You were saying — Well, it was really nice knowing all of you. (This is my farewell in advance, as FR will be outlawed)

Actually, the principle of Net Neutrality would keep Free Republic from being outlawed. It would be something like the Fairness Doctrine that could interfere with Free Republic.
Net Neutrality, on the other hand, makes sure that all different kinds of accesses and modes of using the “net” would be transparent and not blocked or charged more money, just because it was either a web site that did not pay for better service access and/or it was passing certain kinds of packets that the ISP did not want to pass through (and they either block or slow them down), if the service or website doesn’t pay an extra charge for it (to the ISP).
Bookmark for later study,I`m still looking into this Tor thing,sounds ok though.What do you think of it?
“Net Neutrality” is a good thing!!
If it wasn’t for net neutrality, sites like FR(among many many others) would have never existed as we know them.
Having said that, I totally oppose the idea of Hussein and the dems doing anything regarding the internet.
The bottom line:
The Internet is just fine as it is. LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!!
I’m sure they will disguise it as banning porn and doing it for the “Childrun”.....
It all depends on what you like.
For me TOR is too collective and convoluted. I would just rather have software that generates proxy IP addresses.
If you need encryption scurity though, TOR is the way to go.
Exactly. In fact, the CFIF article also includes “the healthcare industry, the ethanol industry, the airline industry, FREEDOM OF POLITICAL SPEECH...”
No, where can I find that?
· His first phone call was to Abbas, the terrorist leader of the Palestinian Authority and al Fatah; · His first interview was on al-Arabiya News Channel, where he apologized for the United States; · His first appointment of an envoy to Syria was the appointment of George Soros; · He bankrolled Hamas out of Whitehouse funds to the tune of $23 million, following Israel’s invasion of Gaza to stop the missile strikes; · He promised another 900 million to Gaza; · He immediately adopted the Saudi Plan as policy for Israel, which favors a contiguous Palestinian state (that is, a geographic area that connects Gaza with the West Bank and includes Jerusalem – necessarily dividing Israel); · He dismissed charges against the perpetrators of the bombing of the USS Cole; · He announced the shut-down of Gitmo, and apologized to the Islamic world for its existence; · He announced that his first summit would be an Islamic summit; · He turned a blind eye to Iran’s launch of a satellite capable of triangulating coordinates for ICBMs that Iran is furiously trying to develop for the delivery of nuclear weapons; · He turned a blind eye to the release of A. Q. Khan, Pakistan’s top nuclear scientist, who is believed to be the very person to have delivered nuclear bomb technology to North Korea; · He intends to eliminate our anti-ballistic missile defense program; · He intends to reduce our nuclear weapons arsenal by 75%; · He intends to reduce our military budget by 25%; · He has reneged on developing nuclear power; · He continues to block off-shore or expanded drilling; · He continues to try and block the production of coal (45% of our electric generating capability)
No problem. It’s geared towards Linux and BSD, but in my readings over the site I understand that they do produce a Windows port. I’ve never tried it with Windows though. I can say that it’s pretty easy to get working with Debian Etch, and Ubuntu 8.10 though (Linux).
Good point. I think it was Bay Buchanan who wrote a great article saying that the new Mc Carthyism and “hate” speech is now applied to those of us who want to enforce the law by securing our borders and stopping the illegal alien invasion. Suddenly, we’ve become “racists,” “xenophobes,” “nativists,” and worse. The Left broadcasts more hate speech and name-calling to those with whom they disagree than ever before.
If you are not worried about encrypting content , then the software solution is the way to go.
Simple works best for me, false IP addresses prevent lookup
and trace hacks.
tor buries your tracks and encrypts your coms to the final link to just before your destination .
Maybe they’ll impose the “Fairness Doctrine” on us making it mandatory the half our posts have to come from moveon.org — just to make it fair.

Thanks for the heads up.
That terrific post made my day! The guy on the right must be Henry Waxman - known to Rush as Henry “nostrilitis” Waxman. I’m still laughing as I type!
I doesn’t matter what some people think Net Neutrality is. Obama and his crew will define the way they want and I for one do not want Obama regulating anything.
Maybe somebody non-partisan and objective like Barney Frank or Dennis Kucinich.
OK - yeah, those two will do .... >snort<
I think more and more people are beginning to assert themselves by protesting (the ‘Tea Parties,’ etc.) and making their dissatisfaction with Obama’s policies known. Of course, he’s still popular but the polls show his political support is declining. Things are going in the right direction. I don’t mean this in an arrogant way but I think it will take some time before the people who supported him wake up to reality and exactly who it is that they’ve elected. But I believe that will eventually happen.
