At what point do you call news reporters or news commentators "unpatriotic"?

The press reveals yet another Washington scandal: The Administration compiles a list of political enemies and attempts to intimidate them after obtaining information illegally. The White House formulates talking points to deny knowledge in an attempt to cover up the scandal. The President says “I can say categorically that... no one in the White House staff, no one in this Administration, presently employed, was involved.

Congress holds hearings to investigate the erupting scandal. In an effort to divert the public’s attention from himself, the President demands the resignation of key figures involved in the scandal. Oh, by the way, the circumstances above are not pulled from recent headlines on Benghazi, the IRS, or the Justice Department, but rather from 40 years ago during the Watergate scandal.

If you remember the history of the Watergate break-in, President Nixon wasn’t directly involved. However, the culture of his administration allowed it to take place. Instead of demanding accountability and punishing those responsible, the President’s instinct for political survival took over and led to a cover-up, which ultimately was Nixon’s undoing.

While recent scandals engulfing the Obama Administration may not rise to the level of Watergate, the parallels are concerning. Recent events have placed a spotlight on the culture of the Obama Administration, whether it is finger pointing over Benghazi, the IRS targeting Tea Party organizations for extra scrutiny, or DOJ obtaining the phone records of reporters. All of these scandals share a common thread: the President’s lack of engagement allowed them to occur, and a lack of accountability followed after they came to light.

Take the IRS scandal as an example. Starting three years ago, IRS employees singled out nearly 100 groups that had applied for tax exempt status, merely because their name included “Tea Party,”“patriot,” or “9/12.” For over two years not one Tea Party organization was granted non-profit status, while dozens of groups with liberal-sounding names received approval in just months.

The Tea Party groups singled out by the IRS were subject to probing questions and threats from the agency. Incredibly, the IRS requested the groups turn over membership lists, lists of their donors, lists of books they were reading, materials they handed out at meetings, posts on their websites and social media sites, and much more. As Speaker Boehner stated, “my question isn’t about who’s going to resign.

My question is who’s going to jail over this scandal? President Nixon was also known to maintain “enemy lists” and use the IRS to punish his political adversaries. It appears the culture of retribution is alive and well 40 years later.

The incumbent has (D) party affiliation so nothing is going to happen. Heck they had a sexual predator in the White House for two terms. After that it was obvious that the Joker is Wild and anything goes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
