President Obama maintains his status as Timid New Democrat with something to prove regarding his 'toughness', his 'resolve' about the 'subversives' who maintain an a priori notion about the public's right to know what government is doing in their name: a frontal attack on the very practice of government paternalism. The strategy is to indict the 'whistle blower' and depend on the compliant media outlets to do the rest.It's 1950 all over again and we ordinary citizens, of the now utterly dead Republic, can sleep peacefully knowing that the evil doers are being brought to a kind of rough justice;using baseless manufactured accusations and that still vital American Institution of The Witch Hunt.
