While conservatives are all sitting on their collective asses trying to be the smartest people in the room, the left is taking over the government.

Thanks for doing NOTHING buttheads. :)

The Supreme Court already said Obama can’t do this, but oh well...

Since the MSM is basically his cheering section, there’s little reason for Baraq & Co to play by any rules.

It pisses me off.

...but where’s our Sam Adams?

He died unexpectedly one night on an empty street from a sudden heart attack, shortly after threatening to release damaging information about Obama.

If JimRob has a problem with what I post here he’ll let me know. Until that time I will continue speaking my mind about those pushing queer marriage, and the queer agenda.

The only reason for this move is taxation. Declaring the internet a “utility” provides the pathway to tax via the telephone companies.

Further the meeting announced today, and noted audaciously as the day after the Jordanian Pilot was cremated alive hasn’t a damned thing to do with that action by the life forms that comprise ISIS. It’s the FCC action declaring the internet a “utility”, thus establishing means of taxing internet usage, which provides Obama more tribute for his contribution to the continued financing of the Islamic Caliphate that is at the basis of that meeting. That secret, “No press allowed” meeting.

Of course mine is all speculation, but I can’t see how I’m too far off course from all we’ve seen since this A-hole was elected to office.

Yes, and that’s ... again ... “the point” ... It is CONTROLLED as it is on every other part of the Internet. And it has ALWAYS been controlled on the Internet.

Just another illegal federal government power grab.

My point is, if need be, we can form a new internet. The technology is out there.

Yes it is one example is mesh networks:

I don’t think you will create another internet. You will simply interconnect your own network TO the internet. Otherwise you have nothing except a LAN or WAN. You can build a WAN if you want to do that but it will be a closed network.

If you are a broadband ISP you will be expected to collect taxes, adhere to FCC regulations and pass your collected taxes to uncle sam.

Block this. The Internet is not a public utility. This fight is as big as any liberty fight we’ve been in. We must prevail.

The State can not handle something like the internet not being under strict control. Much like it took a long time for the idea of a non regulated printing press to be acceptable.
