Under President Obama, Americans’ liberties are being neutralized at a  mind-blowing pace, and thanks largely to the establishment press, most Americans  are still too addled to see that tyranny is coming to America. The methods the  Obama administration has been using to bring this about appear pretty  transparent to some of us, but practically imperceptible to others.

Since 2009, some have maintained that Obama has dangerously compromised,  sabotaged and subverted this nation on more levels than I have room to list  here. Those of us who were aware that Obama and his cronies are in fact  actualizing the century-long dream of Marxist radicals’ for a totalitarian  America said so – and we were ridiculed. We described it as it began to take  shape under our noses – and we were ridiculed. We pointed out the Marxist  character of countless Obama policy maneuvers, Democrat-sponsored bills,  regulations, recess appointments and executive orders – and we were ridiculed  even more. Each and every example we brought to light also brought the ridicule  of the press and mincing liberal twerps at large.

Then came the attack on the Libyan embassy in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012.  Although the administration was able to forestall scrutiny until after Obama’s  re-election, for once there appeared to be people willing to come forward with  the truth and a handful in Congress willing to pursue the same. So many  Americans had reason to be optimistic, if guardedly so.

On the heels of hearings into Benghazi however, came the two scandals that  changed the game: the systematic targeting of conservative nonprofit groups for  undue bureaucratic scrutiny by the Internal Revenue Service and the systematic  targeting of journalists for clandestine investigation by the Department of  Justice.

So why were these latter two scandals different?

Without question, the IRS scandal was significant because of the depth and  breadth of the bureau’s power and the fact that its action and influence affects  each and every American. In the case of the Associated Press debacle, the  Obama-worshiping press was forced to realize that – like every entity,  individual or corporate – it was no more than a tool to be used, abused and if  necessary, summarily discarded. Suddenly, that neighborhood fence-hopping dog  started doing his business in their backyard, and they took offense.

A conceit perhaps, but better late than never, I always say …

Earlier this week, it was announced that a House committee was looking into  whether or not Attorney General Eric Holder misled Congress when he testified on  May 15 regarding the DOJ obtaining journalists’ personal records. While I  realize that this is gratifying to a lot of folks’ sense of justice, it occurs  to me that there is nothing to investigate. Appearing before the House Judiciary  Committee on May 15, Holder testified that he’d had no involvement in the  process. The video record of his testimony was viewed by millions of Americans.  Last weekend, the DOJ revealed that Holder himself had signed off on paperwork  that allowed the Justice Department to search the personal email of Fox News  reporter James Rosen.

The fact that Holder lied has thus been demonstrated unequivocally. He is  criminally liable with respect to lying to Congress, period. Likewise, we have  seen nothing but obfuscation and denial from every official connected with the  IRS scandal.

What is essential in the big picture is not that people realize how dirty  some of those in the administration are. This is important, but the imperative  is that people come to grips with the fact that the messianic figure they were  sold in 2008 doesn’t only fall short – but that he is a nightmare of historic  proportions. It is my sincere hope that the press – and subsequently a  preponderance of Americans – will now see the abject madness that people such as  myself have been railing against for four years.

It is madness to ignore the aggregate of evidence against Obama just because  a lot of people want to believe that he’s a good guy. It is madness to ignore  all of the evidence that shows us very clearly going down the road of every  other civilized nation that has descended into tyranny. It is madness to ignore  the evidence that speaks to Obama having deliberately and willfully sabotaged  our economy, even as he continues to do so. It is madness to ignore his cozy and  very open relationships with America’s sworn enemies. It is madness to ignore  that we pretty much have the framework for an entire totalitarian state build  right into Obamacare, the president’s crowning achievement.

And it’s madness to ignore that these things did not come about until one  Barack Hussein Obama became president.

Although the media are starting to pay attention to certain “irregularities”  of government, I pray that those who are not too ideologically kindred with  Obama learn how criminal this administration truly is and act accordingly, as  opposed to letting the president simply sacrifice a few key operatives and  continue to play out his diabolical game.

Let Americans of conscience continue to exercise our influence, so that any  honest elements of the press (as well as our neighbors) wake up enough to these  truths. Let them also wake up to the fact that the leaders and regimes Obama and  his closest advisers grew up admiring are the ones that committed some of the  worst atrocities in modern history, and that in any administration, the tone is  set from the top.
