In the midst of all the current turmoil, it is worthwhile to recall the fetid episode involving former Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, who in the fall of 2003 was caught stealing documents from the National Archives, which he later destroyed. The timing of Berger's action was thoroughly telling, occurring at the outset of Congressional hearings on the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The Department of Justice conducted its tepid investigation, and endeavored to whitewash the whole incident, no doubt in deference to George Bush's "new tone." Nevertheless, as a result of the few facts that did emerge, the only plausible conclusion was that Berger was attempting to obliterate historical evidence of the numerous failings of the Clinton Administration, and its ultimate culpability in leaving America vulnerable to the predations of Islamic terrorists.

Nevertheless, though the incriminating specifics of Clinton malfeasance may have been successfully eradicated by Berger's actions, the entire Clinton presidency was an inescapable indictment of the dangers reaped from national leadership bent on a liberal agenda, instead of responsibly serving the country. Clinton's terms in office were an ongoing succession of foolhardy ventures, ultimately subordinating the well being of the nation to the lunacy of his "politically correct" staff.

From the misdirection of government agencies such as the FBI and IRS to assail political enemies, to the deliberate compromise of vital security protocol in exchange for dubious campaign donations from the Communist Chinese, to the repeated fumbling of evidence that Islamic terrorist operations clearly pointed to a burgeoning threat, the Clinton agenda placed the advancement of liberalism as its primary goal, while presuming such ineptitude could continue indefinitely with no negative consequences.

Eventually, America paid an enormous price in blood for the games Clinton and his enablers played with matters of national security. Yet neither Clinton, nor any of his high-level minions including Berger, were ever held properly accountable for the damage they inflicted on this country. Thus it could be assured that whenever a like-minded administration came into power, the abhorrent pattern would be continued.

It would be bad enough if the abominable "Rightwing Extremism" report, released recently by the Department of Homeland Security, were evidence of only that. But the truth is far worse. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, in concert with Barack Obama, is laying the groundwork for a far grander and more sinister plan, which if suggested only a few years ago would have been instantly consigned to the realm of paranoid conspiracies. Such transparent deflections notwithstanding, the evidence is far too extensive to allow for deniability. This is the menacing reality of the Obama White House.

Obama has made claims of wanting to "unify" the nation. Yet few have properly grasped the actual intention, and thus the enormous danger posed by his goal. Unlike great former presidents, such as Ronald Reagan, who sought to bring the nation together by uplifting and inspiring, Obama seeks to ramrod his thoroughly leftist and countercultural agenda, while marginalizing and eventually silencing any opposition. Herein lies the "unity" under a tyranny.
