I saw this over at HotAir.com and I thought I would share it here:
Not that this is anything new really. I have been writing about this crap sack’s lies since 2007 on my old blog.
Here are some more of Obama’s lies:
and they wonder why Joe Wilson said this:
Welcome to reality Democrats! This is what you elected and what you are about to be stuck with, when he LOSES!
This comes via Matt Mullenweg, who’s the genius behind the software that powers this blog —- and almost every other one under the sun.
Ronald Reagan said it best:
…and the Technology/Blogger/web 2.0 crowd found that out this past week, first hand. Now, do you still all want to be Democrats?
Just a thought…..
Governments that watch their people, fear them:
(Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s command center routinely monitors dozens of popular websites, including Facebook, Twitter, Hulu, WikiLeaks and news and gossip sites including the Huffington Post and Drudge Report, according to a government document.
A “privacy compliance review” issued by DHS last November says that since at least June 2010, its national operations center has been operating a “Social Networking/Media Capability” which involves regular monitoring of “publicly available online forums, blogs, public websites and message boards.”
The purpose of the monitoring, says the government document, is to “collect information used in providing situational awareness and establishing a common operating picture.”
The document adds, using more plain language, that such monitoring is designed to help DHS and its numerous agencies, which include the U.S. Secret Service and Federal Emergency Management Agency, to manage government responses to such events as the 2010 earthquake and aftermath in Haiti and security and border control related to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia.
A DHS official familiar with the monitoring program said that it was intended purely to enable command center officials to keep in touch with various Internet-era media so that they were aware of major, developing events to which the Department or its agencies might have to respond. — Homeland Security watches Twitter, social media | Reuters
I made reference to this in my previous posting. I had a video up there that could have been misinterpreated by some idiot Government zealot, so I canned it. I just do not want to take any chances. Either way, if they’re looking at the big sites, like HotAir.com; you can bet they will be looking at the smaller blogs too. I guess they figure if they cannot pass SOPA/PIPA, they will just snoop on us anyhow.
Needless to say, I will not be shooting and posting anymore videos on this blog or anywhere else. I just don’t need the hassle. 😡

When I first heard about this SOPA/PIPA bill, I really did not think much of it; in fact, my attitude was, “If you’re not doing anything illegal, you have zero to worry about!” Well, it seems that I was wrong about that.
Jane Wells over at WordPress.com has posted a video about the bill:
PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.
Quoting Jane:
You are an agent of change. Has anyone ever told you that? Well, I just did, and I meant it.
Normally we stay away from from politics here at the official WordPress project — having users from all over the globe that span the political spectrum is evidence that we are doing our job and democratizing publishing, and we don’t want to alienate any of our users no matter how much some of us may disagree with some of them personally. Today, I’m breaking our no-politics rule, because there’s something going on in U.S. politics right now that we need to make sure you know about and understand, because it affects us all.
Using WordPress to blog, to publish, to communicate things online that once upon a time would have been relegated to an unread private journal (or simply remained unspoken, uncreated, unshared) makes you a part of one of the biggest changes in modern history: the democratization of publishing and the independent web. Every time you click Publish, you are a part of that change, whether you are posting canny political insight or a cat that makes you LOL. How would you feel if the web stopped being so free and independent? I’m
concernedfreaked right the heck out about the bills that threaten to do this, and as a participant in one of the biggest changes in modern history, you should be, too.You may have heard people talking/blogging/twittering about SOPA — the Stop Online Piracy Act. The recent SOPA-related boycott of GoDaddy was all over the news, with many people expressing their outrage over the possibilities of SOPA, but when I ask people about SOPA and its sister bill in the Senate, PIPA (Protect IP Act), many don’t really know what the bills propose, or what we stand to lose. If you are not freaked out by SOPA/PIPA, please: for the next four minutes, instead of checking Facebook statuses, seeing who mentioned you on Twitter, or watching the latest episode of Sherlock*, watch this video (by Fight for the Future).
Jane’s right, WordPress does steer clear of the politics, (Bare Naked Islam notwithstanding.) and when they’re publishing something like this here; it is important.
So, head on over, and let’s stop this one cold, as united Americans.
