why is the IRS doing what I secretly wanted them to do?

Are they tapping my imagination????

1. They were doing what they were hired to do...review applications.

This whole IRS thing is surreal. So... they actually do their jobs and reject applicants that do not comply to standards. Where is the crime? The crime is not giving cry baby rethugs what they want, regardless of if it's legal. Now who is going to fix this?

But just in case, keep up the good work! Maybe your next great idea will come to fruition as well!

2. The problem is political targeting before you even get to who meets standards or doesn't

not rejecting anyone who didn't.

Process matters and equality under the law means not singling out folks for special focus because you don't like their politics or more likely here singling out people that you agree with their politics but don't want them knocking out your establishment preferred candidates since this was a Bushie running the show on this stuff.

Yup, what I think motivated this was TeaPubliKlans wanting to dull the long knives going for their establishment schmucks over the Tea variety schmucks and if the shit hit the fan, then blame the President.

Can't loose for winning like that, see.

3. It is already coming out that the left has had the same scrutiny.

Time will tell. Too bad we can't focus one minute on making things better. Always on the defensive...just the way the Rthugs like it!

4. Balance isn't my concern, equality under the law is. Not tit for tat but equality.

Every group in the class should be under the exact same microscope be they left, right, middle, centrist (who I imagine are under the least despite being arms of corporations) or non-political and you can't be doing that hunting for particular ones with key phrases someone doesn't like in their name and/or mission statement.
