The IRS and Profiling

So, folks are all up in arms because the IRS was targeting not for profits with the words Tea Party or Patriot in their name.  If you ask me, and I noticed you didn't, if you looked at not for profits as a whole, you'd have to imagine those with more business savvy would be the ones trying to bend the rules a bit.  That's what big business does.  And if you only had so many resources, wouldn't you focus your efforts where you'd get the best *ahem* returns?

The IRS is simply guilty of profiling - which is ironic in that folks on the extreme right tend to be the ones telling us we shouldn't let Muslims fly any more.  :D

(BTW, am I the only one who finds the new implied meaning of the word 'patriot' amusing?)
