I don't even know who you are anymore

The America that I love has been changing, but it wasn’t until Feb. 26 that I was struck with the realization that I don’t recognize my country anymore. That was the day three FCC commissioners, without revealing the regulations or taking public comment, decided to take regulatory control of the internet.

After the next two years no one will be able to recognize America, but hey if you a twenty-something you are happy and dumb that your Pres was able to accomplish this in-spite of an obstinate obstructionist GOP run Congress. /s

I sure hope you liberal dumba$$es remember you voted for this

Clinton and other democrats leftists wanted to regulate the Internet but no one took the illegal executive actions this Obama monster has taken on Amnesty, regulating the Internet , and a thousand other things

So as bad as Clinton, Carter and other presidents and politicians were this Obama is the worst monster ever.Anything Congress wouldn’t pass Amnesty, regulating the Internet, banning ammo, global warming legislation this Obama socialist has just done it unlawfully by himself

So Obama is even worse than Clinton, Carter or any other

How about when our “government” blockaded sidewalks in DC and highway pullovers across America so people couldn’t LOOK at our national monuments?

How about when armed park service police kept frightened tourists confined inside Yellowstone Lodge so they couldnt go outside and look at the scenery and armed NPS thugs blocked a child from getting up beside the statue of Lincoln in that open air monument?

Is that the America you remember?

and odumbo got away with it.

NO ONE EVEN REMEMBERS.

“As bad as Clinton, Carter and other presidents and politicians were, this Obama is the worst monster ever.”...

You will get NO ARGUMENT from me and more than likely a lot more.

Free republic is not the whole Internet

Just one certainty : This net neutrality will have a huge deleterious effect on innovation in the Internet as was intended. Government regulations always damage and reduce innovation on regulated industries : that is a fact you socialists don’t even understand or believe.

You are just a little troll that thinks you know it all . you don’t know a thing

I feel like I’m living in a foreign country. Constantly have to be careful to not offend people who are NOT from here. I have traveled the world and it is the opposite in other countries. One has to be careful not to offend the locals in their own country. It has gone stark raving mad here. I feel like a man without a country.

Whenever I encounter someone that clueless, I get up from the table and walk away. And never talk to them again.

If they haven’t grasped what’s happened to us in the last six years by now, they never will. That, or they support what’s going on.

And I don’t know which is worse.

Free Republic is only one site not the whole Internet so your statement means nothing.

Obama and the FCC just unconstitutionally passed 300 pages of Soros funded marxist laws for the purpose of government controlling the Internet and you want us to think that is no big deal. you are probably a troll

I can agree with four of those five points...

With regards to #4, do you honestly think “lawsuits” are going to scare the Left?

Actually, the FCC did post a document about new Net Neutrality regulations, got a gazillion public comments, then claimed they were modifying the proposed regs due to the public comments.

However, because they refuse to post the voted-on-and-approved regs, we do not know what changes they made to what was posted for public comment.

You’ll have to implement it to see what’s in it.

Our entire government (esp. the Executive branch) is totally out of control.

So out of control one can see July 1776 from their front porch.

I have talked to several people lately here in Texas and one in California that I know to be life long leftists. They are now admitting that things are not going well but will only admit that all politicians are corrupt. Still not willing to admit that they voted for a loser. It is their votes that put him in charge but they just can’t go there.
