WHAT’S OBAMA DOING
Given President Barack Obama’s campaign promises, you’d think that, once in office, he’d have swiftly put an end to the warrantless spying on the American people. But, in fact, he has yet to halt this Bush-era policy of snooping into our private communications—our phones calls, e-mails and God knows what else—even though it’s a clear violation of our civil liberties. What are we to make of this? It may well be that, despite Obama’s best intentions, political realities have made it difficult to rescind the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Given the way Washington, D.C., operates—especially when it comes to the intelligence community— that wouldn’t be a big surprise. But if Obama won’t stand up for our civil liberties, he doesn’t deserve a second term. Let’s hope Obama isn’t just another empty suit playing a shell game with the American people.

Mr. Flynt,
hope this is the correct forum to ask this but here goes anyway:
I retired from the US military and in 1997 in Korea you could go in the base exchange and buy Hustler and many other magazines.
However, the same year they no longer sold Hustler or any “explicit” magazines in the base exchanges BUT continued to sell Playboy as they deemed it less explicit.
I retired from Altus Oklahoma in 2007 and still they sold Playboy in the exchange near the cigarettes but no Hustler or any other magazine.
How is this legally possible? If they don’t allow Hustler for the explicitness how can they sell Playboy? Just a question for you.

Alas, I have very little hope for our current President. Any American President is in his place of position only through subterfuge, deceit, and plenty of head nodding. Obama is where he is for a reason. The same Boards of Directors are directing the same lobbyists to the the same Congressmen for the purpose of profit. Obama is an illusion meant to lull the world to sleep. We are in more danger than ever…alas.

Dear Mister Flynt: I admired your efforts in exposing the hypocrites, who were trying to impeach President Clinton. Tiger Woods has made some huge mistakes, and companies have the right to cancel their contracts with him. However,Accenture also chose to state:” After careful consideration and analysis, the company has determined that he is no longer the right representative for its advertising.” I was wondering if the executives of this firm could withstand the kind of scrutiny that you put those politicians through. Are they as pure as the driven snow? It seems as if they would like for us to think so.

Sir, your my hero…….you stand and have stood up for you civil liberties. Growing up, going to public educational institutes learning about our rights. We have no rights. Its a sad thing the day you don’t won’t to be an American. Because you feel that being part of this system isn’t actually being an American. To me being an American means to be free to express myself without persecution. But we have a name for people express themselves in a manner seen as unamerican, we call it being a terrorist. So if we call people this word it makes civil liberties non existent. Everyone not only people living in the united states deserve all their liberties no matter what we choose to call them. To me if your not free, is there really an America. Sir, your my hero in that you had what it takes to stand up these day’s in America. You have the income to insure your freedoms. The thing is thats the only what to be truly free and have your rights these days. Is to have money for all this b/s… I can rant any more larry… i dont know if can really see you as a hero if you didn’t stand up for your liberties. Would you have fought for your rights even if you were poor. Or would you have taken it in the ass like the rest of us do. Look i dont mean to try to pull you one way or the other i just want to know if you would still have done what you did….sorry for my writing I am no means a writer.

I have been recieving death threats and threats of poisoning for well over 3 years non stop. I finally realized it wasn;t just Waste Industries and Waste Management stalkingmy family but this obviously has something to do with the government now. They are using Time Warner cable to harass my family in our home 24 hours a day with annoying tv commercials over and over. Everytime we leave in our car it’s just like some psychopath is stalking us with the radio and following our car around town. When I go into the grocery store I notice the radio following me around the store harassing me with annoying songs. I omplained to Obama enough that it would get his attention and it seems now like he just thinks it’s funny. If they are trying to blame me for the local heavy metal music then they ar just prejudice and ignorant. Every country in the world listens to heavy metal and these people are just jealous that they cant play an instrument.
I’ve gotten myself trapped in some republican white collar crime and some rednecks have a personal problem with their religion and trying to make excuses as to why they attacked my family. They were just jealous because they could not control me and I started making more money than they were with my commercial spray painting. I hate Barack Obama for this and I know he just sits back and laughs at us because he is prejudice.

