Feds to control Internet speech?

Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:10:13 GMT

You knew it would come to this, didn't you? Within the threat of imposing a "fairness doctrine" to the airways, Henry Waxman -- Democrat watchdog of all things conservative -- has censuring the Internet in his sights. We've been warned .... The Prower has more insight:

Waxman is also interested, say sources, in looking at how the Internet is being used for content and free speech purposes. "It's all about diversity in media," says a House Energy staffer, familiar with the meetings. "Does one radio station or one station group control four of the five most powerful outlets in one community? Do four stations in one region carry Rush Limbaugh, and nothing else during the same time slot? Does one heavily trafficked Internet site present one side of an issue and not link to sites that present alternative views? These are some of the questions the chairman is thinking about right now, and we are going to have an FCC that will finally have the people in place to answer them."

As for the "Fairness Doctrine," a name change isn't going to change the goal of controlling speech.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee is also looking at how it can put in place policies that would allow it greater oversight of the Internet. "Internet radio is becoming a big deal, and we're seeing that some web sites are able to control traffic and information, while other sites that may be of interest or use to citizens get limited traffic because of the way the people search and look for information," says on committee staffer. "We're at very early stages on this, but the chairman has made it clear that oversight of the Internet is one of his top priorities." "This isn't just about Limbaugh or a local radio host most of us haven't heard about," says Democrat committee member. "The FCC and state and local governments also have oversight over the Internet lines and the cable and telecom companies that operate them. We want to get alternative views on radio and TV, but we also want to makes sure those alternative views are read, heard and seen online, which is becoming increasingly video and audio driven. Thanks to the stimulus package, we've established that broadband networks -- the Internet -- are critical, national infrastructure. We think that gives us an opening to look at what runs over that critical infrastructure." Also involved in "brainstorming" on "Fairness Doctrine and online monitoring has been the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, which has published studies pressing for the Fairness Doctrine, as well as the radical MoveOn.org, which has been speaking to committee staff about policies that would allow them to use their five to six million person database to mobilize complaints against radio, TV or online entities they perceive to be limiting free speech or limiting opinion.

Plans now are "hush hush" until Obama's new FCC nominee, Julius Genachowski is confirmed. Let's hope that proponents of free speech on both sides of the aisle stand up and put Julius Genachowski through serious hearings before another Obamatron is rubber-stamped. Or maybe Obama and his minions need to see what a TRUE bipartisan campaign looks like.

Census to ACORN? Out of Afghanistan?

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 18:41:22 GMT

Inquiring minds who care about American want to know!!!

from Over the Hill Oracles:

The answer to the census question may be decided by the Supreme Court, but watch Obama�s clandestine maneuvers to assign �responsibility� for the census from the Secretary of Commerce to the White House.

Here�s the law:

The Congress, by law directed that:

�The Secretary [of Commerce] shall perform the functions and duties imposed upon him by this title, may issue such rules and regulations as he deems necessary to carry out such functions and duties, and may delegate the performance of such functions and duties and the authority to issue such rules and regulations to such officers and employees of the Department of Commerce as he may designate.�

Credit those folks over at Samizdata �.

As I read it, the Director of the Census must, by law, be within the Department of Commerce and under the direction of the (Senate approved) Secretary of Commerce who then reports to the president. Am I missing something?
Correction: From reading through Title 13, Chapter 1 it appears obvious to me that the POTUS has no role in the census whatsoever beyond, with Senate approval, selecting the Secretary of Commerce and, also with Senate approval, selecting the Director of the Census who � shall perform such duties as may be imposed upon him by law, regulations, or orders of the Secretary.� Hhmmm� No president mentioned.

The Secretary of Commerce is the only authority the law recognizes. Since as commenter Laird points out, the Constitution did not place the census function in Article II - the Executive branch but in Article I - the Legislative branch, it is not at all within the President�s reach unless the legislature places it there.

And watch for Obama to still try and put ACORN in charge of the census �.

Any question about WHY there are so many Obama-watch sites on the web???

More blurbs from the blogs:

� Stimulus Plan (Porkarama) updates are here �.

Biden: Ignore the voters

HERE�S a good question: why doesn�t Obama tell us specifically HOW this money will resolve his �now or never� crisis? We won�t see any jobs outta this political payback package for years.

� Obama has again voted �present� on this bogus stimulus plan. How to hype a crisis in two steps �. So where exactly is the change we (?) hoped for??? Forget it. It�s the same ole way with a Chicago twist �.

� BREAKING: Obama tells Gates to �stand down� on the troop surge in Afghanistan �..

Is he looking for �out� in Afghanistan???

� World opinion on Obama is fading �.

From London to America: What have you done?

Pakistan to the US: Show us the money!!!

Russia forms Alliance with six central Asian nations: Take THAT, America.

Ecuador expels US Embassy official: South America rejects the �Chicago way� �

� USS Cole mom is disgusted with Obama �. article and video

Pending: More and more parents and (retired) naval personnel are speaking out about the way the killers of their loved ones are being released �.

Obama Crashes DC Party

OH MY!!!!!!!!!!

The audacity of that man! Who's he think he is??? PEOTUS???????

Obama: Hyping the Rhetoric

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 20:06:51 GMT

Don't believe the hype and audacity of a man who would "buy" the Presidency of the United States. Don't believe his lies about social security and health care benefits, tax reductions or his economic plans. Don't fall for the fallacies in his campaign rhetoric.

