WILL A "EMERGENCY" ROB OUR FREEDOMS OF SPEECH?

I notice how the usual gang of liberals stayed away from this one. They must be in disbelief at some of the stuff Beck is finding out about obama and his communist friends. They have no defense for this type of thing other than the name calling {such as the type displayed above} and even that is getting old. They are going to have to face the facts that they elected a communist president or at the very least one who seems to not have a problem with communists. Either way this country is screwed if things don't change and quickly. Van jones needs to be thrown out of not only the white house but this whole damn country. He is a traitor to the American way of life.

jubal,
There is truth in what you've said, however it is the illusion that government is the regulatory "authority" that keeps capitalism in check, when in fact it is the fly in the ointment.

When special interests come into play to curry favor, where do they go? . . to the top to those who are in fact in control. If regulatory controls are limited, then not much is gained by lobbying to government for special interest favor is there?

Supply and demand is the name of the game in capitalism, and with a minimum of controls, each industry will ebb and flow to the rise and fall of need, quality and services per consumers demand, and each business has to become more competitive to capture market share.

Hence, John and Mary Consumer benefit, and corporate America as well.

It is when government becomes the "middleman" that the wrench is thrown into the machinery and productivity begins to grind to a halt.

Lovely and we have Texans chanting "Death to America"....how deliciously American!

ONE IF BY LAND , TWO IF BY SEA, THREE IF BY WEB;
DONT TREAD ON ME !

Current.com is one of the many victims who eat whatever they are fed, three meals a day, exactly as planned by what Abington started.
In an interview with Frontpage, last week, in response to a question from the Frontpage news agency, the U.S. government finally acknowledged that the U.S. Aid For International Development (USAID) indeed funds the Palestine Academic Society For the Study of Academic Affairs (PASSIA), the PLO lobby group in Jerusalem which trains PLO media professionals in the art of transforming the image of the Arab-Israeli struggle into an Arab David against an Israeli Goliath.
USAID reports directly to the White House, which makes that allocation of particular significance to U.S. taxpayers. This funding arrangement was made possible back in 1997, under an agreement reached between the PLO and the man who was then the U.S. Consul in Jerusalem, Mr. Edward Abington. Immediately upon leaving his position as consul in Jerusalem in 1997, an employee of the U.S. State Department, Abington was hired by the PLO to be their paid lobbyist and official foreign agent in Washington, D.C., where Abington continues to lobby for the PLO under the framework of Bannerman and Associates. There's nothing like paying back a friend who helps you out.
Does anyone think that Current or any of the other agencies are suddenly going to read and investigate and then acknowledge that the Palestinian politicians pay for the dissemination of warped news to slander Israel and make the Palestinians look wonderful?
They will not do that because that is like admitting that they have been believing twisted and adjusted news for years.
That is why some people think that Current is run by anti Semites. I do not think they hate the Jews. I think they just read and print their news the way they get it.
Where do they get it from?
Maybe you should read the above again, because i did not just make an allegation. I explained the details and sources and the generators of the whole warped and distorted essence of the ones who create and spawn that area's news.

Free speech is limited on this site. Intellectual dishonesty is rampant among the moderators. I had a comment removed recently for calling someone a racist. The fact that the person in question IS a racist doesn't matter to current. So it' s like this......you can be a racist on current and openly spew your hatred but you can't call that person a racist. This is political correctness run riot and nothing short of Orwellian in its complicity with evil. It is glaringly obvious that the moderators here share the vile antisemitic sentiments of a number of members and go out of their way to defend them and punish those who point this hatred and racism out.

Do you not recognize that you are swimming in free speech on this site? For Christ's sake, don't be so damned reactionary. Your paranoia is so thick among you guys you can slice it with a knife.

Free speech is a staple of America. To get rid of it will only further erode our link to our constitution.... Bottom line is: if you dont like it, dont read it....

Freedom of speech is terrible in the eyes of Muslim fundamentalists. I will always remember that sign one of the Muslim protesters held high, "FREEDOM GO TO HELL."
So, it is clear that they are not interested in defending freedom because they don't want freedom.
Mr. Obama is ashamed to tell us that he is a Muslim. So, instead, he threatened to shut down talk radio because like so many other Muslims, if you don't like some people, you get rid of them.
Even those who disagree with me, will still agree that Mr. Obama would love to shut up those right wing talk show hosts.

Tyr, Thanks for the input, now that I've received divine guidance from a Liberalost Progressive Demoncrat, my life is now complete, and I'll never be lost in the wilderness of confusion ever again....Bwahahahahahahahahaa

I suggest all you guys keep plenty of tin foil to makes hats out of so they can't read your brainwaves....then run lots of string between your houses and attach cups to the ends of them so you can continue to communicate with each other. On ebay you can probably find some cool secret code rings so you can send secret encoded messages to each other too.
Pigeons could be used too, but they require alot of work.
Don't forget one of you has to have a special search light that makes a giant GB in the sky when you need Glenn beck to rescue you from those liberals!

cyman01, they haven't won yet, but they're damned close to getting it done with this administration, if we fail to keep watch.

anyone remember the communist threat of the 50's? Truman and Eisenhower allowed the Soviets to claim a major part of Europe and the cold war began....now we are facing the threat from within....maybe they won?

Crises are a means of having the people accept what is eventually inevitable. It is important for us to be strong and accountable for our actions. This is no longer true, as many people aren't accountable, yet they expect entitlements. That type of thinking is common for the bohemian and dependent lifestyle.

Cuban Americans have been saying it for years.

Modern day Communists get "democratically" elected like Chavez, Zelaya, Obama, etc., then they sease control of the government behind the scenes, so that by the time the people realize what is really happening-it's to late. Lucky for Honduras the military hadn't been bought. For Venezuela is too late now. The United States is still on the early stages and people are very aware of whats going on.

If they think people are angry now, wait and see what will happen if the internet is turned off in case of a so called emergency!!

Obama is surrounded by these behavioral psychologist (economist) that will try and get the people to accept austerity through deep budget cuts to government funded programs the population needs. Obama claims to be fan of Lincoln and FDR but he has been the complete opposite. He is more of a Hoover type of president.
Maybe Obama needs his own Reichstag fire/9-11 to push any law he wants implemented.

Gotta love that new title Mr. Lloyd has acquired

Associate General Counsel and Chief Diversity Officer

A Senior Fellow at the George Soros’ Center for American Progress, Mark Lloyd’s antipathy towards non-leftist participation in the public square is well known. He has written two anti-free speech hit pieces on “conservative talk radio” … a CAP “analysis” “The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio” which never examines talk radio in the larger sphere as being the only alternative to Leftist dominated broadcast television (news and entertainment), newspapers, university and college campuses … and “Forget the Fairness Doctrine”, a whiney little piece where Lloyd tries to bare his teeth against people who oppose his conclusions in the first piece and defends his Trojan Horse plan to achieve his own STFU policy towards conservative talk radio with so-called “local diversity” objectives.

No, nothing to worry about here with Lloyd at the FCC.

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights that expressly prohibits the Congress from making laws "respecting an establishment of religion", prohibiting the free exercise of religion, infringing the freedom of speech, infringing the freedom of the press, limiting the right to peaceably assemble, or limiting the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Although the First Amendment only explicitly applies to the Congress, the Supreme Court has interpreted it as applying to the executive and judicial branches. Additionally, in the 20th century, the Supreme Court held that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment applies the limitations of the First Amendment to each state, including any local government within a state.
