Think We Are Free? Think Again.

I generally try to find the time to read Americanthinker.com daily. An article on 10/22 by Jan LaRue titled: Obama Manipulates Media to Expel Fox brings home a very good example of just how much Obama lies. The more and more I see contradicting statements surface from Obama the more I can’t help but think, one: He actually has no clue of the things he has said in the past, or two: He is too arrogant to give a crap. I tend to agree with the later more. Obama is the ultimate example of someone who tirelessly speaks in the moment; which, in and of itself is not necessarily a bad thing for a public figure. However, Obama speaks as if whatever he has to say, about every issue, at whatever point in time he says it is pure Gold. Glaring contradictions that surface later be damned! A whole book can be devoted to his contradictions, and actually, my prediction is we will see the first one in print by next year if this administration hasn’t started book burning by then…
In her article Jan points out the following:
In honor of World Press Day, Obama said the following on May 1st of this year:
“Today, I lend my voice of support and admiration to all those brave men and women of the press who labor to expose truth and enhance accountability around the world. In so doing, I recall the words of Thomas Jefferson: "The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."

I guess all that lip service about “support and admiration” for members of the press who “expose truth and enhance accountability” was only meant for the networks that trip over themselves just to kneel before him and kiss his hand. Obama and his administration have made it clear that they do not revere Fox News as a genuine member of “the press”. I’m not trying to raise any panic alarms here, but seriously: WAKE THE HELL UP PEOPLE! They are not even trying to hide it. We are clearly experiencing an indictment on the United States Constitution and our First Amendment Rights stemming from the highest branch in government. I’m not stupid; I get the whole Party-Line political song and dance that dictates you try to belittle and discredit those that oppose you. But Fox news is merely doing its job. The Press is supposed to ask the hard questions, point out the hypocrisies, and take Big Government to task on issues where it seems to overstep its boundaries. Apparently, if you question anything coming from this administration, you are ostracized, scoffed at, and declared unfit to be listened to. America: We are being lulled to sleep by a President, White House, and corrupt-main-stream media that wants us to get in line or shut up, and when enough of us wake up and try to shake the yolk of tyranny off, we are going to wonder where our Liberty went.
Once again, I direct your attention to the glaring and unmistakable hypocrisy and double-standard stench reeking from the Left. If Dub-yuh had his administration declare war on CBS, or NBC, or any other of those liberal-rag networks that constantly barraged him with disdain, what do you think the out-come would be? They would crucify him! His head would be on a platter before all to see, and I wouldn’t be surprised to hear talk of impeachment.
