Another First Amendment Skeever in the White House

"...Radio jamming, which was proposed to try to suppress these hateful broadcasts ...something as seemingly innocuous as radio jamming ...Knowing that even talking about radio jamming, there's a clog-up; that you're not going to get very far ...There was no noise clamoring for anything other than radio jamming from the rest of us ...It's not enough simply to be passively in favor of a value-driven U.S. foreign policy ...Tony Lake ...National Security Adviser of the United States ...said, 'Look, I hear you, I hear about radio jamming...' ...So radio jamming gets debated, and the response is, 'Well, you know, if we actually jam hate radio, it violates freedom of speech...'"

Samantha Power in a 2003 PBS interview about African genocide.  Yet another liberal whose first instinct is to CRUSH free speech as though the exchange of ideas is TOXIC rather than the essential DNA of liberty.


Who's Samantha Power?  She's the one who called Hillary Clinton a "monster" during the campaign, which got her canned, then immediately hired once Obama won, on the National Security Council.


Bonus? She's married to Cass Sunstein. Who's he? The last stop before law touches you. He's the regulatory czar. He crosses the t's and dots the i's on law before it leave the door and actually starts functioning in real life.  He takes the laws and says "Okay. The law says we have to do this... How?"  He's the nuts and bolts guy. So if the legislation is full of squishy language like "may" or "fair" or "reasonable" HE DECIDES what that means.  Sunstein's the guy that thinks all sites on the internet should be FORCED to link to opposing opinion.  Know what that means?  If you don't do it, the federal government would have the power to act on that... Do you *really* want the federal government to have that much power over you? REALLY?


God help us all.
