THE PEOPLE SPEAK: Fears raised by Obama treatment of Fox News

America you must not become a nation that passively supports a president that targets news networks, trade associations or private individuals’ income, as in the case of President Obama’s current attacks of Fox News, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Wall Street executives.

It does not matter if you care for, like or agree with Fox News, the Chamber or even Wall Street. If we the people silently watch the political class attack, marginalize and threaten them, it will only be a short while before they do so to the rest of us. If the freedoms of speech, assembly and private property can be limited for a “politically incorrect” few, then how much longer before you and I, the average Americans, will live in permanent fear of losing those same freedoms by daring to speak out? Or shall we all end up going quietly into slavery to our elected masters?

No matter if you are a liberal, conservative or moderate, you should all be gravely concerned with the current behavior of our nation’s chief executive towards private individuals, associations and companies.
