The left lifts its boot toward the free flow of information
We knew this was coming. Within the last couple of weeks, both the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Election Commission declared their intention to regulate the Internet. Fascists always explain their actions as efforts to either make something more efficient, fair, or to supposedly protect their target. Sometimes they simply lie, like saying theyre nationalizing health insurance to make it more affordable and to increase access to health care.
Now, with the feds latest effort, their new slogan might as well be, If you like your Internet, you can keep your Internet. Make no mistake: The Internet is under assault and saving it is up to us.

I don't understand how 3 people at the FCC can implement Chinese style censorship for the entire Internet?
This is all about censorship, tax and control.
Never mind the super majority of people are against this.
GOP
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
or it could be about Obama wanting to run for another Term
If you like your 1st Amendment..............you can use your 2nd Amendment......................
Seems like we should be able to route around the gov’t.
No to Warder boarding the Internet!
The "Fairness Doctrine" did not regulate what people said.. it just made it very, very expensive for the radio station owners to broadcast conservative opinion. All the liberal shills had to do was complain to the FCC and if the station owners refused to give free equal on-air time the station owner would lose his license.
Hey! That's what Abe told me.. and not just the media of course.
The fault is ours. Abe will explain from "the other side."
You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.
A good friend of Obama's and part of the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological litter has already defined a kind of Fairness Doctrine to Obama -- and he used Free Republic as the target.
This from Obama's good friend and former czar:
And if they did not comply he as czar wanted the fetters to make them comply.
He recently left the Administration and is now an employee of Harvard I believe.
great link, I’m going to use that right now on another thread
The GOP needs to stand up and say “NO”.
Loudly, firmly, and over and over.
“NO”.
I would not count on the GOP leadership at the RNC. They are working for the DNC as far as I’m concerned.
Now Barry is going to do the Internet what he did for Healthcare.
That's right folks.
We will soon surf the:
The greatest invention since the printing press and soon the FedGov will control it from top to bottom.
What could go wrong?
(Well, besides everything...)
Do you REALLY think the phrase is “WADER board” or was that just a typo?
No to Warder boarding the Internet!
Warder is a word for guard or watcher of a gate.
I do not want to see a guard going aboard the Internet --
even if it merely functions as I remember the "Fairness Doctrine" functioned; to wit, you could broadcast conservative opinion but you will pay a hefty price if liberals file complaints.
