No, they want it all. The 'Rats have declared war on the First Amendment. They have to get the Second out of the way first though.
And we shook our heads at China. Stand strong people, this ride is going to get a little rough
Looks like Pig Nose is up to his old tricks again. The guy makes a camels butt look attractive.
It's the "People's Bandwidth" after all...
Boy are they wrong.
For years and years I've had my mind on software that would operate to delete both the image and voice of anyone I didn't like from my TV. For example, I'd be watching McLaughlin and Eleanor Clift would pop up. She's so bad I'd flip the switch hoping that when I tuned back to the show she'd be shut up. Should be simple for voice recognition software to handle that.
I can imagine the same thing on the internet. Something from Waxman or one of his running dog lackeys shows up trying to display on my screen, the software would just delete it.
I see sales in the hundreds of millions!
Isn’t he the dude that looks like the “pig men” from that old “Outer Limits” series...?
"The FCC and state and local governments also have oversight over the Internet lines and the cable and telecom companies that operate them. We want to get alternative views on radio and TV, but we also want to makes sure those alternative views are read, heard and seen online, which is becoming increasingly video and audio driven. Thanks to the stimulus package, we've established that broadband networks -- the Internet -- are critical, national infrastructure. We think that gives us an opening to look at what runs over that critical infrastructure." (emphasis supplied)
This is breathtaking. Of course it is breathtaking because they want to censor the Internet which has done famously without the aid of the likes of Henry Waxman but by their "logic" as well: because search engines do not direct the seeker to a left-wing websites, the government must regulate. Notoriously, liberals want not equality of opportunity but equality of results. Set forth in bold the object is wittingly or unwittingly admitted: they want those alternative views to be "read", "heard," and "seen" online. The arrogance is breathtaking.
The arrogance does not stop there. These liberals claim jurisdiction over the Internet because the physical infrastructure of the Internet is planned to be subsidized by porkulus. But porkulus and these provisions are stealth provisions in a stealth law. This goes beyond arrogance and becomes a matter of deceit and borders on the criminal. If I were a civil matter it would be called fraud.
Has anyone read lately the bill of particulars against George III in the Declaration of Independence?
It is already unreal what this socialist Obama and his party have begun to engineer. The battle over free speach is well under way...
What he’s trying to do, I suspect, is to regulate shows like Rush and Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity who have their shows broadcast from their own web sites. This is one way conservative talk show hosts can get around the Censorship Doctrine.
If the government can decide what’s “fair” in terms of political content on the radio or the internet, then what on Earth is the free speech clause of the First Amendment supposed to protect???!!!
I’m speechless. No pun intended.
Evil. Just plain evil.
The bigger deal they make out of this the better. This might wake up some people.
My bet is Congress will try to impose Internet censorship just like the Australians are doing ...under the guise of stopping kiddie porn. If fully enacted all Aussi ISPs would required to have a “filter” to prevent access to a government issued list of “objectionable” sites. All of this extra cost would of course be paid by Internet users in the form of new taxes on Internet access. All it would take to end access to Free Republic would be for the government to declare it a “hate” site.
