Diversity Czar Threatens Free Speech
IBD Editorials ^ | August 31, 2009 | INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY Staff

Posted on 08/31/2009 5:49:36 PM PDT by Kaslin

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.


When Mark Lloyd was appointed July 29 as the chief diversity officer at the Federal Communications Commission, a nation focused on ObamaCare and a deteriorating economy took little notice. But 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.

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.

He not a Czar!! He is the newly appointed Diversity officer for the FCC. The position did not exist before.

He is very dangerous and needs to be stopped.

Being Greek Orthodox - those days of the week are of Western Germanic barbarian origins. The Greek days of the week are:

The following Greek names do not relate to a God’s name like in the English days of the week. Constantine spoke Greek and Latin but grew up in the Greek speaking east,

Kyriaki = Lord’s Day/Sunday
Deftera - Monday
Triti = Tues.
Tetarti = Wed.
Pempti = Thurs.
Paraskevi = Friday
Sabato = Sabbath = Saturday

>>Even Luther did not hold the view you espoused.

Yeah well, Luther should have stayed on track with delivering The Word to the individual - instead of getting drunk and remorsefully trying to put “the best construction” lipstick on a collective pig/cow.

And are an example of the syncretic nature of the god-Emperor’s un-holy work product.

Easter/Ishtar/Isis/Oster.... worship of the Mother Goddess - and NOTHING to do with the Christian Faith of the appostles.

Sorry, don’t need any Ishtar Eggs either.

Oh look... it’s a cute little Bunny! {yeah, but it’s got huge, nasty teeth!} Run away!

All those are WESTERN concepts - no bunny in the Orthodox east - all that came about from Germanic or Celtic pre Christian culture in the West.

It is not even called easter in the eastern Christian world where Constantine was from and lived and reigned. It was and still is called Pascha as in Passover.

Where did you get your history from? Chick Cartoon Tracts?

Indeed.  The Emperor and its minions never were much for that whole "freedom of discourse" thingee.
 
Precisely why the 1st amendment barrier to the god-Emperor/King/Czar/Caesar was erected; and secured by the 2nd.
 

Hail Caesar! Those of us about to die [NOT], are giving you the finger!

Lol.   It's right in the open, for anybody with an Amphictyonic Eye to see.
 
Got Morals and Dogma, troll?
 
Maybe you should teleport your Greek disinformationist / ufologist arse back over to DU, comrade.

Who is his puppet master?George Soros is my guess. If he's not the ultimate puppet master, he is certainly a few levels higher up than Zero.

East is the English word for it. In Greek the east is called ANATOLI.

Easter comes from the Germanic name for the month of April.

The Greek w Pascha is derived from Hebrew Pesach (פֶּסַח) meaning the festival of Passover. In Greek the word Anastasi, (upstanding) is used also as an alternative. Anastasi as in rise as in rise from the dead.

I don't believe in UFOs and I don't see how my post is a DU troll post. Is that something you throw around to end discussions?

In any case how is it a DU troll statement like I made that instead of czar the term commissar is better suited to what Obama is doing? Appointing political officers aka commissars to enforce the party line. That is what the commissars did to the czarist forces in Russia for example.

Quack, Waddle,... oh look it's a god-Emperor, czar/Caesar.   FAIL.
 
>>If not for him there would be no Christianity today
 
Really?  And here I thought my reconciled relationship to the Lord and Creator of the Universe was due to HIS work-product:  the intervention and sacrifice of The Word made flesh.
 
Thank you for sharing your "faith", in the czar/Caesar/god-Emperor, comrade.
 
No Sale.

Thanks to the Emperor Constantine freeing Christians from persecution and allowing the New Testament to be compiled in the open so you can read and be saved.

I am still sore at you for calling me a DU troll. I don't mind you disagreeing with me but your retort was uncalled for and uncivil and not conducive to a discussion in any way.

I would like to know how my post in any way was a DU troll post?

No, thanks to YAHWEH, actually - But you’re free to worship who/what you choose; that was sort’a the whole American point, comrade Czarista.

So you practice let wing tactics in not posting the full statement like was done against Bush by reporters:

My subjects of interests are in history, militaria, religions/theologies, archeology,myths and legends and while I do not generally believe in the following subjects, for fun (and to maintain an open mind) I love reading about alternate/revisionist history (subjects like pre-Columbian transatlantic voyages, etc), crypto-zoology, UFOs and other Fortean happenings.

So now you bear false witness as well?

I should have stuck with my vow to avoid politics but I figured using the term czar rather than the more correct commissar was linked to history.

In any case you did a dis-service to this thread by changing the subject in that I wanted to have the Obama czars be seen as the more scary commissars aka political officers of the Communist party because you had Religious nut moment.

Oster, which comes from the Babylonian: Ishtar.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=babylonian+ishtar+Oster&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

“Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Baal”
—The Who?

“Baal” being a Hebrew word meaning “Lord, Owner, Master, Posessor”... Czar.

Oh look, the Emperor is in his underwear... AGAIN.

YAHWEH

If you kept up on real studies you would know this phonetic pronouncement of the name of God (lost to history actually) is considered and inaccurate vocalization of the Tetragrammaton from the 19th century.

Of course you did, Comrade Citizen Czarista.

Greek Newspeak Dictionary, 2009 edition?

>>I love reading about...

Topics consistent with classic cold-war era Soviet disinformation and propaganda tactics.

FAIL.

You are confused - czar = communist? You know they did fight a war against each other. But real history is not your strong point it seems.