I WORKED FOR WASTE INDUSTRIES AND WASTE MANAGEMENT AS A PAINT CONTRACTOR FROM 2001 TO LATE 2007 AT ALMOST EVERY WASTE INDUSTRIES LOCATION IN THE STATE ON NORTH CAROLINA. I ALSO WORKED FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT OF FAYETTEVILLE, RALEIGH, WELDON, AND SANFORD. I WAS WORKING FOR WASTE INDUSTRIES IN GRAHAM, NC IN 2005 WHEN CARL MASSEY WAS HIRED. I PAINTED ALMOST ALL OF CARL MASSEY’S CONTAINERS IN WILSON, NC WHEN HE WAS PROMOTED TO BRANCH MANAGER. CARL MASSEY AND HIS BOSS MICHAEL T. INGLE SET ME UP IN A SCAM AND BEGAN STALKING ME AND MY HOME SETTING UP HOME INVASIONS AND THREATENING ME WITH POISONING FOR TALKING ABOUT MICHAEL T INGLE AND HIS CYBER STALKING HARASSMENT OF MY FAMILY AND 15 YEAR OLD LITTLE BROTHER. I BELIEVE MICHAEL INGLE IS A PERVERT WHO USES MULTI MILLION DOLLAR CONPUTER EQUIPMENT TO COLLECT CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IN THE COMMUNITY ON UNSUSPECTING TEENS AND WOMEN, AS SOON AS I BEGAN COMPLAINING CARL MASSEY WALKED UP TO ME ON TWO OCCASIONS AND GOT UP IN MY FACE NOSE TO NOSE IN A VERY THREATENING MANNER. WITHIN A WEEK SOMEONE HAD BROKED INTO MY HOME AND PUT SOME KIND OF PROSTATE MEDICATION IN MY DRINK IN THE FRIDGE AND I HAVE BEEN WAKING UP WITH SEMEN EMISSIONS IN MY UNDERWEAR EVER SINCE.
I CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN AND THEY WERE INSULTING ME CALLING ME A FAGGOT AND I TOLD THEM THEY ACTED JUST LIKE THE KKK AND I KNEW THEY WERE INVOLVED IN SOME FORM OF WHITE COLLAR CRIME BECASUE WHEN I MET CARL HE WAS POOR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE WAS PROMOTED AND BOUGHT A HOUSE AND ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES BEGAN DRESSING VERY NICE AT WORK AND RECIEVING LARGE PROMOTIONS. I REMIND YOU THAT AT THIS VERY SAME TIME I BEGAN WAKING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH SEMEN EMISSIONS ALL OVER MY UNDERWEAR. CARL MASSEY APPROACHED ME AND HANDED ME A VERY LIMP HANDSHAKE AND I KNEW THIS WAS A PERSONAL THREAT ON MY PRIVATE PARTS WITH SOME FORM OF PROSTATE MEDICATION POISONING. I HAVE TREID TO CONTACGT THE POLICE SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT INVESTIGATING THIS LEVEL OF CORRUPTION. I WRITE THE PRESIDENT EVERY SINGLE DAY AND TELL THEM THAT THEY SET ME UP IN A SCAM AND WERE JEALOUS OF ME FOR CONTRACTING WITH SEVERAL WM AND W.I. OFFICES. I STARTED AT WASTE INDUSTRIES IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC IN 2001 AND I CHANGED ALL OF THE BFI CONTAINERS OVER FOR THEM BEFORE I MOVED TO WORK IN GRAHAM NC IN 2003 WHERE CARL MASSEY WAS EVENTUALLY HIRED IN 2005. THEY CONTINUE TO STALK MY FAMILY AND THREATEN US WITH DEATH THREATS AND POISONING AND I AM SEEING A DOCTOR NOW FOR A NON STOP SERIOUS HEART BURN IN MY STOMACH. I BELIEVE THEY ARE STEALING MONEY SOMEHOW THROUGH THE REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION IN THE STATE AND I AM BEING FOLLOWED 24 HOURS A DAY NOW.

Larry, I have no problem with this for one reason. These virgins in their cheap suites have to learn the birds and the bees some how. I mean the good sites are all banned on government computers. So here is the question does the patriot act really promote armature porn? Are these sickos beating off to pictures in your phone as a part of their duty?
December 28th, 2009 at 1:40 am
Larry,
Damn, that’s a great way to sum it up. During the campaign I wasn’t buying into his “rainbows” and “pixies” hope based speeches. While hope is fine, the American people want a president of action. To take stands, and take the shit he’ll get from the other party. Their used to be a majority in this country that would support a president, and now it seems there is so much gray area that we can’t agree on anything anymore.
As far as free speech is concerned I too support that, and hate censorship. I just started a website called BirdSend.com where you (or anyone ) cans end anybody the middle finger. You can fill out a form and send a email with the middle finger to someone you know. We also have a feature called “Bird Watching” and it’s a poll that asks questions all regarding who, or what you would send the bird. You can send the bird to politicians, U.S. States, Celebrities, etc.
I’m sure you would think it funny. Check it out, and great post! I bookmarked your blog. I love it.
Thanks
Josh

