Holy shit!  Are there any liberals left who actually care about things like freedom of speach, right to privacy, those sort of things?  Big Brobama now wants the power to shut down the internet.  Only in emergency situations of course.

     One of the main elements necessary to maintain a 1984 type omnipotent, omnipresent government is control of information.  People aren’t actually omnipotent, not even Big Brobama.  Often times, people say or do things that turn out to be wrong, like when Harry Reid said the war in Iraq was lost, or when Ted Kennedy got drunk and drove off a bridge with a young lady in his car.  When the public finds out about these things, you tend to lose credibility, if not your freedom.  Over extended periods of public service, one could make a lot of mistakes.  If these mistakes are readily viewable at any time, it is hard to appear infallible.  In 1984 they fixed this problem by removing all evidence of mistakes or changes in policy.  The Ministry of Truth would simply go back and chance all reports and You Tube clips to reflect that Big Brobama predicted that healthcare would not be passed before the August recess and we would all accept that.

     MSNBC and most of the mainstream media have pretty much stopped even pretending to be anything other than PR arms for Big Brobama and the left in general.  There are still a few hurdles to clear though.  Brobama already has a Czar working on eliminating talk radio.  I am sure there is someone working on destroying Fox News as well.  Then there’s the internet.  Like Frakenstein’s monster, Al Gore’s invention has turned against the left.  The internet has become a giant warehouse.  Large portions of the warehouse are filled with porn, true, but large portions are also filled with things like videos of things Big Brobama said just a few months ago.  That’s a problem for the left.  A big problem.  One might even call it an emergency situation.
