But Words Will Never Hurt Me<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"But<\/a><\/p>\n

Now that we’re aware that virtually all of our communications are being monitored 24\/7 by the Obama administration, it’s not surprising that people are trying to think of how to present the most innocent (and non-patriotic) profiles possible in their emails, phonecalls, and Internet habits. There are so many potential keywords (and words which can be misconstrued), that a lot of people are deciding that it’s best just to avoid speaking aloud or writing<\/i> about controversial topics like politics, liberty, freedom, religion, or the competency of Barack Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama<\/em><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, Americans are wearing fixed (albeit nervous) grins when they talk about how great our deficit is, how terrific abortion is, and how outdated the Constitution is. Which is, after all, the actual goal of the NSA’s PRISM program (at least as it is administered under Barack Obama): not to catch terrorists<\/em><\/span>, but to make ordinary citizens afraid to speak their minds or seek the truth about abuse of government power<\/span>.<\/i><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

But Hope n’ Change<\/i> would like to offer everyone a “good news \/ bad news” perspective… The bad news is that if you’re reading this, you’re already on Barry’s shit list <\/i>and likely to be suffering government abuse in the future (if you’re not already).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

But the good<\/i> news is that this frees you to speak up as long and as loudly as you possibly can<\/i>.<\/strong> <\/span>Which will be our<\/i> plan until the black helicopters arrive<\/em><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Funny\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We expect to be on the same flight.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, back at the ranch with The Gang Who Still Can’t Shoot Straight, we offer this follow-up on yesterday’s item highlighting the hypocrisy of RINO Kelly Ayotte, courtesy of Daniel Horowitz writing at RedState.com<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another Schumer Republican Who Lied to Get Elected<\/span><\/h1>\n

It\u2019s amazing how many Republicans ran for election as absolutely opposed to any form of amnesty \u2013 certainly before enforcing existing laws<\/em><\/span>.\u00a0 Somehow within a year or two, all of them have had an epiphany.<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span> The latest example is Senator Kelly Ayotte from New Hampshire, the third amigo in the McCain\/Graham Schumer club.<\/p>\n

In 2010, Ayotte ran strong on the issue of illegal immigration, and actually aired a number of ads lambasting her Democrat opponent on support for amnesty.\u00a0 During the primary, she had a strong Tea Party challenge from Ovide Lamontagne, winning by just 1600 votes.\u00a0 Needless to say, she wouldn\u2019t have been caught dead supporting amnesty during that primary.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 Here is a quick summary of some of her greatest hits in 2010, brought to you by Project Vote Smart:<\/p>\n
