Posted on December 6, 2010 at 9:29amThis gets more frightening day by day.
They have been brainwashing their liberal base for years, and now that they are just about ready to impose dictatorial rule on the United States, liberal Democrats are actually welcoming it.
I can’t see this ending in anything but violence.
Nearly half of all Americans DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT BEING FREE REALLY IS. So how can they possibly understand that they could lose their freedom forever.
I know we are a nation of laws, but how far does this all go before we have to stop it physically? They certainly won’t listen to us, and they seem hell bent on destroying the Constitution.

Posted on December 7, 2010 at 1:14pmUnfortunately we napped for too long and awakened in the fourth quarter. Maybe enough time on the clock to turn it around but I think this is how it has to be because of sad choices or no choices being made by us to pass down to the next generation our values and to have them understand how our system works, who are the players, what are the methods used to manage people, what is socialism, what is progressivism and so on.
I decided last night to have a long sit down with my son 15. To start explaining how we got here working back from WWII and moving forward. Understsanding the culture as I do and understanding geopolitics, foreign policy and the mindset of the progressive helps. The next generation will be lost if each of us does not do this daily to weekly with our kids.
Vote all you want, the problem lays deeper and starts with our kids. You gotta hope that by the time they get a family of their own maybe in the thirties that the light comes on. We need to close this gap and fast. They indoc our kids daily at school and so does the culture. You should have some input to make sure they know what their looking at instead of leaving them to form a false world view of the left. just a thought.

Posted on December 6, 2010 at 9:14amThe problem is that there are still too many citizens thinking independently and not toeing the Democrat Party line. The gubmint is doing it’s best through public schools to dumb down the populace and beat the great unwashed into submission, but it’s still not happening fast enough for them. They have concluded that state-controlled and state-written programming is the best way to control the masses. I have no doubt that they will contort the law (big surprise there) to “find” that their power also extends to all cable broadcasts as well. Remember, the Constitution is a speed bump to them, not a wall.

I was politely trying to inform the public of this in the late 1980′s. Nobody was interested in hearing me speak about it then, when (to me) the handwriting was already on the wall with all of the gun control, the so called “war on drugs” and emerging warantless roadside random “sobriety tests”.
You can never, ever giver politicians more power than they’re constitutionally permitted. Gun control via the BATF turned into “rule by unelected government fiat” as we’re seeing now as expanded Czarist rule, the war on drugs became the “war on terror” became the “war on everything with no defined enemy”, and warantless roadside searches became “you will let us grab your crotch and photo you naked…or ELSE!”
And there’s more coming. I really wish people would listen to me, and there are times when I’ve wondered if I was perhaps a reincarnation of the mythological Casandra.

When both Hitler and Mussolini came to power their first act was to assume total control of the media. It seems that this lesson wasn’t lost on the FCC. Can the FCC extend its Congressional Mandate to establish a group of street thugs named after the color of the shirt. Mussolini had his “Blackshirts”. Hitler had his “Brownshirts”. It would be appropriate for the FCC’s hoodlums to be named “Blueshirts.” Of course, his thugs can’t be effective until the citizens are disarmed.

That is to say if your local cable provider owns a site or is paid by a site they could direct you to it.

Re: “Net Neutrality”
The term “Net Neutrality”, as it is commonly known and understood, is a rather basic concept that says a carrier may not discriminate against content depending on who originates it, and forbids “double-dipping”, ie charging both the end-user and the website/service the end-user is connecting to for the same data.
These concepts could be enshrined in law with a bill a few pages and a few hundred words long, at most. Why is the legislation they propose a thousand-plus pages long and read like some cryptic, coded clue document from the movie “The DaVinci Code” or “National Treasure”?
It’s not that people who are against *this* “Net Neutrality” legislation are against the concepts behind a “level playing field” on the internet such as I had described above. They would be fine if that’s all that was in what they actually propose. What they object to is what is in the other 999 pages of what should be a one-page piece of legislation.
Unlike Congress, we actually like to know what’s in the bill before the bill is passed.
Although from the looks of things, it doesn’t much matter what Congress does anymore. The Czars and Federal Department bureaucracies have pretty much bypassed Congress and do as they please.
The new Representatives taking their seats in January will have a long list of things to de-fund, now including the FCC. Nearly every single thing Copps discussed in those clips are things the FCC has no business concerning itself with and NO power to regulate it, other than the threat of showing up with lots of big men with guns, as they have no Constitutional power to do the things Copps proposes.

Posted on December 6, 2010 at 2:04pmCount me in as another Ohioan, Cincinnati area. And related to one of the newest congressmen from Columbus. During Thanksgiving, I asked him if he was going to de-fund PBS and NPR. He kind of avoided the question by saying he couldn’t do anything alone.

Posted on December 6, 2010 at 3:09pmWorst case scenario, the Red Roach re-elects himself in 2012. Things will get ugly, meaning you should have an escape/protection plan for your kids. Commies hold patriots hostage through their kids. For starters, Glenn is wrong about homeschooling in that you will not be allowed to homeschool your kids. That is a given. Your children will belong to the State. Please prepare.
