Morning Briefing
For September 26, 2013

1.  The Disconnect
There is a real and genuine disconnect between grassroots conservatives and many in Washington. Let’s first concede that, like with many politicians, a cult of personality has started developing around Ted Cruz, though from my vantage point it is not nearly as virulent as among some. But, there are some who, should Cruz fall flat on his face, would declare it all part of the plan and attack anyone who pointed out he wasn’t supposed to do that.

THE TEA PARTY NET 09/25/2013

Dear Patriot,
For over 3 years, the IRS has held our tax-exemption application in limbo – trying to limit our ability to speak for you in taking back your government. We’ve decided that enough is enough!
Obama’s IRS MUST cease their targeting of people and groups based upon political beliefs opposite of their Dear Leader, Barack Obama. Their actions to intimidate, harass, and threaten Tea Party and onservative groups is absolutely unacceptable. We’ve prepared a stinging lawsuit to hold the IRS accountable and we’re now ready to file. But, we need to know that we’re not alone.
We need to know that just as we’ve fought for you on ObamaCare, taxes, the Second Amendment, and holding the Obama Administration accountable on Benghazi, Fast & Furious, and the NSA, you’ll be there for us when we take on the Obama-IRS machine.
In going up against the IRS, we made the decision to sue them for their harassment and intimidation of our organization – and so many others - because you simply cannot let a bully win. And that, my friends, is what President Obama and his petty minions in the IRS are: BULLIES.

Media Hailed Wendy Davis’ Abortion Filibuster as Heroic, But Attack Ted Cruz
The media treatment of Ted Cruz and his anti-Obamacare filibuster is a significant contrast from the way it handled the filibuster Texas lawmaker Wendy Davis mounted to keep abortions legal in Texas up tot he day of birth.
Sen. Ted Cruz, also from Texas, pulled an all-nighter in the U.S. Senate as he advocated for the defunding of Obamacare. Wearing black tennis shoes for comfort in the same way Davis sported pink sneakers, the Texas senator started speaking at 2:41 p.m. on Tuesday and has continued for almost 20 hours as of this writing. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/media-hailed-wendy-davis-abortion-filibuster-as-heroic-but-attack-ted-cruz/
Kermit Gosnell Uses Margaret Sanger’s Arguments to Defend His Abortions, Infanticides
I’ve often thought that one of the best things that could happen to the pro-life movement is for the “pro-choice” movement to get its own 24-hour cable channel.
Just give them a camera, give them a microphone, and let them talk. And talk. And talk some more. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/25/kermit-gosnell-uses-margaret-sangers-arguments-to-defend-his-abortions-infanticides/
