I am so tempted to rearrange the wording of the sentence.

“Protecting cyberspace”. Think about those words until the full gravity of the complete line of BS we are being fed becomes clear.

Kill the bill. We want to have the free speech promised in the Bill of Rights.

U. S. Senate

U. S. House of Representatives

How's this: If Obama gets control of the internet, he can clean up the pornography that is corrupting our youth. It's "For the Children". Better?

I do not trust Obama or any of the other idiots in DC on the democrat side to control the Off switch on my dishwasher, let alone the internet. If GW Bush had been given half the power that they want to give to the current man child president, the libs would be rioting in the streets.

Just like when Bush was president and the libs put out that full page newspaper ad “not in our name” making fun of General Petrayus. Now I guess they are all quiet and content. They make me sick they are such hypocrites!

When they halve the calories of the porridge servings in the forced labor camps. That will surely be the last straw.

This isn’t something new from the current administration, it all started after 9/11. It’s inevitable, just a cheaper and faster form of policing and closing our borders...which is what lots of people apparently want.

that reminded me of this “book burning clip!”

it’s actually the flamethrower ‘event’ at a weekend machinegun shoot. the funny stuff is in the dialouge of the kids filming it.
