Good to be liberal, but try to maintain a balance of political sanity so that too much won't be taken out of my pockets... I enjoy your blog. I will be back to check out the left corner...

I've have now been blacklisted by Google Blog Search for saying much the same thing you have in your blog post:
"Welcome to 1984- 25 years late
Posted on Thursday September 17th, 2009 at 13:50"

http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&num=100&client=news&um=1&scoring=d&c2coff=1&lr=lang_en&safe=off&ie=UTF-8&q=blogurl%3Arealliberalchristianchurch.org&btnG=Search+Blogs

I didn't put that URL there to promote my site. If others want to assign crass motives to me, that's their problem. I'm promoting freedom of beneficial speech here. I'm battling the plutocrats.

I used to have thousands of posts listed on Google Blog Search. My traffic was constantly growing. Then, just because I wrote some things they don't want others to see and read, censored! As of the date of this review, I have only three posts being returned by Google Blog Search. Big Brother is inside Google. I hope BlogCatalog can keep it out of here.

I recently told a "friend" (networked) that if one isn't being censored on the Internet, one isn't trying hard enough to find and speak truth.

I don't agree with all that you believe, but you seem willing to engage in the discussion without being pornographic (I'm not for harmful images, etc.) and without irrationally refusing to consider the points of others. That's why I friended you on BlogCatalog and favorited your blog.

Peace, love, and truth (synonyms),

Tom

Great Blog, but I would call you an Independent, not liberal. That is, unless you are a feminist, which I am not Anyway, I am giving you a 5 just from your last post.

Not too clued up with American politics and its lats 20 years of history I find the article impressive. It rings many a bell with me. As far as the future is concerned, yes, we shall be all enslaved without much of a chance to fight it off. Or not? Much food for thought to find that out, eventually. I may be enslaved by my homepage, by twitter and by a life style, I don't even agree with. Call it habit or a rut. Perhaps, that word was not exactly the right one. It's not always easy for an English speaker who is not an English native to find best expressions. The righter of the Progressive patriot calls himself his best student. Aren't we all our real only and best students?
