The End of Freedom in America

Democrat-controlled FCC has its way, the Internet will slow your access, could eliminate access countless sites that provide news, express opinions the federal government finds offensive. That's what tyrannies do

The America that has existed from the days of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, when its sovereignty was acknowledged by a treaty with England 1783, and its founding in 1788 with the ratification of the Constitution is no more. The America for which thousands fought and gave their lives is no more.

That America ends on February 26 when the Federal Communications Commission, under intense pressure from the Obama White House and with the votes of its Democratic Party commissioners asserts government control over the Internet with a 332-page set of regulations, dubbed “Net Neutrality.”

Start the Revolution! I am sick and tired of this tyranny! Where is the Republican opposition to this assault on free speech? One can only conclude that they agree with this action.

[Secret Agent Man]

The RINO/GOP-e leadership does agree. They just want to be running things, they like what Barry is doing because he does it and they don’t have to. If people b1tch it’s not on their hands, not them doing it. They’ll never reverse anything he’s done, they put up their kabuki show but never reverse anything.

[TBP]

These little Nazis cannot rest until they control everybody’s lives — and all the wealth.

Big Brother is watching you — especially online.

“net nuetrality”

sometimes you just have to tip your hat to your opponent. marxists come up with the best names to fool the average public school grads.

[nascarnation]

especially online.

That's the fun part of being a FReeper.

No worries about hiding anything, they have it already.

[Logical me]

This will be the first war America lost. And it was from within, just as predicted by many of us. We are in the closing years of the worst dictatorship, with complete power, that America ever had and he has won so much that most of it can never be reversed.

"So the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense. Thus did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over--a weary, battered old brontosaurus--and became extinct.” ― Malcolm Muggeridge, Vintage Muggeridge: Religion and Society...... www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/17437,Malcolm_Muggeridge This is where we are in America, folks, and it was happening in 1974, when the great Malcomn Muggeridge was able to put it into words.

“...and he has won so much that most of it can never be reversed.”

Much of it CAN be reversed, but do we have a vestige of a government that WANTS TO??? I still remain befuddled as to how a few hundred people are being ALLOWED to destroy the greatest country on earth...of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of people??? Why??

[jazzlite]

Watched this last night...It was VERY scary. What is Net-Neutrality, exactly? Is it the next step in setting up a dictatorship? Below is the trailer for the documentary about Edward Snowden, etc. Everyone should watch it just to be informed.

for later

[Star Traveler]

It’s not going to change anyone’s speech. The same court cases that have been applied to Freedom of Speech, still apply.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

The only silver lining is that the lockstep leftists will also notice how much their new Internet sucks, and we’ll have another “told you so” moment- kind of like how the idiots are shocked when their tax refund is partially confiscated by the IRS because they got too much of a subsidy.

[boomop1]

I was gong to buy a new computer but not now, this reg will have snowballing consequences.

[areukiddingme1]

What does this mean to FR???

[Bob434]

if our supreme court had ANY backbone at all, it would IMMEDIATELY take up this case to determine thaqt a president and the FCC do NOT have the authority to take over the internet- period! The GOP ‘should be’ screaming fro mthe rooftops right now- threatening the president with lawsuits over this- but they are silent!

[Bob434]

[[These little Nazis cannot rest until they control everybody’s lives — and all the wealth.]]

Isn’;t it amazing that we originally moved to America to escape this very same dictatorship crap, and now we are going right back into it? And the people just sit by and are watching it happen- and the GOP- who are SUPPOSED to represent us, to PROTECT us against such tyranny, will not lift a finger to stop it!

[Bob434]

[[This will be the first war America lost. And it was from within, just as predicted by many of us]]

It was predicted long ago by the kremlin- He accurately predicted America would be taken over from within and that force need not be used by foreign nations- America would ruin herself- and we are- sadly

[FlingWingFlyer]

The Nazi zombies attack America. I never thought I’d live to see it.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Mugg nailed it.
