The End of a Free Ride?

The Press MUST always be critical and fairly so, regardless of the political leanings of who is in office. In a republic such as ours, representatives must be held accountable to the people or it doesn't work and we get tyranny. I am so angry at the Press and their dereliction of duty, particularly over the last few years. Add to that the smugness with which they do so. Andrea Mitchell is one that stands out in my mind with her smug, "It's amazing" with her part in the presentation of a Romney rally that totally changed the information from being a lesson about the value of capitalism and competition to a lie portraying Romney as just one rich guy who doesn't understand regular Joe things. Plus, in all that dishonesty, Mitchell goes unpunished. Luckily for her and her kind is that their audience are mainly low information people who only get their information from mainstream media. Hence their dishonesty is not discovered by their audience.
I had a lot of respect for Barbara Bush before. She has gone up even more. (For the record I don't hate the Bushes nor am I great admirers. I do think they are generally good people but they are a bit too big government for my tastes.)
It so warms my heart that the WH is satisfied with the IRS officials' responsiveness. This WH never ceases to be able to p*ss me off. They treat the American people like just a collection of idiots. And they had the nerve to call Romney "out of touch". Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
It only makes sense that gunman go to gun free zones to do their evil deeds. If they have done any planning, and generally they have done quite a lot, why would they go where they is a fair chance they would be cut down quickly by a CCW holder?
I think most Americans have a gut feel of what the truth is regarding Benghazi, Fast and Furious, IRS targeting, Press targeting, and let's add Health and Human Services shaking down companies for money. I believe that gut feel is mostly correct. We just don't have quite enough revealed to put people away yet. This is just like with mafiosi. Everyone knew who they were and the terrible crimes they did. It just couldn't be proved in courts following the legal process. But Obama, Holder, and Carney please understand. We know who you are. We are not fooled by your song and dance at press conferences and congressional hearings. I don't even think that you are fooling your stanch supporters who are willing to following you to hell. I just want you three to understand that in case you actually think that we the people are as stupid as you appear to think we are.
I would rather the Left come right out and say what they stand for than pretend to support the Constitution, the Declaration, and our liberties that those documents defend. I wish they would come right out and say what their end goals are. Stop playing all those word games. Stop chipping away at the United States little by little by fudging on the Constitution here and fudging there. But they are too dishonorable to do so to tell us what they really are. I include the RINOs.
The field that a person studies matters a great deal. When I was in college in the mid 1980s, my best friend got tired of bioengineering/pre-med that he had been studying and found he liked German lit and considered switching his major to German lit. I told him, "Mjor in something practical so you can get a reasonably good paying job. You can still study German lit as a hobby. If you major in German lit, you are still ultimately not going to work in German lit so you might as well major in something practical." He took my advice and has been gainfully employed being paid well. There is nothing stopping him from studying German lit.
Even then, taxpayers will cover it only upon death or working for the government in an approved job for 20 (or is it 10?) years.
But the really insidious thing is the government uses student loans to enslave people. The only way out of student loan liability is to pay it off or to work for the government in approved areas for 20 years (or is it 10?).
Amen Brother Rand Paul! You and Ted Cruz and the few like you two AND the PEOPLE who support you all are what is keeping the USA from being completely in the septic tank. Mr. Carl Levin, if those executives weren't "dragged out", then what do you call it? I am sure they didn't come out just to rub elbows. I do think it is congressional harassment of business. They did nothing illegal so why are you wasting their time? If we harass business, make being in the US a hostile environment, they will leave. What good is that going to do us? The world is competitive. We have to compete.
Mr. Miller should be hung out to dry just for that insult to the intelligence of the American people.
