I thought I was hallucinating.

Robert, your comment is perhaps too narrow. The IRS actions are part of a vast — yes, Hillary, vast — conspiracy by the left to accumulate overwhelming political power. Fast and Furious, a limited program begun in the Bush administration to track weapons traffic to the Mexican drug cartels (in which guns were outfitted with tracking devices), was appropriated by the Obama administration to move hundreds of weapons to Mexico. The result was the killings of hundreds of innocent Mexicans and two U.S. border agents. The stimulus — which has remained a part of federal spending for five years (shame on the Republicans for permitting it) — has been used not to fund projects for public benefit but to pay for unfunded public union pensions across the country. In Benghazi, the administration was attempting to bond with the Muslim Brotherhood by facilitating its shipments of Libyan weapons to Syrian rebels. When it went bad, the president and the secretary of state ran for the hills and have been lying through their teeth ever since. And with the IRS, this is just the tip of the iceberg. The IRS, the whole Justice and Treasury departments, the EPA, HHS, the NLRB and a host of other agencies are now being employed as political arms of the left, bent on punishing and coopting opponents and centralizing power. Who will head this off? Is the GOP leadership even aware of what’s going on, and can they gather their courage to do what is necessary? These are the times that try our souls.

The IRS is just one aspect of this effort.
