It all boils down to what Reagan did in 1988 bowing to pressure from the right: "Abolishing the Fairness Doctrine". This allowed channels like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh to exist. Ninety two percent (92%) of radio talk show hosts are right wing persuasion. Public airwaves belong to the public and the fairness doctrine must be restored. Insist that the presidential candidates promise to restore the fairness doctrine and to bust the 5 media monopolies which control our thought process.

KING GEORGE GETS SCARIER AND SCARIER. ALSO SCARY IS THE WAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ACCEPT THIS ASSAULT ON THEIR FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND OTHER FREEDOMS WITHOUT PROTEST. WALKE UP AMERICA, WE ARE LOSING OUR CONSTITUTION AND OUR WAY OF LIFE.

This action by bush is believable. He is a tyrant who wants power...and he intends to rule mankind
and use that power any way possible. And, he's been taking lessons from the new pope. The Roman church knows how to "rule". The used torture and killing to enforce their rules all through the Middle Ages.

Wake up NOW America! This may be the biggest assault on our civil liberties and the constitution to date. If this doesn't mobilize people to immediate action, then the responsibilty lies with us and we deserve the consequences.

This presidential executive order is unique in that it criminalizes free speech and expression of thought for anyone who "in their opinion threatens the peace or stability of Iraq or the Government of Iraq", or who "undermines efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq". How many times have we heard the Bush administration accuse Democrats of threatening the stability in Iraq by their public speeches and written editorials? It's a daily occurrence. These particular clauses in the executive order are not directed at people who support violent acts, they clearly are meant to suppress free speech and the expression of ideas on Iraq that are not aligned with theirs.

This executive order is particularly dangerous since the determination of a violation won't be made by an impartial jury, but by the "Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense". Meaning, anyone on the right with connections to the Bush administration who wants to punish someone for their free speech and political views can have that person's property seized. It's also worth noting that the property seizures can be done with "no advance notice" whatsoever.

As his days in office dwindle, Bush is acting more and more like a wounded animal painted into a corner, but with his fangs intact. I fully expect to see more of these egregious attacks on our constitutional rights and the comfortably numb American people better hit the panic button now before it's too late.
