The Bible foretells of a time when men would be unable to speak truth because corrupt laws. Similar to what George Orwell wrote about in his book, "1984", the verses presuppose a day in which the government closely monitored everyone's words looking for offense.
Today we call this "political correctness", "fairness", or the Marxist "party line". Socialists have dominated the political agenda recently by controlling the language. By claiming that everyone is the victim of some form of micro-aggression (except those who disagree with them of course) the liberals have created a social movement that canonizes their agenda and pushes all of their specific ideological elements.
The Marxist-Leninist concept of democratic centralism involves strict adherence to, and defense of, a communist party's positions in public, while in inner-party debate sessions, the line can be questioned, criticized, and changed if necessary.
Welcome to America 2015.
One of the top ten things a Conservative president needs to address in January of 2017.
It will absolutely be used to attack websites on the basis of content, and it will happen almost immediately.
Why is Drudge the example?
All he does is put up links.
Let’s just turn the other cheek and sit on our butts and watch american Idol and Dansing with the starts. We like home and gardn tv and the fixer upper shows. But we don’t want to fight for our constitution— that would be raysess.
If they do will there be “Drudge Riots” or will the FCC get away with it?
And to think the corporate GOPE is “working with the Democrats to “get thing done.” I don’t hear them say just exactly what they are doing that is getting done, Have you heard? My guess is they are getting corporate capitalism in return for helping the Dems get control. They should not be rewarded any further. Until the border is controlled and the corporate media stops smearing us I am against giving corporations and the rich anything. In fact I think they ought to pay more in taxes. That is a huge change by me.
George Orwell was a prophet.
Yes, controlling the language, and the right’s concession to it, has allowed the left to cut off debate by either re-defining the terms (”gay”, “queer”), or banning them (the term “thug”, used to describe those who engage in thuggish behavior such as looting). When the words have been re-defined or banned, there’s no language with which to debate. The right has played right into their hands with the “Me Too” strategy.
Tell me again how “net neutrality” couldn’t possibly be used to block political content?
This FCC Commissioner must just be delusional and paranoid, right?
“Federal Communications Commission (FCC) member Ajit Pai said over the weekend that he foresees a future in which federal regulators will seek to regulate websites based on political content . . . “
They best be well-armed
PSSSHAAA, no one saw that coming /s. Welcome to my nightmare. Stalinist purges with a high tech twist. Orwell didn’t have a vivid enough imagination to dream up what’s really going to happen.
