In the late spring of 1972, two break-ins at the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C. led to one of the most significant events in American history…The resignation of the President. To be clear, it was not the break-ins that brought down Nixon. It was the cover-up OF the break-ins which damaged his presidency well beyond repair.
It took 2 years of intense investigations and a handful of stories in the press which relied on an unnamed source, identified at the time only as…Deep Throat…to shift public opinion, focus attention on the administration and eventually, force the resignation of Richard Nixon, the ONLY United States President ever to resign the office.
It has often been said that to ignore history is the most certain way to repeat it. While the adage stands as a stark warning it may well not go far enough. Ignoring the present may be the most certain way to render the lessons of history a mere whisper of the tumultuous days to come.
That is where we find ourselves as a nation today. The lessons of mid 1970s are being ignored and the faint whispers of pretense are being hushed.
Since 1972 and Nixon’s resignation in 1974, each and every purported scandal regarding any political entity has had the word “Gate” added to it as a suffix, almost as if the “Gate” in Watergate was a separate word. It wasn’t.
beyond all the rest.
It’s amazing really, how, day in and day out, liberals just seem to ignore common sense.
We are now less than 2 weeks away from opening arguments in the United States Supreme Court regarding Obamacare. The Court will take up the case starting on March 26th and hear arguments through March 28th.
their office for the last couple of months. That flag, with its red and white stripes, had a field of blue but, instead of stars, 50 of them, it bore the image of Obama’s face.
Friends and fellow Patriots!!! The time has arrived. The time is now.
Tom Perez, the head of the Texas Civil Rights Division, sent a whopping 6-page letter to the Texas Director of Elections stating, “Texas has not ‘sustained its burden’ under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act to show that the new law will not have a discriminatory effect on minority voters.”
liberals LOVE Planned Parenthood. Along with horrible a deep feeling of hatred toward races other than white, Sanger also held some interesting ideas concerning…birth control and why it is necessary.
