This is why President Obama needs an "internet kill switch."

Of course, when the next Republican President takes office, the "internet kill switch" will be cited as evidence that the Republicans want to turn America into Nazi Germany, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

social media? What the hell is that.

Is there anything wrong with the word internet? Just because Conservates by nature stay away from sites like ‘My Space’ and ‘Facebook’[all started for prepubescent kids to post pics of their favorite likes, dislikes, personal info, immoral bilge of all kinds——A scream of look at me].

This doesn’t mean Conservatives haven’t been STOMPING the sh!t out of demoncrats since it’s inception.

How do you think info of Barry’s ineligibility made any traction anywhere. The press on all sides refused to touch on the subject. The Conservatives on the net, the people, forced this issue to a head. No small feat.
