PUBLIC VIEWPOINT: Blind People Follow The Dictator

The Kermit Gosnell trial was a story resembling a cheap horror film. The monster and his minions worked in a house of horrors and were covered in the blood of innocents. Because the story was so connected to the abortion industry the media elected to ignore it completely or to minimize reporting the details.

The Obama administration, in my view, has become the most corrupt or the most inept in modern history. It is certainly the most divisive. Details of missteps and misdeeds fl y under the radar with the support of an ideologically burdened media.

Today’s media is no longer in the business of reporting news but in filtering it. Reporters swoon and bow low to the lies and misstatements of government officials. They cover up atrocities such as infanticide to promote the expansion of their liberal views. They don’t even become disenchanted with the administration when it is caught spying on them.

I still remember a time when investigative reporters existed who would expose corruption in government regardless of their personal political affiliations. Stories of wonder or of horror were made public no matter the affect on public opinion or politics. Today’s reporters are content in allowing professional misinformation bureaucrats to spin the news and hide the truth.

Millions of unborn children have been murdered in this country and few people know what really happens in the little houses of horrors called abortion clinics. Americans are intimidated by the IRS for political reasons, American lives have been lost at a foreign embassy because of failed policies, the Justice Department has become a political tool to silence opposition and our president simply points away and says “I didn’t know.

Somebody else is to blame.” The guardians of truth in the news media simply cover their ears and pretend not to hear. They have become the guardians of spin.

We have seen this before, in countries run by dictators and fascists, where media services are owned and operated by the government.

This should never happen in a free society such as the United States but who is to stop it as we lay back in contentment at the promise of free health care, free money and free education supplied by political snake oil salesmen? “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

The problem is a large number of Americans don’t know who is in the administration, have never heard of Benghazi, don’t know about the IRS scandal and have no idea who Kermit Gosnell is. These are the people who blindly follow the loudest voice.

They are the lemmings who blindly run over the cliff and never realize their mistake until they hit bottom.
