Chile con Carne
One of my
favorite Mexican dishes is chile con carne. Pondering the name reminded me of
another dishful that is being served up for the American people: Chilly con
Carney.
' Chilling' is
the description given to pressure applied to the Press that causes them to be
more cautious, more quiet, less active, less vibrant. This occurs when the
government becomes oppressive, intimidates, and treats its citizens and Press
with a heavy hand. Jay 'Carney' is the White House press secretary. So, here is
the recipe: add some beans, some Constitutional infringements, some Carney, some
hot air, then allow to chill and whala…..Chilly con Carney!
The recent
investigation launched against Fox newsman James Rosen and several other
Associated Press reporters by President Obama’s Justice Department was said to
have had a ‘chilling effect’on news reporting in America. The head of the
Department of Justice, Eric Holder, testified before Congress saying he had no
involvement in the investigation and come to find out his signature is on the
warrant. America’s top law enforcement official calls into question the
integrity of others; now that is calling the kettle black! Mr. Carney and Mr.
Holder, under the leadership of Mr.Obama, have put the 1st and
4thAmendments in their policy pressure cooker as they try to
transform America into an unrecognizable stew.
Mr. Carney,
Mr. Holder, and Mr. Obama have been on the hot plate as the media’s love affair
with this administration has finally chilled. I’d be lying if I said I did not
enjoy the media finally turning up the heat on this administration and finally
asking some tough questions. As the media was dead on arrival defending our
right to bear arms, they have really come alive for their right to free speech.
But, if the narcoleptic Press falls asleep at the dinner table again, We The
People must stand up and defend the Constitution. Let me be clear (that’s Obama
speak), this assault to chill the citizens through IRS intimidation and
harassment, and its Press through unreasonable wire tapping, is unacceptable.
