the much-feared federal agency.

President Trump needs to reopen the criminal investigation of the IRS as soon as he is sworn into office, said Tom Fitton, the president of the organization, before the inauguration.

Investigations have revealed that the IRS agents would deliberately delay issuing a decision on organizations that were in conflict with Obamas agenda. That meant they couldnt obtain tax-exempt status, and they couldnt even appeal.

Among the IRS strategies was to ask inappropriate questions, such as what was the content of members prayers.

The IRS also was found to have been making inappropriate demands such as that a conservative group denounce opposition to Planned Parenthoods abortion agenda.

Multiple lawsuits resulted, and some of those organizations have yet to get a decision from the federal agency. Cases still are under way.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled at one point that the IRS did, in fact, discriminate against tea party groups.

Some of the groups harassed by the Obama administration even demanded the government appoint an independent prosecutor to decide if criminals charges should be filed.

We have seen a deliberate and systematic effort by the IRS to delay, deflect and deceive Congress in its effort to hold those responsible for this unlawful targeting scheme accountable, said ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow at the time.
