WH Control of the Internet

[idb]

I'm guessing you didn't have nearly such a problem with warrantless wiretaps.

Used against American citizens talking within the Untied Staes you bet I have something against doing that.

One can only be puzzled by the silence on the part of our Left-wing friends, who were quick to protest the alleged loss of freedom and liberty due to the Patriot Act, signing statements and supposed extra-Constitutional machinations by President Bush…yet view the attempts by President Obama to marginalize Rush Limbaugh and Fox News, but fail to see the direction the administration is taking by creeping regulation of the Internet.

1. Net Neutrality is an issue that is both obscure and complicated, but you might think of it as legal framework for regulating the Internet in order to solve a problem that does not exist- of Internet Service Providers blocking legal online content and applications. The only significant support for it comes from left-wing groups that were originally funded by one set of corporations (content providers) to fight another set of corporations (Internet Service Providers).

2. And, if President Obama has pledged to uphold the laws of this nation, how can he direct his appointee to break the law? Which law? Well, in April 2010, a federal appeals court had struck down the panel’s first attempt to regulate the Internet. Comcast Wins in Case on FCC Net Neutrality Powers – BusinessWeek | raihan.us

a. “Scott, the Free Press policy director, said the decision leaves FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski “powerless to stop people from blocking Web sites, unless he acts to reassert his authority” by moving Internet service under telephone rules --a step Scott said could be taken with a simple majority vote at the Democrat-dominated agency.” Ibid. Be aware, ‘Free Press’ is a Soros-funded Marxist organization that works closely with President Obama’s administration.

b. So, even though the court specifically ruled that the FCC has no authority to regulate the Internet, Genachowski acted as though he had that authority anyway! Thug government in action!

3. FCC Commissioner Meredith Baker, who voted against the Internet power grab, said: “We have two branches of government—Congress and the courts—expressing grave concerns with our agency becoming increasingly unmoored from our statutory authority. By seeking to regulate the Internet now, we exceed the authority Congress has given us, and justify those concerns.” http://www.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2010/db1209/DOC-303457A1.pdf

4. “The FCC’s power grab serves as a reminder that even without a friendly Congress, President Obama still can and will enact more of his agenda, with varying degrees of destruction to Americans’ freedom and property.” Freddoso, “Gangster Government,” p. 191.

What an unbelieveably partisan and dishonest line your quotes are spinning on the Comcast decision!
Is it better that the ISPs have unfettered ability to regulate your access to the internet?
