Freedom Of Speech It Seems That, Depends On Who's Talking.

  I just hate it when something breaks down at my house and a costly repair is required to fix the problem. I discovered  recently however, that the sewer line going into my home had a leak in it and had to be fixed and after quite a substantial cost I was able to have the leak repaired. I guess that's just part of the responsibility that comes with owning a home.
  I have noticed in the news that the White House,  has had it's share of problems dealing with leaks. I have a feeling if they don't get a serious handle on this problem and soon the cost to our nation as far as national security is concerned could be very great indeed. Leaks in Washington and the White House is certainly nothing new. I can remember leaks in the press during the Watergate scandal and things really haven't changed that much in Washington or the White House,  for that matter since then. What is different however,  is the kind of leaks the White House,  must deal with and answer for.These leaks threaten this nations national security not to mention America's credibility when it comes to the necessity of being able to keep international secrets. How can America ask our allies to work with us if they feel they can not trust us to keep our mouth shut!
  The White House it would seem has no problem placing political pressure on California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, to keep her mouth shut. one day on the news  Senator Feinstein, says,  that the White House,  needs to understand that the leaks in the press are coming from their own ranks and then the next day she walks back the entire statement she made the day before. the White House,  appears to be applying political pressure on Senator Feinstein,  and in essence telling her what she can say and what she cannot say. The last time I checked Senator Feinstein, was still an American,  and is guaranteed the right of free speech according to the Constitution of the United States. Sometimes,  I think if your involved in politics your freedom of speech is depends a lot on who's doing the talking. I am left with the impression, that if your a Democrat in Washington and you are in anyway connected to the White House,  your freedom of speech is only free after it has been filtered by a member of the White House staff. Think about this if the White House can tell Senator Feinstein, what she can, and cannot say when she talks to the media how much longer will it be before the governments tells every American citizen what they can and cannot say? You see, when a nation, begins to let government do everything for them it isn't long be fore the government has the power to do everything to them as well and everything government provides it can threaten to take away unless one says and does what the government tells them to. Many in the press and the media, are saying they feel Senator Feinstein, was Bookered referring of course to Democratic New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker. Cory Booker,  spoke his mind and said he found President Obama's attacks on Mitt Romney's business record at Bain Capital,  nauseating just hours later due to pressure from the White House Cory Booker was forced to walk that statement back. I have to ask, what kind of freedom of speech is that? II Corinthians, 3:17 says,"Where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty." I'm afraid if President Obama along with all the other liberal progressives in government have their way the Bible,  may be the last place one will even find the word liberty and that's only if you will still have the liberty and freedom to even read the Bible. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
