_Should President Obama Control The Internet?_

July 19, 2009 | Austin Hill
President Barack Obama wants to control the internet.
And if our President has his way, this website may soon be under legal
attack from the White House.
Since the internets emergence in the private sector (it actually began in
the public sector, through developments at the U.S. Department of Defense
back in the 1960s), officials in our U.S. Government have generally viewed
the internet as a good and necessary thing.
In 1996, when former Sun Microsystems Officer John Gage began a movement
to get high-tech companies involved in providing internet infrastructure for
the worlds schools, libraries, and clinics, President Bill Clinton and
Vice President Al Gore marked the first ever NetDay celebration by traveling
to Concord, California, and spending the day re-wiring a high school campus
with computer cables.
Similarly, both President Clinton and President George W. Bush pushed for
every school in America to be connected to the world wide web, and internet
connectivity generally flourished around the globe under the leadership of
both Presidents, and by both public and private funding means.
But today, things are different. After approximately seven months in
office, President Obama controls, in varying degrees, General Motors, Chrysler,
and a variety of financial services companies. He is seeking to control,
among other things, the health care industry, the energy industry, and the
amount of money that business executives are paid by their employers.
And now it appears that the President who ran the most successful,
web-savvy political campaign in world history, wants to curtail what other people
can do online.
Cass Sunstein, an American legal scholar and Harvard Law Professor, has
been appointed by President Obama to head up the White House Office Of
Information And Regulatory Affairs. His title is sufficiently broad and
ambiguous, but he wields plenty of power. And with advance copies circulating of his
new book On Rumors: How Falsehoods Spread, Why We Believe Them, What Can
Be Done, Americans who still care about their rights to freedom of speech
should be paying close attention.
You owe it to yourself to review what has been reported in both the New
York Post and the Wall Street Journal about Mr. Sunstein, and the ideas that
he advances in his book. And while we dont know precisely what Obama and
Sunstein will be doing, many of the thoughts that Mr. Sunstein expresses
about the internet seem consistent with President Obamas proclivity to control
things, generally.
Perhaps most disturbing is Mr. Sunsteins vision for the future of web
content, as he argues for a so-called notice and take down law. Under this
provision, those who operate websites - - The Washington Post, radio stations,
private bloggers, and perhaps even you, yourself -we would all be required
take down falsehoods upon notice from the U.S. government.
And not only would the original content of websites be scrutinized by the
government for falsehoods, website operators would also be held responsible
for the content of posts created by the websites visitors and readers. At
first blush it may seem that, for a web operator to be held accountable for
content generated by posters, is completely untenable. But that may very
well be Mr. Sunsteins goal - - to create an untenable situation for website
operators - given his assertion that a chilling effect on those who would
spread destructive falsehoods can be an excellent idea..
But who shall determine what, exactly, is true and false? Mr. Sunstein
laments the supposed lie that emerged during last years presidential race,
that Barack Obama pals around with terrorists. Despite that fact that a
friendship between Obama and known domestic terrorist William Ayers was something
that both men acknowledged, Sunstein alludes to the notion that this was
one of those destructive falsehoods of the sort that needs to be policed.
As I was recently talking about this matter on-air at Arizonas NewsTalk
92-3 KTAR radio, a caller to the show observed that theres no way this could
be legal, or constitutional.. Thoughtful Americans of all sorts will
immediately view this situation through the lenses of constitutionally guaranteed
rights.
But issues of legality dont seem to matter, at times, with the Obama
Administration. In March of this year, there was nothing illegal about
executives of the AIG Corporation being paid bonuses that they earned from their
employer, but they were harassed and publicly belittled, nonetheless.
President Obama himself demonized them, while dozens of Obama supporters
demonstrated in front of the private residences of the executives, alleging that it
was unfair for those executives to be making so much money.
In a similar way, it appears that the Obama Administration may be
ushering-in an era of harassment for website operators. Regardless of what U.S.
courts may or may not say about this in the future, a notice and take down
letter from the White House could have quite a chilling effect for today.

