Picture this if you will. One day you sit down to your computer and log onto your favorite website. That of course would be the Black Bear Blog. There you find a story about 300 scientists who have gathered in Chicago to discuss the prospects of global cooling, update everyone on the fallout from Climategate and provide the best available science about our changing climate. In the middle of your reading, this annoying bubble keeps popping up trying to tell you that if you go over to the website Climate Debate Daily, you’ll get an opposing view.

So that you know, the administrator of the Black Bear Blog did not provide that service for you. That would be compliments of Cass Sunstein and his dictator Barack Obama. This is just one idea these intellectuals have for us ignoramuses because we just aren’t smart enough to figure out right from wrong or what our interests are.

You may even think that it’s a good idea to have such a feature on all websites. From my own perspective, if the Internet Marketplace demands that this be the trend, then more than likely I would keep up with the demands of my readers and give them what they want. Government should have no business telling me or anyone else that I must provide a link to a website with an opposing view.

I heard this being discussed on the radio yesterday and someone asked if this sort of opposing view enforcement would be carried out to involve everyone and everything? In other words, when the president is giving his State of the Union Address, will there be a script rolling across the bottom of the screen informing viewers where they can go or who they can listen to that has an opposing view?

I remember when I began making a few waves about Internet regulation, etc., I was told that this would never happen in America. I was fear mongering. Well, it hasn’t happened yet but there sure are a lot of people in high places that want to see it happen.

If FCC Chairman Genachowski announces his intention to reclassify the Internet as a telephone system, he will be reversing 30 years of precedent

By Phil Kerpen – FOXNews.com

As I have repeatedly warned and noted on www.ObamaChart.com, when Congress blocks the Obama administration, the White House always finds a way to get around the normal policy-making process and pursue its agenda by other means. Today’s reclassification assault on the Internet is the latest-and perhaps the most egregious-example.

In its effort to imposing crippling net neutrality regulations on the Internet-an idea with very little support from the American public or Congress-the Obama administration first turned to the FCC simply to pretend Congress has given it authority to regulate. <<<Read the Rest>>>

Not only is Olbermann calling for reduced freedom in America, but the company that employs him has been using its own influence to save itself at taxpayer expense, says National Center for Public Policy Research Free Enterprise Project director Tom Borelli.

The decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission eases certain restrictions on the free speech of businesses, associations, organized labor and certain advocacy groups with regard to their participation in political campaigns. Olbermann suggested the decision in the Citizens United case would lead to corporations and wealthy citizens essentially buying lawmakers.

MSNBC is currently owned by General Electric.

Borelli said:

“To call increased political participation a threat to democracy is ludicrous. What seems to be the case is that Keith Olbermann wants to keep the playing field clear for his employer.

“Taxpayers kept GE solvent by bailing out GE Capital – the company’s financial arm. Yet the company now escapes Obama’s assault against the banking industry. Additionally, GE’s lobbying army – which has a $20 million annual budget – helped secure hundreds of millions of dollars for the company’s utility customers from Obama’s economic stimulus package, and the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill that passed the House of Representatives would mandate the purchase of renewable energy products such as GE’s wind turbines.

“Let’s also not forget that taxpayer money was also used to prop up GE during the credit crisis. Shockingly, it’s our money that was used to pay Keith Olbermann’s salary.

Both shareholders and taxpayers should be outraged because GE CEO Jeff Immelt and Olbermann continue to use MSNBC to attack the American people in a failing effort to defend President Obama’s left-wing policies. Ultimately, for them, this effort may be a marketplace failure. To wit, GE’s NBC unit just today reported a 30 percent drop in profit.

“Immelt and Olbermann may have secured favors from the Obama Administration, but they are just continuing to prop up a losing enterprise.”

The decision in Citizens United eases certain restrictions on the free speech of businesses, associations, organized labor and certain advocacy groups with regard to their participation in political campaigns. In response, Grayson said: “This is the worst Supreme Court decision since the Dred Scott case.”

