a move cybersecurity experts worry will choke off industry and civil liberties.

Ding....Ding.... we have a winner!

What an understatement! Worry or KNOW?

[Eaker]

Of course!

Perfect for mowing down our so called astroturf, isn’t it?

All the crap I took over the years for trying to warn people that communists were coming into power.

All the name-calling by ‘fellow’ conservatives, ‘naive’, ‘alarmist’, ‘extremist’, ‘It can’t happen here.” etc—but it’s bittersweet, I gotta tell ya.

We’re in big trouble, folks. Americans before us feared and loathed communism for a reason. They’re here, well entrenched at the highest levels of our government and presently kicking-in our teeth.

You had better learn to fight back, or get used to thinking of them as your masters.

They will be relentless, brutal and you and your idea of freedom are in their way.

We must keep fighting them!

Watch this video. What will it take for us to say no more and never again?

“John a une longue moustache...Blesse mon coeur d’une langueur monstrueuse.” With this Marxist tyrant subverting and/or shredding the Constitution, it already feels like “The Longest Day.” I thought Obamacare was going to be the tipping point for this reprobate, but this move may wake up the mentally arthritic that voted for cretin. Keep your powder dry, people, because I’m afraid the “Cold Civil War” is going to heat up pretty quick. God help us.

This is good so we can communicate with each other, but what about getting news from online sources?

My working assumption is that there won't be "online" sources. The ISPs will be clamped down and shutdown. If there is anything left of radio stations, you may have to listen and disseminate what you can find. If ham radio operators aren't forbidden from operating, they might be able to forward news items over a broader area.

For a country that was founded to get rid of royalty, we sure seem to have our fair share of royal families, to our big detriment. Which isn't to say that we don't have bad actors that aren't from royal families!

Thanks for the ping!

[SE Mom]

I’ll take all advice into consideration! thanks:)

Isn't it hilarious that the description of these bills is usually the exact opposite of their intent? Well maybe "hilarious" isn't the best word...

A bill to ensure the continued free flow of commerce within the United States and with its global trading partners through secure cyber communications, to provide for the continued development and exploitation of the Internet and intranet communications for such purposes, to provide for the development of a cadre of information technology specialists to improve and maintain effective cybersecurity defenses against disruption, and for other purposes.

What is the DEAL with Olympia Snowe?

Are you suggesting that because she has an "R" after her name she's supposed to be less culpable?

That's a dead paradigm. My observations suggest to me that "R" = "D" and they all have to go.

[bootless]

CONGRESS. SHALL. MAKE. NO. LAW.

[MrB]

The new paradigm through which we should see these congressbastards is

are they an elitist or an individualist.

[GraceG]

Yeah, we sure love our “Royalty” look at the Kennedys.

I think it is the dummies who love Royalty because it gives them a sense of security. And we know those who trade security for freedom deserve what they get.
