France's Sarkozy announces plans to jail repeat visitors to extremist websites

OK, so then we just need to worry about what is and is not an "extremist" website. Those that frequently cite the Constitution have been labeled as extremists fairly recently. I hope Obama doesn't get any ideas.

France's Sarkozy is a Corporate Fascist National Socialist.

He is constantly trying to rewrite history, his own failed history, as the corporate welfare, tax and give subsidies to corporations kind of Hitler wannabe that he is.

I'd think twice before

I'd think twice before hitching my wagon to any European horse.

Sure it might feel nice to side with Front Nationale but those cats are the second coming of Vichy. I'd let France sort out France's problems. We've got our own house to clean.

Question is, what if you visit a French "extremist" site

Will a warrant be issued against you in France? I was planning to visit Paris eventually.

Jacobin trash!

What, read the wrong pamphlet, and you've committed crimes against the liberty of man?

Sarkozy is ineffective, dirigist garbage that pushes other European leaders around, all while pushing to empower the European Central Bank to add growth to its targets so that it can inflate-away France's problems.

If I were a French citizen, I'd either vote for François Bayrou or Marine Le Pen, depending on how credible Bayrou's commitment to reform and economic liberty is. Le Pen is too protectionist, too xenophobia, and too anti-EU - in my view, the EU isn't bad per se - but she met with Dr. Paul to discuss monetary policy, wants to get small businesses restarted, and would be a big F.U. to the énarque elite.

Let us see..

"Domestic terrorism" gets you murdered, tortured or indefinitely detained, but committing murder only gets you life imprisonment with a possibility of parole.

Absent morality, human behavior is largely determined by cost/benefit ratio.

So predictable. A tragic

So predictable. A tragic crime, government over-reaction and excuse to take more powers and get us all that much closer to the police state.

Problem - Reaction - Solution

"France’s president proposed a sweeping new law Thursday that would see repeat visitors to extremist web sites put behind bars — one of several tough measures floated in the wake of a murderous shooting spree."

Burn the books!

If we could only get rid of knowledge, then maybe people would be good.

Is the DP an Extremist Website?

Im not in France, but I have a subscription to the DP. Does that give NDAA the right to pick me up? Or can the Executive Branch just send a drone to my home to take care of it?

Not that crazy of a notion

It wasn't very long ago the the Missouri government branded Ron Paul supporters as domestic terrorists.

I proudly display 2 Ron Paul & 1 prolife bumber stickers on each of our cars here in Missouri.

This is exactly the kind of

This is exactly the kind of thing tha tcould potentialy happen. Slippery slopes are real.

Yup

Maybe, that is how

they plan to shut down the internet. What is an extremist website?

Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.

I know about one of these extremist websites...

www.eu.eu

These guys are WAY extremist, they want to abolish all nations and create an international, non-democratic, socialist super-state!

Ok Sarkozy, break out the paddy wagons.

Oh, crap!

I just made my first visit. I hope I don't click on it again!
