Regulation Nation is an Obamanation

If Obama has his way, internet freedom will be eradicated and all communication will be overseen by his administration and eventually the government.
I received an email from Ben Sasse about the current situation regarding the Internet and Obama's desire to regulate it to his advantage. Below is my take on the letter and a link where you can sign a petition to have the FCC hear your opinion.

In Turkey, Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan had similar goals: "We now have a court order. We will eradicate Twitter; I don't care what the international community says. Everyone will witness the power of the Turkish Republic."

Obama and Erdogan have company. In 2009, Iran began a crackdown on the Internet and China has been doing it for years. Last year, Russia forced Facebook to remove content that was critical of Vladimir Putin, so you might be seeing a pattern here.

Last November, President Obama called upon the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to classify the Internet as a public utility, which by doing so, would put the government in the position of having the jurisdiction to police it. 

Now that's Orwellian. 

We certainly don't need the government to have regulatory power over the Internet and with Obama as president, it could only work to the advantage of the far left and perhaps a certain religious group.

The worst part is that it's all happening too fast, and Obama is trying to bypass Congress and push this regulation through before the public gets to hear the debate. 

Now that's Pelosian.

Free speech and expression are far too important to allow a leftist like Obama to regulate them. The FCC will be voting on this issue February 26th. If this matters to you, go here to sign the petition to stop Obama. 

If you don't, you probably will not be able to read my blog or others that take an opposing point of view from the powers that be. And Twitter? Forget about it.

Obama's New Hitmen

The Obama administration (or regime, take your pick), is now using the IRS for political purposes. He is now using this already messed up branch of government to oversee businesses. Companies must now swear that if they lay off any workers that  they are not doing it due to Obamacare. Of course, this comes to us by the man who would be king.

In a country that has become great because of our freedoms and free enterprise, this administration is looking to impose itself into what used to be the free market by dictating what a company can and cannot do in order to ensure its own survival. The purpose of the employer mandate the administration released on February 10th was to make the compliance process easier for employers. The 227 page document had a requirement, hidden on pages 125-126 where employers had to swear, under penalty of perjury, that they haven't scaled down the number of employees or cut back hours to protect themselves from the costs of Obamacare.

The IRS is already under investigation (albeit by a big Obama campaign donor) for its unlawful practice of political bias toward the left, and now the left wants the IRS to come down hard on employers to do business their way. It's going to hurt them and perhaps destroy them, but it seems that Obama doesn't give a rat's butt--his signature legislation is more important than the people it supposedly was written to serve.

A significant percentage of America doesn't want Obamacare. Insofar as the "Affordable Care Act" is concerned, it is neither affordable and the government doesn't really care. The only accurate thing is that it is an act, one perpetrated on the American people.

Maybe it's time for all of us to write to our representatives and tell them how we feel. Mine, unfortunately, is Chuck "Mega-Nostrils" Schumer. He makes Karl Marx look like Rand Paul. But perhaps your senators and representatives will realize what a disaster Obamacare is.
