In a speech at Northwestern University last month, Barack Obama said: “I am not on the ballot this fall…. But make no mistake: These policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them.”

Obama’s bottomless vanity, his clinical narcissism, compelled him to tell the truth.

Of course, when the polls saw the coming bloodbath the Democrats would suffer in the 2014 midterm elections, Obama quickly and characteristically played the victim, shifting the blame to an electoral map that was stacked against him.

Praetorian Guard (AKA the FBI) Won’t File Charges Against IRS for Targeting Conservatives — Never Interviewed A Single Tea Party Group

The FBI—fast becoming Obama’s Praetorian Guard—will not file charges against the IRS for targeting conservative groups.

However, the FBI never—that’s right, never!—interviewed a single Tea Party group.

Sounds like the kind of due process normally used by totalitarian regimes. But for His Majesty Obama, the autocratic DNA of the Democrat party is in full flower.

This is the new normal.

IRS Gives Hugs to Terror-Tied, Democrat-backed CAIR, While Targeting Conservative Patriots and Pro-Israel Groups

Seraphic Secret is no longer shocked by anything that crawls from the slime of the Obama White House.

What is shocking is that the American people tolerate Obama’s radical agenda—Cloward-Piven strategy mixed with Alinsky tactics—that is trampling on our rights, making a mockery of the Constitution, and turning America into a European style welfare state where the citizens are liberated from, y’know, liberty.

Barack Hussein Obama spent over 20 years as a faithful member of a Jew-hating, anti-American church. Jeremiah Wright, the frothing race hustler who led this church, was Obama’s spiritual mentor. Wright performed the Obama wedding, and christened the Obama children. It was in the living room of American terrorists (and trust fund babies) Bill Ayres and Bernardine Dorn that Obama kicked off his bottom-feeding political career. And at each step in his rise to power, Barack Hussein Obama has pandered to Islamists, like the outspoken Jew-hater Khaled Rashidi.

Thus, it’s only logical to discover that Obama’s IRS, has been giving preferential treatment to CAIR, a front for the Muslim Brotherhood, while at the same time turning pro-Israel groups over to an IRS anti-terrorism unit.

The Ideological Revenue Service

Treasury Inspector General Russell George compared the Obama IRS Scandal to Nixon – but worse. George said the current IRS scandal is “unprecedented.”

This is true, but George misses the essential difference: Watergate was the work of a small group of ideological zealots.

The Obama IRS scandal involves the levers of a powerful government agency targeting, tormenting and persecuting groups who differ politically with the ruling administration. This is endemic corruption of big government. The administrative state turning into an authoritarian monster.

Watergate was illegal and morally reprehensible.

Obama’s IRS scandal is illegal, unconstitutional, morally reprehensible and Un-American.

And these are the people who are going to make the decisions about your health care.
