http://www.newstarget.com/022308.html Can Senate Bill 1959 criminalize thoughts, blogs, books, and free speech across America?
Under the pretext of terrorism they can pretty much shove anything down our throats....UNLESSS we stand up to this bullshit nonsense. Are we that afraid of the invisible Boogie man?
While I do think this article is a bit over-reactionary... I do think it's a slippery slope. Certainly there's no reason for 1959 and it should not be passed.
I would like to read this act, I used to know where to go to be able to read them but I forget where exactly. I've read a few articles on the subject, but none pointed out specific text in it that they felt could or would be misused.
Thank you for this thread. Look what I read here: "(3) The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens." http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-1955 Dang that Internet!!!
I better make sure CoCo the blogging dog keeps all his comments pro-government. Mostly he is just concerned about bologna and chasing cats anyway
So pretty much under the pretext that the internet promotes free speech they want to censor it. Great! Why don't we all stast swapping our hearts and minds for government pre-programmed thinking and feeling modules and that should take care of everything.
They will tell us what to feel and think. When that bill passes you better get rid of your signature!
This is a very dangerous bill. The war on civil liberties like free speech, and now apparently free thought is well underway. 19 Terrorists = End of the Republic.

They should only ban specific credible threats. Otherwise, they play games where they throw people in jail for their thought "crimes." You put people like David Irving in jail, you just make him more popular and make people wonder why the government is afraid of him.
