  1. “The Democrats embarked this Obama project to “transform” their country under the rather childish delusion that they were going to screw everyone who opposed them, and nobody was ever going to screw them. With the IRS, the National Parks Service, and every other government agency they are putting their rather naive theory into operation. They are sowing the wind, and they are going to reap the whirlwind.”
    Apologies to Sir Arthur “Bomber” Harris.

  2. “Would the IRS actually go after a cancer patient, who had voted for Obama initially, just for appearing on FOX and now being sharply critical of Obama and suggesting that he resign for his health plan lie?”
    Yes,they would. Most Americans aren’t very familiar with history,other than a little American history,if they were,they’d recognize the Stalinist tactics this government uses.
    They’ve removed the power of “filibuster” from the Senate GOP minority so Obama’s appointments to the judiciary can’t be contested,a basic component of the American political system, so this action by the IRS is “small potatoes”.

  3. Because beating up on cancer patients with an IRS audit and lawsuits, demonstrates over arching concern for the human condition.
    The ugly underside of the “Obama-Nation(tm) Care”; what bunch of creeps.

  4. Nah, it’s just a coincidence. Besides, according to Oprah he’s a racist who oppresses her, confining her to her $50M house in Monticello.

  5. The more accurate description would be when the President or his appointees engage in illegal acts, there is unlikely to be effective recourse as long as they are committed in the name of the desired fundamental transformation.
    I encourage everyone who hears the phrase “the law says” from any US federal agency and every political and social entity that receives federal funding, or hopes to, to get a copy of the law or regulation or court case and read it themselves. Usually that will show that the law does no such thing and the declaration is purely aspirational.
    To cloak the fundamental transformation in a veneer of supposed legal mandates.

  6. Too bad our immigration policies don’t reflect that when it comes to Muslims. Our politicians seem to be slow learners.

  7. This chap needs to burn all his records and take the jail time – then he can get free health care.

  8. A couple of years after Joe Stalin left office (died, actually), Nikita Khrushchev gave a famous speech: “On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences”. I bet that an American version of that speech will be made in Washington within the next ten years, and the subject will be Clinton/Obama. Then the real fun will begin.
    Of course, Khrushchev didn’t get it entirely right. He blamed Stalin, whereas the real culprit was the system. Time will tell if the Americans eventually recognize that it is their system, (which has changed from one which was workable and admirable to one that is failing through corruption), that is at fault. They won’t fix it by electing another Reagan, or a Roosevelt, or even another Lincoln. They must fix their system.

  9. The left is more brazen than usual lately with its totalitarianism and tactics of intimidation, behaving as if there is no such thing as legitimate opposition to their policies. When the Democrats pulled that anti-filibuster move recently it convinced me of something that I’ve been suspecting for a while now: they’re no longer scared of losing elections (because of both voter fraud and amnesty, which will bring in a host of new Democrats).

  10. From the Declaration of Independence,
    “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”
    George III was a callous tyrant, yet he didn’t interfere with his subjects medical treatment.

  11. Ofay Cat said: “Once you know who you may not criticize, then you will know who to fear.”
    Or another way to look at it, that’s your new target list. If you can see it, you can poke it with a pointed stick.

  12. What Ofay Cat and Deb said.
    Government intimidation through its organs is definitely a weapon being used by this administration to shut people up. Reminds me of some other previous regimes.

  13. The solution, my American friends, is dead simple.
    Stop paying taxes. Period.
    Make the scum come after you, each and every one of you – it’ll take them 1000 years to audit all of you. Make them drag every nickel out of you, penny by penny.
    Better yet, inform the IRS en masse that you are henceforth habitual and incurable tax delinquents, and demand to be put in prison for the rest of your lives. If you are at work, walk off the job. If you are serious about saving your Republic, you now have far, far more important things to do than simply paying your bills on time. It’s gone beyond that now. Nothing short of a radical recalibration is going to succeed. It’s time for escalating tax revolts and national strikes.
    The US government will collapse within a week.
    Otherwise, just shut up and take it – the rest of us getting shafted by you idiots (Israel, Poland, South Korea, etc…) are getting tired of listening to your endless carping.

  14. bbs @ 9.21 Makes sense to me, the IRS staff concerned may just be malignant sycophants but they are on the record as a criminal organization.
    Why would honourable citizens pay tax dues to criminals?
    The open abuse of the constitution and due process by Obama and his pet democrats should leave no citizen uncertain, you are the enemy, in their eyes.
    So you are to be robbed,persecuted and imprisoned, if you oppose their plans.Which is to take from you to reward their friends.
    So why pay taxes? Your property,liberty and health are all going to be “managed” by these kleptocrats, you have nothing to lose in battling the IRS, that is not going to be taken from you anyway.
    Imagine the chaos and fear in Washington DC with the real taxpayers in open revolt.
    Might even wake the RINO’s up.

    Because if you don’t they shoot you. Why do you think police forces across the Western world are acquiring military weapons and vehicles? For when the sheep look up and the joke is suddenly over.
    In other words, they’re arming up for the day the welfare checks bounce. Coming soon to a semi-fascist state near you. Like Ontario, maybe? Or New York City.
