I thought Watergate was the worst scandal I had seen. The cover up showed how big government and groupthink work. Utter disregard for the intelligence of the public. Until the way the Obama administration has treated the terror attack on our embassy in Libya. The fourth estate is useless at this point and act more like Pravda than investigative news organizations. I had a smidge of personal experience with this sort of thing in 2008. At least with Watergate, no one lost their life.

Then there is Univision. They actually did some investigation and uncovered facts on Fast and Furious. Another Obama administration boondoggle that cost American lives, and Mexican lives.

Lakota Sioux secede from the US. Does this mean we can stop paying them and take over their casinos for the tax money?
