Obama administration is out of control

| June 9, 2013 7:00 AM

Hey liberals, go ahead and tell the rest of us that this administration is not out of control; that it’s not stomping on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Here are some of the reasons I believe this: the immigration policy, the “Fast ‘n’ Furious” gun smuggling cover-up, the pushing of gun control, the purchase of 1.6 billion bullets, the monitoring of more than 100 phones at the Associated Press, and implementation of a national education curriculum called “Common Core,” which is run and graded by the U.S. Department of Education.

And now the Internal Revenue Service has been caught targeting and intimidating conservative political groups, pro-Israel groups, and Christian groups, while passing up on liberal groups, green groups and pro-Obama groups. All the while, the people involved with all of this just say, “I wasn’t aware, I didn’t know.” My big question is why?

If you agree with the government doing this, then you’re happy. If you don’t, then you should be frightened. Our democracy is in danger. I hear all the time I’m scared, or what can we do about it or leave me alone in my ignorance.

Well, I say stand up, get involved, run for office, call on our political officials to do something because our country is in trouble. Pray to God for wisdom and courage. Someone once wrote all it takes for evil to prosper is for good people to do nothing. God bless you all.
