On the evening of December 7, 1941 Orson Wells was scheduled to put on a live performance on the Gulf Screen Guild Theater radio program.  He put on a remarkable presentation called:  “Between Americans.”  Wells did a brilliant job of explaining what is so special about this country.   One of the things he pointed out is that Americans get upset when they see injustice.  That is because our shared heritage is the freedom from tyranny and oppression.  Here, even if we don’t agree with someone, we still stand up for them if they are treated unfairly.  It is what distinguishes us from the rest of the world.

The Obama administration appears to have been abusing power for some time.  It doesn’t get much worse than using the IRS to target political appointees. Or so I thought.  Now we know it can get worse, much worse.   Incredibly the DOJ, who can’t seem to find the time to investigate Fast & Furious, Benghazi, or the IRS scandal is sanctimoniously launching an investigation of Chris Christie.  Then The DOJ doubled down by indicting Dinesh D’Souza for making an undisclosed $20,000 campaign contribution.  How obvious can you get?  This is particularly disgusting when you compare what D’Souza did to the bizarre story of Hillary Clinton and Peter Franklin Paul.

Just as Orson Wells pointed out on a bleak winter evening in 1941, the American people tend to become outraged at this kind of crap.  There are already signs that the main stream media is waking up.  Don Lemon pointed out that Barack Obama blaming Fox News and Rush Limbaugh for misleading the American public is absurd.

It is quite possible that the feeding frenzy on Duck Dynasty, Chris Christie and now Dinesh D’ Souza was a huge mistake.  The Republican establishment has been terrified to investigate this President or anyone else.  They seem more worried about hurting Hillary Clinton’s feelings than asking her legitimate questions.  People were already furious about the lack of action.  Now this restraint has been repaid with a witch-hunt assault on two top Republicans for a traffic jam and a $20,000 campaign contribution.  Don’t be surprised if frustration changes to rage.

When you combine this with the complete collapse of ObamaCare and some really scary economic news, a lot of people are really upset.  This truly is the winter of our discontent and we should all be prepared for stormy weather.
