Obama’s Weaponization of Government (opinion piece published 10 years ago MUST areas lest you forgot)
Forbes ^ | January 31, 2014 | Tom Basile (Former Contributor)

……

“Everyone in the House Chamber knew something that the American people have yet to fully grasp and Republicans have yet to demonstrate an ability to combat – that their government has grown so large, so complex, so involved in virtually every aspect of their lives, that it is now being used as a weapon to by a small segment of the ruling political class.

The weaponization of government is happening and it's time Americans took notice. For all the folks - primarily on the left – who screamed and yelled that the Patriot Act was shredding the Constitution, far more intrusive tactics that have nothing to do with the NSA or Homeland Security are being deployed right under our noses during this Administration. Those tactics reduce every Americans’ personal and economic freedom.”…..

I am searching for other information of Obama corrupting the government and came across this.

Obama and associates have done much damage to this country.

And 99% of them said nothing.

It’s both chilling and embarrassing how much we’ve forgotten of Obama’s weaponization of government. We’ve gotten used to it being there and ignore it today.

But don't you know that "white supremacy" is the greatest threat to America after "climate change."

White supremacy is such a great threat that the FBI has to stage it to remind us.

There’s no question that Obama is the poster child for why the Founders put the “natural born citizen” clause in the Constitution and that he weaponized the government in favor of communists against the American people.

That said, G W MORON deservers a ton of blame for weaponizing the government after 9/11. We thought it was just to go after terrorists, but all it took was someone like obama to come along and grab all that power and turn it on us. The neoCONs are as much to blame for the left being in total control today as obama is. Obama is evil. We knew that. The neoCONs tricked us. Do not forget that Ron Paul tried to warn us at the time and the media colluded against him like the collude today to push their narratives and silence dissent.

Mitch the Bitch and the neoCONs didn’t say one damn word against obama firing all the military leaders and replacing them with outright communists. Not ONE DAMN WORD. They were too busy worshipping their false idol ‘the first black president’.

The long march through the institutions continues. I believe we’ve crossed the Rubicon. No one can reduce the scope and power of the .gov unelected bureaucrats. History repeats. Human nature hasn’t changed.

remember the media going ape-###t over G W MORON spying on FOREIGN phone calls?

Now thanks to the moron, the NSA spies on every email, every phone call, every text message. And NOT ONE DAMN WORD against it from the lying media. All in total and complete violation of 4A.

I’d blame the republicans. No fight.

You’ve got to eliminate entire departments.
IRS-Take taxes down to 1% of income. Make up the rest with a Fair Tax, the amount being debated every other October(election year). The IRS can ‘wither on the vine’ while we eliminate the 1% altogether.

Which is why I’m amazed at the FR push-back to an Article V Convention of the States.

Obamanites

Basically the death to America crowd.
Take out the hub and you take down the G7.

You can never have both income tax and Fair Tax. The Fair Tax will soon be a VAT. <>

Sure you can. Just vote each year to eliminate the 1% income tax. Keep doing it until it passes. Just think of all the IRS agents unemployed and the 87k not hired. Voters will go for it.

"The weaponization of government is happening and it's time Americans took notice. "

😕😀😃😁🤣🤣😂🙄🙁

Yes indeed! The Americans stood up and stopped the communists cold...

Oh...Wait...
This must be the Bee...

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

All the left-wing crap that’s happening now is the fruit of the tree planted by Sheik Obama (piss be upon him).
