Another Friday, another violation of American freedoms and rights. This one is personal. Today, ICANN and the US government announced their intention to relinquish control of the Internet to the UN by 2015. Where’s Congress? Where’s the outrage that should be thunderous over this travesty?

From WaPo:

U.S. officials announced plans Friday to relinquish federal government control over the administration of the Internet, a move that pleased international critics but alarmed some business leaders and others who rely on the smooth functioning of the Web.

Pressure to let go of the final vestiges of U.S. authority over the system of Web addresses and domain names that organize the Internet has been building for more than a decade and was supercharged by the backlash last year to revelations about National Security Agency surveillance.

Perhaps they can finally regulate the presentation of filth to children without the perverts hiding behind a misguided application of the first amendment to claim any restrictions are forbidden.

And here is the expected juvenile response.

Perhaps you should direct your question to the owner of this site and ask him his feelings concerning Mr. Romney.

I have no doubt that would be an entertaining conversation.

you’re just hijacking a thread to distract from what Obama is doing to us ,destroying this country and eliminating free speech. Romney is not an issue now but your marxist Obama is the one doing the damage to the USA.

where is your proof that Obama is not the worst that could ever be , you liberal?

freepmail a site where i can have no word restrictions and i’ll set your socialist self straight on that web site or internet site.

one off comment is not thread hijack but continuing threats and provocations are an attempt to hijack a thread .so i’ll go to any other site

I asked you a question and you cannot provide a coherent answer, but you are quick to resort to petty insults and pointless distractions.

Answer my question and we can continue the conversation. Otherwise, STFU and take you medicine.
