Can’t claim it.

Wish there’d been a space after ‘we’ though.

The author of this article is either a moron or trolling for morons.

1. This is a product created by private citizens for use by private citizens who choose to use it. It is not being forced on anybody, nor does it doesn’t prevent anyone from writing about God; it simply allows insecure chumps to configure their browsers so they can only read things they agree with. It’s stupid and cowardly, and ultimately going to cause these atheists to lose arguments due to self-inflicted ignorance of opposing viewpoints, but it’s still their liberty to take.
2. Where’s the proof that the Obama administration endorses this or any similar product?

Please, don’t give legitimacy to the claim that Christians have a persecution complex.

GodBlock is now up and running. Its purpose, according to its designers, “Is to test each page that your child visits before it is loaded, looking for passages from holy texts, names of religious figures, and other signs of religious propaganda. If none are found, then your child is allowed to browse freely.”

This "GodBlock" filter isn't something I personally would ever buy and install on my kids' computer, but people have a right to run their own computers how they want and raise their kids in whatever way seems best to them. It doesn't appear from the article that this product is being forced on anyone.

This appears to be a private project not associated with the federal government. I do not like or support Obama, but this has nothing to do with him.

I’m confused as to how a private software internet site blocker, that a (misguided, but freely entitled) atheist wants to put on his/her computer is somehow connected to Obama.

The hysterical and misleading title just takes away the real horrors that Obama is doing daily by displaying false connections.

That’s a nice idea, and it may start out that way. But remember Obama’s administration is also pushing hard for the government to take over the internet. If they do this, they could require all ISPs to install this (as software or as hardware) into their networks on the backbones. This would mean it would filter literally ALL traffic on the internet.

But that’s how oppressive regimes generally operate, and is how the liberals have been operating for years - piece-meal. Little by little, so no one realizes what they’ve lost until it’s far to late to get it back.

Not when it would censor his endorsements by Reverend Wright and Reverend Jackson. He has no problem with religion when it helps justify his edicts or worships him.

The smartest hackers don't work for the government. They'd find a say around something like this in a New York Minute! ;o)

Gee, how about the word “Allah”? Are they gonna block that too?

Yeah, go after the Christians, but better leave the Muzzies alone.

Lol. It is mentioned on the People’s World site, which is owned by the CPUSA. So far, so good. The only problem is that there’s no hammer and sickle (not even a hammer and cycle), and that the article - by Dan Margolis - is making the point that nobody likes this thing, not even the atheists.

So, you’re saying it’s basically something any 14 year old can get around? I hardly think God will be blocked (or mocked).

Show me your proof that oBummer is actually involved here, and then we’ll talk.

This reporting is shockingly bad. The best you can say about this post is that the author at least provides the news site from which the article came. Here's the link:

http://www.peoplesworld.org/godblock-inspires-controversy-among-atheists/

The article is actually title “GodBlock inspires controversy—among atheists.” So it's an article, in the CPUSA press, discussing a new piece of software's controversial nature. Everything that's posted above as something from the Communist Party is actually from the GodBlock website, and, further, if you actually read the article, the spokesperson for the American Atheists is against the software, saying it impinges upon the freedom of information of everyone, even children.

From the post above, you get the impression that the CPUSA is trumpeting software, with the support of atheists, created by the Obama administration to stifle the religious. From the actual article, you read a news story about a controversy among atheists. How does the latter get translated into the former? The left says the the right wing are all liars; why are you playing into that? Are you secretly a shill for the Democratic Party? How would you feel if the lies you peddled were picked up by the news media, and then everyone had to backtrack when the actual article was found?

Also, if you read the comments, a lot of the atheists seem to think that the software is fake, a joke.

Really, if you're going to post about something, you should be truthful and not willfully twist the facts.
