“I love a dog. He does nothing for political
reasons.”Will Rogers
"Unfortunately, you grew up hearing
voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate,
sinister entity that’s the root of all our problems, even as they do their best
to gum up the works, or that tyranny always lurks just around the corner,"
President Barack Obama's Commencement Address Ohio State University five days
before the IRS scandal became known.
The love affair between Barack Obama, Hillary
Clinton and the press may be ending. Even nightmares must one day come to an
end and you wake up. The specter of using the IRS to hobble or destroy your
political enemies or obtaining the phone records of Associated Press reporters
who broke a story on a second failed “underwear bomber” has frightened the press
into a semblance of credibility like nothing else that has occurred in this
administration. After all the lap dog press had treated this President and
his subordinates like royalty. They now feel betrayed and insulted by a
President to whom they have given a free pass while he systematically ripped
the Constitution to shreds. They are feeling the hot breath of a tyrannical
government that they in large part created by being unabashed fans of this man
and not objective reporters of his actions and the complaints of his critics
whom they dismissed as extremists.
He gave such wonderful speeches…he was our first
Black President…he stood for all the right things…all the things they learned in
J School about what was wrong with a racist, sexist, homophobic Christian
America.
The question becomes will the 4th estate, finally
admit that “Fast and Furious”, Obamacare, joblessness, the economy, the
budget deficit, debt and spending , actions by the EPA and NLRB, Benghazi,
the IRS and the AP at last be acknowledged for what they are…scandals fueled by
an ideology so un-American that rational people have been warning the country
about it for the last five years of this deplorable regime.