o's ten commandments
This from Newsmax.com
PATRIOT UPDATE EXCLUSIVE:
The Ten Commandments According to Obama
© 2009 The Patriot Update. Feel free to circulate this article, but please give credit and link to The Patriot Update!
Click here for the Online Version.
After observing Obama on the campaign trail and during his first six months in office, we have concluded that our President lives and governs according to his own set of "Ten Commandments." They're certainly NOT the Ten Commandments you learned in Sunday School. In fact, many are the direct opposite! To prove that our conclusions are correct, you will find a link to source documentation for each commandment on the Patriot Update web site.
--------------------------------------------------------
I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.) SOURCE
II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore. SOURCE
III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama. SOURCE
IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy. SOURCE
V. Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money. SOURCE
VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby. SOURCE
VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are conservative or a Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed. SOURCE
VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you've been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives. SOURCE
IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian. SOURCE
X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet. SOURCE

Kentucky Poem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember seeing this before, thought I would share..
UK
What is Kentucky basketball?
It's not a coach.
It's not a player.
It's pride....tradition.
It's a 5 year old with a cat paw on his cheek saying, "Beat Louisville!"
It's not a game.
It's not a season.
It's pride....tradition.
It's expecting to be dancing every year where most pray to be.
It has no beginning.
It has no end.
It's pride....tradition.
It's waiting for midnight madness when the March buzzer rings.
Players that come are in awe of it.
Players that leave treasure it.
Players that oppose despise it.
It's pride....tradition.
It's getting the best from every opponent in hopes to top it.
Rupp built it.
Hall polished it.
Sutton shamed it.
Pitino restored it.
Calipari obsesses over it.
It's pride....tradition.
Keightly has served it.
Happy sang to it.
Cawood lived it.
It's pride....tradition.
Digger hates it.
Vitale and Packer are jealous of it.
McGuire realized it.
It's pride....tradition.
What is Kentucky Basketball?
It's "Blue and White" and "Go Big Blue"
It's "C!-A!-T!-S! Cats!, Cats!, Cats!"
It's pride....tradition.
It's more than a pastime
It's more than a hobby.
To some it's a religion.
It's pride....tradition.
It's K-E-N-T-U-C-K-Y on the jerseys.
Win or Lose, that's all that matters to me.

Thanks Judi Cole!
Something to think about!
by Pam Geller
I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied history all my life. I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes, these exist but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.
Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about 10 - 15 years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.
We demanded and then codified into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people whom we knew could never pay back? Why? We learned recently that the Federal Reserve,which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700B we all argued about so strenuously just this past September.
Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "We the People," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.
We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy. Why?
We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?
We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (now violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it wants marriage to remain between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?). We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?
Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, Social Security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and know precisely what I am talking about.) The list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth. It is potentially 1929 x 10. And we are at war with an enemy we cannot name for fear of offending people of the same religion who cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.
And now we have elected a man no one knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska . All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it.. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe is more important.)
Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change...radical change. Why?
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now. This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.
And that is only the beginning.
I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they did know was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory and promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully them into submission.
And then he was duly elected to office, with a full-throttled economic crisis at hand [the Great Depression]. Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department by department, person by person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name, where they were taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the moneyless, and goodies for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world.
He did it with a compliant media - Did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and...change.. And the people surely got what they voted for. (Look it up if you think I am exaggerating.) Read your history books. Many people objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and made fun of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though.
Don't forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And in less than six years - a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency - it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.
As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong, close my eyes, have another latte and ignore what is transpiring around me.
Some people scoff at me; others laugh or think I am foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe - and why I believe it. I pray I am wrong. But, I do not think I am.

