Silence Citizens!
Freedom of the Press?
Only if you have nothing negative to say about Obama
Well, well, well, isn’t this special.
by Jim Turner
It now seems that our military is in the business of silencing the freedom of speech of anyone who even dares to speak out against their commander in chief, Mr. Obama.
RALEIGH, N.C. – The U.S. Army plans to prevent media from covering Sarah Palin’s appearance at Fort Bragg, fearing the event will turn into political grandstanding against President Barack Obama, officials said Thursday.
… McCollum said the Army did not want the Monday event to become a platform to express political opinions “directed against the commander in chief.”
What I find interesting [sickening] is that our military leaders, the defenders of the free republic, will not allow a patriot, Sarah Palin, to speak out in support of our troops, while their commander in chief is doing everything in his power to not support the troops he is suppose to be commanding.
How is that for an oxymoron?
Even more shocking is that according to Tom McCollum, military officials do not consider Sarah – the patriot – a politician because she is critical of Obama and his policies in regards to our troops who are in dire need of support in Afghanistan.
McCollum said it’s not clear if military officials consider Palin a politician but noted that she has been critical of Obama while promoting the book. She said in an interview with ABC News that Obama should provide more troops to Afghanistan.
“It frustrates me and frightens me — and many Americans — that President Obama is dithering around with the decision in Afghanistan,” she said.
Who exactly are the military protecting; Obama’s elites and their egos, or the brave men and women over in Afghanistan?
Next Issue with Free Speech
Here lies the issue. If our military, congress and the Obama Administration are truly claiming to support the constitution of this nation which includes the freedom of speech for every single citizen, then why would Obama and his defenders of socialism be dead set on silencing those exact freedoms?
Why would a defender like Mark Llyod ( FCC Diversity Czar ) believe in the silencing of the press?
“It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies.
“[T]he purpose of free speech is warped to protect global corporations and block rules that would promote democratic governance.”
Why would a member of Obama’s team be infatuated with dictators like Hugo Chavez?
“In Venezuela, with Chavez, is really an incredible revolution – a democratic revolution. To begin to put in place things that are going to have an impact on the people of Venezuela.
Let me remind you, this is the same Venezuela where Journalists fear for their lives, where they are shot and murdered for their freedom of speech.
A series of violent attacks, including the killing of a newspaper executive, fueled concern among journalists. On June 3, Pierre Fould Gerges, vice president of the Caracas daily Reporte Diario de la Economía, was shot to death by unidentified gunmen.
Why would yet another defender of freedom such as Mr. McChesney wish to remove brick by brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles?
Why would Obama put himself in alignment with these men like McChesney who believes that Marxism is the only way for a society?
Why?
Could it be that maybe this new administration and the one prior ( Patriot Act ) actually do not want you to have your freedoms any longer as they finally believe that now is the time for a real revolution to take place by revoking your first amendment rights that were once protected under the constitution that seems to be fading into obscurity?
Was this part of the CHANGE that Obama has been speaking of by transforming America?
Is this the CHANGE that he wishes to enforce upon each and every one of us who live in America?
Doesn’t this kind of remind you of June 4, 1989 all over again?
Well folks,
First they silence the politicians,
then the silence the media,
then they silenced you…
Yup CHANGE we can all believe in…
