The President and the IRS

There is nothing more beneath the office of President, illegal, unjust and damaging to the Republic than the idea of using government offices to TARGET your political opponents.  Whether that opponent be on the political left or right of your position, there is no room in our system of government for the wielding of civil government abusive power against others.  There are only two outcomes of such a policy continuing.  The first is that at sometime the roles of each viewpoint will be reversed and the same unjust policies will be directed at those recently removed from power.  Second, people everywhere lose trust in the government which leads to actual disenfranchisement and a permanent us vs. them mentality. 
The first of these outcomes is the result of shortsightedness.  While there is likely some of this going on in the current effort of the Administration tactics utilizing the IRS to target opponents, I believe the more dangerous precedent is being set on purpose which is to tear away another foundation of our country.  This article from Liberty Unyielding shows how the Obama Administration has used the power of the IRS to wield its power against citizens who are politically involved in issues that contradict official WH positions.  I've included this case to show that it doesn't matter if you are on the right or left of the spectrum, if the civil government uses its agencies to target you for being a political opponent, then the system set up as it is cannot stand for long once people realize that the government isn't working for them for actively against them.