Since many of you enjoy senior citizen status or will sometime in the not too distant future, I thought you might be interested in this information.
IN GOD WE TRUST
Everybody that is on this mailing list is either a senior citizen, is getting close, or knows somebody that is.
Most of you know by now that the Senate version (at least) of the "stimulus" bill includes provisions for extensive rationing of health care for senior citizens. The author of this part of the bill, former senator and tax evader, Tom Daschle, was credited today by Bloomberg with the following statement.
Bloomberg: "Daschle says health-care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them."
If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that Senators and Congressmen have their own healthcare plan that is first dollar or very low co-pay which they are guaranteed the remainder of their lives and are not subject to this new law if it passes.
Please use the power of the Internet to get this message out. Talk it up at the grassroots level. We have an election coming up in one year and nine months. We have the ability to address and reverse the dangerous direction the Obama administration and its allies have begun and in the interim, we can make our voices heard! Let's do it!

Subject: Fw: Warning for all parents/grandparents
http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/h/hand-sanitizer.htm This story was verified at: http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/sanitizer.asp
Yesterday, my youngest daughter, Halle who is just 4 years old, was
rushed to the ER by her father for being severely lethargic and incoherent in her
classroom.He was called to her school by the school secretary who said
that she was
'VERY VERY SICK'!
He told me that when he arrived at her classroom, Halle was barely sitting in the
chair.She couldn't hold her own head up and when he looked into her eyes,
shecouldn't focus them.
He immediately scooped her up and rushed her to the closest ER, and
then called me. When he got there, they ran blood test after blood test and did
x-rays,every test imaginable. Her white blood cell count was normal, nothing
wasout of the ordinary. When I arrived at the ER, the doctor there told
us that he had done everything that he could do so he was transferring her to Saint Francis Hospital for further tests.
Right as we were leaving in the ambulance, her teacher arrived at the ER and told
us that after questioning Halle 's classmates, She had found out that our little girl had licked liquid hand sanitizer off of her hands !!!
Hand sanitizer, of all things. But it makes sense.These days they have all
kinds of different scents and flavors and when you have a curious child, they are going to put all kinds of things into their mouths.
When we arrived at the Saint Francis' Hospital ER, we told the ER Doctor there
to check her blood alcohol level, and yes we did get weird looks, but they did
it.
The results showed her blood alcohol level was 85% -- six hours after we first took her.. There's no telling what it would have been if we would have requested it at the first ER. Since then, her school and a few surrounding schools have taken the liquid hand sanitizers
out of all the lower grade classes, but what's to stop middle and high schoolers from ingesting this stuff?
After doing research on the Internet, we found out that it only takes about
3 squirts of the stuff ingested to be fatal to a toddler.
For her blood alcohol level to be so high, it would be like someone her
size drinking120 proof liquor. So PLEASE PLEASE don't disregard this because we don't ever want another family to go through what ours has gone
through.
Please send this to everyone you know that have
children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews or cousins.
It doesn't matter what age. This could affect anyone of them .
This can also be verified on truth or fiction, see below...

Yesterday, my youngest daughter, Halle who is just 4 years old, was
rushed to the ER by her father for being severely lethargic and incoherent in her
classroom.He was called to her school by the school secretary who said
that she was
'VERY VERY SICK'!
He told me that when he arrived at her classroom, Halle was barely sitting in the
chair.She couldn't hold her own head up and when he looked into her eyes,
shecouldn't focus them.
He immediately scooped her up and rushed her to the closest ER, and
then called me. When he got there, they ran blood test after blood test and did
x-rays,every test imaginable. Her white blood cell count was normal, nothing
wasout of the ordinary. When I arrived at the ER, the doctor there told
us that he had done everything that he could do so he was transferring her to Saint Francis Hospital for further tests.
Right as we were leaving in the ambulance, her teacher arrived at the ER and told
us that after questioning Halle 's classmates, She had found out that our little girl had licked liquid hand sanitizer off of her hands !!!

The woodpecker might have to go!
Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark. .. One : Don't miss the boat. Two : Remember that we are all in the same boat. Three : Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark. Four : Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big. Five : Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done. Six : Build your future on high ground. Seven : For safety sake, travel in pairs. Eight : Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs. Nine : When you're stressed, float a while. Ten : Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals. ! Eleven : No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting. NOW, wasn't that nice? Pass it along and make someone else smile, too.
