I was an adult during the Watergate years. I can remember clearly all three network news shows would begin with a Watergate story nightly.

They were relentless in the goal of removing Nixon from office.

Watergate was a Sunday School picnic compared to what this administration is doing (the least of which was Fast and Furious). What do we hear from the main stream press? Very little, why? Simple, Obama is their man. He can do no wrong in their eyes and if he does make a mistake, well all is forgiven.

When the history of our Republic is written, good part of the blame for the fall will be assigned to “the press”, those that were given special constitutional power to act as the last watchdog only to be turned into lapdogs of the left.

Well said. And weren't John Dean and other White House staffers featured in televised Congressional hearings all summer long?

If I'm not mistaken, Holder has so far prevented the House from publicly questioning any of his staffers. Holder lied in his letter to Congress and refused to release emails between himself and his Chief of Staff regarding F&F. Oh, and he also refused to release emails over a two month period regarding Kagan’s comments on Obamacare.

If Holder gets away with gaffing off Congress, it will mark the formal end of Constitutional government. Along with Obamacare, it will mean the President can enact, execute, and judge whatever he determines the law to be.

For no other reason than he was a Republican.

Yes - an Nixon actually loved this Nation like a Patriot. I was in High School and remember all the budding liberals going ape shit over "Tricky Dick". The same ones that needed to take Nixon down are hell-bent on taking us all down and the only way to do it is to neutralize any sense of patriotism.

Sadly, it is even worse than you describe. Yes, BHO is their guy. But what is even more frightening is that Marxism is their ideology. They are perfectly willing to help him put the country on the train to communism because they are confident that they will remain the elite and will not have to get in line for 8 hours at the grocery store with the rest of us peasants who are just hoping to buy a dozen eggs.
