This is What Fascism Looks Like

FTA: 

In what seems like a flagrant breach of First Amendment safeguards, New York lawmakers have drafted twin State Senate and Assembly bills that would force New York-based website administrators to remove “any comments posted on his or her web site by an anonymous poster unless such anonymous poster agrees to attach his or her name to the post and confirms that his or her IP address, legal name, and home address are accurate.”

Sort of negates the whold “anonymous” part, doesn’t it?

Okay, not exactly Fascist, but fairly high on the Douchebag meter.

I feel the best way to ensure Americans’ freedom is to tighten restrictions on that freedom in any way possible. Only through wiretaps, illegal searches and seizures, unfettered government intrusion, a controlled media and a complete crackdown on free speech can we ensure the liberties of all people.

What kind of heartless bastard would take food out of the mouths of needy children?
