No kidding....they are so tentative as to appear like they don’t think he’d really do it. Of course, he will.

I’m convinced there’s no other way.

What say the idiots who voted for this man? Anyone have the stomach to see what the Dems are posting about this? I just can't make myself do it.

A more accurate description of security threat would probably be any website like this critical to the Dems.

The government has no right to control the internet. But, like all other rights that it gave itself, it just takes the rights.

The power this guy could yield in the event of a national or world wide calamity, is frightening. I won't go so far as to say he is the Antichrist himself. He will have to impress the world a whole lot more with his intellect and knowledge than he is doing now to fit the position, and so far, all he is doing is showing he is an idiot and a butt-kissing appeaser. A popular idiot, but an idiot. The Antichrist wont need a teleprompter.
BUT the spirit of the Antichrist I feel, is in him. Since Obama was elected things seem to be moving way too fast not to see that something BIG, and terrifying has been set in motion. Something apocalyptic set loose, something foreseen by the prophet Daniel.

Agreed. Bush could have shut down the internet after 9/11 by EO if he wanted to, but he didn’t, because he isn’t a wannabe dicator.

Our chickens are coming home to roost. We supported the lessor of 2 evils right up to the end. All the radio talk show hosts bit their tongues and supported Bush. In 2000 Tom Delay was called down for being excited about taking over all three branches of government. McCain wanted two chairmen on his committee. Bush sucked up to democrats. And we just kept voting for them. By the way, Delay is now a big time lobbyist.
And I’m just as guilty.

While I do not favor giving government this power, a more insidious means of controlling the Internet is being instituted in Australia. Under the guise of blocking child pornography the government will stop access to certain Internet sites. A leak of the list of sites to be blocked showed the usual government bungling as a web site for a dental practice in Sydney was on the list as well as porn sites. The danger however is that sites critical of the government could quickly be blocked as “hate” sites.

Gun Control is life insurance for those Government Officials scheming to steal the rest of your Bill of Rights.
INTERNET CONTROL is life insurance for those Government Officials scheming to steal your guns AND the rest of your Bill o’ Rights.
