Where does one go to escape the oppressive grip of the US authoritarian dictatorship of Comrade Obama? To an anonymous blogging website, of course.

We all know the MSM is keeping the REAL truth from us. I’m not talking about the truth that is supported by facts, documents, and reality. No, I’m talking about the truth that we know to be true in our gut. And thus, if you want to get the real facts about some of the most critical issues facing this nation, you should turn to Blogacause, a website that promises anonymity to their bloggers.There, you are free to publish the truth about Google hosting the countries medical records online, Obama planning to kill old people early in order to save health-care money, and even more reasons why Obama is not a US citizen. All without the fear of the “thought police” coming to take you away to the local FEMA concentration camp. Finally, somebody has created a website where even the most patriotic teabagger can have the right to freely speak his mind without the fear of having his voice muffled (i.e.: hairy balls in mouth).

And with that Colbert impression out of my system, let’s discuss the real underlying issue here. Being a blogger myself, I understand and value the importance of having an outlet to the world. A place where you can write about important issues and try to have some influence. But why do we need anonymous blogs for people who are just repeating the talking-points of Rush Limbaugh and his gang. Granted, I don’t know the political motivations of the sites creator, Michael Groves. But Blogacause is certainly dominated by extreme right-wingers. But why do they feel the need to be anonymous. The same group of people who cheered on Iranian youths to overthrow the Ayatollahs are scared to publicly discuss politics in the US. Iranians took to the streets, knowing their protests might get them killed or jailed. Yet, in this country, the “opposition movement” is so scared that they feel the need to hide on the Internet?

Anonymous blogging may have some benefits for journalism. A corporate whistle blower, for example, could use an anonymous blog to shed light on corruption or public safety issues. In authoritarian countries, anonymity may be required for even the mildest forms of political opposition. But why do people in the US feel the need for anonymity? Personally, I really don’t understand the fear. The constitution and the bill of rights are there to protect the people from the government. If you are too scared to attach your name to your constitutionally protected speech , you are either lying, or you live in a weird alternate reality where the government is coming to take your guns away and put you into concentration camps…with socialized medicine.
