Good point, nobody cared about Watergate when it first started, it built slowly over time.

The big difference then though was back then, the Press was against the President, whereas this time they are on his side.

They are not worried about national security, they are worried about their own asses
and protecting the political party over ALL American security.
Their end justifies all means of corruption! Death to American Freedom.

Course not. But the question - the mention of "seige mentality" - gets that in the air. Cue cartoon of Dear Leader's bunker.

CATEGORICALLY DENIES that the admin or no one on his team knew anything about conservative groups being targeted. OMG

Nixon knew nothing about the "enemies list." He didn't ask for it, he never saw it, he learned about it when everyone else did. John Dean and Chuck Colson created it on their own.

‘Cannot comment on an ongoing investigation.’ IOW, we have dropped this at the unJustice department so we no longer have any intention of giving any more information to the press ... but we will keep track of your phone calls to make sure you don’t find intel somewhere else.

“What Difference Does It Make?”

As Hillary Clinton stated at the hearing on the 9-11-12 Benghazi Massacre “What Difference Does It Make?” Now I pose the same question to you. What difference does the death of an American Ambassador and 3 others make? What difference does the death of a few Boston Marathon runners and bystanders make? What difference does the death of 13 soldiers in Ft. Hood make? In fact what difference does the death of thousands of Americans on the 9-11-01 Twin Tower and Pentagon Massacre make? As the President has stated “this is a sideshow by the Republicans”, “It’s all about scoring political points”. I remember when he made the 1st public appearance after Ft Hood and the news declaring the death cry of Allah Akbar was heard during the shooting, in which we first heard “shout outs” to his cabinet officers and indian groups before addressing the “tragedy”, but “we didn’t want to jump to conclusions”. What, no terrorist attack? What difference does it make? Workplace violence, terrorist attack, does it matter? Only to Republicans, and only a few I might add. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney didn’t care that much. John McCain didn’t make a lot of noise other than let’s have a hearing and praise Hillary. It appears the only person brought to justice is the jailing of the Christian video maker (for unrelated reasons). But remember this was the official cause for months. In fact, can’t we say that Christianity in general and Zionism in particular is the real cause for all “radical Islam” terrorism. How’s that war on terrorism going? Makes about as much noise as the US involvement in the Libyan War of 2011 in which we were funneling weapons to the Muslim Brotherhood rebels. Let’s see, President Carter tears down the Iranian Presidency in the same way as President Obama helped to tear down the Egyptian Presidency. Iran is now a Sharia Law controlled state where Christians, Jews, gays, you name it, anyone not swearing allegiance to Allah get their heads cut off. But President Carter still has no ill feeling concerning the Iranian government, but Israel is controlled by evil people. Bush sends the military to Iraq and his son does the same as well as Afghanistan. Both now have adopted Sharia Law. Everywhere the US goes, out go the Christians and Jews and in comes Sharia law! But again, what difference does it make? Do you know the before and after percentages of non Muslims. Where are they going? How many have died? What difference does it make? The news media and Hollywood goes on a relentless bullying tear into the Boy Scouts and Chick-Fil-A. Why? Because the Boy Scouts do not want their young boys camping in the woods overnight with people that they are sexually attracted to, girls or boys. Truett Cathy defends traditional marriage and now all of a sudden we have a national crises. Forget the fact that gas prices are higher than when President Bush left office and are controlled by people who want the entire world to pray 5 times a day to Allah and be “straight” or off goes your head. So I ask you, what difference does it make? Do you care who dies for the cause of Sharia. Let’s remember the facts after the Benghazi Massacre. Susan Rice and President Obama promote the censorship of free speech to not mock Islam nor slander the prophet Mohammed and to push for a new UN treaty to ban such “inappropriate behavior”. Not real? This is now being implemented in the US Military. And speaking of our 1st Amendment rights, or abolishment thereof, the military is now considering making “Proselytizing” a court martial offense. But hey, that’s just the US government, helping to make Sharia law more acceptable, especially to the people like Hillary and her supporters who can’t see what difference it makes. Don’t agree, well don’t lose your head about it! So let’s summarize our position with the war on terrorism:

- Don’t ever preach in the name of Jesus and point out what the Bible declares about Him if you have any position in the government (even if you are a chaplain and the first legislative act of Congress was to require prayer at every meeting).
- Never make a video which could be interpreted by a Muslim as offensive or our President or Secretary of State will promise to have you “arrested and prosecuted”, even if it takes the IRS or some other branch of government to see to it.
- Never admit that the reason someone might yell Allah Akbar and then kill a bunch of people is that the Quran says multiple times that death in Jihad = eternity in paradise, always refuse to say anything that can be offensive about Islam while making a moral equivalent argument that the true home grown terrorist are people like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck who “rant and spill hate speech”.
- Use our military to force every mideast secular nation to bow their knee to the Muslim Brotherhood and accept Sharia law.
- Have the media avoid any references to the cause of death or dismembering of our military service personal by terrorists and if they have to mention such things then use terms such as: “Kinetic Military Action”, “Freedom Fighters”, “Civilians”, … when referring to the enemy. Oh my, I forgot, we have no enemies, we just have to learn to coexist.
- Never mention that we are holding terrorists in Guantanamo Bay and are force feeding them because they are protesting.
- Never mention that we outsource our torture requirements to other countries and pay them millions of dollars while slashing our military budget.
- Build a permanent Muslim monument at ground zero but block the rebuilding of a Christian Church.
- Force all who travel to be scanned and recorded, while frisking the elderly in wheelchairs and innocent little girls, while allowing knives but no sodas, also allowing “No Fly List” suspects to return to Jihad training centers in terrorist supporting nations, but hey, we don’t want the government to profile, except for the IRS and the White House when it comes the Christian and Jewish groups.
- Put in a worldwide effort to confiscate guns from law abiding citizens while sending guns to Mexico and Libya, buy up more ammo than at any time in our history, punish children for playing with toy guns and pretending they are Marines, never enforce current laws, hey look at Chicago, and make movies and TV shows that portray 2nd Amendment advocates as violent extremists, all from an industry that profits from the violence that is being mirrored out in society. Violent video games, evil music that dehumanized people and glorifies death and suicide, drug use, encouraging rebellion to the law, all these things are ok, nothing to see hear folks, let’s just move on.
- Have the military heads declare that “our greatest concerning is global warming”. That’s right, not a nuclear Korea or Iran who are inches away from having the technology to destroy America and Israel, China who holds so much of our debt that we would never stand in their way to the newest implementations of stealth Aircraft Carriers and Jet Bombers, or the selling of drone hardware to “friendly” Muslim countries.
- Equip the President of Egypt who urges that “hatred of Jews be instilled in their children”, with our best technology of (200) M1 Abrams Tanks, (16) F-16 Fighters and a big pot of our 17 trillion dollar debt because of the great threat that they have from Israel.
- Treat Israel like a criminal regime and call their President a liar, yep we heard that candid remark worldwide thanks to the media that is so silent about Bengasi. Also, let’s replace the name Jerusalem which is name used by our founders and used the Jihad name of “al Quds”.
- Put legislation in an immigration bill that will bring us much closer to a national biometric ID card or registration to a database that can be tracked and hacked by any federal agency, yet ignore current legislation that states clearly that illegal immigration will be enforced. Maybe we should change the inscription on the Statue of Liberty to read “Give me your tired your poor Your angry masses yearning to blow up the country”.

I really could go on and on but hey, “What Difference Does It Make?”

Don’t they see that it would be worse if they really didn’t know about all these things until they hear it from the media? That would be gross incompetence and whether they are incompetent or crooks, they need to go...
