'Shut Up' author on Glenn Beck Monday (Obama's plot to silence talk radio)

Brad O'Leary, the author of the latest WND Books release, "Shut Up, America! The End of Free Speech," will be a guest on Glenn Beck's Fox News TV show Monday at 5 p.m. to talk about the Barack Obama administration's plan to silence talk radio.

The book explains how, as popular opposition to the reinstitution of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" mounts, Obama and the Democrat-dominated Congress will end-run critics with legislation that will curb dissent on talk radio through the imposition of "localism" rules and community watchdog boards across America.

In "Shut Up, America! The End of Free Speech," O'Leary says the plan amounts to the development of party-approved "commissar committees" to censor the kind of lively and free-wheeling debate America has known since the scrapping of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" by President Reagan's Federal Communications Commission in 1987.

They will be forcing the use of the second to protect the first.......

Folks need to learn their history, or we are doomed to repeat it!!!

.

The video is a description of the 5 supposed forms of government, from 100% government control (Communism, facism, totalitarianism etc) to 0% government (anarchy) it obliteraties all forms of government as only temporary and futile except for 2, olgiarchy and republic. It does this in a clear concise manner, which effectively shows even a grade schooler about them. It then, in the last few moments, explains Rome, its beginning as a republic, and its morph into a democracy. The parallels are well put, and clearly where this country is today. It is an excellent way to spread the word to those who have never been taught proper history, and that is alot of people since they have been re writing it for so long now.

I have been posting this sucker all over all day, and sometimes I forget that some are stuck at work, so I have included the above basic description of the video, however it does not do the video justice. I beg, implore and urge all to view it who have not. THIS is the reason we are so angry. Taxes are a symptom, losing our republic is the disease!!!!!

Oh, c’mon. Surely we can trust some of our fine ‘republican’ congressmen to stand up aggressively and ensure that none of this happens...............Oh, yeah, I forgot.

We must keep the We Love America Movement, so evident in the Tax Day Tea Parties, going strong. We must keep holding local events that encourage people to speak out in the safety of numbers.

Speaking Out For America

Now is the time to start calling our reps in D.C. and locally and explain to them that America does not run on committees designated to control what is deemed right and what is deemed unfit. Were that the case, NO LIBERAL would ever attain office.

Sounds like a CUBAN neighborhood watch system, where certain communist party members who are in favor, ie. Elian Gonzalez's dad, are paid to report on specific block areas wherein someone might be dissing or complaining about Castro or the 'system'.

This is not American.

This is not localized power, this is FEDERAL CONTROL by ONE PARTY and we must nip it now.

Yup. We have to get the kiddies, one at a time. This governmental take over began decades ago. It is going to take a generation or 2 to fix it. Thanks for your help!!

We’ve tried all that. There has been no shortage of ‘calling our reps’ and sending faxes and making our displeasure known. These people have genuine fear of ramifications, so they won’t respond. The elections are pretty much fixed from this point forward, so they don’t fear being voted out. So we need to come up with a way to um, ‘get their attention’. And if we don’t, we have let the Founders of this country down. They gave us these Amendments for a reason.

Calling (NOT FAXING, NOT EMAILING) is the way to do it...always has been, it is the tabulated number of calls that get the attention of representatives. One of my kids has worked for a representative in DC and this is the single greatest motivator in regards to getting a congressman or woman to get off their arse and respond.

The goal is to get them to become VERY AWARE of the new name attached to this horrific plan (ie it is NOT being called the 'fairness doctrine') and to make certain this plan is NOT ENACTED in a run around (ie without a vote representation).

They don’t and won’t do diddly; phone calls, faxes or whatever. Doesn’t matter. Where have you been, what have you seen over the past 20 years that leads you to believe otherwise?

This video is excellent and should be shown every where. Especially in the schools, including the colleges.
