Whoa, Cass Sunstein? He wrote one of the books I have to read for a personal security psych class. It’s called Nudge: http://www.amazon.com/Nudge-Improving-Decisions-Health-Happiness/dp/014311526X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263767584&sr=1-1

What to expect from a public university. Sheesh.

See my post above. We had very strong reason to believe that there were Clinton WH operatives hanging out here on FR back in the late 1990’s.

Let’s all keep our eyes peeled for newly-registered FReepers who don’t like cheese.

I wonder how many are already here?

I have a newbie in mind. He refused to answer any post I put to him. Didn’t like Brown because he wasn’t conservative enough for him.

RE: “Cass Sunstein is literally, and clinically, criminally insane. No wonder Obama chose him. He belongs in a mental hospital under heavy sedation. Mark my words. if this man is allowed power, it will lead to disastrous and evil results.”

***************

Glenn Beck has been warning against Sunstein for months now — Cass is a very bad man in every respect — this expose just adds much fuel to the fire. ALL of Zero’s boys have got to go — actually, it is Zero who is the puppet here — the rest of the thugs are pulling his strings.

I don’t think Zero is strong enough to stay in office until 2012. I see our side rising up — I’m on board — who else???

Does anyone know what the Marxist Hegelian Dialectic is???

I wish more people did. They would become just as upset as I did when I learned about it. It difficult to explain and most people don't want to believe it works. But it does.

It might be helpful to weed out the trolls by requiring each person in here to have a complete profile page. I know, it’s easy to lie; but that little extra work might discourage trolls.

Otherwise, a little extra vigilance is necessary.

This is the classic time for "hope for the best, plan for the worst."

Back during the clinton/rapist years, in some Militia groups there were more FBI plants than members . . .

Sunstein is the anti-human creep who wrote an essay saying that we should stop being concerned about saving lives in the health care system, but “life-years”. Just another vile justification for age-based rationing.

He's far worse than Van Jones. He's a student of Singer's.

This serves MANY purposes for our Communist leaders.

It will allow espionage and subversion to be aimed directly at American citizenry.

It is the control/influencing of information.

It is the slow beginning of the turning of law enforcement against those who speak out against the government (They’re all nuts, those anti-government, conspiracy freaks, and we must protect the people from them.) Add to the mix a little propaganda, a false flag operation, or two, and voila! law enforcement targets militias, then gun owners, then protestors, then the Tea Party movement. (MIAC report, they’re already calling you extremists, you know they want you guns, naked body scanners, military weaponry being used on unarmed citizens [G20], etc.)

It is the slow beginning of the erosion and eventual restriction of Free Speech and the right to assemble.

It creates suspicion and division in the target groups (Just read through this thread)

Finally, they get to decide what is a conspiracy theory and what isn’t

These are communists, FReepers.

After all that has happened this past year I sure hope you have seen enough to accept this fact.

We must see them for what they are so that we may act against them accordingly.

Communism is alive and well, and at your doorstep, America. Wake up, please!

What do you think about the Thought Police initiative by the BHO czar?

Hard to believe anyone this utterly fantastically stupidly ignorant could get any position outside of academia.

Part of their agenda is to get as much personal information as possible about conservatives posting anonymously on websites.

Be careful about this.

These leftists are not wise enough to understand the folly of their ways or the worthlessness of their ideology.

Yes.

And don’t give any personal information to anyone here.

“Be careful about this.”

It’s far too early to be intimidated, FReepers!

It’s time to push back, not withdraw!
