Obama's IRS Acts Like A Gestapo

Acting like a Gestapo, the IRS targeted Conservative and Christian Groups and held up their applications for 501(3)c status. This eliminated their full participation in the 2012 Presidential Election with a tax exempt status which is crucial for their fund raising. This unprecedented act of using an arm of the government, the IRS, to impede political opposition, undermines the whole concept of Free Elections which is the basis of our Democracy. This lawless act is indicative of the character and nature of the Obama Administration. It is obvious that this systematic, detailed agenda was not initiated by low level employees but rather came from the upper reaches of the IRS and most likely from the White House. It is critical that Christians understand the anti-Christ nature of the Obama Administration. What Obama does against Christians is done against Christ. (Acts 9:4) Listen to a sampling of their invasive and inappropriate questions:
