Only a matter of time, you must think, before you can call a toll-free number at the White House to place a bet on your favorite football team. Let the games begin. The Obama administration is playing politics by offering some lucky contest winner $2500 of your American dollars for best pro-Obama Big Government propaganda film of 2010.The Environmental Protection Agency is running the contest – yes, that now extremely controversial agency with an extremely controversial mission – to explain to the American people why Barack Obama should be able to order the EPA to implement his own fraudulent “global warming” law without a law actually being passed by Congress.
The “Rulemaking Matters” video contest will reward “the best” 60-90 second video that “highlights the importance of federal regulation and motivates others to participate in the rule-making process.” Learn a little first. According to the instructional video, the role of Congress is to outline law and provide funding. The real meat of law is normally created by federal agencies. Thus, one might think it only natural that if Congress created the Environmental Protection Agency, they must be authorized to “protect the environment” in whatever way they see fit.
The really-pretty-obvious political issue the contest addresses is divided along party lines. So, once again, we see the Obama administration illegally using public funds for partisan political purposes. But what say you about minimum wage laws? How many people will respond by producing a propaganda film for the Obama administration and post it to YouTube without being paid a dime? (You know they will! So does Obama and the EPA.)
Quite frankly, when one considers the going rate for a 15-60 second campaign ad, even the winner is being ripped off. 2500 bucks? Come on! In the world of Big Politics, that's lunch money.
America’s Next Top Goebbels!
ugh
teh “Green Police” video from teh superbowl ought to do the trick perfectly.
I think I’ll submit 60 seconds of the ash cloud flowing from the volcano in Iceland.
