Yeah, we have had lots, but the rise of the entitlement class, has spawned election winners that pander to the dependent class. Folks that do this, aren't of the self made, stand tall ilk of real leaders. Sad but true. Can you imagine George Patton supporting handing out free cell phones? Of course not.
The working class built it and I'll be damned if we don't have to carry it too. The rich buy the candidates. The politicians herd the sheep and the middle class gets screwed minus the lube.
McCain, Corker, Collins, Obama, Reid, Peter King, Jeff Flake, Grassely, Chambliss, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Schumer, Durbin this people are leading right now and you see I named Republicans and Democrats and more republicans at that.
I'm aware the source of this has a political agenda....however if the facts are accurate and they seem to be this is very chilling. Apparently using the local police the feds took a Pulitzer nominated journalist's personal papers WITHOUT A WARRANT and scanned them for content and MORE IMPORTANTLY names and sources for her work. This is quite an chilling event and intrusion on press freedom if supported by the facts. I will agree with those who are Ds that they don't own the franchise but it seems the present administration has been much more aggressive and had less concern for the 1st amendment that previous. If you feared Dick Cheney you should fear this as much or more. http://dailycaller.com/2013/10/25/exclusive-feds-confiscate-investigative-reporters-confidential-files-during-raid/
