Tea Party got you in, Tea Party will put you out on your very next election. How does it feel to be one of a few single term senators?

This will send a signal to others who think they can change up after election.

sad though

Eminent Domain and Borders

Another case of Federal Government gone mad. We have a flood across our southern border and they want to bully a family farm into selling their property dirt cheap so a multimillion dollar facility can be built at a crossing of maybe 3 vehicles an hour.

Quote for the day

“The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can
shield the people from the political, economic and/or military
consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for
the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the
truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension,
the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.”
— Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels

Goodbye Isakson, Hello Donovan!

I am very excited about this race. A great Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate, running against Johnny Isakson. An extremely good chance of beating Isakson as most of us Georgians of any party are tired of the back room negotiations and posturing by this so-called Blue Dog Democrat Isakson.

Campaign motto is simple and straight to the point, "The mission is freedom. The vision is now."

Be sure and check out his website even if not from Georgia as he discusses issues that affect all states.

10 steps to fascism in America

Ran across this by accident. The writer is talking about George Bush but if you look at the ten steps I swear she is even more talking about Obama! Bush may have started it with the Patriot Act but the Big O is carrying it over the cliff:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/apr/24/usa.comment

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy -

Internal has to be all those crazy right wing extremists! External, could be loosely applied to supposed man made global warming



2. Create a gulag -

Hmmm, wonder if after they move MSM and company from Gitmo to that new prison in Illinois if they'll put anyone else there?


3. Develop a thug caste

Oh this has to be ACORN and SEIU.


4. Set up an internal surveillance system

Drones over NY? Scan the internet? Or worse CONTROL the internet?


5. Harass citizens' groups

Yep, gotta be the Tea Party.


6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release

Holdren and other Czars of Obama would love to find an excuse to round up some of the right wing, infact wasn't there a memo about them and others being probable internal threats to America?


7. Target key individuals

Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck?

8. Control the press

Well they already control NBC/MSNBC. Pretty soon the Feds will buy up newspapers that are "too big to fail".

9. Dissent equals treason

DUH, do I even need to say anything?


10. Suspend the rule of law

They believe more in the "rule of man" and look for excuses to invoke more restrictions.

Free Press and Net Neutrality

The progressives are not anything if not creative in their nomenclature. What could be more peaceful and reassuring than a free press right?

In this day of focus groups, closing one door only to open another under another guise, we find Free Press, a media advocacy group has won the prize for deflecting negative attention by using a name that just gives you the warm fuzzies.

They are also at the center of the net neutrality efforts.

Our Purpose

Media play a huge role in our lives. TV, radio, the Internet, movies, books and newspapers inform and influence our ideas, opinions, values and beliefs. They shape our understanding of the world and give us the information we need to hold our leaders accountable. But our media system is failing.

This failure isn't natural. For far too long, corrupt media policy has been made behind closed doors in the public's name but without our informed consent. If we want better media, we need better media policies. If we want better policies, we must engage more people in policy debates and demand better media.

Basically they would have more government involvement, reduce the availability of news source to a "local" level and remove capitalist competition including rights to intellectual property. That's music, movies, books etc., to the likes of you and me.

People say what's wrong with that? Even Rick Carnes of the Huffington Post has a problem with that:

"The bottom line is that Free Press is pretty explicit in their desire to wipe out every significant media business - news, movies, music, cable and telecommunications - and replace them with some sort of government facsimile, all to further McChesney's abstract revolutionary vision. They say they are for a free press and independent media, but how free and independent can media be when the government is paying the bills. As a longtime advocate of freedom of speech and expression in creative works, I worry greatly about the government becoming too involved in the information, media and creative industries. Don't you?"

Too much ado about nothing? Maybe. But I like to know the players and Robert McChesney, co-founder of Free Press is quite the character:

"There is no real answer, but to remove, brick by brick, the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles."

That is his plan. In an interview he gives a little insite into how this has been an ongoing plan with the left: “What should we do about the problem of the media?” There was a traditional Left response available at the time: “we understand that the media is not separate from, but an integral part of how capitalist power is upheld in society; when we make the revolution or the revolution just happens, the problem of the media will be resolved then.”

Not if but when the revolution happens.
