No doubt MSM wants to control information, all information. They predictably go on the attack with those who dare disagree with their agenda. We can spare you all the by now trite, inane epithets they roll out to neutralize and vilify.
The Father of the Patriot Act was Joe Biden. Now we all know Joe as a guy who never saw a boast he didn't want to claim. But one has to forgive Joe. He's got a bad case of Al Gore disease, poor fellow. So what's the connection? Americans made a trade off with the devil. Recall at the time the Patriot Act went through the Hollywood loudmouths all went off on Bush for infringing on personal privacy and liberty. This is one of the few things these self righteous asses ever got right. They blamed Bush, as they should've. But big Joe Biden by his own big mouth ran interference for that bill. And as we all know, Joe Biden is big. Just ask him.
Now we have the current lame duck wreaking his last in-your-face havoc before he rides off to his DC tony digs. No envy here. Just par for the DC course. See John Boehner, the Clinton Foundation and a host of other so-called public servants, including one who is currently running for a highbrow titular position, take away the on-going illegal expansion of executive powers since FDR. One of this person's last acts will be out sourcing your Internet.
A story afloat today is the Dem-laded FEC is preparing documents to band other news sources like Fox. We are no defender of Fox other than their right to exist absent centralized government intervention. The same way the leftist organizations like CNN, PBS, MSNBC and others do.
MSM wants you to believe the alternative news columns are written by half-ass freaks and bigots, mostly Caucasian. You can believe that if you want. But we recall seeing a male Caucasian Hillary campaign worker and close insider saying he hated white folks. This came right after some of those email DNC leaks appeared, pointing out this gentleman, we use that term advisedly, was a half-assed, freak bigot. So apparently the old rule holds: Takes ones to know one. And we hope he sees this. As we said before the gauntlet is down. Irrespective of who wins this election, Wall Street's favorite, Hillary, or the editorial board at the Wall Street Journal's most disturbing, Donald, it will solve little to nothing.
Both of these represent the status quo crowd. Without changing the fundamentals it's all just a meretricious face lift. And a cheap one, if there is such a thing, at that. In the meantime, guard your liberty because it slipping away faster than you can shout rigged system. And don't let MSM bully you. They will if they can.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” But for President Obama, those two ideas aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.
In his final speech before the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, Obama took the opposite approach to Franklin’s suggestion when he essentially called for a submission to world government. In his mind, giving up small freedoms to achieve international security is well worth the sacrifice.
The president said the world must focus on the promises the U.N. was founded on, and that is to “replace the ravages of war with cooperation” but the only way to realize that is for “nations like my own [to] accept constraints.” In that submission, Obama furthers, America is trading a bit of its freedoms for enhanced security. He said in full:
"We have to put our money where our mouths are. And we can only realize the promise of this institution’s founding to replace the ravages of war with cooperation if powerful nations like my own accept constraints. Sometimes I’m criticized in my own country for professing a belief in international norms and multilateral institutions, but I am convinced that in the long run giving up some freedom of action, not giving up our ability to protect ourselves or pursue our core interests but binding ourselves to international rules, over the long-term, enhances our security."For anyone counting, Obama has 121 days, 7 hours, 3 minutes, and 42 seconds left in office. There's plenty of time to deal more damage to the foundations of our exceptional country, and he will do all he can to see it through.
