———————Seriously, you’re going all conspiracy theory on me now.-—————

I am? You yourself have pointed out “The real poison, as even Ayn Rand mentioned, is in the incestuous relationship between corporations and government.”(source: EFF/Soros funding thread)

The question isn’t if. It’s when. And Comcast most certainly is positioning itself the way I stated.

Public utility is often times how it begins. So what conspiracy? It’s all out in the open.

-—————and if liberal companies do everything based on liberal ideology above profit——————

You’re the one who can’t admit that NBC and MSNBC are just as liberal as they were before, with no end in sight to the liberalism, since the comcast merger.

And I’m the one who can’t let facts get through.

—————That’s the problem for you, they’re usually exactly what they seem. Let’s pick an extremely non-progressive case.—————

Sure. Keep citing exceptions to the rule, then try to paint me as a kook while ignoring the whole history of the ACLU.

With the ACLU, progressivism is the rule. Anything you can cite is the exception. Go ahead and ask the wider freeper audience.

-————If the facts don’t match the theory, then keep digging and go on the assumption that you just haven’t found all the facts yet.-—————

If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, I’m going to assume it’s a duck.

Even if I haven’t seen the duck yet. There’s feathers here. I hear quacking.

And all of this to defend marxist net neutrality. You’ve even go so far as to defend the idea of code nationalization!

I’m not the one with a problem with reality here. All the evidence shows that groups like free press are getting what they want. You want to discuss halfmanhalfamazing. All the evidence shows that the FCC is as compromised by insiders as FDR’s administration. You want to discuss halfmanhalfamazing. All the evidence shows that the FCC only listens to groups with a similar agenda. But all you want to discuss is halfmanhalfamazing.

Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing around here is working. You are being surrounded. The facts speak for themselves. There are far less people who are willing to ignore the soros money than you are, and they’ve turned on the concept of net neutrality based on the merits, and the merits alone.

It’s the merits.

Very true. Yet, somehow, there's no way net neutrality can be the exception. Did I miss your response to my question of whether I should now love the DMCA and embrace unconstitutional copyright abuse because a couple of these organizations fight against them too?

I want to know what my position needs to be here. You have basically told me that these issues are now poison because of who promotes them, yet I'd like to be a conservative and fight against such things like unconstitutional copyright abuse and remove unconstitutional restrictions and chilling effects on freedom of speech.

All the evidence shows that the FCC only listens to groups with a similar agenda.

And when the agenda isn't similar, invent one in your conspiracy world where they are. Net neutrality is liberal, proponents are liberal and opponents are conservative! The FCC is full of liberal insiders! Wait, Comcast has an insider in the FCC and they're against net neutrality? Wait, that means they must be conservative, but I've already called them liberal. Oh, it must be a long-term conspiracy to gain the upper hand in the future when Internet access becomes a monopoly utility!

The facts clearly didn't agree with you. The Comcast involvement blew away your one-dimensional liberal/conservative view of the issue because Comcast was on two opposing sides, so you had to invent a grand conspiracy to make it align again.

I'm done with conspiracy theories. I stopped talking to Truthers long ago, and I'm stopping it on this issue too. Feel free to discuss net neutrality itself, but I'm not going to try to make sense of conspiracy theories anymore.

. I know what I’m doing around here is working. You are being surrounded. The facts speak for themselves.

Facts? Is that why I constantly find myself having to re-educate people about the fact that net neutrality is not fairness doctrine, or whatever else you've falsely equated it with this week? Feeding people a bunch of lies and corporate talking points, and having them believe you, is not something to be proud of.

It’s the merits.

The merits? Strange then that you spend almost all of your time talking conspiracy theory, who has what money and which organization is aligned what way, and what other issues they support. If you want to talk the merits, fine, but as I said above, I'm done with guilt by association and wacky conspiracy theory.
