"Death to America!"

Here's the PRIMARY problem in a nutshell.
The Government running America is "out of control" in the sense that segments of it are being systematically taken over step-by-step. No one seems to want to step in front of the speeding train to try and STOP it. That would take LEADERSHIP.
We've already seen the Government, more or less, take over the healthcare system, now the Internet, and along with the FED they own the big banks, and the BSA is filtering the entire communications system.
America is rapidly being transformed into a TOTALLY GOVERNMENT controlled Country with MANY, MANY NEW RULES & REGULATIONS.

That's true. Video is data.
It's just that TV is an obsolete way to transmit it. Folks are figuring that out in droves. And that creates a problem for today's ISPs, because most of them, at least at the residential level, are also cable TV providers, having started out in that business before the internet.
I have 50-up/50-down from Verizon, but no TV. They keep sending me offers to upgrade to TV. But I think the next piece to go will be the land line telephone. Because, after all, telephony is just transmission of data, too! And it's silly to bucket it out as a separate service.
The FCC, by and large, is Constitutionally unsupportable and most of what they do cannot be supported by the Constitution. The FCC should be abolished. Since a snowball in hell has a better chance than that, states should nullify unconstitutional FCC acts, which this almost certainly will be, and figure out a work-around to FCC control of the internet.
We’ve reached the point where the states are the only enforcer of the Constitution by nullification.
I wish that just ONE state would issue a ruling or legislation explaining why the Telecommunications Act of 1996 is unconstitutional and, therefore, is nullified and rejected, the citizens of that state are not subject to its constraints or penalties.
Once over the legal hurdle, then address the technical hurdle of blocking or working around FCC internet control.

What do they mean “Not yet?” Since when is there a waiting period for rights? I suppose only illegals get “first amendment rights.”
Already ‘settled law’ with bakeries not allowed to deny queer wedding cake.
FCC = Federal Communications Commission
Communications:
Is that MY mouth, MY pencil, MY postings, MY finger?
They all send a message!
"Death to America!"
Conservatives need to start a new party, you can not clean up the filthy old corrupt rino liberal bucket of fools.
It's getting extremely close to the point that ordinary citizens defend their God given rights by using the 2nd Amendment at their disposal.
Tyrants deserve nothing less than death IMO.
In the ultimate analysis, it is we, the people who interpret the Constitution. Because it is we who are given to determine when a government has exceeded the power authorized it by the Constitution.
And it is we who are expected to rein in the government if necessary.
