This war with the press is utterly disheartening and frightening.
Furthermore, what I don't get is left-wing journalists closing ranks, ironically, with the government!
Shows where their allegiance lies. And it ain't with a free press.
A banana republic for, by and protected by the partisans.
A republic if you can keep it.
Americans can't keep it it looks like.
It's almost as if Franklin and the men who authored the Declaration of Independence were skeptical of their experiment for the long-term and knew all along it would be a challenge to maintain it.
Rome lost her republic. Washington is following.

On a side note, one of the events that marked Bush's presidential legacy was his decision to invade Iraq claiming the need to eradicate Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.
The WMD's were never found. However, Iraq did have such weapons and had used them against the Kurds.
Fast forward (on your PVR) to Obama and Syria. True, Obama hasn't invaded a nation but his interventionism is equal to any that preceded it.
One of the key components of national security is to attack only when vital national interests are threatened. In today's global world and with an empire like America, that meaning can be wide in scope indeed. However, one can argue the administration's decision to arm al-Queda backed rebels in Syria is even less of a threat to national security than Iraq was.
So why is Obama doing it? If Iraq's unintended consequences were to strengthened the resolve of terrorists as was and is often argued, how won't this be the case with Syria?