As one of Obama’s earliest, youngest, and most vocal supporters, I am disappointed by his constant apology tours of the world, and his seeming inablility to fix the many ills that plague our great nation. As a student who interviews leaders in different fields as has been been doing so for four long years, I have found that the most common comment by leaders in different fields is that leadership means making tough and most likely unpopular decisions for the common good, something the president has been unwilling to do. I was also curious as to whether you would be able or willing to answer three basic and brief questions as a part of my personal interest interview project, which is used to advance my understanding of leadership as it is defined in different fields, from your unique perspective as a trendsetter and innovator who has done good work for many years without the fear of retribution and criticism. If not, then I am honored to at least been able to express the deep respect I have for the essential work you do on free speech rights. Thank you for all you do for common folk like me across our great nation.

I still have faith in Obama. I believe he means well and can only do so much as time moves on. I am highly against the so called “PATRIOT” Act and any “Law”,” Act, or “Article” that stomps on the first amendment or any amendment for that matter, but we do have to remember Obama has to deal with that garbage we now call the Legislative Branch. I think we should give Obama time, mainly because he instills hope and that is something we seriously need in a country that is plummeting fast. The questions we should be asking before downing on him are, “What do we see as the essential problems that face this nation?” Those should be dealt with first and from there, move down the lists. Just a thought.
February 21st, 2010 at 9:31 pm
Obama is a puppet, nothing more. He takes his marching orders from the NWO crowd, just like ALL the other presidents before him and all the ones after him will do. Its all an illusion created to make the people think they have a choice when in fact they have none at all.
Its ALWAYS been this way.
And when they don’t do exactly as they are told, they are either killed or removed in other ways. So Obama has a choice. Do as he is told or be removed. Period.
There is NO way to make any changes whatsoever using the election process as it currently stands. And that goes for EVERY country on the planet. We are ALL voting for actors paid to act like politicians. They read from scripts pre written for them. Just THAT alone says it all. The teleprompter is the actual president, not Obama.
The ONLY way anything will ever change is if we ALL rise up and remove from office FOREVER those actors and their friends influence over them.
Member of private organizations who use governments to push forward their private agendas need to be BANDED permanently from ever holding office. Members of Bilderburg, CFR, Trilateral Commission, Masons, Zionists, Mormons, JW’s, Satanists, Royal Roundtable, think tanks, new age, jesuits…..the list goes on and on. All of these groups are satanic at their core. ALL OF THEM.
There is no other way. Get rid of them and their phony money.
To do anything less is a complete waste of time.
February 26th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
Absolutely correct, Bill. People, please read and understand Bill’s post, because he speaks the truth. If all of what he says seems like gibberish, then you need to stop being so gullible, have some healthy skepticism about the President, or the Legislative branch, or the courts. Our freedoms are being eroded away, and at an ever-increasing rate.
Soon, the only option for the liberty movement– an overwhelmingly nonviolent group, though 2nd Amendment rights are paramount– the only option will be a bloody revolution, a civil war that will wipe out this country, the burbs, the food supply, the infrastructure, the internet– everything will be on hiatus until things get worked out. FEMA has a standing army. Why?
Why are battle-hardened veterans being brought back to home soil after their tour of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan, and come out to patrol the streets, with their AUTOMATIC weapons and dressed for all the world like Star Wars storm troopers?
It’s simple…illegals are not the enemy. You and I are the enemy. Please do a web search on the DHS’s MIAC report, then read it and see just who it lists as potential terrorists.
We cannot vote the puppetmasters out because they cannot be voted out. That is the frightening thing. The only thing we can hope for is that a more powerful group takes them out. That is the only thing that will work.
Oh yes…why has the mainstream media pretty much shut up about Haiti? Because there is a vast amount of gold and oil there– that’s why. And why were our humanitarian aid ships just waiting near that poor island, to offer their version of “aid”? It is an occupation now. It’s a funny thing how that earthquake just “happened” when it did, isn’t it?

The George W. Bush administration decided it was fine for the military to kill people, but not to have access to sexually explicit material. HUSTLER was thrown out of all military bases over 8 years ago. Legal? I guess they think it is.
