Zealot: “An immoderate, fanatical, or extremely zealous adherent to a cause”
From the time he was selected, early in his life, to be thrust upon America, Barack Hussein Obama has been surrounded by zealots.
His lives, the real one and the fictional one “sold” to America, were both scripted to ensure that America thought he was one thing (someone worthy to lead our nation), while in fact he was something else (a true-believing tool to “fundamentally transform” our country).
As he progressed his handlers were careful to surround him with the likes of Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, and Valerie Jarret. They in turn made sure that he had plenty of zealots as foot-soldiers. Once he was elected Resident of the White House, Obama (with his handlers blessings, of course), appointed zealots to key positions (e.g., Eric Holder), but more importantly was the message sent directly and indirectly to those lower down the chain.
The message was and is: “You KNOW what The Won wants…do his bidding and he will reward and protect you”
This is the Thomas Becket gambit writ large. In 1170 a.d., King Henry II simply asked: “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” Several of his zealots dispatched themselves to murder Becket…without needing to be directly charged to do so.
Lois Lerner was simply trying to “rid Obama of this turbulent Conservative opposition“.
And there are dozens of examples in dozens of agencies & departments where equally zealous ‘Lois Lerners’ have sought to do Lord Obama’s bidding…because they KNOW what will please his Awesomeness.
Even IF Lord Obama actually leaves the White House in January 2017, the zealots he and others have littered the governmental landscape with will remain…and will continue doing the bidding of their one true god: Progressivism! Obama is, after all, only the physical manifestation of that god.

On this board, all one has to do is go back to what Judy use to say. The people that came in with Obama had one intent and only one intent – make Obama look good. Results be damned, as long as Obama looked good, it was all that mattered.
Good read on what is happening and what is to come. What many of us have been saying for some time.

Alas, Obama is right about one thing. His presidency and the country are at a crossroads. The problem is that his response — woe is me — means things almost certainly will get worse before they get better.
With polls showing most Americans don’t like his policies, don’t see him as honest and don’t believe he can lead effectively, we’re long past the point where the wheels come off, or even the moment where the car ends up in the ditch.
Something approaching a national crack-up now appears inevitable. Recent events suggest it is coming sooner rather than later.

It was once said of the Russian people: “Never underestimate the capacity of the Russian people to endure suffering”
Sadly, I think it can now be said of the American people: “Never underestimate the capacity of the American people to believe everything will work itself out”
Everything WON’T “work itself out”…at least not in a way that most Americans will find pleasant or endurable.
As Patrick Henry famously asked:
“But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?“
The myriad Kabuki theater performances..by BOTH Parties…are intended to make Americans think that everything will “work itself out”…just relax, be patient…sleeeeeep.

Yet the media portrays people like Sarah {alin and Ted Cruz as extremist.

WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, ‘Relatives of yours?’
‘Yep,’ the wife replied, ‘in-laws.’
