Incredible news from World Net Daily today:
Don't agree with Obama? Get ready for IRS probe
Private group told review under way since work may 'contradict' president
According to the article, the Internal Revenue Service is delaying approval of tax-exempt status for a private organization, Z STREET, and reviewing its work, telling a lawyer for the organization that it must be examined because its activities may, and this is a quote from the lawyer, "contradict the administration's public policies"!
I personally don't know anything about Z STREET, but apparently it's a group that educates on the statehood and status of Israel.
Apparently Z STREET has met all of the requirements to be granted tax-exempt status, but approval was delayed because of a "Special Israel Policy that requires greater scrutiny of organizations which have to do with Israel, in part to determine whether they espouse positions on Israel contrary to those of the current administration."
It is unbelievable that in this "FREE" country, the government can penalize an organization simply because it doesn't agree with the government! This sounds uncomfortably similar to the position of communist governments where the people are not allowed to speak out against the government!
Interesting to note that the IRS has no problem granting tax-exempt status to CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror financing case. So once again, the enemy-in-chief gives preference to our enemies!
