My paranoid thought is..... that he and the left are starting to get nervous about people revolting. He could enact an "emergency" and effectively shut down comunications and stop people from desent. Remember Iran? The Iranian people were able to get pictures out before the government finally caught up.
 They could effectivaly shut us down if they didn't agree with what we stand for.
This is a very dangerous idea. It needs to be stopped.
Can you imagine what people like Obermann and Chris Mathews would be saying if Bush did this. Hell would break loose on all the government run news sites.
Hang on folks it's going to be a long hard 4 years. We better be prepared to stand our ground.

This just comfirms in my mind the reason we need to be active on a local level. Imagine how hard it would be to start the NFOA after something like this has happened.

I guess it's just the boyscout in me that keeps sayin'... Be prepared!

bkoenig:
That is actually one of the scariest things I've read in a long time.  What's next, newspapers and TV?  They already want the power to regulate what can be said on talk radio.

Maybe its the firefighter/emt in me but the term "plan for the worst, Hope for the best" comes to mind. We need to stand up and make sure this doesn't happen.
