So journalists now care about the Constitution and abuses of power?

Editor's note:  Normally I have permission to publish someone's work in full, but this time I feel this is such an important article I'm doing so without the author's permission, as I don't know how to contact him.  If he objects, I will remove it and provide a link.  In the meanwhile - please enjoy - this needs saying!!!!!  RK

The mainstream media are making a big deal about their supposed fealty to the Constitution and their dedication to exposing all "abuses of power."

What a crock.

Where were these people from 2009 to 2016? Start with the strong-arm muscled-through passage of Obamacare back in 2010.

President Obama used far from orthodox methods to find the funding for it. The press is yelling now about how President Trump is seeking to shift funds around for a wall at the border. But remember that when Obamacare came up short of funds, the namesake president just unconstitutionally stole the money from taxpayers because it would have been inconvenient to go through Congress and admit to the public that the Democrats lied when they misled the public that Obamacare was paying for itself.

The Obama administration was a big booster of unorthodox and unaccountable funding. It set up slush funds at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Justice Department, and the EPA, much of which was made up of confiscated money from the private sector. Instead of handing that over to the supposed victims, they illegally used the money for political purposes and to reward political supporters. ACORN got quite rich from some of these setups. Not once do I remember journalists in the mainstream media giving a damn about abuse of power and a constant violation of the Constitution during the tenure of Obama-Biden.

To return to Obamacare, here is a hint: there is nothing unconstitutional in a president allowing people the freedom of choice as to what type of health insurance to buy. In fact, President Obama, his team, and other Democrats deliberately and continuously lied to the public when they said the citizens would have the freedom of choice to keep their plans and doctors if they liked them. Almost all journalists supported this intentional deception to the people and chastised anyone who dared tell the truth to state that Democrats were lying about this.

When the founding fathers wrote the Constitution, they focused on giving the power to "We the People." They wanted to limit the power of government because they knew that the more power government officials confiscated for themselves, the greater the threat to take away freedom from the rest of us.

President Trump is trying to give the power, purse, and freedom back to "We the People" as fast as he can in support of the founding principles of the United States. He is being fought every step of the way by almost all journalists and other Democrats.

Democrats, on the other hand, are trying to take as much power for the government and themselves, which is exactly the opposite of what the Constitution envisioned, and almost all journalists are supporting this quest for power and away from freedom for the rest of us.

It is truly disgusting how much journalists, especially those from Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Associated Press, are still willing to lie to the public in order to put Democrats back in power as they holler about how President Trump spends taxpayer money.

Pretending they care about the Constitution and abuse of power after supporting Obama and Hillary throughout their corrupt tenure shows how low the news media have sunk and how little they really respect "We the People."
