A comment on a comment...

Dear Lavina commented in my last entry, that she did not believe that the Net can be censored. And I replied to her the following, in comments in my last entry. But since I never go back and read comments again {in other blogs} I will post it here.
--------------------------------------
Dear Lavinia, you said you don't believe there is any way that blogs or the internet can be censored, unless its something horrible like child pornography.

IF my country passes a law, that citizens have to do thus and so... As with the *Fairness Doctrine* which Liberal Democrats love and Obama is a Liberal Democrat... citizens of my country will have to do thus and so. Or be subject to legal prosecution.

IF your country passes laws for you, than you have to follow that law, or be subject to prosecution.

If someone else's country passes a law, that citizens must do thus and so, they have to do it. Or be subject to prosecution.

YOU can post on the Net, what YOUR country allows. EACH citizen can publish on the Net, what EACH citizen's country allows.

Do you NOT KNOW of the "Politically Correct" Laws already passed in such a country at ENGLAND?? Which forbid certain things from being published, because they may "Offend Muslims"????

Do you not know this?!?!?!

Do you think of England as being a free country? Sure you do. Well, Politically Correctness {In the mind of some} is already the Law, in England!

And in Europe... Where they love Liberal Thought...

Do you remember what happened to the Danish cartoonist/papers, which published the cartoons of Mohamed??? Do you remember what happened to the film maker who made film, critical of Islam/Muslims? MURDERED!

How is that, for return Political Correctness? They can scream about some cartoon. But we have to put up with their rantings, and what they choose to publish.

And you Christians, remember "Dung Madonna" or what ever it was called? And the urinating on the cross and on the flag? THAT was OK! In the name of Free Speech.

Did those things offend YOUR sensibilities???? Did you threaten murder and mayhem, because they were displayed???? NO!

Display a painting of the Madonna, smeared with dung. Oh that's free speech! Urinate on the cross or the flag. Oh that's free speech! No law protected the Christians from being OFFENDED, did it???

Read! Become aware! Read about so much of EUROPE, where these PC "Might Offend" laws are in place!

EUROPE "coronated" Obama when he was over there! EUROPE loves him. WHY??? Because he loves the same LIBERAL thought, which they do. The same LIBERAL thought, which decrees that Muslims, for one, must not be 'Offended.' People must be *Politically Correct*, at all cost!

Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Please, allllll who can still do so, open your eyes and dig for information and seeeeeeeeeeee...

'Lifting' from Vee...



Yes, I am brazenly 'lifting' a post idea, from Vee!!! And adding my own 2 cents worth.
Which begins thus...

"
A few weeks ago, columnist Michael Barone warned readers that Barack Obama was ready to create a “thugocracy.” Barone was talking about the looming threat that once elected President, his Administration would reinstitute the Fairness doctrine and use it to wipe conservative talk radio off the air, as well as force internet sites hostile to his policies to counter each critical article with a supportive one."

I knew about the threat to Conservative Talk Radio! I did not know that the inreinstituting of The Fairness Doctrine {which Democrats love} could force Internet sites, hostile to Obama's policies, to counter each critical article with a supportive one!

This blog is an Internet site! Your blog is an Internet site! I am hostile to Obama's policies, already. Would that impinge on my rights and freedoms? Most certainly it would! Imagine having to post a link to a supportive-to-Obama link, every time I post a link to one, hostile to his policies!!??!!

Think about it. We always thought our blog was our own, didn't we? But of course we did!

So, how does an Obama/Democratic administration sound to you, now? I'm sure you know how it sounds to me. :-(

YES, I WILL GO BACK TO SOFT, WARM, COZY HERE, WHEN THIS ELECTION IS OVER.

If necessary, I still have 'In The Mind Of A Grandmother' to be critical in. At least, for the time being. :-((((

Feels like a 'Cranberry Nut Bread' kind of a day. :-)

I know it's the season for raking leaves. And I know it's the season for gathering them, into piles at the curb. And I know it's the season for the City Public Works Dept. to pick them up. But why do they seem to *have to* begin the use of this very noisy equipment, by our bedroom window, early in the morning?!? -grin-

But it's OK with me, because the mornings are brighter, earlier. :-)


*Apologies* to those who like to keep snuggled down under the covers, early in the morning. My husband included. But! He also gets a perk out of getting up later than I do. I come down and turn on some heat. So by the time he comes down, it's warmer than when I first did.

I will not turn on heat upstairs yet!!!! And I turn heat down, downstairs before bed too!!! And use the sun {as much as possible}, to warm the area of our house where we do our living, during the time we are up. %^*&$%#^&@ to OPEC!!! Even though we heat with natural gas.
