The IRS Scandal: using the government of the people against the people who disagree with the Obama Administration

Surely, we all understand the awesome and, frankly, horrifying power the IRS has come to have in our system, which originally didn’t even contemplate an income tax, much less oversight of it by such a monstrous bureaucratic leviathan. What could be more chilling and destructive to our liberties than a government targeting – that’s its word, not mine – private citizens and organizations based on their political and ideological views?


If the First Amendment means anything, it is that the full force of the federal government will be used to safeguard, not suppress, the liberties of American citizens to utter political speech, especially speech critical of the government. But instead, this IRS sought for abuse groups that criticized the administration and groups that wanted to teach people that under our Constitution, such government officials have no right to do this type of thing.

"Freedom from fear"? Nope. That is gone.  You dare speak out against Obama and you will be harassed by the IRS.
