The Internet Ain't Broke, So Don't Try To Fix It
In other words, Obamacare for the Internet
And the people who crafted this legislation are using stupid, 1980's-era ideas that would never work with today's rapidly expanding Internet technology without completely crippling it.
And that's the whole point. The Internet in the United States is the last bastion of free speech on Earth. It belongs to US, not them. That's why they desperately want to seize control of it. Because once they own it, they will own us. And they would own a vast portion of the U.S. economy, because they would have power over everyone who does business over the Internet. Just like in the Third World.
But Americans, particularly the younger generations, have been paying attention to this Net Neutrality issue for months. We know that this is their sneaky way of taking away our Constitutional Right To Free Speech. And they want to stifle our creativity and innovation with excessive regulation, taxation and bureaucracy. And they want to make us pay dearly for allowing them to do it to us. Just like Obamacare.
This Net Neutrality issue will energize the youth vote in 2016 the way Obamacare energized the Tea Party. The Internet ain't broke, so don't try to fix it. And if those senile old fools in congress try, they will rue the day. We The People will see to that.

Exactly the intent. (Can I still post that?)
Tell the telcos to stop sniffing each packet requested by their customers, and then slowing the info down/block it, if it is a competitor. You know, the way it’s been done for 30+ years. Real simple.
But the telcos refuse to keep on adhering to the same protocols/processes that have made the Internet what it is today.
Why aren’t you mad at the telcos for basically attempting to destroy the Internet, and forcing the governments hand?
One of the FCC commissioners was on (can’t remember which radio show) but he is sounding the alarm and AT&T is really upset and I think he said that AT&T is planning to sue.
The Internet Ain’t Broke, So Don’t Try To Fix It
Our health care system wasn’t broke either but that didn’t stop them.
There is nothing that the progressive mind can’t “improve and fix”.
Actually, I think it was. But, it was "broken" on purpose to create the environment in which their "solution", ergo 0'care, could be trojan'd-horsed into place to fix things.
“..Exactly the intent. (Can I still post that?)”
This is an attempt to silence truth and information flow about Obama, the Rats and the upcoming 2016 election. Hopefully all concerned (big money corporations) will rebel against these criminals.
It needed a few tweaks. It wasn’t broken.
I don’t recall poor people dying out in the streets because they didn’t have health insurance. Everyone had healthcare if they could afford it or not. We had the best healthcare system in the world. Could it have been improved? Sure.
The big health insurance companies signed onto Obamacare for a short-term windfall profit, because the Federal Government forced people to buy their product. But in the not-too-long term they will be eaten alive and destroyed. Think about it.
This paragraph is a classic example of muddled thinking, incoherent in the way it is structured.
Who is "they?"
The paragraph refers to three separate entities, or groups : the Younger Generation, they (by inference, never explicitly identified) is presumably the government or the bureaucracy which may refer to the executive branch, or any of its created mini-executive branches which all individually or collective have co-opted the other two branches of government.
Any of the current bureaucracies (mini executive branches) can now create laws, establish new taxes, ignore the Constitutional defined duties of government and, like the original "Executive Branch" create or ignore legitimate Constitutional limits of power with impunity.
And getting away with it!
What is no longer in any doubt whatsoever is that the internet is the only remaining glue that the rest of us who are neither members of the "executive" departments, or the Hydra that the Executive Departments have become, or the related bureaucracies, without which the rest of us will be totally unable to do anything to resist that "Total Transformation of the United States of America."
Taxing the productive into impotence, and eliminating the only means to communicate and remain organized pretty much defines the ugly place where the "takers" and the totalitarians want us, the working, net taxpaying Americans, to enter, and just shut up.
Enough with the semantics already. You know damn well that “we” are the citizens (not “subjects”) of The United States Of America. And “they” are the fat elites who want to control our lives because they think that they are our “betters”. Your post was useless babble.
“Tell the telcos to stop sniffing each packet requested by their customers, and then slowing the info down/block it, if it is a competitor. You know, the way it’s been done for 30+ years. Real simple.”
Don’t be fooled, there’s two very different propositions going under the name of “Net Neutrality” right now and the one you are concerned about isn’t what Obama and his cabal are trying get enacted. Theirs is all about giving political activists authority over the internet by empowering the Federal Communications Commission.
Obama’s political gangsters want control of the internet in the same manner that they are taking over medicine. Anyone having anything to do with the internet, from providers to users, will have to ask permission from the new Internet Bureau at the FCC. It will be a gold mine for politicians seeking to peddle influence and for activists trying to silence their political enemies.
As it has been said. . .not every problem requires a government “solution.”
In the words of Ronald Reagan, and a fact, the government is not the solution, it's the problem.
Also, please note two things:
A: How they have coached their argument in the simple, easy-to-understand meme of 'our team internet' versus 'team big cable.' IOW, anti-capitalism, the favored argument of socialists and communists worldwide!
B: Their allies. Some of which I don't know why they side with these traitors, unless they just jumped onto the internet-destroying bandwagon thoughtlessly, which wouldn't surprise me given the low intelligence level programmed into them by the public education system they are the unwitting victims of...
But, I digress--CONTACT YOUR REPS NOW! TIME GROWS SHORT AND EVERY MESSAGE AND MINUTE WASTED COUNTS! Thanks for your time!
With Net Neutrality you will be lucky if there is a “here”.
Uh huh.....So, if two kids fight, instead of telling them to stop, one should get the government to kill them both and maybe a few of their family members too - all because their hand was forced....
‘With Net Neutrality, You Can No Longer Post Here’
That is precisely the reason the government is pushing for it so hard: they want to stifle political dissent.
And, once again, Obama don’t need no steenkin congress.
