Check Obama's back pocket.
He is worried about it, yet another means for the Leftists to get more control over the masses.....paraphrasing
Maybe they are, I don’t know.
They want to control internet content, they want the power to ban books and films and internet content, they want their own internal militia force controlled by the President himself, they want to shut down talk radio and TV shows they don’t like by instigating boycotts and they will hold rallies by paying to get them out. They want literally everyone to depend on government for something or other.
All of this points to One Party State.
They want to get this done because the window is probably 2 years. But then again, they might burn down the White House and blame Republicans next October to win the election if it looks bad enough.
I would NOT put them above them.
This is one more in a long line of unconstitutional proposals since regulating the internet is not expressly listed in Article 1 Section 8 as a power granted to Congress. Regardless of that fact, there are only three cosponsors for the bill!
sorry = (
Now there's a classic!
Patton? (if not, or another, then kudos, well said)
calling that bitch a Republican should be prosecuted as a fraud!
Yep.
"Shut 'er down, boys."
Since I’m on facebook and I’m still linked to Bob Barr.. I’m going to e-mail him and see what he says..
Just pull the power plug....
What's even MORE unbelievable is the DUmmies either haven't seen this yet, or they're ignoring it! They SHOULD be goin' APE-Sh*t over something like this, considering how they went ballistic over the infintesimal possibility of a potential wire-tap threat. That wasn't JACK-SQUAT compared taking control over the internet.
Woe to the man who thinks he can wait and hope things get better. It is getting worse. How bad do you want it to get before you all take action?
Stick to worrying about what you are doing and not what everyone else is doing.
It doesn't block out all content the Chinese government considers objectionable. It's actually pretty porous if you have basic technical knowledge to circumvent it. But the psychological effect of its existence has led to massive self-censorship by Chinese internet users--and that is far more effective, and much less expensive, than any content monitoring system.
Most people will grow timid, even in America, if they have good reason to suspect their internet use is being monitored by the government.
First, having a czar in charge of security will mean that there will be some wonderful system developed that will supposedly protect all government computers. After all, that is the reason for having all of the brains in the czar's head.
OK, then when a hacker figures out how to hack one government computer, he has the key to hacking all.
Like Microsoft windoz...hack one, hack millions with the same code.
The only way for government or any other machines to be secure is for each and every systems manager to develop his own security. That done, a hacker must go after them one at a time. Much harder, more time consuming and gives warning to the systems not yet hacked.
But that is a detail. The real bone here is that they really intend to control communication between the citizens.
If this does not scare everyone into action, then we truly are doomed.
The very first amendment is going to be trashed between the diversity czar and the cyber czar.
How can the press be so stupid as to not realize that they will eventually be controlled.
We have government totally out of control, led by Obummer, the Fascist.
What do we do about it?
Bill Gives President Emergency Control of Internet
****************************EXCERPT****************************
Why on earth would the president ever need (legitimate) emergency control of the internet?
The new version would allow the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and do what's necessary to respond to the threat.
They already are banning old toys and children's books for resale because of the use of lead-based ink.
