Erick Erickson of Redstate.com has sent an e-list email encouraging his readers to protest to Congress about Larry Lessig of Google and Barack Obama.
His complaint is threefold.
1. Larry Lessig is pro-Net Neutrality.
2. Larry Lessig is virulently anti-Christian and moves Google in that direction.
3. Lessig is a huge political supporter of Obama; thus Obama has another guilt by association by allowing Lessig’s support of his campaign.
I am not sure if I understand Erickson’s anger about Lessig being for Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is like the sun, it shines its light on the good and evil at the same time. Net Neutrality certainly allows the evil in this world to exploit a form of communication; however Net Neutrality offers the same exact ability for good to be on the Internet.
I am guessing Erickson’s ire is because Google under Lessig’s direction may be guilty of not allowing pro-Christian websites to be accessed via the Google search engine. If the allegation is true (and I don’t doubt that it is), then Lessig’s defense of Net Neutrality is Leftist hypocrisy. In essence Lessig is promoting Leftwing pro-Mohammedan websites and ridiculing Christ and Christian websites as well as definitely NOT providing neutrality for all users of the Google search engine.
This is a revelation that saddens me. I like using the Google search engine. Unfortunately I am finding out when I place a search for some Christian specific information, Google may be biased as a guide.
Then there is Barack Obama. Obama openly receives support from anti-Christian Lessig. Could this further expose light on Obama’s other associations with Nation of Islam racist Louis Farrakhan and Black Supremacist Christian Jeremiah Wright?
Couple this with Obama’s recent denigration of Pennsylvania rural dwellers (ergo all rural dwellers) as ignorant gun-toting individuals that rely on religion for solace on and comfort and what do you have a picture of?
It is a picture of an anti-Christian candidate running for the Democratic nomination for President.

ACTION ITEM: Call the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee at 202-224-5115 and protest Larry Lessig and Google denigrating Christ while Google censors Christians online. Details below.
A friend and adviser to Barack Obama, Larry Lessig, is going to testify before Congress on Tuesday to advocate for "net neutrality," a position strongly supported by Google,Inc.
Google, recently allowed Larry Lessig to talk to Google employees. During his talk, Lessig showed a video of Jesus, depicted as gay and wearing a diaper singing the song "I Will Survivor" until Christ is run over by a bus. You can see for yourself here.
Lessig told Google's employees, "This is a little bit touchy to some people. I don't get it, so just chill."
Google and Lessig believe that intellectual property rights should be curtailed and internet providers should be forced to allow anyone and everyone to use their networks.
While Google is pushing net neutrality and blaspheming Christ, Google is also censoring Christians online. As I document here, Google has censored a pro-life group online. Google has also been sued for anti-Christian discrimination in the United Kingdom.
Of course, while Google is happy to censor Christians while denigrating Christ, Google has gone out of its way to censor content that might offend muslims.
Google should have no right to demand open access to your internet while censoring and denigrating Christians on its network. And the Senate should not give Larry Lessig a platform to advocate Google's position while Google behaves in that manner.
Call the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee and tell them you find it disgraceful that Google could advocate an open internet while censoring Christians and laughing while Larry Lessig denigrates Christ. The number is 202-224-5115.
Also, please forward this to your friends. Have your friends join this list. We should not let the left get away with denigrating Christ and sending those who do to Congress to advocate for companies that routinely censor Christians.
Together, we can stop this.
All the best,
Erick Erickson

Here is some poop on the Democratic Party front runner Hillary Clinton. As you know Leftist Democrats including Hillary Clinton wish to protect the privacy of terrorists and terrorist supporters and terrorist sympathizers. The Democrats and Hillary have painted a picture of President Bush as evil with privacy issues in which the Administration practices of Security have prevented another 9/11 style attack from occurring on American soil.
We can couple this loser attitude with hypocrisy. Hillary listened to audio recordings of illegally intercepted mobile phone conversations of Clinton political opponents.
The image projected by Hillary is that the government cannot on spy on suspected Americans treasonously doing something for America’s enemies in a time of War yet it is perfectly fine to listen to political opponents private conversations to get poop to smear the opponent’s reputation or plan an agenda to disable a political opponents strategy.
Is this “do as I say, not as I do” Leftist the kind of person America wishes to have as its President?
Peter Schweizer is a Slanted Right person’s favorite thorn in the neck of hypocritical Liberals. He is the noted author of “Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy.” That book is a documentation of Liberals and Democrats that advocate altruistic causes yet violate the end game of the altruistic cause constantly.
I guess the latest Liberal hypocrisy is similar to Papal Indulgences used in the Middle Ages. The Papacy used the practice of Indulgences to sell Grace/Forgiveness to the buyer or for a dead person a buyer wanted assurance to score Heaven as a revenue venture.
This practice became so blatantly outrageous by Martin Luther’s day that he became emboldened to nail the famous “95 Theses” on the Chapel door of the University whence Luther taught in 1517. This marked the beginning of the Reformation and a separation of protesting Roman Catholic Christians from the Papal Authority of the Roman Catholic Church. Hence the emergence of multi-dimensional articles of faith that all had one thing in common – divestment of the authority of the Pope and the appellation of Protestant. The Protestants were calling Papal practices hypocritical because of divergence from forgiveness of Sins by repentance and accepting Jesus Christ as Savior. The Protestant accusation is that obvious sinners and unsure Christians could buy Salvation apart from the Redemptive Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This was pretty bold stuff for the day.
Twenty-first century Liberals have embarked on a similar path of hypocritical indulgences. It is called “Offsetting.” For example when a Liberal living in the real world drives a car or flies a Jet that pollutes the environment of the earth, they can offset their environmental sin by planting a tree or donating money to environmental activist organizations. Thus they have neutralized their environmental sin – over and over again as they participate in the reality of life. In this way a Liberal can delude themselves of their goodness and publicly heap shame on those who choose work in the real life and dream their goodness by self-made illusions.
Peter Schweizer hammers this home in an essay written in an USA Today Opinion Column. I sense a Liberal would dread to read the essay because it might dash the illusion under the light of reality. A Slanted Right person should read the essay to confront the hypocrisy the next time a deluded Liberal attempts to embarrass you in front of friends, family or co-workers with facts they themselves participate daily.
