In the eyes of our political class, there is no right to privacy, unless you want to kill an in-utero baby or if your grade schooler wants birth control pills.

[rockrr]

Depressing to see that it is an idiot pubbie proposing this.

[pointsal]

Isn’t against the law in Iowa to take a photo of an industrial animal raising facility? Free speech phooey...long gone.

[EGPWS]

All users posting to websites would have to post their real name and address, non-compliant posts would be axed

What a joke!

I would have to use EGPWS everywhere I interact on the Internet.

Personal freedom and personal rights are disappearing fast.

[Drill Thrawl]

It’s only for the protection of right thinking people.

Good grief. No one should fear anything online. This isn’t grade school and there aren’t even sticks and stones. It’s printed. You don’t like it, don’t read it. Someone puts something on your facebook that hurts your widdle feelers then unfriend them and get off that stupid site. Someone emails you, block their address and delete it. How simple is that? But noooo, we have to have a Bill!!!! Some little minority of ridiculously stoooopid sheeple mess the internet up for the rest of us.

It was introduced just over two months ago by Sen. Thomas F. O'Mara (R—Big Flats).

Wonder if he's friends with Dede Scozzafava

[upchuck]

How is a state gonna enforce this?

Only on web sites hosted in NYS? And how will it know who those are?

Do not the NYS idiots know how easy it is to move a web site?

[Maceman]

Someone needs to remind this ignorant fool that the Federalist Papers were published anonymously.

[Beowulf9]

Instead of this idea, why not focus on voter ID?

Oh, well, silly to bring it up I guess...

[kevcol]

Shades of Hussein’s “National User ID”.

[berdie]

So...voter i.d. laws are unconstitutional, but you will have to prove who you are on an anonymous site on the internet to simply post an opinion?

Makes perfect sense to me.

[Drill Thrawl]

This is a good application for rule .308

[lightman]

Post Office box rentals will soar.

[Uncle Ike]

That NC teacher who threatened her student with arrest for criticizing Obama was just a few months ahead of her time...

This is the first step toward a new Sedition Act....

[svcw]

The bill is bad enough on its own, proposed by a Republican, makes me want t vomit.

[unixfox]

I’ll post my real name.

KISS MY ASS

[Nebr FAL owner]

So you look up the address of a local cemetery & you sign yourself as one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence. You have a legitimate name & address & it f*cks with the totalitarians.

[Political Junkie Too]

Maybe they should just round up all the intellectuals and have them killed?

[dennisw]

It's unclear exactly how much support the bill has in the State Senate.  It was introduced just over two months ago by Sen. Thomas F. O'Mara (R—Big Flats).

_{Republican!!!!!}

[Twinkie]

IF a hundred million people post en masse and often, posting their real names and addresses each time, even the tyrannical Obama administration will be overwhelmed.

However, anonymity is necessary for the ordinary citizen who is at the mercy of Holder and his “people”.
