There will come a day very soon where if you have not prepared, you will be cut off from your ability to prepare.

I would think this would show - once and for all - the danger posed by the gargantuan regulatory apparatus that is the exclusive property of the executive branch.

A competent opposition party would be able to shut this effort down over the course of a few days. Especially one that controls both houses of Congress.

Key word here is “competent.” Which is why it’s a pipe dream.

Whatever happened to Darrell Issa, and Trey Goudy, an all the subpoenas they were going to issue?

One of the Democrats great techniques in recent years is to launch on some minor issue of a Republican administration, rev up five or ten congressional investigations and special prosecutors, let the incendiary details come out drip by drip over a period of a year or two, and thereby tie up the executive branch in so many PR horror shows that they can’t go to the bathroom in peace. Thereby derailing their entire second-term agenda, and legacy.

Of course, we can’t expect the Republicans to do anything like that. Another pipe dream.

I believe the World's ruling elite now seeing their names and details of who they actually are on the internet blogosphere causes them serious concern. They can't have the people freely communicating in truth because that threatens their “beyond imagination” wealth and power and since they control those in the US government, well, you get the picture.

Yep, the Republicans should be all over this but I suspect there are a fair number that could care less or may in fact support it.

An unregulated Internet is the enemy of tyranny. They view it as a great threat to their power. A regulated Internet is the tool of those that impose tyranny.

Free Republic or Pravada, which one do you want?

Liberals everywhere will be mystified when the Democrats start “disappearing” their internet sources.

“But, but... you promised... I didn’t know...” they’ll all bleat.

I can already hear it.

Scary:

“The truly alarming attack is coming from the Federal Election Commission. The Democrats, or as they are known to most real Americans the Party of Treason, wants to limit political speech on the Internet. The Democrats on the FEC do not simply want to put limits on political advertising; they want to put limits on political speech.

“In the Democrats’ rabid hysteria over the Citizens United case, some important facts are completely forgotten. The McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill, which was partially struck down by Citizens United, put onerous restrictions on free speech by organizations.”

“First, it wants to have the FCC declare the Internet to be a public utility.”

An awful lot of people worked hard, and many gave their lives, so that we could have a Nation where some bigshot couldn’t just MAKE UP “LAW” AS HE GOES!

I’m not buying this. I’m not living like this.

as we have all heard and history proves; Freedom isn’t free. The way this fraud in the WH and his regime are moving and Congress is just collecting a pay check while doing nothing close to what they swore an oath to defend, it’s reasonable to conclude that America is facing some very ugly times and likely before Nov. 2016.

What? The Internet is more important than the telegraph, the telephone, the electric light bulb, the airplane, television, Coca-Cola, potato chips, baseball, football, basketball, peanut butter or fortune cookies?
