"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?
