The left, headed by liberals in the Congress and Barack Obama, are building a four legged stool for all of us to be pinned under. And when this dubious gift is completed, they will have succeeded in transforming our country into the Socialist and Marxist paradise they have envisioned. After all, Barack Obama himself said in his closed door meeting with House Republicans he met with just after his inauguration that he would rather be a one term President that got his agenda passed than a two term President who didn’t.
So what are the “legs” of this scheme?
Takeover of many of the banks, financial systems, and insurers. These include Bailouts, Stimulus, owning 2 out of 3 of the US auto makers, etc
Status: COMPLETED…
Nationalized Healthcare.
Status: IN PROGRESS…
Controlling the air and environment—via Cap and Trade scheme.
Status: IN PROGRESS…
And the one I am discussing here-
Control of Communications via shutting down opposition talk radio and controlling the internet in the name of national security.
Status: IN PROGRESS...
It was revealed this week that West Virginia Democrat and loyal liberal, Jay Rockefeller and RINO Olympia Snowe (R-ME) submitted a “revised” bill to the Senate that had been drafted in secret for months. The 55 page bill allows the President to seize control of private computer networks during a so-called cybernet security threat!
This is unbelievable and unacceptable and must be stopped. Civil liberties groups—including the ACLU—have come out against this and internet companies so it is a clear violation of privacy. That is the understatement of the year! This is what Marxists do in Communist countries! Hugo Chavez in Venezuela just took over the media in that country for basically the same reason. But after all, Chavez and Obama are dictator soul mates and believe the ends justify the means when it comes to ramming your agenda through that, if the people knew the details of, what outwardly reject. Why do you think Obama wanted healthcare passed in August before the break?
Who is going to determine what a “threat” is? What will be the criteria for enabling this power? Who will monitor it? This is one of the scariest things I have ever heard any politician ever suggest in this country.
This is the ultimate means to control and shut up the opposition or anyone that criticizes the administration regardless of what side of the political spectrum they are on! All it will take is the administration to come to the public with a phantom threat from China, Russia, or otherwise and say he has to enact the power. Who will be able to question it?? Certainly not us!! The implications for this are so far reaching it is almost inconceivable and this is yet another huge usurpation of Executive power…
Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison must be getting queasy from rolling over in their graves so often in the last 8 months…
The battle has begun on stopping this legislation already. Here is a great organization that fights for Conservative American values everyday and will part of the legal team to stop the march of Socialism in the USA: http://www.aclj.org/
As always, I will post updates on this matter as they become available. Buckle in my friends, it is going to be a rough ride this fall!
Thomas Jefferson
"We must make our choice between economy and liberty or confusion and servitude...If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labor and in our amusements...if we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy."--Thomas Jefferson
"America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. "
--John Quincy Adams
US diplomat & politician (1767 - 1848)
“Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation”
-James Madison at the Virginia Ratification Debates
"With respect to the words "general welfare," I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators."

This attempt to take over computer networks should care the bejeesus out of every thinking American.
ReplyDeleteHey
ReplyDeleteI am also a conservative I enjoy your blog and I am looking for readers to came read and comment my blog and it would be really cool if you came
over and did just that.
I agree with your post and I am shocked the ACLU actually stood up for the right thing in this case.
Still I find it amazing how Obama has expanded the power of his office more than Bush ever did
or at least he is trying to.
And the MSM is silence
maybe someone should send MSNBC the memo
