Last year, Obama sought total control over the Internet,
giving him the ability to shut it down at will.
The attempt was thinly disguised as being necessary in the event of cyber-attack,
but he would really have the power to shut off its vast communication
capabilities during a period of “national unrest.” In other words, if we get ticked off enough
at him that we want to organize protests and demonstrations, he wants to shut
off our ability to communicate. He would
also have the power to selectively shut down websites antagonistic to his point
of view. Congress turned him down last
year, but he is now making a concerted push to get his demands met.
COMMENTS:
His latest proposal would prohibit any interference from the
Courts. We need to make Congress aware
of the fact that we will not tolerate interference with the First Amendment and
our right to free speech. If there is a cyber-attack,
the guys in charge of the Internet are perfectly capable of temporarily
shutting it down and dealing with it; they don’t need a Marxist Socialist
making their decisions for them.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Should convicted felons ever get back their rights to
vote or carry a gun? (Jim ~ Victorville,
CA)
A. No. Not only no,
but hell no. I, for one, refuse to ever
go soft on crime. If you want to vote
and carry a gun, don’t commit a felony.
Q. What will Obama have to say at the State of the Union
Address? (Paul ~ Yuma, AZ)
A. The same thing he said last year: “I’m going to turn my
attention to jobs.” If he wants to talk
about his accomplishments, he can sum them up in one word: “Present.”
Q. Does Gingrich still have a chance to win? (Helena ~ Logan, UT)
A. I think Paul, Santorum and Perry will be out of the race
by mid-February or the end of the month at the very latest. It will then be between Gingrich and
Romney. I anticipate Gingrich will win
South Carolina and the race will be on.
There are enough people who think Romney is “slimy” that Gingrich still
has a definite chance. And, he has my
support.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“It seems proper, at all events, that by an
early enactment similar to that of other countries the application of public
money by an officer of Government to private uses should be made a felony and
visited with severe and ignominious punishment.” ~ Martin
Van Buren