In the 1857 Dred Scott decision, the Supreme Court ruled that black Americans who were either slaves or the descendants of slaves could not be, and never had been, U.S. citizens. The decision, formally known as Scott v. Sandford, also invalidated the 1820 Missouri Compromise, which prohibited slavery in portions of U.S. territories in the west.

Project 21 members said:

Bishop Council Nedd II: “In Dred Scott, the Court equated people with property. The Court’s decision today was about giving people a voice. There is no correlation between the two. Congressman Grayson needs to apologize. His flippant and unenlightened statement offends me personally, and it disrespects generations of black people who suffered from slavery.” (Council Nedd II is the bishop of the Chesapeake and the Northeast for the Episcopal Missionary Church.)

Horace Cooper: “Where has Representative Alan Grayson been? He compares today’s landmark decision – in which free speech trumps FEC restrictions – to the awful ruling that black people are nothing more than property. He’s off base yet again. It’s more than a little ironic that Democrats praised Dred Scott when it was handed down over a hundred years ago, yet now stand opposed to fundamental freedoms such as free speech today.” (Horace Cooper is a former visiting assistant professor at the George Mason University School of Law.)

Ellis Washington: “As a black man, I am outraged that Representative Grayson would equate the bondage of slavery with today’s Court ruling extending freedom of speech to businesses and corporations in the political process, and having the courage to bring modern jurisprudence in line with the guarantees of the Constitution. In other words, the Court held that money equals speech and radio shows, media entities and corporations equal people. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech for everyone!” (Ellis Washington is a former editor of the Michigan Law Review.)

In his majority opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote: “Our nation’s speech dynamic is changing, and informative voices should not have to circumvent onerous restrictions to exercise their First Amendment rights. The censorship we now confront is vast in its reach.”

An Historical moment coming from the halls of Congress.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one political party to dissolve the political party of another which have connected them with sane and rational discourse and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of the democrats and of Nature’s God entitle them, a disrespect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare certain words and phrases unusable which impel them to the separation with the rest of society, due to elitism, narcissism and ignorance.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that those with opposing views are not created equal, that they are endowed by their party leader with certain rationed Rights, that among these are abortion, health care and the rules of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and their almighty leader.

With nothing pressing to work on in Congress, it is vitally important that morons and idiots set about thinking up bad words and phrases that can’t be said in school. For the millions of unemployed, I’m sure they can rest much easier today knowing that someone cares.

I believe the date we need to focus on is November 2, 2010.

In this country we refer to such blatant biased media as being “in the tank” or “kool-aid drinkers”, etc. We can’t say that our media is directly owned and operated by the government, yet, but the effect is the same. Right now we still have talk radio and the Internet where people who want to know the truth can go and get the truth. But it requires work.

All Americans, regardless of their political persuasions, should be concerned. I tell my friends and family to be careful as there is no reason to assume that the information you are getting from the regular sources – television, newspapers, magazines – contains truth. This is what it has come to.

What has been a component of the creation of the greatest country on earth has been free speech and an honest media source whose goal was to report events important to the lives of Americans. That reporting, whose foundation was built on journalistic integrity, has eroded and left us with suppression of information and a biased resource. This becomes a real danger to Americans who can no longer make decisions based on truth. It is also a major step toward the destruction of this country.

We have to somehow convince these media sources that we no longer are interested in what they are selling. We need to stop buying their papers and stop watching their news shows. People cannot trust that the information they get is honest journalism. That’s sad.

Americans everywhere need to speak up!

Hello All,

By now you have probably heard that President Obama came to Montana last Friday. However, there are many things that the major news has not covered. I feel that since Bill and I live here and we were at the airport on Friday I should share some facts with you. Whatever you decide to do with the information is up to you. If you chose to share this email with others I do ask that you DELETE my email address before you forward this on.

On Wednesday, August 5th it was announced locally that the President would be coming here. There are many groups here that are against his healthcare and huge spending so those groups began talking and deciding on what they were going to do. The White House would not release ANY details other than the date.

