1st Amendment: Mark Lloyd, a disciple of Saul Alinsky and fan of Hugo Chavez, wants to destroy talk radio and says free speech is a distraction. The new FCC diversity "czar" says Venezuela is an example we should follow.
They share a common hero — Saul Alinsky — who wrote the community organizer's bible, "Rules for Radicals." It speaks of confrontation or, as candidate Obama put it, of "getting in their faces" as a way to obtain power, not from the people or for the people, but over the people.
Lloyd has written that we make too much of the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of speech and the press — for "the purpose of free speech is warped to protect global corporations and block rules that would promote democratic governance."
We thought we were democratically governed. We thought we could vote as we choose after a vigorous and open debate. Once the major networks served as information gatekeepers controlling what we saw and heard. Now talk radio, the Internet and cable news have enhanced democracy by promoting the free flow of information and discourse. Lloyd wants to stop all that.

Does he want the war now, or later?
Or thought.
Chillingly Orwellian statement, ehhhh?
We The People will soon be demanding IMPEACHMENT.
Neuter them in 2010
Vote the rest out in 2012
Clean Out the Dirt
This administration is really dangerous. It appears people are starting to catch on that they are far to the left. The MSM will not sound the alarm. We will have to do it through the Internet, talk radio and word of mouth.
This isn’t a joke?
Naw, it's still free speech, and he's still a fascist pig, and he should go off himself to save the people the trouble.
CW2 Ping
These idiots can always be counted upon to overplay their hand...they act as if they already have us in their concentration camps.
Man...are they in for a suprise.
As well as how CFR was designed to 'open up the political process' by banning political free speech just before an election.
Now’s fine. Might as well do it while we’re still young and save our children the hassle. Besides, this is our fight, not theirs.
Well, I've checked the keywords and so far none of them say "humor" or "satire", so guessing that this is NOT a joke, and that Lloyd's quote is an actual one made by him
Payback is going to be a bitch for these red sons of bitches.
They just keep pushing, keep trying us. They had this planned and he is the puppet. Who is his puppet master?
I’d sure hate to face the next generations and admit that freedom was extinguished on our watch.
HAY ... NO SMOKING !!!
Haven't you heard? /sarcasm off
I don’t think there is a single puppet master, although I could probably make a short list of major players.
The important thing to realize is that the communists have never admitted defeat. They are harder to put down than vampires.
And they got tougher to kill when they quit the Lenin/Stalin overt path and went the clandestine internal route of Gramsci and Alinsky.
I am concerned that these Marxists know exactly what they are doing, however improbable it might seem. They have learned (from Saul Alinsky) that if you push a negative hard enough, it will emerge as a positive.
As an example: any serious effort to restrict free speech in the name of "diversity" or "fairness" will undoubtedly result in turmoil, and ultimately in violence, which the Administration will in turn denounce. On cue, organizations from among the Democrats' accredited victim classes will publicly demand the restoration of order and safety - leading to further restrictions on civil liberties, as directed against the "domestic terrorists" the Justice Department earlier warned about.
Prior restraint of free speech will be justified, as it has been elsewhere, in the name of preventing violence. Radio stations and FOX News will be silenced. Web sites will be banned and blocked. And the Left will have achieved nearly complete control of the communications media, as has been their goal.
Pure dystopian fantasy, right? Perhaps, yes. But only because the more likely scenario should push come to shove is the very one you suggest.
Payback is going to be a bitch for these red sons of bitches.
Forget all of the above. Guns and ammo is what it's going to take!

“Romanian term limits”
Bottom line is the man that will lead us out of the woods is the man who picks up where McCarthy led off and making an example of this racist black supremacist sel admitted communist lawyer and fraud Jones is a pefect place to start.
THE SILENCE FROM THE GOP ON THIS IS DEAFENING AND EMBARRASSING.
No this is a team effort. Weathermen, socialist, social justice warriors, unions, and a few outright communist sprinkled in for old time’s sake.
Well, just imagine that, a Czar threatening freedom.
Who would have thunk it?
Is there anyone in Obama’s White House who isn’t a radical left-winger? I would fully expect there not to be anyone.
Up...
If I were a GOPative, I would be embarrassed, since I'm a conservative, I tote attitude, directive toward freedom and sovereignty within our nation and most of all a blessed respect for our Constitution!
No embarrassment here.
“I’d sure hate to face the next generations and admit that freedom was extinguished on our watch.”
We won’t let that happen.
“Is there anyone in Obama’s White House who isn’t a radical left-winger?”
Probably a few, who are stupid to the bone,or just plain whores.
“Who is his puppet master?”
Probably his little cadre of radical friends. Doesn’t really matter, since the main issue is Obama’s intent to turn this country into a large third-World Marxist dictatorship.
[[The new FCC diversity “czar” says Venezuela is an example we should follow.]]
Here’s a thought- Why don’t we STICK TO our OWN model instead of pining after evil regimes? I know, I know, Silly me- Morality and ocmmon sense are ‘icky American ideals that need to be squashed as quickly as possible’
Yep- let’s all be clones of evil regimes instead of uniquely American moralists
They have been prepared for this war since FDR . We are the ones that need to prepare.
They're all stupid whores.
Hope all is well with you. Haven't seen an update lately. God bless.
No matter, 0 has intellectual appeal to the pseudo intellectuals of the state media, so they will play the game of destroying free, political speech in the name of promoting responsible speech.
Senator John McCain on October 13th 2008:
“Senator Obama is decent man, good family man, citizen and you do not have to be scared of him as the President of the United States.”
August 25th, 2009
“I’m sure that he does and I’m sure he respects the Constitution. I’m absolutely convinced of it. President Obama believes in the Constitution, I’m convinced that the president is absolutely sincere in his beliefs.”
History will refer to McCarthy as a “hero”
Maybe.
So who is doing the knitting for our side?
Just in case we need it. Which, unfortunately, seems not unlikely.
I’m thinking this is a good start:

Glenn Beck had a gentleman on his show today who said Lloyd comes from the George Soros Center for American Progress.
"Daddy, why did you take my freedoms and money away?"
This crap is going to push America too far!
as angry constituents flood town hall meetings and call in to talk radio, a man dedicated to silencing them sits at the right hand of the president... Lloyd has written that we make too much of the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of speech and the press -- for "the purpose of free speech is warped to protect global corporations and block rules that would promote democratic governance." We thought we were democratically governed. We thought we could vote as we choose after a vigorous and open debate. Once the major networks served as information gatekeepers controlling what we saw and heard. Now talk radio, the Internet and cable news have enhanced democracy by promoting the free flow of information and discourse. Lloyd wants to stop all that.Bring it on, beeotch.

NEVER FORGET

After the Fall of FREEDOM here,
just like the Fall of FREEDOM in Saigon, Vietnam long ago after we shortchanged a crucial Fight for FREEDOM there,
...it can all happen again right here:

Which makes how overt this administrating is quite interesting. More people are aware of these mechanisms and strategies now than ever before - by a very large and growing margin.
Literally decades of stealth maneuvering and denial are going up in flames every day.
And they can't ever get that stealth genie back in the bottle.
Isn't this literally sedition with treasonous intent?
“I’d sure hate to face the next generations and admit that freedom was extinguished on our watch.”
At the very least, some of us will go down fighting, and thus not be privy to any complaints from the “next generation”.
