In your opinion. It is ot the opinion that many people have. There are some things that are opinions and some things that are facts. It is either in the proposed legislation or it isn't. It isn't. If you think I am mistaken, then find the language in the legislation. In either case, it isn't an opinion. There is a right and wrong answer. I say it's not there. If you think it's there, then find it and quote it. I was not aware that the IRS was political organization. You said "virtually every conservative organization," IOW, political organizations. The IRS is not a political organization. It is part of the executive department. It is sometimes used as a tool by the politicians who lead administrations as is the FBI. The president is a politician, not a bureaucrat. Like I said, political organizations are typically probed by politicians in competing administrations. This is different from messing with an individual and different from messing with a person's health and different from messing by a bureaucrat. You can't reasonably extrapolate from one to the other. If facts about them give you headaches then you might want to imbibe in some stark black and white reality. Facts don't trouble me. Black and white thinking, however, is a logical fallacy. It saddens me when I see it. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste."
