The Washington Examiner recently reported that two pro-life organizations were actually denied tax-exempt status because of their stance on abortion. One group, the Coalition for Life of Iowa, was asked by the IRS to submit a statement that the organization would not exercise its 1st Amendment right to picket or protest at any Planned Parenthood events. Planned Parenthood, of course, endorsed Barack Obama II in 2008 and 2012.
And then there’s good ‘ol Barack Hussein Obama II. The product of a single mother, raised in Hawaii and Indonesia, educated at Occidental, Columbia, Harvard (which records have yet to be released) and earlier in life, a Muslim elementary school in Indonesia. Wait, what? Despite the confirmation of this in his memoir, Dreams of My Father, we are supposed to accept the notion that this man is a Christian. Ignore the fact that his Muslim brother was the best man at his wedding and he at his. Ignore the fact he held an Iftar dinner last year at the White House during Ramadan and invited several members of the Muslim Brotherhood. The signs of BHO’s unwaivering defense of Muslims was always there, folks. This history and the recent Benghazi, IRS, and AP scandals only confirm his lack of concern, accountability, credibility, and willingness to combat Islamic jihad.
While the recent conduct of BHO is no doubt concerning and quite frankly, scary, it’s what we don’t know that worries me the most. The lack of executive experience, abuse of power, questionable background and relations are beginning to have a little more meaning in explaining the executive decisions he’s made (or hasn’t made) to date. We are seeing the result of what happens when people base their votes on what they don’t know, what hasn’t been accomplished as promised, or “swag”.
The people of Siaya, Kenya, based their votes on what they thought of Malik Obama in the gubernatorial election earlier this year and, guess what? — he lost and, of course, cried foul shortly after. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree … even in Kenya.
