My question to Sunstein would be, who does Obama pal around with, sit on boards with,go to dinner with, hide videos of speeches with, fund with tax dollars or board aid, Or have in his administration that is not radical or hate America and what it stands for?
We knew this was coming. it is not a matter if obama should control the internet. Obama has czars in place to control cable news, talk radio and the internet. And they wrote books describing how it should be done. Obama hires those who have written books so he knows what he is getting.
I see Rahm and Axelrod sitting around with Obama, saying I read this book and you would not believe this guys radical communist ideas. Obama, get him on the phone. I will make him a offer he can't refuse.
Obama cannot end term limits and obama cannot be fraudulently elected 2012 and on if he does not control the conservative voice. There is only so much money to hand to ACORN for voter fraud and obama is spending like crazy and we are bankrupt. Obama will need to control what people are allowed to read and hear without illegal funding. When he does msm will be worse than they are now after looking at obama destroy freedom of speech evrywhere they will too scared to write the truth.
You have to wonder what MSM thinks when they see what obama is doing to our country. Do they ever worry about their children and grandchildren? Are they concerned their parents will be forced to accept death early or when obama says it is time?
Thought this thread was a bit relative to your posts this morning.
There’s one title that John S won’t be able to use. Reality is ahead of satire.
Control - his favorite thing.
What a wonderful CHANGE?!!
GTH!
Yes, thank you.
What someone posted on this thread earlier struck me.
There is no central control of the internet. It allows many millions of individuals to contact one another. Any controls would have to be instituted by ISPs - that is the bottleneck.
Such controls would be violations of the First Amendment and therefore unconstitutional. That doesn’t seem to faze the Obama Administration, as they’ve regularly abused our rights. So, I expect they will at least try to prevent the free and open exchange of ideas and information.
Funny that China claims it controls its internet yet they are world leaders in computer hacking.
if Obama tries to control the US part of the internet it will unleash a wave of hackers looking for every conceivable way to disrupt a government website.
is this fear stirring? trying to get attention to a subject that to me is not really important?
I hope he does, I mean it, that he really does a draconian gesture.
Not to mention all the garbage spewed in the past year about Sarah Palin and her family.
I wonder if we could catch Obama in a lie (not too difficult to do), would the government take down the crap on his White House website for being 'falsehoods.'
Ironically, (and historically), its the MSM who are first to be taken to the gulag in any totalitarian dictatorship. Guess they've not learned from history
“This is not satire.”
I know, LucyT...that’s what makes it so scary. BO doesn’t have one ounce of “funny” in his body.
He’s full speed ahead to socialism.
That’s what all the ammo purchases are for. Unlike Germany in the 30’s these Nazi’s are going to get a hell of a fight from us.
What kind of lettuce is that?
Awesome! Is that a Commodore 64!!!???
“What kind of lettuce is that?”
Poison Sumac?
I will get into it later. I am a telecom veteran and I can tell the only asshats that think centralizing control of the free flow of information are government hacks who want to tell you what to do.
funny, you don't see them trying to control print, broadcast and radio news.
Here they will postulate they are not controlling the news or the content.
In fact, if you think of the Internet as bunch of Rail Road Tracks, they will control what travels on the tracks, get on the tracks, gets off the tracks and where and when information can take place.
It is also akin to creating “Free Speech Zones” on the Internet.
Your tax dollars built this thing originally. However, it is private industry such as PSInet and UUNET, @Home, MCI, LCI, QWEST, Sprint, all the Bell companies and many more I have since forgotten, THEY are the ones that expanded it to meet demand for new markets.
You and the companies you worked for saw this new medium of transmitting thoughts, ideas and porn created the demand.
Your dollars, spent with private companies, created the modern Internet.
your frustration led to the creation of HTML cuz stupid humans don't quite understand code and English is just plain easier.
That lead to the creation of electronic libraries and publication who sought increase readership and ad revenue through your eyeballs.
Which of course lead to pay for play video, video game and even renting movies.
And Hey! Guess what? The telecom companies want to control “3 Screens” and further solidify their relationship with you. That is the TV, Computer and Cell phone.
All these service providers and the services and products you buy are layered onto the transport system that enables you to use “3 screens”.
So you ask, should the government ration what I spend my money on? Which was paid for with the sweat of my work?
I say again, Uhmm, F**k NO
Butterhead?
