The republicans in congress have to do everything in their power to ban funding for the FCC as long as they(FCC)think they have the authority to control the Internet.

Congress controls their purse strings let’s see how far they get without funding.

“But it is impolite to ask the Marxist usurper to prove his citizenship.”

it’s more than impolite. It’s evil, racist, hateful, bigoted, intolerant, and virtually terroristic......did’t you know that?....

This was struck down not to long ago under the name of “Net Neutrality” not likely a go again. Same crap in a different wrapper.

Bring it on.

May as well get this on the agenda, so it can join the rest of the progressive liberals fantasy ideas on the slag-heap of history.

C’mon November! (Hopefully the beginning of the end for every good-statist/bad-statist. If not, have contingency plans made.)

The excuse for airwaves being public, was that they were finite and subject to interefere with each other. The ONLY reason for regulating the net is to regulate the exchange of information.

Our right to freely communicate with each other over a private infrastructure is as important as the right to bear arms.

Our ability to quickly expose them, inform each other, and organize *terrifies* the revolutionaries who have seized our government. If they regulate the net, it is the same as confiscating guns,,, and all resistance becomes justified.

November is coming,,, they are frightened of us. They know our ability to organize must be stopped as quickly as they can do it.

Same here. But if I did verbalize how I feel I'd have the FBI knocking on my door!

Agree with you there. If I said what I really feel, there’d be a knock on my door.

The court said that the FCC did not have the authority to prevent Comcast, specifically, from blocking certain peer-to-peer Web sites.

 

Screw Comcast.

Verizon is my phone and DSL provider . I  also have family that lives overseas. I can call Brazil on my land line for 1.59 a minute or I can use Google Voice for .04 cents a minute. Guess which one I use and guess which one Verizon is going to start blocking.

“the FCC claims it will exercise “forbearance,” a regulatory doctrine whereby the government promises not use its regulatory authority in most cases. “

Yea... right. I don’t believe this for an instant.

“Same here. But if I did verbalize how I feel I’d have the FBI knocking on my door!”

That you even have to *think that* is proof that over the last 2 decades we have been headed into a totalitarian government. Obama is the final grab to consolidate. A government that makes a citizen afraid to say what he thinks is very close to triggering the “right and duty to abolish it” language in the declaration of independence.

Nancy Pelosi will no longer be speaker, and Reid probably will not even be re-elected.
