The Insiders: The Obama IRS nightmare is just getting started

Your government, as currently administered by President Obama, doesn’t like the word “patriot.” If you associate yourself with an organization using that word, you may be investigated and prosecuted. Under Obama, government employees think they are doing what their superiors want them to do when they harass and menace political organizations that might oppose the president.

Vladimir Putin is probably jealous of Obama. He and others like him will hardly be able to hide their smiles when they hear the United States preach about the need to let political organizations function freely. What lessons should the Muslim Brotherhood learn from what the Obama IRS has done?

To say the least, this story has legs. The scandal is already getting worse, and it hasn’t even officially started yet. The IRS inspector general’s report is only the beginning, and it was just leaked on Friday afternoon (the typical, amateurish time for leaking damaging news). The formal release date hasn’t even been announced. Yet the jaw-droppers keep coming. This morning The Post reported that the Obama IRS targeted groups that want to “make America a better place to live.”

The Obama IRS scandal will frighten any American who has to pay taxes... There’s too much about this scandal that confirms what people already think about Obama, his government and his political machine.

As the term Socialist has become “Progressive” so too has the term counterrevolutionary become “Patriot”.

If you speak against the government you will be noticed, its gone way back to when Obama asked for people to be turned in by Americans on flag.com.

Taxes are patriotic, pay more of those if you have a desire to be patriotic.

As he claimed he would curtail ownership of a coal fired plant he is using the power of the government to coerce (the exact words he used) us to his way of governing.

A government of coercion, bent on deception, actively punishing to those who he divides the country against.

This is Obamas vision as Reagan's was the shining city on the hill.

I wonder if America likes being told so much about how the can or should live their lives?

One thing is for dam sure, our founders didn't accept this for their lives.
