Statist loses election but wants to be Secretary of State

Howard Berman

The good news: Congressman Howard Berman -- one of the lead supporters of SOPA -- lost his re-election bid last week. The bad news: The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Berman is being considered as the replacement for Hillary Clinton when she steps down as Secretary of State in coming weeks. That would mean that he'd play a key role in developing global Internet policy! Please add your name at right to tell President Obama and the Senate that Berman has no place being considered for Secretary of State. Berman has spent decades representing Southern California, and has been one of the biggest shills for Hollywood and other forces that seek to censor the Internet: He was one of the original sponsors of SOPA, and unlike so many others who had the sense to wiithdraw their support after the Internet cried out, Berman has never backed down. But now the LA Times reports:

Berman, who has been chairman and ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, is among those now mentioned by U.S. officials as a possible replacement for Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton when she departs next year.

If the United States really cares about global Internet freedom, there couldn't be a worse pick for Secretary of State than Berman, who's repeatedly tried to censor the web at Hollywood's behest -- and Hollywood's been leading a global charge to clamp down on Internet freedom. Let's put Obama and the Senate on notice.

Last week we got rid of this statist asshole through democratic means but we could end up stuck with him if we don't let Obama and our senators know that we don't want him. If he is a big SOPA supporter I don't want him anywhere near the controls for the internet. If he is so big with the Hollywood crowd then they can give him a job in the private sector so that way he can leave the rest of us alone.

Tonight On The Record

As I was watching On The Record with Greta Van Sustern I noticed her sexist attitude toward government employees relaxing in Columbia. It seems that Van Sustern had a hissy fit when several male secret service employees and some Pentagon personnel hired some hookers for some R and R. Sustern was citing safety concerns in allowing hookers into their rooms and how they were immoral for doing so. Someone pointed out that being a secret service employee is stressful and that they were relieving stress. Van Sustern stated she didn't care how stressful the job is they shouldn't be doing that. The next segment featured Secretary of State Hillary Clinton throwing down a few beers with Sustern stating that if anyone had a right to throw down a few beers it is Hillary Clinton because she has a stressful job. WTF??? Let's back up here for just a moment. The stress of secret service agents doesn't count because it comes with the territory but then again stress comes from the secretary of state's job as well. Why is one's stress a mitigating factor while another's is not? National security some might say. I say nice try but that dog don't hunt. Hillary,being the secretary of state,is part of Obama's cabinet,while the secret service employees are not. Clinton would know more about sensitive information than the secret service employees would know. If Clinton had shot her mouth off in that bar,where it is possible foreign agents are listening,she could have jeopardized our position in that region than these secret service employees could have ever done. Not only that but Clinton held up something that said "Havana" on it. Is Clinton promoting the Cuban capital? Or its government? Sustern states that she feels ashamed by the actions of the secret service employees but excuses Clinton who is drinking like a fish. So what is really going on here? It is the pussy pass in operation again. When you get right down to it there is no difference between left wing feminists and right wing feminists.
