Under the cover of “net Neutrality”, the Obama administration has moved closer to regulating free speech on the internet.
Vis:
- In April, the Supreme Court threw out the FCC rule that dictated whether or not internet providers could throttle users of programs like BitTorrent.
- Not happy with the SCOTUS affront to POTUS, last week, the FCC declared that the Internet is a public utility. if this stands, the government can control content — your free speech, your RIGHT to disagree with the policies of this (or any) government. It makes, as Pamela Geller writes, Obama the Julius Caesar of the Internet.
- Should you worry? Hell yes!
On Saturday in Virginia, Obama gave a speech where he said:
And meanwhile, you’re coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don’t always rank that high on the truth meter. And with iPods and iPads; and Xboxes and PlayStations — none of which I know how to work — (laughter) — information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation. So all of this is not only putting pressure on you; it’s putting new pressure on our country and on our democracy.
What the hey ?! Free flow of “information” is putting pressure on our democracy?
This is a very disturbing set of events.
I just spent the last few weeks in France, watching the local Progressive politicians argue over who should pay for what failure.
I was stunned by a report in the International Tribune that described Germany’s dilemma: Thrifty German citizens are being asked to bailed out profligate spending Greeks … or bailout the German banks that invested in Greek bonds.
What about a third option? LET THEM FAIL AND LET THE BANKS AND THE GREEKS PAY FOR THE DECISIONS THEY MADE?
This bailout mentality has gripped the (once) civilized world. I’m depressed about the future and I am personally look for ways to protect myself from the insanity going on.
- CNN: Andersen Cooper invented the gay-sexual-label “tea-bagger” to describe the tea party movement.
- Time Magazine: has accused Glenn Beck of spreading sedition for not liking Obama.
- NBC: Kelly O’Donnell asked a black man at a tea party if he felt comfortable.
- Barack Obama: Last weekend scorned the tea party protesters, saying they should be “thankful”.
- SEIU: who set up anti-teaparty websites. What does a union have to do with taxpayer concerns? And isn’t SEUI head Andy Stern on the Presidential costs panel … while he backs anti-citizens rhetoric?
These and many are following the Alinsky Rules for Radicals .
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
The good news is, that in the long run, evil always loses to goodness. And that may start as soon as this November.
If you haven’t yet browsed Mish’s site, take a look at today’s rant. His site is full of articles that document the coming battle between public sector unions and taxpayers.
The big challenge for us is that unions have their man, socialist Barack Obama, in power. With “advisers” like Andy Stern, head of SEIU, and avowed Communists and socialists running all over the in the White House (Anita Dunn, Van Jones, and now Jim Wallis) ….
It will be a battle royale! Unions really don’t care about taxpayers. They only care about 3 things: power, more power and the union itself. Even its members are expendable.
The cry “workers of the world, unite” has gone out and this White House is leading the disembowelment of America.
Found this on YouTube. Excellent contrast showing that Obama is clearly a radical socialist!
