More evidence Obama is a Fascist

Cass Sunstein is Barack Obama's nominee for "regulatory czar". He advocates a "Fairness Doctrine" for the Internet that would require opposing opinions be linked and also has suggested angry e-mails should be prevented from being sent by technology that would require a 24-hour cooling off period.

Sunstein has argued that the Internet is anti-democratic because of the way users can filter out information they don’t want to see.

"A system of limitless individual choices, with respect to communications, is not necessarily in the interest of citizenship and self-government," he wrote. "Democratic efforts to reduce the resulting problems ought not be rejected in freedom's name." Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness with Richard Thaler (Yale University Press, 2008).

He wants to put a “Civility Check” into the internet that restricts how and when you can send email that may be considered to be angry. He believes that everything we read online, right down to our personal e-mail communications, should be inspected and approved by the federal government prior to posting on the net.

Sunstein’s basic political philosophy is sometimes described as libertarian paternalism. This philosophy believes the state can “help you make the choices you would make for yourself—if only you had the strength of will and the sharpness of mind.”

This is a sick philosophy which inherently considers people as too weak willed to know what’s best for themselves, and stresses that the government knows best how people should live their lives. So through government coercion, he espouses that the government manipulate the populace to do what the government thinks is best. Right down to forcing you to being exposed to whatever ideas the government wants you to be exposed to, rather than let you filter what you want through the internet. Compare this philosophy to the Philosophy of Liberty.

Since he is Obama’s nominee obviously Obama wants his ideas in our government. Obama must also believe that everything we read online, right down to our personal e-mail communications, should be inspected and approved by the federal government. His Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has been quoted as saying we have too much Freedom of Speech, and there should be a “Gatekeeper” to news and information. It is obvious that Obama is a fascist, and believes the government knows what’s best for us, and should be in control of the press, private industry, even individual opinions and ideas.
