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

Religious Freedom equals misogyny says progs- source- opednews.com

From Progressive Blogs Source : opednews.com

Progressive Blogs Excerpts from Newstweeters.com

Commentary: Paul Collier

A progressive ope-ed on the opposition of Catholics and other Americans to the Obama overreach of Religious rights in his Obamacare contraceptive mandate is now accusing all americans who dare not recognize that a woman has some Constitiutional right to contraceptives and ‘morning after pills’ are misogynists. This is a typcial demonization attempt which is easily adapted when your value systems are based on the cult of man and not on godly values (that would be godly versus godless, and the progs chose godless)- Will this narrative by the progressive ideologues work with mainstream America? Will it be considered misogynistic to not believe Obama shoudl dictate to Americans what values they should exercise, whether those values contradict their deeply held beliefs or not? This remains to be seen- excerpt below
