Midknight Review -- new and revised: Forget the NY Times and its complaint that Obama is the greatest threat to the freedom of the press in a generation. It is the citizen journalist, the Administration wants to silence.

Forget the NY Times and its complaint that Obama is the greatest threat to the freedom of the press in a generation. It is the citizen journalist, the Administration wants to silence.

U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer told the room he expects a federal shield bill to pass this year. Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin wanted to narrow the definition of a journalist from his original bill, he said, so people who write for free may not get as much protection under it as journalists who get paid for their work would. But, he said, the legislation has a “safety valve” that would afford protection if a judge decides whether any work in question is “in the interest of justice.”

Editor’s notes: This blog is a free work, a citizen’s journal of the politics of our time. Under proposals by Feinstein and one of the nation’s leading commies, Dick Durbin, I would be protected in my writing, as long as I can afford lawyer fees, court costs, AND find a judge, somewhere, who thinks I have standing to pursue a compliant against those who do not believe I am free to voice my opinions. And it is this that passes for freedom of speech, in the minds of the Democrat Left. Thanks for nothing, but no thanks.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
