1 in 4 Americans censoring thoughts under Obama
WorldNetDaily ^ | MARCH 27, 2010 | Bob Unruh

Nearly one American in four routinely censors his or her own thoughts "much" or "always" under President Obama's administration, and those who believe their personal liberties have plunged since inauguration day have grown significantly from 49 percent to more than 55 percent in just one month.

This month, of course, was when Democrats rammed through a bill that essentially nationalizes health care, creating new requirements for consumers to purchase a government-chosen plan or face penalties.

The WND Freedom Index poll from Wenzel Strategies shows even one in 10 Democrats – whose party controls both the White House and Congress – believes there's been a big decrease in freedoms.

"Largely on the negative reaction by men to the actions of Obama and Democrats in Washington, the Freedom Index has dipped again to its near all-time low, sitting at 46.7 on a 100-point scale," said Fritz Wenzel in his analysis of the results.

"Simply put, Americans are growing by the month more pessimistic about their freedoms and their fear that government is trying to take them away."

If most freepers said what they really thought of Obama they’d be banned.

My mental censor board has definitely been working overtime lately.

I for one am much more careful in what I post on the Internet and in my personal e-mails. The reason why is I don't trust the government any longer.

My husband told me not to talk about him or other politicians on the phone. He said something about the feds monitoring transmissions looking for key words to be spoken.

Look what happened to Massa? The very 'thought' of Raham Emannuel showing up in a shower butt naked is enough to cause the mind to go blank.
