Republican senators Mike Lee, Ben Sasse, and Rand Paul have all been high profile opponents of the Obama administrations current plan to regulate the internet -- in particular, Lee has called the regulation a government "takeover" of the internet and says it amounts to a "a massive tax increase on the middle class, being passed in the dead of night without the American public really being made aware of what is going on.”
And when Lee says that the American public isn't aware of what's going on, that is in no way hyperbole. FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai has emerged as a hero for those opposed to the regulation because Pai has been taking to the airwaves decrying the fact that the public is not allowed to see 332 pages of proposed internet regulation before they are potentially passed.
Because the Public would Crap their pants
Yes.
Yup. When’s Wheel of Fortune on? And grab me a beer. And quit yappin’ about politics, you ain’t gonna make any difference.
The silence on the GOPe / RINO side is deafening.
Your broadcast airwaves are regulated, and have been for years. Lefties trying to get it through by extension.
They all work for the same firm.
I understand that as there were only so many freqs and couldn’t have every one and any one cloging up the airways and regulation made sense and the www is not a broadcast entity,never was.WTF is extension.
It’s difficult for me to get your meaning, but voting isn’t going to help this situation.
It’s too slow, there’s too many liars, landslide election results have little to no actual effect on anything.
Sounds like another Pelosi definition of a stool sample coming up for the proposed Internet Legislation. You know, “We had to pass it to find out what’s in it”.
Don’t go after me. I’m just telling you what the phony rationale of the FCC left is: “We can regulate the airwaves, so why not the Internet?” That is extension, like the extension argument from licensing cars to licensing guns they love to use.
“We have to pass it before we can find out whats in it.
Just like any other stool sample.”
That is hilarious!
Such people are not mere humans, but "gxds" of "social justice" incarnated in human flesh.[/sarcasm]
You have to PASS the Tyranny in order to experience the Tyranny apart from the fog of Politics.
