The Obama administration has turned the executive branch loose on its enemies — part of a disturbing and unprecedented trend toward delegitimizing political differences and marginalizing conservatives. Behind the special status of his presidency, President Obama has used the machinery of government to harass and intimidate political opponents — to an extent greater even than former Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, both threatened with impeachment.

Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, both threatened with impeachment.
Clinton was impeached, just not convicted. See, if you are a dem and purjury yourself, that is not important in the left’s eyes.
Meanwhile, this monster not only harrasses his opponents, he uses the machinary of the courts to criminalize dissent. Nixon did not do that.
What’s the point of getting elected to office, if not to bedevil and torment your enemies, and share around the wealth with your cronies?
The will of SOME of the people is served perfectly well. As for the rest, well, “my way or the highway”.
Except, there IS no “highway” to get away from this incestuous fustercluck.
Richard Nixon had an “enemies list”. That worked out so well for him.
I was just reading up on the Euromaidan protests in the Ukraine. One of the grievances the protestors have against their president is that he has used tax agencies and other government entities to silence and harass opposition. They are also upset over government corruption and cronyism.
This all sounds very familiar.
But, hey! How about that Justin Bieber?
The EXEMPT, absolutely hated US Congress,
and their families, and their staff, and mistresses,
all received their EXEMPTIONS from DeathCARE(ObamaCARE);
and they are relieved .. and frankly no longer care.
Obama is the epitome of everything liberals claim to despise in a president, or any government official.
Yet they cannot bring themselves to criticize him or break with him because of his race and their embarrassing five year long man-crush swooning over him.
They would rather go down with the ship than admit to their liberal friends they made a mistake.
Odumbo doesn’t have the backbone to stand up face to face with an opponent, he has to use the power of those at his disposal to “do his laundry”.
I truly despise the man and cannot wait until he is nothing more than a black mark in American history. (And that is not meant to be racist)
Obama and Hillary are both practicioners of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.” Using the power of the government to punish opponents is a major reason for gaining power in the first place.
What do patriots do when attacked by such enemies of freedom?
I have no doubt that Obama is more Nixonian than Nixon, but I’m not too sure that D’Souza should be the poster child for this, considering that his lawyer is using a new and innovative “stupidity defense” to defend him.
