Dale Fellows was not sure if what I said would be mistaken so to remove any doubt I will reword the question.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The question is &#8211; Could SOPA lead to the policing of blogs and the removal of anyone from posting if they write against such things as homosexuals and could it even lead to it being considered a hate crime for doing so? I have personally felt the sting of political correctness and had a submission to a well-known site blocked.<\/p>\n<p>The article I submitted was about DADT.\u00a0 In their exact words they wrote: As a whole, the article would be offensive to homosexuals, and thus it cannot be accepted.<\/p>\n<p>So we can longer voice are opposition to unnatural life styles?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next topic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am so upset with our primary and election process. If something isn&#8217;t done soon we will be no better than in some third world countries where they completely manipulate elections in favor of the ruling party or ruler or candidate of their choice.<\/p>\n<p>The constant barrage from the media proclaiming that in the end Romney will win it anyway so everyone else should just bow out and get the primary over with. Has our vote become so meaningless that the media can trumpet the winner before we even voted?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I am so adamantly set against Mitt.\u00a0 Besides his previous record as a governor and the stances he ran on in his bid for the senate I am tired of them force-feeding us Mitt Mitt Mitt.\u00a0 Its gotten to the point where you turn on the weather and the weatherman says its hot out today wonder if Mitt is sweating.\u00a0 Our founding fathers fought to give us the right to vote and we are seeing it evaporate before our eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I am a delegate for Santorum I think it is a real shame that candidates like Bachman, Perry, even Pawlenty bowed out because of the financial strain and<br \/>\nthey lacked resources to battle back against the media. There are still 47 states that have not had a say and yet we are ready to crown a winner.<\/p>\n<p>Some how we have to limit the amount of money that candidates can spend. How this can be accomplished I am not really certain but it has to be addressed other wise its no longer may the best man win but the richest man or the chosen man.<\/p>\n<p>Along with limiting campaign finance maybe its time to have a one or two day primary.\u00a0 The first date would be to whittle down the field and then in 3 months have another that declares the winner this way all states have a say.<\/p>\n<p>I have to throw one more thing out.\u00a0 I know this may hinge on conspiracy but I am very cynical with all that is going on.\u00a0 I along with many others across America stayed up way late to see the outcome of the Iowa Caucus.\u00a0 The tallies were coming and then it stalled at about 97% returns in with Santorum holding a very slim lead.\u00a0 A good half hour passed and then it was reported there was a mistake.\u00a0 They announced the votes that recently went to Santorum are going to be reversed and will go to Romney.\u00a0 And then suddenly they declared Romney the winner.\u00a0 As you know last week the outcome was changed and Santorum was declared the winner.<\/p>\n<p>Again maybe this sounds too much like a conspiracy but to me it seemed like they denied Santorum the victory to give Mitt more of a bounce into New Hampshire and take some steam away from Santorum.\u00a0 Even now you hear some pundits say Iowa was just about a virtual tie but before it was a win for Romney.\u00a0 Makes you think doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Carey Masci<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Friends,<\/p>\n<p>SOPA was defeated.\u00a0 Think about that.\u00a0 Americans can still hold onto their freedom when we unite for a just cause.\u00a0 Stay informed, stay active and help educate those who are being led down the wrong path.<\/p>\n<p>Its up to us to make sure America continues to be a free nation.<\/p>\n<p>Your Friend,<\/p>\n<p>Bob Murphy<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>To listen to the entire January 19<sup>Th<\/sup> show click here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/64.199.31.202\/welw\/America%20News%20%26%20Views\/120119ANV.mp3\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/64.199.31.202\/welw\/America%20News%20%26%20Views\/120119ANV.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n<div>Please tune to WELW 1330 AM this Thursday and every Thursday at 5pm. to hear the news the liberal media won&#8217;t tell you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Host Bob Murphy, The Chairman Dale Fellows and Liaison for the Tea Party Carey Masci, and joining us by phone was Chris Boggs a specialist in organic search engine optimization.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
