This scenario resembles the fellow who abandons his wife and children to chase after a long-legged gold-digger. The children and former spouse are forced to pay for his extravagance.

Just as society disapproves of men who spend their kids' college funds on fancy cars, fur coats and jewelry for bimbos, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled in April 2010 that the FCC doesn't have the authority to regulate the Internet unless Congress first passes such rules for the agency to enforce.

Is this another Democrate lead “scam the jew” government program?

Victims of Madoff/Zero ponzi government schemes... from wikedpedia

Affinity fraud

Affected institutions include Kentucky University, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America, the Elie Wiesel Foundation and Steven Spielberg’s Wunderkinder Foundation. Jewish federations and hospitals have lost millions of dollars, forcing some organizations to close.[75] The Lappin Foundation, for instance, was temporarily forced to halt operations because it had invested its entire $8 million endowment with Madoff. Affected institutions also include Stony Brook University Foundation and the James Harris Simons family foundation.

Nowhere near the threat that the FCC poses, a coin-op agency representing the interests of marxists and george soros.

Judicial watch dug out the documents, we know it to be true.

When about to be caught or running away, they attack and attack and attack, using rhetoric or “letting the government dogs out” and staying put... yep... Zero has a way to destroy America so as to save his own arse.

I tell you where Zero is at.

He is exciting and angering the government agents against us, is where he is at. Behind the scenes he preaches the hate of the whites are the terrorists, is what he is doing.
