A US Senate committee has approved a wide-ranging cybersecurity bill that some critics have suggested would give the US president the authority to shut down parts of the Internet during a cyberattack.

[anniegetyourgun]

The agenda marches on.

JUST LIKE AHMEDINEJAD.

Heil Hussein!

An attack on who??

Like a freight train, we are in Hitler’s Germany of the 1930’s, or worse. Obama has the potential to be history’s most notorious mass-murderer.

Internet...including cutting off communication with my family???

Gun up people. Every house should have a high caliber hand gun, shot gun, and .22 with plenty of ammo. The .22 is to be used as the through away weapon. When the Storm Troopers come to your house to confiscate weapons, hand over the .22. Hopefully, the ST’s will be stupid enough and walk away.

Slimey ba$tards!

Well, guys, it’s been nice knowing ya!

Back to writing letters, Pony Express, to get communication out!

We need a Second Revolution like, right now.

Something big, really big, is brewing, and the Democrats know they have only until November to pull it off. So they are cramming through as much communist legislation as they can.

If the backbone providers are shut down during one of Rahm Immanuel's fake crises, and the Web goes down, I fear there will be a shooting war ensuing.

[Vaduz]

Time to flush the senate.

Are the best targeting options from the bottom up (ambushing storm troopers, then leftist politicians, etc.) or from the top down (leadership first)?

[mkjessup]

I suspect these guys just might end up being our allies...

[FrankR]

[rawcatslyentist]

Have they been trial testing it on Sundays?

How long till FR is down this week?

[culpeper]

I think if the internet was turned off the effect on the economy would be catastrophic. Could create a great crisis for Rahm or whateverTF his name is.

[izzatzo]

If the zero gets his domestic police force, we will have the “storm troopers” to which you refer. And, with this Congress, it is distinctly possible he will-if it is done before November, God help us.
