Govt. wants Occupier’s Twitter records- source- commondreams.org


From Progressive Blogs Source : http://www.commondreams.org

Progressive Blogs Excerpts from Newstweeters.com

Commentary: The government has produced a subpoena calling for Twitter records of an Occupy protester. This brings into question the right the government has to issue surveillance without presenting a warrant. It would appear that the government is using a fear tactic to try to get protesters to shut up so Obama has more of a chance of being re-elected. This to me seems like censorship, which is never a good thing. – excerpt below

Professor discusses Republican candidates on taxes -tweet- @coatesdavid


From newstweeter: @coatesdavid

Progressive News Tweets from Newstweeters.com

EXCERPT From Article Tweeted: Each of the main Republican contenders has a set of taxation proposals at the heart of his program — proposals united by two shared premises: that current taxation is too high, particularly on the rich and on corporate America; and that reducing the rate and volume of taxation will trigger renewed private sector investment and associated job growth.

Progs Threaten “Arab Spring” for U.S if their demands aren’t met- tweet- @SioenRoux


From Progressive News Tweets Source : @SioenRoux

Progressive News Tweets from Newstweeters.com

Commentary: It is refreshing on those rare occassions when progressives show you the reality of who they are and what they stand for- This tweet from @SioenRoux is a perfect example of the growing sentiment of the progressive man on the street- the progressive street, as it were (yes, I AM playing off the phrase- the ARAB STREET)- Progressives are convinced that they have the answers to a perfect utopian reality, a reality where Christ stays in your living rooms, as long as you don’t teach your kids about Christ (that would be brainwashing- unless you teach them scientific ‘facts’ like God is dead and that we all come from magic bunnies- otherwise you are just brainwashing your kids with dangerous ideas)- Their reaility is a world that enables mega-industriallists to keep new entrepreneurs from entering the market, even as they clamor against the very corporatists their ideology would, in the end, actually prop up.  Their reaility is a world where the goverment controls your lives through unaccountable regulations and measures decided by social engineers, these are ’the right kind’ of people handpick from their indoctrination centers, our colleges and universities- And if they can’t have their utopian world– they will come after you and your children by any means necessary-

In keeping with this theme, this tweet- you can see it below- show the fullness of that philosophy lived out, as well as the unholy alliance they have with a group they will someday have to battle against as aggressively as they are now battling Constitutionalists and Christians, the militant Islamo-Fascist- What the two groups have in common is a belief in a small group of true adherents controlling the lives, the businesses, the children of the whole, by any means necessary, for the good of the whole-

This tweet echoes both the unholy alliance and their ‘by any means necessary’ doctrine perfectly when it threatens we non-progressive, non-atheist ideologues with a “spring”, a not-too cleverly veiled reference to the Arab Spring, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom are Christians (shared enemies of both Statist groups) and emboldened the genocidal rage of the Islamo-Fascist street- News Tweets below

Karzai says no to Night Raids- source- ipsnews.net


From Progressive News Source : ipsnews.net

Progressive News Excerpts from Newstweeters.com

Commentary:Hamid Karzai has drawn a line in the sand that is stopping US-Afghan negotians on a post-US presence- no more night raids unless Aghan military is in charge - excerpt below

____________________________________________________

WASHINGTON/KABUL, Feb 20, 2012 (IPS) – Nearly a year after the Barack Obama administration began negotiations with the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai on a U.S. military presence in Afghanistan beyond 2014, both sides confirmed last week that the talks are still hung up over the Afghan demand that night raids by U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) either be ended or put under Afghan control.
Karzai has proposed the latter option, with Afghan forces carrying out most of the raids, but the U.S. military has rejected that possibility, according to sources at the U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Florida.

From Progressive News Source : http://www.thenation.com/article/166335/employees-need-birth-control-coverage-mandate

Progressive News Excerpts from Newstweeters.com

Commentary: An article in The NATION argues that any organization, any institution that receives federal dollars should be compelled to provide contraceptive care (including the morning after pill) to its employees- This is the method of choice for most progressive ideologues, make more people, more institutions dependent on goverment funding (using regulations and backdoor passages in monstrous 2,000 page laws), then use that dependence to deny Americans their right to practice their beliefs, their faiths freely.  This article reveals the Anti-Christ militancy of the left, who see Christ, who see faith as an impediment to pushing through the de facto state relligion that willlempower them to create their cult of man utopia- that state religion is Atheism - excerpt below

From Progressive News Source : blog.buzzflash.com

Progressive News Excerpts from Newstweeters.com

Commentary: oProgressives are now taking their talking points from
“Truthout”- led by the leaders in the Democratic congress themselves- their latest “Truthout” missive equates Conservative values, Religious Freedom versus a woman’s ‘right’ to murder the unborn and have ‘conscience-free’ sex, to 1800s old-fashioned, backwater thinking- to progressives, it is more important that a woman be allowed to have guilt free sex with as many partners as she chooses than for Americans to have the right to decide for themselves if their beliefs compel them to support abortion on demand and contraceptive-protected sex- excerpt below

  And here’s a good companion video clip of Max Keiser interviewing futurist Dmitry Orlov, who says our political-economic system has been rigged so as to perpetuate and ever enlarge the financial system centered on Wall Street, but that this rigging takes place at the expense of every other aspect of our economy, and will do so for as long as possible — which Dmitry says won’t be for much longer.