On about Tuesday Bill found out that they would be holding the “Town Hall” at the airport. (This is only because Bill knows EVERYONE at the airport) Our airport is actually located outside of Belgrade (tiny town) in a very remote location. Nothing is around there. They chose to use a hangar that is the most remotely located hangar. You could not pick a more remote location, and you can not get to it easily. It is totally secluded from the public.
FYI: We have many areas in Belgrade and Bozeman which could have held a large amount of folks with sufficient parking. (gymnasiums/auditoriums). All of which have chairs and tables, and would not have to be SHIPPED IN!! $$$$$
During the week, cargo by the TONS was being shipped in constantly. Airport employees could not believe how it just kept coming. Though it was our President coming several expressed how excessive it was, especially during a recession. $$$$$

Late Tuesday/early Wednesday the 12th, they said that tickets would be handed out on Thursday 9am at two locations and the president would be arriving around 12:30 Friday.

Thursday morning about 600 tickets were passed out. However, 1500 were printed at a Local printing shop per White House request. Hmmmm……900 tickets just DISAPPEARED.
This same morning someone called into the radio from the local UPS branch and said that THOUSANDS of Dollars of Lobster were shipped in for Obama. Montana has some of the best beef in the nation!!! And it would have been really wonderful to help out the local economy. Anyone heard of the Recession?? Just think…with all of the traveling the White House is doing. $$$$$ One can only imagine what else we are paying for.

On Friday Bill and I got out to the airport about 10:45am. The groups that wanted to protest Obama’s spending and healthcare had gotten a permit to protest and that area was roped off. But that was not to be. A large bus carrying SEIU (Service Employees International Union) members drove up onto the area (illegal)and unloaded right there. It was quite a commotion and there were specifically 2 SEIU men trying to make trouble and start a fight. Police did get involved and arrested the one man but they said they did not have the manpower to remove the SEIU crowd.
The SEIU crowd was very organized and young. About 99% were under the age of 30 and they were not locals! They had bullhorns and PROFESSIONALLY made signs. Some even wore preprinted T-shirts. Oh, and Planned Parenthood folks were with them…..professing abortion rights with their T-shirts and preprinted signs. (BTW, all these folks did have a permit to protest in ANOTHER area)

Those against healthcare/spending moved away from the SEIU crowd to avoid confrontation. They were orderly and respectful. Even though SEIU kept coming over and walking through, continuing to be very intimidating and aggressive at the direction of the one SEIU man.

So we had Montana folks from ALL OVER the state with their homemade signs and their DOGS with homemade signs. We had cowboys, nurses, doctors you name it. There was even a guy from Texas who had been driving through. He found out about the occasion, went to the store, made a sign, and came to protest.

If you are wondering about the press…..Well, all of the major networks were over by that remote hangar I mentioned. They were conveniently parked on the other side of the buildings FAR away. None of these crowds were even visible to them. I have my doubts that they knew anything about the crowds.
We did have some local news media around us from this state and Idaho . Speaking of the local media…they were invited. However, all questions were to be turned into the White House in advance of the event. Wouldn’t want anyone to have to think off the top of their head.

It was very obvious that it was meant to be totally controlled by the White House. Everything was orchestrated down to the last detail to make it appear that Montana is just crazy for Obama and government healthcare. Even those people that talked about their insurance woes……..the White House called our local HRDC (Human Resource and Development Committee) and asked for names. Then the White House asked those folks to come. Smoke and mirrors…EVERYTHING was staged!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very dismayed about what I learned about our current White House. The amount of control and manipulation was unbelievable. I felt I was not living in the United States of America , more like the USSR !! I was physically nauseous. Bill and I have been around when Presidents or Heads of State visit. It has NEVER been like this. I am truly very frightened for our country. America needs your prayers and your voices. If you care about our country please get involved. Know the issues. And let Congress hear your voices again and again!! If they are willing to put forth so much effort to BULLY a small town one can only imagine what is going on in Washington DC . Scary!!
