Freedom Fighters

When the politicians are in control of investigating and prosecuting the theft of government property and other felonies, the infractions are frequently ignored to protect friends, colleagues and campaign contributors.

The practice of protecting political insiders exists on every level of government, and is not peculiar to Democrats or Republicans. The bevy of tax evaders uncovered when Mr. Obama was filling executive posts is indicative of the attitude of the politically connected.

They are an insulated, protected species. Before the era of government partnered infomercials the mainstream media would tie bells on these cats. Now the media arrives on the White House grounds with sound dampeners and tunnel vision, ready to parrot the approved questions.

Fox News is the only outlet that still practices journalism. And make no mistake about it; its reporters are personae non grata at the White House. ACORN, Reverend Wright, and Barney Frank’s involvement in the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac never would have surfaced without its tenacity.

Fox is the outlet that reported the firing of Inspector General Gerald Walpin. Ostensibly, the White House dismissed him because he was “confused and disoriented” and “unduly disruptive” at a meeting.

In fact, this man had the temerity to report that Kevin Johnson, now the mayor of Sacramento, was playing fast and loose with stimulus funds. Walpin was fired for collecting and providing evidence of the skullduggery of Obama’s good friend and campaign contributor.

In layman terms, the excuse created for firing Walpin, a man in his mid 70’s, is that he was too old and senile to do the job. The White House just put a shot across the bow of every citizen over the age of 65. Obama signaled every US employer that age is an acceptable reason for terminating employees.

There is another thread that weaves through this. Obama, despite denials, wants to nationalize healthcare. Services are rationed in every country with government run healthcare. Our socialist leader just defined where the elderly will stand in the pecking order once government bureaucrats determine eligibility for medical procedures.

The thread doesn’t stop there. Consider the tactics used by the leadership in Iran to end the protest over the rigged presidential election. Only the news outlets loyal to the administration are allowed to publish. The internet and even electricity is being shutoff to thwart the communication of the protesters.

Obama and the Democrats own the mainstream media. These obedient lapdogs promote their agenda. Now consider the Democrats’ efforts to silence talk radio and the constant drumbeat belittling FOX News emanating from the White House.

This is not a coincidence. This is a war against the last bastions of the free press. Fox News and the Wall Street Journal are the only major news providers standing between the liberty of Americans, private enterprise, Judeo Christian ideals and Obama’s scorched earth, anti-capitalist agenda.
