Our Constitution endows us with some very important freedoms. First among them is freedom of speech and close behind is freedom of the press. The people who founded our country were escaping from the oppression of a select few over the many and they realized that the common citizen can only be truly free under a limited government.
A free press is essential to keep a watchful eye on government because government has no interest in the freedoms of the people. It just wants to grow itself by feeding on those freedoms. In 1933 government was unleashed onto the people in America like a virulent plague by Franklin Roosevelt with the New Deal. Social Security was patient zero.
It seemed like a good idea and huge surpluses soon piled up in government coffers. Then virtually all of the stored treasure was stolen by government bureaucrats and used to grow more government leaving the frailest and weakest at the end of the line eventually holding an empty bag. None of the treasure was returned and it never will be. There will of course be a tax on that empty bag.
Beginning in 1964 the War on Poverty was launched followed by the Great Society of Lyndon Johnson. The disease of government quickly mutated from a blood-borne pathogen to a pernicious parasite that could be breathed through the air. The germ of government has evolved for self-survival at the expense of the host which is the citizen, only like a virus that attacks an immune system it has hijacked, Commandeered and liberalized much of the American press-the only real defense the citizen has against the government.
On election night last November the people got a shot in the arm with a new president to fight off the spreading infection. But the liberal press like a corrupted toxin is fighting back. The disease of metastasizing government just needed the Affordable Care Act to complete its total assault on personal freedom but the new president is going to dismantle it by cutting off its oxygen.
It’s still touch and go and we must hope and wait. The contaminated liberal press has abused its freedom and partnered with government to kill our freedoms but that shot in the arm may save us. We must have faith that we have made the right choice. Maybe we should have listened to the founders.
