Elizabeth Warren: First Amendment Right 'Scares Me', Needs 'Dialing Back'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/23/2010 5:40:46 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Remember the MSM brouhaha when some conservatives suggested reconsidering the automatic granting of citizenship to children born in the US to illegal immigrants? Suddenly, the sanctity of the 14th Amendment became the single most precious thing to liberals—even though no amendment of it, let alone its abolition, would have been necessary to revise the policy on birthright citizenship.

So should we expect the liberal media to take up its constitutional cudgel against Elizabeth Warren? After all, Pres. Obama's newly appointed [not nominated] head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau went on Morning Joe today and in effect proclaimed that the right to petition government for the redress of government "scares" her. More disturbingly, Warren suggested we need to work on "dialing back" that right.

Another Anita Dunn.

For the good of the little people against the capitalist roader running dogs, sometimes a despot’s gotta do, what a despot’s gotta do. You have to admire that in a leader.

Elizabeth Warren: First Amendment Right 'Scares Me', Needs 'Dialing Back'

Totalitarian, and dictatorial regimes are always afraid of Free Speech, particularly those like der Fuhrer 0bama's regime that came to power through a web of lies (like where he was born). They are always afraid the truth will come to light, and it is easier "to control the people" if they control the media and stifle Free Speech.

zero has long-established relationships with these lunatics and he intends to install every last one of them in a key position aimed at destroying every fundamentally good thing in this country.

Every one can be free,
But they have to agree to be free.
They have to agree to be less free than me.
Because I rule the world, you see.

Who the heck do these people think they are!?

Dial back the first amendment? Too bad it isn't that that easy, liberal hack.

She believes she has us all figured out. She thinks we are all big mouthed Homer Simpsons with guns.

Therefore, we must be reined in.

Perhaps she could get some pointers from the chicoms. They've been "dialing back" free speech for decades...

She is very bad news; I’m afraid we’ll be hearing quite a lot from her. And it’s telling that Obama did an end-run around the senate confirmation process for her. He’s ramming her down our throat.

So lobbiests and their clients ‘undercut the people’s business’, huh?

The people’s business...I suppose people and corporations affected by congress don’t have any business trying to influence ‘the people’s business’.

For some reason, its like a neon signboard just revealed her most inner belief system...which is government knows whats best for people, period!
