Most Internet sites and people are liberal and have nothing to worry about.
We, however . . .
Well, the American public didn’t have the internet or a state run press in 1775, and yet- managed to get the word out and connect with each other!
holy crap, we’ll be reading Russian press for news.
Obama is a typical coward who can’t stomach a fair fight in the arena of ideas.
The War is coming.
Choose your side. Man Up!
I won't allow it, will any of you?
Our representative form of government is eroding with breathtaking speed.
Look for pirate servers to pop up.
Obama is a communist reprobate who wants to be dictator over the American people. And he wants to silence all opposition to his Stalinist activities.
This is highly irregular. Normally, before the FCC puts out regulation, they submit and post an NPR, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, for public and commercial comments.
Obama does not like opposition to his anti-Constitutional agenda. So, no NPR.
He is really setting the DemonRats up for a HUGE FALL in the 2010 election. Good.
I need protection from false or misleading information from the us government, which lies 100% of the time on every single subject. Go self copulate, FCC.
I thought the FCC had jurisdiction over the public airwaves. Why do they have anything to say about the internet?
I have long expected that before the end of the first Obama term we will only be able to get uncensored news and conservative talk radio by short wave from foreign countries over the Obama curtain.
Can someone explain to me or tell me how or when the FCC got any regulatory control over the internet?
I’m not playing dumb here or trying to be a provocateur, I really just don’t know.
Soon, as with all readers of Pravda, we will learn what is happening by what is not in the newspapers, that you wouod expect to see there in the normal course of things.
My Russian friends in the days of the Soviet Union told me that this is how they read the news. I understood them intellectually, but now I un derstand them on an emotional level.
“U.S. gives up Internet oversight role via ICANN”

We'll all wake up one day and log into the internet to find it running very slow for some reason. All of our usual sites come up as error. Actually, everything comes up as an error except CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC and CNN.
But, no wait, there are other sites. Obama speeches on health care. Obama speeches on gun control. Obama speeches on the new Civilian Security Force coming to your neighborhood. Obama educational videos are the only thing on YouTube. Obama giving advice on diet, on proper cooking, on hand washing, on good citizenship. You search frantically for something else, even looking on the mainstream media sites for some answers and there is nothing. No acknowledgment that anything is wrong. Just little videos of children singing about the wonders of Obama.
Then a news story comes on and you see a man that looks like Rush, but the image is grainy. You can't be sure that's him. You hear the man say how sorry he was for all the lies he told about Obama and how now he wants to dedicate his life to helping the poor. He publicly apologizes to Obama and asks for his forgiveness. It doesn't sound anything like Rush at all, but the announcer says it is.
You grab your cell phone to call your friend and ask if he's seen the news, but your cell isn't working. Then there's a knock on the door. You answer it and three armed men in a strange uniform you've never seen are standing on your porch. They announce themselves as Patriotic Officers in the new Civilian Corp and tell you your transportation is waiting outside. It's time to get your inoculation, sir. Come along, please.
I’m seeing usual panic here before something happens. Saw the same arm-flapping and screaming last winter when ghetto thug obuma called out his “army” to go door-to-door and demand people sign fealty oaths to king obuma.
Nobody showed up.
Can we at least see the meat in the sandwich before rolling the guillotines down Pennsylvania Avenue?
Which, if anyone cares, is unconstitutional. The FCC is making law, which can only be done by an elected legislature. Not appointed bureaucrats.
Congress has no constitutional authority to empower an agency to to write law at will. And the President has no constitutional authority to direct said agency to write law at his behest.
The USA is not in danger of becoming a banana republic, it is one. A person appointed to a position can sit down, write an edit which can be carried out by law enforcement agencies. Your property can be confiscated for violating this arbitrary edit. You can be imprisoned for violating this edit. Is that a banana republic, or am I being oversensitive?
Ping.
