Scandals,
Fisticuffs and the Voices
of Tyranny
by Charles Payne
Man
... there are so many scandals
and donnybrooks it's hard to keep track of them. Heck, there has been
so much
shocking news and fisticuffs I've already forgotten about the
Garcia-Woods
tango over the weekend. This fresh batch of scandals that's popped up
like
springtime perennials could have enormous conclusions.

How
these are handled will tell us
even more about the administration and give insight into how dangerous
the
power grab of the past four years is.
Obama
Administration vs. Tea Party
& Individual Rights
This
IRS scandal is so egregious it
might even ripple through Main Street. How amazing is all the talk of
suppression of the Black vote when in reality it was members of
conservative
organizations like the Tea Party that were being denied opportunities
to grow
stronger opposition to President Obama. This was real suppression, real
intimidation, and real harassment. I don't think anyone had to answer
how many
bubbles are in a bar of soap but IRS demanded donor lists, copies of
speeches,
manuals and even list of books people in organizations read.
It's
the oldest trick in the book,
do to your enemy what you are accusing them of doing to you. It is real
underhanded stuff. Yes, the administration really stuck it to
organizations
that dared to think for themselves and had to gall to ask for nothing
from
government. Talk about turning the government reliance agenda on its
head-how
could anyone turn down more food stamps, earned income tax credits,
child tax
credits, welfare, and more goodies. The Tea Party said "no thanks,"
and their message was catching on; see 2010 election results.
This
is the height of hypocrisy,
but the administration isn't very contrite despite the resignation of
Steven
Miller, acting head of the IRS.
Separate
Sinister Entity
"Unfortunately,
you're grown
up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more
than some
separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems. Some
of these
same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They'll warn that
tyranny
always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices."
-President
Obama
Thank
God for voices of tyranny;
the kind of voices that rejected a King; the kind of voices that
rejected a
Madman; the kind of voice that rejected a rule about where to sit on a
bus; and
the kind of voices that rejected laws of knowledge that could have
never
conceived personal computers, laptops, smart phones and medicines that
doubled
life…
