SUMMARY : This administration has become the most courrupt, the least transparent, the most out of control abuser of executive power, and the greatest commitment of illegal activities of any Administration in the history of the United States. Because elected and appointed officials fear being labeled somehow "racist," should they point out these clear violations, the level of opposition and outrage has been kept low. But this has only encouraged more of this behavior...which is destructive to our constitutional principles, the rule of law, and to our liberty. This man is not bad because he is black. There are millions of loyal, law-abiding, and patriotic African Americans. This is happening because this man and the ideologs he has surrounded himself with have no respect for the U.S. Constitution, or the Free Market, and they are intent on, and have openly told us all that they mean to fundamentally change it. They are going about that "fundamental change," with a will, and it is evidenced by this horrific record of abuse and illegality.
