Free Press. Free Pass.

What impressed me the most about this article is how rabid the Press was, at the time, to "expose" George Bush.  Despite the fact that no evidence was ever found to warrant their claims, the Press hounded this story (to the point of touting fake documents).  They did so beyond all reason and restraint and it ultimately destroyed two fine careers.  Fast forward to the Barrack Obama presidency and we see no such similar furor.  Despite numerous questionable issues to be probed, much of the mainstream Press seems content to lap up the official White House line on any subject and move on to more "pressing" issues like Gov. Christie's "Bridge-Gate" or whether we should call illegal aliens "needy migrants" or "yearning dreamers without papers."  Instead of doing cheetah-flips over Hobby Lobby, the press should be hammering this administration on it's half-truths and outright lies about its shady dealings.  Transparent administration?  Robust and tenacious free Press?  Hardly. 

The Progressive Left LOVES this image of an anonymous masked citizen lashing out against an oppressive government.

But this: 

The Progressive Left lambasts this garb as the cowardly face covering of a Right Wing Domestic Terrorist; afraid to show his true face before an open and transparent government of hopeful carers.
