You accidentally put /s...

[Baltimore ken]

Kerry is an elitist pompous ass.Dumb as a box of rocks too.

[headstamp 2]

Another government worshipping idiot.

[Billthedrill]

Sure, Johnnyboy. Because everything improves once the government is in charge of it, right?

[matt04]

The internet seems to be working fine right now, I pay my local ISP who grants me access to whatever information I need to access at any given time.

[windsorknot]

Statists always want more..........rules, money, and power.

[SunkenCiv]

In a speech today in South Korea, Secretary of State John Kerry said that the Internet "needs rules to be able to flourish and work properly." This, according to Kerry, is necessary even for "a technology founded on freedom."

IOW, no more Mohammed cartoons, no more criticism of The One, or Cankles, or Castro, etc. Control of access by foreign gov'ts? That's none of your business, and prepare to be served.

[VRWCarea51]

I suspect John’s vagina is still hurting from being taken down by the Swift Boat Veterans.

Tough Shit John. Man up, It will be a first...

Kerry: Internet 'Needs Rules to Be Able to Flourish and Work Properly'

We already have a set of rules. It's called the U.S. Constitution, which says to internationalists like Kerry: Keep your hands off our free speech.

[Made In The USA]

“needs rules to be able to flourish and work properly.”

What??? I’ll offer a deeply thought out policy for the current regime: Leave it the hell alone.

[Mariner]

An International organization will be able to zero any DNS entry they choose, according to THEIR criteria. And THEIR law.

The only way to get to a site that has been zero'd (I coined this term:) will be via IP address.

[GOPJ]

What do the Chinese and Russians have on Kerry that makes him sell us out like this?

[dsrtsage]

Government must step in before things like global warming denial gets out of control

[polymuser]

Ahh, John, I see — like the rules that work sop properly for our State Department and emails and accountability?

He’d be a laughable clown idiot, were he not so empowered.

[olezip]

In a speech today in South Korea, Secretary of State John Kerry said that the Internet "needs rules to be able to flourish and work properly." This, according to Kerry, is necessary even for "a technology founded on freedom."

I think that most knowledgeable people would agree that the internet already is able to flourish and work properly. Why does the internet need more rules? How is it not flourishing and working properly? Is the internet not already founded on freedom?

Does John Kerry want to get rid of Drudge, and other reliable and effective sources of information like Free Rupublic? Is that what he is saying?

[ohioman]

Give it a few years and we on FR will be in jail for subversive internet postings (i.e. subversive equals anything not in line with the leftist, one world agenda.)

[lowbridge]

Bump

[G Larry]

Hey John!

“Flourish and Work Properly” is exactly what it’s done over the last 25 years.

Any government involvement will guarantee failure in both measures.

For proof, please refer to:

IRS
DMV
Immigration
EPA
Post Office
Amtrack
Fannie Mae
Freddy Mac

oh....and...uh...THE STATE DEPARTMENT!!!

[Chode]

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Any treaty requires senate approval.
Fat chance...
