romises: Not long after FCC chairman Tom Wheeler swore that the FCC takeover of the Internet wouldn't result in new taxes or fees, it appears likely that new taxes will show up on Internet bills in the near future.

Congress has been replaced by a pen and a phone.

You know, I’m getting sick and tired of having this stuff helplessly rammed down our throat, as if you and I are supposed to rise up on every such occasion and stop the madness.

Don’t we have control of Congress? Are Republicans in Congress getting paid to do anything? You know, if Republicans are that timid and so desperate to be loved by the NYTimes that they refuse to do ANYTHING meaningful, then one by one they should be booted out of office.

Give me a few more Tom Cottons and Ted Cruzes and let’s do something — ANYTHING!

The entire point of all the hidden taxes in Obama care, and all the hidden taxes on all of zero’s legislation is to redistribute all the wealth. Turning the USA into a socialist state, which will effectively remove it from the world stage for good. Once the money is spread out, you can’t put it back into the piggy banks.

They get paid by the special interests they work for. They don’t work for you and me.

Government is the greediest, most corrupt and murderous force on Earth.

It's not even debatable.

It won’t make a bit of difference for the operation of Free Republic or our Freepers posting here. We’ll go on for as long as we want to keep supporting Free Republic!

It’s WAY past time to tell these thieves to GET OFF OF OUR LAWN!!!

They can’t manage the money they have.

They certainly don’t “need” more.

We need legislation to roll back this over-reach before they use it to control our FREE SPEECH!

Sadly, the Republicans can be blocked by a minority of senators and the president. An aggressive, unified senate majority could override the filibuster, but the majority party is weak and divided. They lack the will to fight, and even if they did, the president could still block everything.

The sad truth is very little can be done until Barack Obama leaves office. In the meantime, he controls the regulatory state and can have them do pretty much whatever he wants by simply interpreting existing law as broadly as possible.

WRONG!

FR will be CLOSED, because we’re insufficiently fair and balanced.
