People, myself included, complained about things done under Bush 43 that, however slightly, overstepped the Constitution. As posted on CNET ( http://tinyurl.com/mfbeve ) with Drudge Report and others having a link to it, Jay Rockefeller have, behind closed doors, drafted a 55 page bill that, if passed, would “allow the President to take control of internet content” for “reasons of national emergency.” The reasons are vague and would allow them to restrict content and context based entirely on what they (the government) want. Bush was Mother Teresa compared to Øbama and the Progressives, (true Democrats, moderates and Republicans had better get their (our) heads out of our asses and do it quick. It’s fast becoming time to start recall petitions for these people and to take the word impeachment back out of the closet. If Bill Clinton can be impeached for trying to redefine the word “is”, Øbama has a laundry list of impeachable offenses and has to go.

Remember, the first amendment gave us the right to free speech but the second amendment allows us to protect it. IMHO, the time is coming that we will be extremely happy that we have the 2nd amendment.

People who hold elected office have to provide financial disclosure and you expect them to protect your financial privacy. Bear in mind also, the Progressives are in power now so everything must be means tested to facilitate their utopia: “From each according to his ability to each according to his need”. Obama won’t use the phrase “death tax”, however he’s working to get rid of most “estate planning techniques.” Remember he’s “rewarding work not wealth”, AKA Screw retirees.

If you try to get low-cost health care at the local clinic, they want a copy of your latest tax return. Your pay stubs are not enough, they must copy (& hold the copy of) your tax return. I couldn’t believe that this was the requirement, but it is. Happening already…

This is but another reason for me to oppose the proposed extension of government healthcare, since it’s the ostensible excuse for the invasion of privacy.

On the other hand what if, to establish eligibility for government healthcare, people had to produce documentation themselves? It could be a chore many wouldn’t want to be burdened with.

Methinks this proposal may be one way to help gather support for single-payer healthcare which wouldn’t require a need to establish eligibility. Most of you know I’m not a proponent so take my suspicion for what it is — just an opinion.

I’m with you, candymarl.

Bush said it was just a piece of paper and That One said it is a flawed document. As far as I’m concerned, Bush was just a hack of a President and That One is a truly flawed human being. I’ll keep my Constitution and those two can dry up.

What happened to that pesky Constitution thing that gives us the right, not privilege, but the right to privacy in our persons and papers? Guess GWB was right. It’s just a G-D piece of paper.

You are very welcome too, Rev. Amy and I want to hear what you think of it; personally it was scary to see the date, and note the fact this has not been a newsworthy item. I must admit however, I am not surprised, I am getting that same “brain dead” feeling of an overload of bad actions by a poorly managed government, that same sort of depression-like numbness, accompanied by nausea, similar to the previous 8 years.

You are very welcome, I will be interested to hear your take on it.

Someone please tell me why anyone believed this guy was going to be different from Bush? Sheesh.

Hell, the only difference between the two is that That One, being single-minded in his pursuit of adoration, is going to promise everyone everything always and finish the job of ruining our Republic.

The IRS reporting requirement is entirely consistent with the fascist nature of HR 3200– and I do mean fascist in its classic meaning of “corporate state.”

Credit reports are also used to deny you housing – they are routinely used to screen renters. It doesn’t matter what your actual RENT history is – bad credit? No rental.

I don’t know why these credit reports got to be such a big deal. I was only a kid in the 80s but no-one seemed to talk about credit ratings so much back then.
