Leftists Don’t Form ‘Public Interest’ Groups–They Form Government Interest Groups

Those of the Left rarely like to admit or acknowledge that they are of the Left.

Witness their repeated vacillations on what they call themselves. It was “progressive” – until people figured out what that meant and loathed it.

So they bastardized the classical definition of "liberal" – until people found out what they meant by that and loathed it.

So they are now back to "progressive" – hoping that no one remembers how much they loathed it the last go 'round.

So too is it with the Leftist grievance groups. The assemblages that exist aren’t really to promote their alleged agenda items – but to grow government, and demonize and silence those who stand opposed to their so doing.

...

To give you but one example of this, let us look at the leaders in the Media Marxist field – Free Press.

On the wired Internet?

Free Press has led a long-run push to get the FCC to illegally regulate the Internet – which has been since its inception government-free – so as to then impose Network Neutrality.

On December 21, the FCC did their bidding.

On the wireless Internet/cellular smart phones?

Yet Free Press was apoplectic with the FCC's aforementioned Internet power grab – which they decried as lacking enough government lording over the wireless Web.

So they relentlessly, ceaselessly, constantly, abhorrently, insufferably, unbearably, intolerably (you get the idea) banged the drum.

And on April 7 the FCC again did their bidding – illegally voting themselves into the wireless data (read: Internet) over-lording business.

I posted this because it's an excellent example of how marxists are driving the net neutrality debate.
