As most readers know various Blogspot blogs are being tagged as Spam and shut down by Google. The owners are being locked out, forced to submit to word verification to post on their own blogs. See Uppity Woman's post if you don't know the story- http://hyper-educated-uppity-woman.blogspot.com/2008/06/obama-comrades-pssst-over-here.html There are numerous other postings about this all over the blogosphere. Now I am just an average (typical) PA voter, voted Dem all my life, fairly new to blogging so my blog does not attract attention from the Borg/Bots. I do recognize the suppression of free speech when I see it! This whole sham of an election just gets more and more frightening. We have the power hungry DNC shoving an inexperienced, unqualified candidate down our throats. Caucus goers who were not voting for Howard Dean's personal selected were subject to harassment and intimidation (don't believe me? Check out You Tube for live action video of the Texas Caucuses.) We have bloggers calling other bloggers racists and Republicans. Obama thugs have harassed and intimidated voters driving along the road (don't believe me? Check out Sugar n Spice's blog for a real scary account of her harrowing experience.) The media refuses to do it's job and has been part and parcel of the coup. The Obama campaign tried to suppress the free speech of protesters at the sham unity event in NH by attempting to have the voice of freedom moved to "free speech zones" and confiscating signs. (Don't believe it? Click on the Confluence link and watch the videos.) Folks, this is all real. The American people did not rise up and protest strongly enough when Bush stole the election in 2000. We were complacent when he did it again in 2004. Now here we are in 2008 and OUR party- the Democratic party- the party that once was the working class party- is very busily imitating the Republicans. They have used the rules to manipulate the results of the primary elections in FL and MI and given votes earned by one candidate to another! And now, now they are shutting down Anti-Obama, anti-Unity blogs. It's called suppression and it is ugly! I have declared myself a PUMA. I have joined Just Say No Deal. What can I do? One little voter? A HELL of a lot! I talk, I write, I call. Read the blogs, stay informed, communicate with like minded Americans who are not going to sit still and watch our country and our freedoms sold to the highest bidders. I stand in solidarity with Uppity Woman, with BlueLyon, with Reflections-in-Tyme. I support the right to free speech, the right to dissent, the right to protest- and I stand with the writers of nobamablog, mccaindemocrats, politicallizard, comealongway and hillaryorbust. I am moving my blog to wordpress- where free speech is not yet endangered. Please visit me at http://commonsensegram.wordpress.com SOLIDARITY! Solidarity stood up against the might of the Soviet Union, the French Resistance fighters stood up against the Nazis. PUMAs will stand together against the 21st century's horror- Obama and the corrupt DNC. Viva Le Resistance! PUMA!