Vote your conscience and your values. Vote John McCain and Sarah Palin for theirs.

Vote for your future and that of your children's children.

"A few years ago, after it became clear that some infants who were born alive in the course of an attempted induced [late term] abortion at Christ Hospital in Chicago and elsewhere were being left to die without even comfort care, Republicans and Democrats around the country united in an effort to make the practice illegal and declare that any child outside the womb, even if she was an abortion survivor whose prospects for long-term survival might be in doubt, was entitled to basic medical care. Even the most ardent advocates of the pro-choice position agreed that a child born alive, even after an attempted abortion, deserves humane treatment."

Only one person spoke against "Live Birth" legislation in Illinois in 2002. That person was state Senator Barack Obama.
In the last presidential debate, Barack Obama lied about his reasons for speaking against that legislation -- as he has lied about other policies and aspects of his life.

Only John McCain and Sarah Palin have stood before America and demonstrated (not simply talked about) their universal support of the values of life, faith and family -- the traditional values, the very tenets of our culture and heritage. Please vote for them on November 4 (or in an early ballot). Our nation needs their integrity, their demonstrated leadership and their resolve to lead us forward.

OBAMA: 9/11 was "a failure of empathy"

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 06:17:23 GMT

Eight days after the tragedy of September 11, 2001, Obama -- the man who would be Commander in Chief -- blamed the terrorist attacks on "a failure of empathy."

The July 20 issue of the New Yorker magazine got a lot of attention for its cover, which carried a "satirical" cartoon depicting Michelle and Barack Obama that Obama supporters found tasteless and offensive. Buried inside that issue's feature story, however, was a reaction by Obama to 9/11 that all voters should find even more tasteless and offensive.

The article reprised a piece published in Chicago's Hyde Park Herald on Sept. 19, 2001, and written by a then-unknown and otherwise undistinguished state senator from Illinois. The senator, a former community organizer, wrote that after tightening security at our airports and repairing our intelligence networks, we "must also engage . . . in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness."

According to Barack Obama, the madness that drove terrorists to turn passenger jets into manned cruise missiles aimed at our centers of finance, government and military power "grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair."

As if the answer to the attacks should have been food stamps for al-Qaida.

Sen. Obama advised caution and warned of overreacting. "We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad," he wrote. "We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent."

We should also be just as concerned, he felt, with American anger and bigotry as we were about al-Qaida.

In an opinion piece in Commentary magazine, writer Abe Greenwald commented on Obama's belief that the 9/11 attacks were rooted in poverty and despair. "Strange," he called it, "considering our attackers were wealthy and educated, connected and ecstatic."

As Greenwald put it, Obama "could have asked (terrorist and colleague) Bill Ayers, 'Bill, did your 'failure of empathy' stem from your impoverished upbringing as the son of the CEO of Commonwealth Edison?" Did poverty and despair also cause the Weather Underground member and host of Obama's first fundraiser to bomb government buildings?

Fact is, the roster of terrorists and their handlers reads like a list of of Ivy Leaguers:

Osama bin Laden, the son of a Saudi billionaire, studied engineering. Khalid Sheik Mohammed, architect of 9/11 and other major attacks, has a degree in mechanical engineering. Mohammed Atta, who flew a jet into the World Trade Center, is the son of a lawyer and earned a master's degree in urban planning at Hamburg University. Ayman al-Zawahri is an eye surgeon. Seven doctors were involved in the London-Glasgow bomb plots.

You get the idea, even if Barack Obama doesn't.

In a speech before a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001, President Bush pointed out the real reasons Islamofascists hate us: "They hate what they see right here in this chamber � a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms: our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other."

Bush aptly called the 9/11 terrorists and their ilk "the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century."

"By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism," he said.

Knowing the nature of your enemy is the key to victory. On the seventh anniversary of 9/11, we should all thank President Bush for keeping America safe. Along the way, he brought freedom and democracy to the Middle East, draining the terrorist swamp.

Bush gets it. So does John McCain. This is one thing we shouldn't want to change.

I have no idea how Obama's comments have failed to resonate with the American people. Hopefully, those words will resonate before it's too late.

The Pasta Diet

Sun, 05 Aug 2007 21:24:40 GMT

The Pasta Diet

1) You walka pasta da bakery.
2) You walka pasta da candy store.
3) You walka pasta da Ice Cream shop.
4) You walka pasta da table and fridge.

And for those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all the conflicting medical studies:

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausage and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

What is the CFR?

Sat, 07 Jul 2007 23:42:43 GMT

The Council on Foreign Relations. Learn all you can. Fast. This is the organization that is actually behind the idea that America "become" part of the North America Union.

Don't believe the denials.

To join the NAU, our national sovereignty will be sacrificed. If you follow the progression of legislation giving "authority" to private and corporate groups, you will see the links between the recent immigration reform, the SuperHighway, the Kansas City SuperPort, and existing agreements between Mexico, Canada and the United States --- all endeavors taken without implicit Congressional approval or awareness by the American public.

Take the time to listen HERE to understand what we face as a nation, who is behind the NAU push and who will benefit from it.

Happy 4th of July!

We're not whispering about our pride in our nation.

Happy birthday, America!!!

May you have many, many more ....
