A lesson also for blind faith in government to fairly enforce the Gang of 8 immigration provisions

Mark Levin and the Landmark Legal Foundation fought to expose IRS political abuses directed at Tea Party groups.

The NY Times reported at the time:

Jay Sekulow, a conservative lawyer known more for his stands on religious freedom than for his tax work, said he is representing 16 Tea Party groups that are...

The Daily Kos is reacting very hysterically to the mere possibility that the Koch Brothers might buy 8 Tribune Co. newspapers, including the L.A. Times.

Kos has teamed up with SEIU and others to try to pressure the Tribune not to sell the papers to the Koch Brothers, as noted at Hot...

The Jerusalem Post must hate its online readers, or at least take them for granted, because getting to the content is a real fight.
