o'propaganda - "Truth Czar" (S.B. 679)

Do any of these sound familiar?  
     "History," he said, "is made in the street, .."   His propaganda headquarters sent out a constant stream of directives to local and regional party sections, often providing fresh slogans and fresh material for the campaign.  The.. ambitions.. were shown by the divisions soon established: press, radio, film, theater, music, literature, and publishing.  Control of the arts and media was not just a matter of personnel.  Soon the content of every newspaper, book, novel, play, film, broadcast and concert, from the level of nationally-known publishers and orchestras to local newspapers..  No author could publish, no painter could exhibit, no singer could broadcast, no critic could criticize,..  ..he secured a large budget .., with which he was able to offer generous salaries and subsidies to those in the arts who co-operated with him.  Most artists, theaters, and orchestras - after struggling to survive the Depression - found these inducements hard to refuse.  Minister of Propaganda.. [local] socialist and communist parties, burning of books, control over the media, arts and information..  ..psychologically prepare.. for ..a national propaganda apparatus.  (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels)
From: Life & Liberty PAC Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 Subject: NO CONGRESS OVERSIGHT OF OBAMA APPOINTEES OPENS FLOODGATE FOR NEW EXTREMIST CZARS
SENATE BILL 679 MUST BE STOPPED
     Confident the Senate will concede to the Dictator's wishes, Barack Hussein Obama has appointed yet another radical Jesse Leeas Minister of Propaganda, aka Truth Czar, aka "Director of Progressive Media & Online Response."   Apparently, Mr. Lee's full time job will be to suppress dissent and quash online and traditional media stories "unfavorable" to the President.
     Is it just me, or are things getting a bit too Orwellian, or even Pravda circa 1972 around here?
     Consider Lee's VERY FIRST online post in his new position:
     I wish I were kidding. Sadly, I am not.  Lee's very first action as the Truth Czar was to release the picture (left), (via Twitter), characterizing himself as the Terminator, in relation to his new power to kill news reports and coverage he deems unfavorable to Obama, as well as his authority to counter all allegedly anti-Obama online activity.
     That this is lawful in a White House running for reelection is highly doubtful, never mind unseemly, anti-democratic, and un-American.  But BHO has made it clear that laws are for the little people who oppose him only.  All this is just the latest bit of creepiness from a White House so filled with creepy extremists that not even George Orwell could have done it justice.
     Yet this should not be any surprise coming from an ideologue raised by rabid Leftists enamored with Soviet style Communism, who has spent his entire life seeking the same dangerous radicalism among his mentors, friends and professional comrades.   Pravda may have changed, but Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and the rest of the America-hating extremists of the Weatherman era have not.  They still blame America first and alarmingly, the "revolutionaries" who declared a state of war with America, blew up people and things in order to "force change," and whose dream was to achieve "the destruction of U.S. imperialism and create a classless world: world Communism" are literally now running our nation.
     Just days ago, Obama banned the Boston Herald from the White House traveling press corps because he felt they were too favorable toward his opponent Mitt Romney.
     Just weeks ago, the White House attempted to bully Pleasanton Weekly President Gina Channell-Allen into killing a story because it "reflected poorly on the First Lady."
     Just last month, the White House attempted to bully San Francisco Chronicle reporter Carla Marinucci for daring to release video footage of Obama supporters mocking him at his own fundraiser.
     Just two years ago, Obama tried to ban Fox News from the White House Press Pool.
     Obama is so thin-skinned and intolerant of criticism, none other than liberal war horse Helen Thomas publicly called out Obama for having the least transparent administration in history, noting that not even the paranoid Nixon attempted to control the media as forcibly as BHO.   Shortly thereafter, the once-revered old progressive was turned out to pasture.
     See a disturbing pattern here?   Apparently Congress doesn't, because they are ready to drastically reduce oversight of Presidential appointees, freeing Obama to install still more un-Constitutional Czars and Communist radicals to his propaganda-loving heart's delight.
     We must demand that McConnell and the rest of the Senate Republicans refuse to fall prey to Harry Reid and Barack Obama's dirty scheme to use unhindered appointment of radicals to promote the Obama faction and remake America into a Marxist dictatorial society.  
     Back in January, we reported that Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell cut a compromise with Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid which would reduce Congressional oversight of Obama appointees by as much as one third.  That "deal" is now taking official shape in the deadly Senate Bill 679.  Republicans and Democrats alike are granting this Constitution-trampling act their stamp of approval as yet another nail on the coffin of American liberty is pounded down unless you act against this travesty TODAY!
     The Executive, Congressional and the Judicial branches each take oaths to uphold the Constitution.  But in order for those oaths to mean anything, each separate branch must actually perform its duty.   Each branch of government has an essential role to play to ensure our Constitution remains intact and effectiveand our three separate but equal branches of government sustain a balance of power.  If any one of the branches fails to perform its duty of vigilance and oversight of the other two, another branch has the opportunity to grow to become a power unto itself completely negating the vital balance that sustains our Republic and holds government power in check.
     By conceding to relinquish oversight to even a portion of Barack Obama's appointees, Senator McConnell is not only allowing the rogue occupant of the Oval Office to appoint more radical extremists to the highest levels of government, he is also empowering Obama to seize unprecedented control over the country and place it in the hands of thuggish partisans, seditionists and avowed Marxists bent on the destruction of America's forms and institutions of government, and her Constitution.
     We must demand that McConnell and the rest of the Senate Republicans refuse to fall prey to Harry Reid and Barack Obama's dirty scheme to use unhindered appointment of radicals to promote the Obama faction and remake America into a Marxist dictatorial society. 
     TIME IS SHORT AND WE MUST NOT ALLOW BARACK Obama TO APPOINT MORE LEFT-WING EXTREMISTS!  STOP S.B. 679!
