The FCC's War On Freedom
From Tim Andrews on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 1:53 PM
For quite some time, Americans for Tax Reform has repeatedly raised concerns about the disturbing trend in the current administration to stifle free speech.
These fears are echoed today in a short article written by Scott Cleland, Chairman of NetCompetition.org. Mr. Cleland states that:
“The FCC is effectively declaring “open season” on well-established Internet freedoms. It is perversely providing legitimacy, justification and political cover forundemocratic countries like China and Iran to hunt down dissidents online and censor free speechwhile using the Orwellian doublespeak of regulating to “preserve an open Internet.” Undemocratic regimes are always looking for “openings” and excuses to further crack down on their people’s freedom of speech and assembly. Surely, the FCC must appreciate that internationally, actions speak louder than words.”
He – justifiably – concludes that the United States risks losing all the online freedoms it has achieved if this radical policy is passed, and will give succor to undemocratic totalitarian regimes worldwide. All to satisfy the hard-left command-and-control ideology of some diehards in the Administration.

You are all still missing the point, I swear this is the last time I am going to write, (I know I have said that on every post you make about net neutrality, but this time I am totally cereal). We need net neutrality because without it Comcast might make a deal with LolCatz and then they will only allow me to be able to visit LolCatz. They are funny and all, but how will I live without being able to visit 4chan, check my myspace, and download pirated movies on bit torrent? I know I COULD get a another provider or even get a 3G card from a cell phone company, but Comcast has a natural monopoly on Comcast internet service in my area and the government needs to regulate it before we are all stuck with LolCatz.

How can something so intrusive be a "good" and "needed" thing? If the government has the ability to control the internet, to the extent that they can decide what sites can even exist?? This is crazy; and what I find so ridiculous is that the liberals who spent years criticizing the previous administration for infirnging on freedom of speech, is now virtually silent on this issue... stunning.

Has anyone ever "cooked" a live frog? A live frog will jump right out of a pot of boiling water and never feel a thing. To do this, put the frog in lukewarm water where he feels at home. He'll lay there feeling good. As the heat rises, he’s still happy. Soon, Mr. Frog gets weak from the warmer water. Shortly after this, Mr. Frog becomes extremely passive and will lose all consciousness as he cooks away in his now steaming little bath of boiling water. You lose your freedoms just like the frog loses his life: one damn step at a time. Wake up America! We were founded on vocalized principles! Ensure your vocal opinion continues and let the debate continue. When the time comes, get your ass off the couch and vote!!!
