As I write this, there is a crowd outside the house of FCC commissioner Pai. His crime? He is returning control of the internet to internet service providers (ISPs).
The Obama administration enacted "Net Neutrality" in defiance of a Supreme Court decision. In essence, Barack Obama seized ISP property because the ISPs weren't serving the public interest. This was exactly how socialist revolutionary Benito Mussolini defined Fascism: a system where citizens own private property so long as they serve the public interest.
Churchill said Fascism would take root in the West under the guise of anti-Fascism, but I digress.
My real concern here is the rise of the radical left those people who believe that their cause is so good that it justifies any means. It's a rapidly growing idea and movement with a campaign to harass, intimidate, and threaten anyone who dares disagree with it. This is the type of reactionary stuff that portends a shift toward tyranny.
Never in my life before have I actually been afraid for myself and my family simply for giving a political opinion.
This isn't the way it's supposed to work in the United States. Elections bring new forces in, but there are things those victors can't do. It's this system that maintains the peace and insures a free flow of ideas. This is the system that has prevented tyranny since our founding.
But in 2017, liberals at every level have decided that those rules (be they constitutional or local) just don't apply to them. This has terrifying implications. Calls for violence against those who disagree with the liberal narrative are becoming all too common, and not just in backwater channels of the internet.

I’m only talking about that one line. I like the article.
Churchill was a prophet. So was Orwell.
Obama demands NAMBLA is given the same bandwidth as Netflix.
“Churchill was a prophet. So was Orwell.”
The left really are not that hard to predict when you get down to it. They are all about greed and power and history has always shown that organizations dominated by either tend to be rather corrupt.
Corruption of course depends upon hiding and misdirection to keep itself afloat. What more obvious way to do that then to install yourself in position where you can control the information.
We have beaten the corrupt democratic party, now their real masters have come out to fight us. We can beat this master too but we have to stand strong until they collapse in the transparency of their own lies.
Kids may be poorly educated but they have minds, and the more we make our state legislators force schools to permit free speech and press ourselfs out there to correct those lies, the more the corruption of their former educators will become apparent.
In the end the media has a credibility problem, and our public and private schools have a huge corruption problem. We simply have to point it out.
