OPINION:
During the Clinton administration, Vice President Al Gore proclaimed a goal of “reinventing government.” President Obama proclaimed his goal of fundamentally transforming America.
Now the political left likes to claim that President Trump desires to shut down the media so he can become a tyrant. The left apparently fails to recognize the term “the people.” President Lincoln crafted it with his hope “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
“The people” as described by Lincoln have always been those who hold dear the America created by the Founding Fathers and who seek to prevent it from perishing to the visions of reinventors or transformers. It has been up to the people to maintain what our Fathers created.
Our media has become a tool of the political party that has sought reinvention and transformation of our government and nation. The “Fourth Estate” has made itself an enemy of the people.
