Revolt is coming.

Maybe, but not from the newsroom.

I’m waiting for CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC to start screaming foul. Will not happen. They will go along with it since they are already de facto state run media anyway.

I’m waiting for Somebody anybody in Congress to start talking impeachment.

expect more of this crap the next three years.

Obozo has his departments lined up to accomplish his Red agenda, even if Congress won’t play along.

keep your powder dry.

I read this and at first I thought it was a joke or satire.

Then, I read that it was actually true, I feel that it’s not funny at all, unless your sense of humor runs to the Pol Pot / Idi Amin / Lavrenty Beria side of the “kooky humor and satire” spectrum.

Rather, via the internet.

Keep a close eye on May 16, 2014, Operation American Spring is going to take place in DC.

“If the FCC goes forward,”

Won’t happen. I do believe that Al Franken himself would go ballistic.

That same MSM, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, & MSNBC will NEVER let that happen.

Anyone talking IMPEACHMENT will be called out as RACIST.

I’m waiting not only for impeachment of Obama but for the removing of the underlings who apparently see such government programs as suitable for a people under our Founders created Constitution. I don’t want any of these underlings/traitors near my freedoms. If needed such people should be treated much like rats in peoples homes.

You are prolly right. I’m not expecting the Congress to save America. What you are seeing in the Ukraine right now is likely to happen here.

This is the long expected Goebbels Gestapo style move.They will not prevent speech they disagree with...yet. They will take names and addresses and send them to the Obama intel function.Then the squeeze behind the scenes begins...IRS audits......etc.

Put a chill on the way news is broadcast. You bet.

Yep, its a 1st amendment issue.

Like we have said so many times, Obama is a fascist.

Few believe it. But seriously, Obama really is a fascist and now we see more of his true face.Thought police in AMerica. Who woulda thunk it in 2008? We did.

Good Read:

Barack Obama; The Quintessential Fascist:

The study identified eight "critical needs": information about emergencies and risks; health and welfare; education; transportation; economic opportunities; the environment; civic information; and political information.

It should be no surprise that the administration that has turned the IRS on its political opponents now proposes to turn the FCC on its allies in order to keep them in line. It is a sad surprise just how very supine the latter turn out to be. These, recall, are the self-styled guardians of American freedom who are offering theirs up to their master on a plate. Sad, but all too believable.
