Strassel: The IRS Scandal Started at the Top 
The bureaucrats at the Internal Revenue Service did exactly what the president said was the right and honorable thing to do.

I love my family, America, the Constitution, the free market, classic literature, great coffee, handbags, tall boots, and cool gadgets.
I deeply admire Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Milton Friedman, CS Lewis, and Thomas Sowell.
You can expect me to post about these topics as well as anything else I think is interesting.

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ~ CS Lewis

An open letter from Kevin DuJan to Governor Mitt Romney
I love this open letter from Kevin Du Jan at HillBuzz to Governor Mitt Romney. In it he pours out his heartfelt appreciation for how Governor Romney has conducted himself and his campaign against Barack Obama and his corrupt Chicago Machine. Here’s a portion:
I’m writing this letter to you the morning after the last of the presidential debates to apologize to you personally for doing absolutely everything I could think of for four years to stop you from becoming the 2012 Republican nominee. I really didn’t know a thing about you, except that you had a lot of kids, were Governor of Massachusetts, and looked like an old movie star…and that you came in second last time to John McCain and somehow I got it into my head that this should have disqualified you from running again this year (or that it meant you’d repeat McCain’s anemic campaign and not even try to give Barack Obama a run for his money). Boy, was I stupid..because after these debates and the campaign you’ve run I have come to realize you’re one of the best political strategists I’ve ever studied…and you are a man who has clearly answered the call of duty when our country needed you the most. I am sorry for not giving you a fair chance until you became the nominee, but I’m beyond grateful I have the opportunity today to do anything I can to help your campaign in this home stretch.
What you have managed to do in this general election will be studied and written about for years because even many Republicans have no clue how smart you’ve played things. A lot of people are going to have pleasantly bewildered faces on November 6th as the electoral college results pour in and it becomes clear why you did everything you did for the last several months; it’s going to be like the end of one of those old M. Night Shyamalan films where the pieces all fit together and the audience finally gets the big “twist”. I actually plan on watching MSNBC for the results because I want to see Chris Matthews, Chuck Todd, Rachel Maddow and the other loathsome clowns on that Democrat propaganda network have real-time meltdowns and psychotic breaks as state after state is declared another addition to your victory column.And there’s much more at the link. Please read all of it. It’s long, but so well worth your time.
This is an effective ad by the Romney campaign about leadership. Real leaders get things done. They don’t make excuses.
From Speaker John Boehner: Speaker John Boehner noted today that Republicans are “the only ones in town who’ve offered a plan to address both the threat to our security that’s posed by the defense sequester, and the threat to our economy posed by the coming tax hike.” President Obama, on the other hand, “hasn’t lifted a finger to work with the Congress on jobs or to resolve these big issues.” Boehner noted: the president “doesn’t even have time to meet with his own jobs council. He’s just out there campaigning every day and looking for somebody else to blame.”
Actually, foreign companies invested in Bain Capital, creating American jobs
Another one of the Obama campaign’s attacks on Mitt Romney and Bain Capital is starting look pretty silly. New information turns the Bain “outsourcing” narrative completely on its head. As it turns out, instead of sending money overseas, Bain Capital actually received…
The Romney campaign has a new ad out today called These Hands. It puts a face on the business owners that Barack Obama says are not fully responsible for having built their companies.
If you build it, we will come, but only to tell you that you didn’t build it.
