As if having a virtual President, Attorney General, and former Secretary of State who appear before us but never know anything about anything isn't bad enough, now comes word that the Orwellian surreality of their regime has hit a breathtaking new level.
When the Leftist architects of socialized medicine were slamming it together, they chose the most feared agency in the nation, the Internal Revenue Service, as its chief enforcer. After all, health care "reform" was never about health care. It was always about government power and control. And what better way to keep the people in line than vesting all enforcement powers with the IRS? To the Leftists, it made perfect sense: power and control, all wrapped up with the now-successfully politicized IRS.
And so it has come to pass that the IRS, the corruption of which is widespread and deep and totally partisan, is poised to enforce your health care. I used to joke that that meant that an IRS agent would be performing your quadruple bypass. Now, that's the least of our worries.
As ABC News reports:
"The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.
"Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.
"Her successor, Joseph Grant, is taking the fall for misdeeds at the scandal-plagued unit between 2010 and 2012. During at least part of that time, Grant served as deputy commissioner of the tax-exempt unit.
"Grant announced today that he would retire June 3, despite being appointed as commissioner of the tax-exempt office May 8, a week ago."
Staggering. But Team Obama thinks nothing of it, because they have always gotten away with the most outrageous and unconstitutional things, so of course they keep on truckin'.
Whether they are held accountable and penalized for the vast array of Constitutional violations and betrayals of the public trust remains to be seen; it depends on how aggressive the fawning media chooses to be on these issues.
In the meantime, bend over, America! Obama and his Orwellian shock troops are literally saying, "Up yours!"
