Free State Patriot

The double standard by which liberals comport themselves, on a local and national level, when holding politicians accountable for the truth, is shameful. And it’s damaging our country.

For the past eight years, our nation has been deluged with debilitating lies from the Obama administration and the GOP establishment. In addition to calling out the GOP for their feckless behavior, I’ve often called for progressives to address this “protocol of prevarication” which seems prerequisite for driving their agenda.

But the silence has been deafening. Liberals seem content to cower beneath the progressive banner of shameful innocence and plausible deniability.

Obamacare, for example, was passed on a series of undeniable lies and is now faltering beneath its own weight of unsustainability, yet progressives are still telling us it’s working and that most Americans support it.

With so many lies never having been adequately addressed by the left, it’s the epitome of hypocrisy to rally behind destroying Donald Trump one month into his presidency!

Could this “rebel yell” to sabotage President Trump be an orchestrated one?

After eight years of “not” seeing the need to make this change, days before President Obama left the White House, he issued an executive order making it easier for the nation’s intelligence agencies to share information.

Per a “New York Times” report, in its final days, the Obama administration expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share “globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies, before applying privacy protections.”

Obama’s timing is interesting, considering in the last few days, several intelligence insiders have come forward to describe a “shadow government” of sorts, purposely leaking classified information designed to derail the Trump presidency.

Last week, multiple news sources, including the The Washington Free Beacon, reported top members of the Obama administration national security team may have pre-emptively “launched a communications infrastructure” that would benefit them after leaving the White House, and have told reporters they’re using this network to “undermine Trump’s foreign policy.”

Last week, national security advisor, Michael Flynn, resigned following his apparent “misreporting” of his conversations with the Russian government, which were illegally exposed through information leaked from intelligence sources.

Could this have been the shadow government’s first victory?

The Beacon reported Flynn’s resignation was the result of a “secret, months-long campaign by former Obama administration confidantes to handicap President Donald Trump’s national security apparatus” per multiple sources in and out of the White House.

The notion that Barack Hussein Obama and his liberal conspirators would plan and orchestrate, for all intents and purposes, a coup d’tat, against the Trump administration is beyond the pale and could easily be described as traitorous, if it’s true.

How ironic that such an action is reminiscent of the failed Soviet Union, when it’s liberal Democrats now claiming it’s President Trump with insider ties to Russia.

This isn’t simply an attack on the Trump presidency. It’s an attack on our freedom!

If America ever needed the voices of patriots to be heard above the fray, we need to hear them now.
