Abolish the FEC and CFR.

You have gotten very close to the truth. Instead of the government shutting the internet down; perhaps we of the internet should shut the government down.

There is only form of campaign finance that can work, and it is the only one that is needed.

TERM LIMITS!

You can say that again. Which, as a matter of fact, you did. We are governed by our own consent. Anybody remember that?

CFR and its sequelae; Gore's post 2000 election challenges to Scotus, and now this have some serious implications. I have a few questions for you guys. This has the earmarks of someone's leash getting yanked and maybe getting shorter. Specifically, whose leash is getting shorter?

I have a second question, what if this is not just a leash, but a rope? Is somebody getting enough rope to hang themselves? Specifically, who is getting close to the end of their rope?

When all three branches of the federal government are pulling together in an obvious tug of war against the Constitution and the people that it was written to protect, are the ties that bind us getting stronger or is there a growing possibility of the ties that bind us being completely severed?

Could that red-blue map be a rough outline of the future republics that could come to occupy the geography of the previously "united" states?

Or is it just a trial balloon to see what kind of flak it might draw? For what it's worth, it is stunning to me that this is not one of the longest threads on FR.

Guess they mean to target places like FR since we have too much impact on the MSM. Gosh...can't trust us to think for ourselves, can you Mr. Rather?

"I don't think anybody here wants to impede the free flow of information over the Internet," [Vice-Chair Ellen] Weintraub said. "The question then is, where do you draw the line?"

You draw it right where you're kissing my web-postin', fuzzy, white butt.
