Do not read these words under penalty of law

I presume you've already seen it -- but if not, check out the interview that everyone is talking about: "The coming crackdown on blogging."

Yep, just to make sure that their propaganda stranglehold is absolute, our leaders may soon use strained arguments to crack down on blogs that are said to "contribute" to a political campaing, even by way of a hyperlink.

Dig it: According to Mitch McConnell, massive corporate donations to Bush are protected free speech. But according to some members of the FEC, the words you are reading now may NOT be protected. Especially not if I say "Vote Democratic" and provide a link to a Dem site.

Let's stop saying "Fascism is coming." That's like saying "The 21st Century will be upon us soon," or "One day, man will walk on the moon."

Yes, and while working to shut down the blogosphere, the facists also want to remove the fillabuster in order to stack the Courts, effectively neutralizing any pesky challenges to the State or Dear Leader. Robert Byrd called them on this recently on the Senate floor. He probably knows that the days of even being permitted to publicly express an opposing viewpoint are numbered.

Let's face it; the Constitution is no more, and our country is not a democracy but a tarnished example of a tyrrany.
