I’m sure you’ve seen the 0bama ads already.
They’re all over yahoo mail.

The FCC forced Comcast's hand in the nbc/merger/net neutrality deal.

So they have no choice. Comcast has to help the federal government build it's zoo.

We are in much the same boat. However, we DO qualify for this. I just don’t think I want comcrap in my house at any price.

If everything is subsidized for the poor by the government or whoever then why would the poor ever do anything to help themselves? Being poor or unemployed should be a motivator but society is taking it away and replacing it with dependence.

"We believe it will be used in large part to support our educational mission by providing students with the means to stay engaged in the learning process beyond the regular class day,” he said.

There are people who can make such a statement with a straight face? Wow! Acadamy Award material right there.

IOW the bigger the dependency the greater the reward.

failure is rewared.
success is punished.

Destroy the poor’s jobs and give then them the internet instead (for less than $20 in food stamps at the current rate).

What a deal!

Can't help but wonder how many of these "Poor" students are running around with $300 Adidas, Reboks or Nikes?

Reboks=Reeboks

I agree fully with your statements. This is totally ridiculous.
First the welfare deadbeats received free cell phones with 250 minutes each, now its low cost high speed internet.
As you stated, what's next a nice brand new BMW 750I, some Kobi steaks or how about that Lear jet.

Obamarx will not be satisfied until the entire united states of America becomes a complete socialized third world sh*thole with the government controlling every aspect of ones life.
