Under financial overhaul, FTC could gain enforcement power over Internet

As the alternate media has become a formidable challenge to the propaganda media the opposition seeks ways to control it without must notice.  So, they bury a provision for internet regulation with a popular financial reform bill.  As reported in the Washington Post, "Under financial overhaul, FTC could gain enforcement power over Internet"  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/26/AR2010042604335.html

Excerpt from:  http://hotair.com/archives/2010/05/01/why-does-the-wall-street-regulation-overhaul-give-ftc-authority-over-the-internet/

"Even considering that pattern, this is something out of the ordinary. Neither the FTC nor the Internet had anything to do with the Wall Street meltdown in 2008.  If this financial-regulation bill is so desperately needed, why did House Democrats lard it up with this power grab at the FTC?  Why does the FTC need any further authority over the Internet, where fraud and abuse regulations apply already?   The Internet economy has been one of the bright spots throughout a dismal period of recent history.  Do we need to attack the one area that shows growth and promise?

Nancy Pelosi knows that her Democratic majorities won’t last much longer.  She wants to leave behind a Byzantine structure of unaccountable bureaucrats and embedded power to accomplish what she can’t get through the legitimate processes of lawmaking, and she’s hiding those efforts in so-called emergency legislation.  Keep an eye on this during the conference committee on the financial-regulation bill; it’s not in the Senate version, but will almost certainly reappear in the conference report."

Disgusting - Bishops Warn Democrats Not to Sneak in Same-sex Marriage Laws with Immigration Reform

When the Church opposed the original Arizona law against illegal immigrants, I doubt whether She wanted to side with anarchists, communists and Aztlan revolutionaries either.
Here's the Bishops'  position:  http://www.usccb.org/comm/archives/2010/10-084.shtml

Pictures from the rallies say it all.  http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2010/05/shhh-no-one-tell-media-pro-amnesty.html

But aside from that, the Democrats, true to their form, can use this crisis to sneak in their nefarious legislation e.g. same sex marriages.  That is why the bishops urged them to not do that.

"Bishop Wester pointed to flaws in the framework that require revision, including a controversial provision that would permit same-sex couples to receive immigration benefits equal to married couples.  He also pointed out that enforcement measures in the framework should not violate basic rights, and that policies that address the root causes of migration should be addressed."


"While we support the general direction of the framework, including a legalization of the undocumented and improvements to our employment and family-based immigration systems, we strongly oppose extending marriage-like immigration benefits to same-sex relationships.  This proposal threatens to undermine the opportunity to bring together the Congress and the American people around a common solution to the important challenge of immigration reform."

Healthcare Pop Up Video

A comedic commentary on the travesty of lawmaking and the trash in the healthcare law that was forced by the Democrats led by Obama against the will of the people - just because they can.

Popular & Fun Country Music Video: THE GREAT RENEGER

Enjoy a new wildly popular country song with over 2.6 million hits!  If the end justifies the means then reneging on promises is no big deal.  That's another major difference between the Right and the Left.  The Right knows that the means have a morality in themselves.  The Left lie, cheat and force unpopular, immoral and unconstitutional laws just because they can.

The Pro-Choice Public Education Project Holds That There Should Be More Abortions.

With the Clintons, the position was:  Make abortions safe, legal and rare.  With Obama it became make abortion legal but try to reduce the need for it by addressing the causes of abortion.  (On the side, though sounding humanitarian and compassionate, these positions are still immoral.  And I think those were just words in Obama's case.)

Yesterday, we read in a liberal website, that abortion should be more not less and is actually good for the health of the woman.  Aimée Thorne-Thomsen of  Pro-Choice Public Education Project writes,  "On the other hand, if those 1.21 million abortions represent only the women who could access abortion financially, geographically or otherwise, then that number is too low. Yes, too low. If that’s the case, then what is an appropriate response? How do we best support women and their reproductive health? Do we dare admit that increasing the number of abortions might be not only good for women’s health, but also moral and just?"

It is hard to understand how some people can be so blinded about the personhood of an unborn child.  I guess if one has been stunted into being a perpetual child, then one's capacity to see others outside oneself is equally impaired.  And I thought women had a maternal instinct.
