The White
House trying to dictate who's a news organization. Democrats out to gut a business group. Obama media allies damning Americans as racist, unpatriotic and treasonous. Is this the America Obama promised when he campaigned to end the cynical and divisive politics of the past?
– Steve Huntley for Chicago Sun-Times, Oct. 20, 2009
As I recall, during implementation of the previous administration's strategies in the War on Terror, members of the far left bleated their resentment toward those who questioned their patriotism. Given the left's pathetic deportment in response to terrorism, and reckless sympathetic tendencies where terrorists were concerned, they had come under criticism of the more circumspect among us.
Still, they claimed that their dovishness, objection to such measures as the Patriot Act and support of sanctuary city statutes didn't make them any less patriotic than anyone else, damn it.
I could add a litany of surreptitious machinations in which the Obama administration is currently involved that are far more questionable in terms of constitutionality (the argument used by progressives against many of the Bush administration's anti-terror policies). One is the resurrection of a National Institute of Health study on the effects of gun ownership on one's health. (The study had been discontinued by the CDC more than a decade ago.) In characteristic fashion, they are apparently examining the idea of stripping Americans of their Second Amendment rights and selling it to them under the guise of "protection" from something they've determined is "unhealthy." Cute.
Then we have the targeting of American citizens at large, and the Fox News television network in particular, with charges of being racist, unpatriotic and treasonous in their criticism of the current administration's policies.
At the same time, Americans became aware of this administration's porcine communications director bragging on their control over the press. Anita Dunn, a woman tasked by the Obama administration with policing Fox, was also revealed to be a virtual apostle of China's founding communist chairman, Mao Zedong, a man responsible for the murders of nearly 100 million of his own countrymen. (Other Obama appointees and associates have been found to be committed to Marxism, a doctrine that has led to the deaths of millions more.)

And just days ago, it was reported that the Obama Justice Department overruled a local municipal election in North Carolina, citing a position that favored the Democratic Party, the leadership of which is overwhelmingly uber-progressives and Marxists. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=113609
