I don't even know who you are anymore
americanthinker ^ | 3/1/2015 | John Redding

The America that I love has been changing, but it wasn’t until Feb. 26 that I was struck with the realization that I don’t recognize my country anymore. That was the day three FCC commissioners, without revealing the regulations or taking public comment, decided to take regulatory control of the internet.

Feb 26th? That's when it struck you John? Little slow on the uptake buddy. You gotta pay closer attention. Sounds like he needs to peruse FR frequently to keep up. :>}

To paraphrase. "You'll have to pass the new regs to see what they are. If you like your internet, you can keep your internet. We'll just be telling you what's acceptable and what's not acceptable. Trust us."

I completely agree with the original post.

It is shocking to me, this had just happened. Nobody seems to have said a thing.

If you are shocked now, just wait until the FED decides to take over the banks.

That could never happen, could it.

Did they stick the”fairness doctrine” in the new regs?

I live in MA where people are strange. I have had conversations with people recently -- about how the country has changed, about how Obama is not like other presidents (ignoring congress, executive orders, insulting the country while abroad, etc), and also about the odd use of science and statistics with no basis in truth. I say "It's all very weird, isn't it?"

And people say to me: "What re you talking about?? Nothing has changed. It's all perfectly normal, and everything is just the way it always was."

Blows

Me

Away

There are two distinct Americas.

It's just that the commie, homo, lesbo, atheistic, muzzie, tranny, Satanic (have I left anything out) contingent has come out of the closet.

My recollection is the Clinton people wanted some form of internet control back in the 90’s and wanted to create legislation to do it and never got very far.

Our zero in office has zero use for our legislators so just skirts them and has laws made by unelected bureaucrats that represent nothing but the current regime.

And our RINO’s just sit back and shake in their boots.

Just F’ing pathetic.

“...decided to take regulatory control of the internet.”

Just out of curiosity: What happens if everyone tells them to feck off.

the long steady flow of utterly surreal nonsense emanating from D.C. evidently had the author in a state of shock... overwhelmed by it's magnitude and speed of delivery...unable to catch a breath...

1.Soros gave $200 million dollars to get these net neutrality laws/regulations passed
2. The FCC and Obama don't have the authority to just pass 300 pages of laws/regulations to implement net neutrality on the Internet. Only Congress can pass laws.
3. net neutrality is just socialism/marxism/communism
4. We should file lawsuits to put an emergency stop on the FCC to save the Internet
5. The 3 democrats on the FCC voted to pass these 300 pages of net neutrality tyranny. the 2 Republicans voted no and wrote a dissent. who made these 3 unelected low level democrat bureaucrats the Supreme court and Congress all in one?

This is a marxist plan to not only ruin free speech on the Internet but all information so that the individual is kept small and the economy ruined. It will ruin free speech and ruin the Internet. with the Internet anyone has all the knowledge and tech ever created and can learn anything or solve most problems using google searches and youtube videos.

Anyone can learn how to do home repairs on youtube for example.

Obama and the FCC don’t have the authority to do this

We should file lawsuits to put a stop to these FCC actions/laws/regulations as they are unlawful, unconstitutional , illegal and very harmful to individuals and the economy

This is some scary stuff. I haven’t seen the FCC documents but soros funded this and imo the days for this site , Drudge etc. are numbered as the FCC will now be able to hear grievances against web sites (Rush limbaugh just said this).

I’m looking for another country to get out of this socialist hell hole Obama is turning the USA into

Again all democrats on the FCC voted for this socialism/marxism for the Internet. again all Republicans on the FCC voted against this socialism (same as for Obamacare)

Go easy on the guy. The light of the Lords wisdom comes late to some but it does come. For some ten yeas now I’ve seen the change. I’m pushing sixty. The America I grew up in vanished. The Good Lord can take me tonight or whenever it suits HIM. I’m ready. I don’t want to be here when the land I still love, if only the ghost of it, collapses.

no you are just a little guy/girl . you are not God and you don't know a thing FYI. Facts are Soros and other far left marxists have been working for years on these regulations . and Soros and other marxists have been giving hundreds of millions of dollars researching and writing , lobbying for these 300 plus pages of net neutrality laws the FCC just unconstitutionally passed. Just like Obamacare was written to ruin the healthcare industry so they go out of business and then we'd have to go to the government for healthcare this net neutrality is meant for the government to take control of the Internet and all information, the means of information production as was these marxists like Soros goal

in short you know squat.

You are probably just a troll "nothing to see hear move on" troll. what you say means nothing. This will have an effect if is allowed to stand.
