"These IRS allegations mean nothing.
If the targeting and intimidation were not acceptable,
and not what was wanted during the election from the top,
then I would have never been
promoted to oversee ObamaCARE over all of you."

Government Overreach: The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of tax-exempt organizations when the unit targeted Tea Party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for enforcing ObamaCare.
As bad as the IRS scandal was, with the taxing body of government using its unequaled authority to intimidate and harass the president's political opposition to aid his re-election, it got worse with the news that the IRS official, Sarah Hall Ingram, who served as commissioner of the Tax-Exempt and Government Entities Division from 2009 to 2012, is now serving as director of the IRS' Affordable Care Act division.
Ingram was so good at her job of suppressing the political speech of administration opponents by using the tax code as a political bludgeon that she was rewarded during her tenure with four bonuses totaling $103,390.
Her annual salary went from $172,500 to $177,000 during the same period, and she was also rewarded with the Affordable Care Act responsibilities.
That the person who rode roughshod over Tea Party groups was put in charge of riding roughshod over our health care is entirely fitting.
The Tea Party was a grass-roots response to the power grab and assault on the Constitution that Obama-Care represents.
It cost the Democrats the House in 2010, and the prime opponent of ObamaCare had to be punished. Her tenure at the exemptions office dovetailed perfectly with the Tea Party's rise.
Now Ingram is running the IRS' ObamaCare enforcement office, and if you think the IRS' "extra scrutiny" of conservative, pro-life and pro-Israel groups is scary, think of the IRS having access to your private medical information.
ObamaCare has 47 separate provisions that involve the IRS. It's the second-largest agency, after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, charged with implementing the Affordable Care Act.

We’re on dangerous ground...

We’ll see about that.
I pray the 0bama regime understands this, because if they don't, they will wonder why the shooting started. And it won't be pretty for them (and maybe us too).

The purpose of Obamacare, or any other State run healthcare system,
is to deny medical treatment to enemies of the State.
I thought, last week, that the resemblance was uncanny.
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
The thing that should not come as a surprise to anyone is that the most evil and corrupt rise to the top in a tyrannical regime.
She is there because she knows how to punish the enemy.
