Pelosi the Pinhead Totalitarian

Robert remembered it, and Jack found it....and you'd better read this quote....'cause this woman is in charge of writing legislation that affects your life.

In answering a question from a student about how Pelosi was going to get Americans to cut back on their carbon emissions, the leading Democratic lawmaker said it was important to educate children on how to conserve energy and for citizens to build more environmentally friendly homes.

"We have so much room for improvement," she said. "Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory ... of how we are taking responsibility."

Do you suppose she meant a private, personal, individual, spiritual, moral "inventory"....or given her record, do you suppose she means that the government must make an inventory of all of our lives to determine if we are "improving" and "taking responsibility" in ways of which the Imperial State approves?

Not much doubt, is there?

Here's the source...Nancy Pelosi's own website. Apparently bragging about this opinion.

Similarities

This began as an anonymous comment on another blog, though it is often attributed to, among others, historian David Kaiser. The real author is known only as TPS.

History Unfolding

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

POTUS vs FOX

Apparently Obama's White House has drawn the battle lines. And they have determined that Fox News is "the enemy".

When you read this story, if you're not completely infuriated by the unbelievable arrogance of this Administration, call someone to check your pulse.

And one thing you might remember as you do is the lightning fast sniper response to criticism from Fox News, versus the slogging, slow, dragging, hesitating, dithering response to the request for troops in a real war, where Americans are dying.

Here are just a few tidbits of the sort of tactics the "Leader of the Free World", the "President of all the people", and "sworn defender of the Constitution" and its First Amendment, which includes "freedom of the press":

Obama senior adviser David Axelrod went further by calling on media outlets to join the administration in declaring that Fox is "not a news organization."

"Other news organizations like yours ought not to treat them that way," Axelrod counseled ABC's George Stephanopoulos. "We're not going to treat them that way."

This should be insulting to the Fringe Media...to be thought of as such lap dogs that they obey when commanded to eat their own!

The White House stopped providing guests to 'Fox News Sunday' after Wallace fact-checked controversial assertions made by Tammy Duckworth, assistant secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, in August. Dunn said fact-checking an administration official was "something I've never seen a Sunday show do."

"She criticized 'FOX News Sunday' last week for fact-checking -- fact-checking -- an administration official," Wallace said Sunday. "They didn't say that our fact-checking was wrong. They just said that we had dared to fact-check."

The clear implication is that "news" organizations are supposed to listen politely to whatever this administration's flacks say, broadcast it as factual truth, and never question them...

...while CNN "fact-checks" skits on Saturday Night Live, to see if they've been unfair to Obama!

Fox News senior vice president Michael Clemente said: "Surprisingly, the White House continues to declare war on a news organization instead of focusing on the critical issues that Americans are concerned about like jobs, health care and two wars. The door remains open and we welcome a discussion about the facts behind the issues."

Mr. Clemente displays a lot more decorum and patience with this rogue Administration than I would.

And others see this as a tactical—maybe even a strategic mistake for the pinheads in the White House. New York Times media columnist David Carr wrote:

"So far, the only winner in this latest dispute seems to be Fox News. Ratings are up 20 percent this year. The administration, by deploying official resources against a troublesome media organization, seems to have brought a knife to a gunfight."

This kind of strong-arm, clear-the-field tactic has worked for Obama his entire career. But maybe Chicago thug tactics don't work on the national/international stage with the entire world watching.

Sing HIS Praises

Wow, remind you of anything?

I'd guess this is as disturbing to you as it is to me.

Brownshirts at the Rummage Sale

"If you're planning a garage sale or organizing a church bazaar, you'd best beware: You could be breaking a new federal law. As part of a campaign called Resale Roundup, the federal government is cracking down on the secondhand sales of dangerous and defective products.

The initiative, which targets toys and other products for children, enforces a new provision that makes it a crime to resell anything that's been recalled by its manufacturer.

"Those who resell recalled children's products are not only breaking the law, they are putting children's lives at risk," said Inez Tenenbaum, the recently confirmed chairwoman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission."

WATCH GLENN BECK TODAY!

(2pm PDT & 11pm PDT on Fox News Channel)

Rush Limbaugh will be joining Glenn Beck for an exposé on the FCC.

Glenn has said this is the scariest thing he's dug up so far...that the Slobbering Marxist Media refuse to cover. I expect it will be the FCC plans to Silence Dissent...that final line in the sand that I have said will prove the true Fascism of this Administration, and the totalitarian Progressives who support it.

Be sure to watch. They need to be exposed. We need to know what they're up to—so we can plan our resistance appropriately.

Ignorance is not bliss....it leads to tyranny.

(How long until the "Fairness Doctrine" is applied to the Internet?)
