Since that campus speech, we have been hearing lots about negative things like spying on reporters, the IRS targeting conservative groups and the real story about what happened before, during and after the deadly Benghazi attacks. The president warned graduates about the “voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister en- tity that’s at the root of all our problems…They’ll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner…reject these voices.” Our president has apparently forgotten Thomas Jefferson who cautioned that “every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone.” Or how about James Madison the “Father of the Constitution” that government is power and ‘will ever be liable to abuse.” (Continued on Page 14) City Councilor Sal LaMattina introduced at the Memorial Day concert.
