This is the administration that spied on a presidential campaign, blocked TEA party groups from holding tax exempt status, politicized the IRS, DOJ, CIA, FBI, and just about every other department of the government in an effort to make their Hitleresque take over of America seem like a movement.
There have not been prosecutions, but much of that is because mountains of evidence have been tied up by the Mule Ears debacle. There is no justice in the world. If there were, half of Barry's clown show would be in prison for life and the other half doing an air dance at the end of a hemp rope.
Once again though the media is out in force claiming that the dems can do no evil and the republicans no good.
When did our press go bad? If you think it happened since 2008, you are living with your head in the sand. If you,like me, hearkened back to the days when the most trusted man in news, Walter Cronkite, claimed Vietnam was not winnable, you, like me, are also not paying attention. Go back further. 1930's? No, much further. If you look at the times of the 1850's, you will see how the press was dishonest back then.
I would love to see archives from the 1856 and 1860 elections. I know the press was whipping up hysteria back then. When Lincoln was elected, he did not have the power to end slavery. Yet, the press in the southern states used emancipation as the catalyst to whip into a fervor the residents of the south. There was no radio. There was no television. People got their news from word of mouth and from the news papers. Bubba next door wasn't going to tell Cletus what Lincoln said, he was too busy plowing his few acres to attend a campaign event. Many of the poor were illiterate, they counted on people in the town square to inform them, and most of the people in the towns knew only what the local paper printed.
That was the power of the press. In Colonial times the king kept a tight reign on the press for that very reason, control of information. Part of that was to keep anarchists from planting ideas, people will believe what they see in the news whether it is CNN or the Times. We have a desire to believe that the people informing us are honest.
Control of the news is control of the masses. Go off topic and farcebook will shut you down. same with Twatter and every other corner of the internet. The people who control the dems believe that truth is what they say, so get ready for months on end of being told how great Joe was as VP and what an efficient leader we will have when he is elected. besides, the secret Service detail will keep your daughters and wives safe from him ONLY if he is elected.
