Ted Cruz: Just tell us the truth, Mr. President

It's never comforting to have one's longstanding fears confirmed. Yet, that's exactly what's happened over the last week as Americans have been presented with a stunning array of facts that diminish faith in our government.

Whether it's on foreign policy, taxes, or the health-care system our lives depend on, members of the Obama Administration are making it harder to trust them to perform the most very basic functions of public service.

Next, the Department of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration has found that conservative and Tea Party groups, after complaining for years of being unfairly targeted by the IRS, were indeed, singled out for extra scrutiny - harkening back to the dark tactics employed by the Nixon Administration and its "enemies list."

Likewise, it appears that Jewish and pro-Israel groups were also targeted. Senior officials at IRS have known since 2011 that the agency had inappropriately flagged these groups, yet, IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman testified - falsely - to Congress in March 2012, "There's absolutely no targeting."

“He’ll never tell the truth.”

The loyalty of all these people lies with their objective, not with any oath to uphold a constitution or to “tell
the truth”.

Lies, untruths, intentional misinformation are not wrong, but always right when the objective is furthered.

They smirk as they lie and say that everyone else is lying.

Mr. Goebbles surely would be smiling by now. (Not to mention Mr. Alinsky.)

IMHO
