Daily “we the people” are subject to the “WE POWER” of the elitist Washington Bureaucrats.
In lay terminology that means SCREW the “we the people” because they do not know anything anyway and THEY MIGHT toss a monkey wrench into the WORKS WE (the elitist Washington Bureaucrats) ARE TRYING TO FOIST ON THEM … should they figure it out.

THE ISSUE:

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama’s nominee (Cass Sunstein) for “regulatory czar” has advocated a “Fairness Doctrine” for the Internet that would require opposing opinions be linked and also has suggested angry e-mails should be prevented from being sent by technology that would require a 24-hour cooling off period.

The revelations about Cass Sunstein, Obama’s friend from the University of Chicago Law School and nominee to head the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, come in a new book by Brad O’Leary, “Shut Up, America! The End of Free Speech.” OIRA will oversee regulation throughout the U.S. government.

Sunstein also has argued in his prolific literary works that the Internet is anti-democratic because of the way users can filter out information of their own choosing.

“A system of limitless individual choices, with respect to communications, is not necessarily in the interest of citizenship and self-government,” he wrote. “Democratic efforts to reduce the resulting problems ought not be rejected in freedom’s name.”

Whole story at: MEDIA MATTERS

Well of course it isn’t (for those like Sunstein). Thinking people … willing to voice their opinion do make it harder for them to be enslaved. You know that old adage “2 heads (or maybe 100) are better than one” thing?

What Washington DOES NOT WANT is the public THINKING ON ITS OWN much less putting it into print on the internet for posterity.

Funny thing about the internet. As Google, Yahoo and the other search engine technology gets better and better the Washington elitist is more and more at risk of said elitist BEING EXPOSED for exactly what they are (whatever that might be).

Check it out for yourself. Pull up Google and type in Nancy Pelosi … SURPRISE! … you get 4,060,000 pages referencing our esteemed Speaker of the House. Don’t you think San Fran Nan would LOVE all of the NOT SO GLOWING information be removed from that data bank? …. ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing) … kind of a duh question don’t ya think?

Do the same for Cass Sunstein … well only 352,000 pages … probably not nearly as much negative stuff because to date he is virtually an unknown to “we the people”.

The point is in all of those 4,060,000 and 352,000 pages DON’T YOU THINK a smart “we the people” person could sift through the mass and figure it out for him/herself?
Looks like a pretty adequate system using free speech as far as I can see. What do you think?

It is probably a good idea if “WE THE PEOPLE” rise up and squash this ASSAULT ON FREE SPEECH IMMEDIATELY!

Just a heads up on how this works in the real world. 13 years ago in my activist days I wrote an exposing piece on a certain doctor. Anytime today when ANYONE runs a search on his name? … guess what? … that exposure piece comes up on the first page in Google right under his educational credentials.

THAT MY FRIENDS IS WHY THEY WANT TO SHUT US UP! … make no mistake that is exactly what all of this is designed to do no matter how they candy coat it.
