It's really obvious that this "transparency" thing originated with Grimm's Fairy Tales. Why, for example, did the President see fit to grant Executive Privilege to Eric Holder to keep him from telling the secrets about Fast & Furious? Why is the Administration stonewalling it over the Benghazi Massacre? If there's truly and absolutely no conspiracy in the IRS / conservative scandal, why is the White House refusing to come clean with relevant documents?
All of this leads me to the NSA domestic spying program. You have virtually every dimwit in Washington assuring us that they're not listening and watching us. Do they have the capabilities to do that? Yes. Will they tell us just exactly what they are doing with this technology then? No... that's a secret.
Well, just why would our government want to keep secrets from us? The most common and blatant reason is... they're doing something illegal or totally unethical and they don't want us to know about it. Perhaps that is why they are now proposing that it be a criminal offense for a news outlet to repeat, print or broadcast a whistle blower's story, even if it is correct. This stance is couched in the argument that, if you bring stolen goods to a news reporter and he keeps them, he's guilty of receiving stolen goods; therefore, if the reporter accepts and prints a story from a whistle blower about illegal government activities, the reporter is guilty of stealing national secrets.
I don't know about you, but I've had my fill of this Obama "transparency." I intend to tell my Congressional delegation to put a stop to it. How about you? Wouldn't you really like to know the full story behind Benghazi?
Illegitimi non carborundum.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
