Comrades,

There is good news out of the great socialist country of Venezuela. Hugo Chavez will have better control over the internet in his country now that he can rule for 18 months by decree.

A power that some on the left wish Papa Obama could have to help deal with our nations' ills. (see Woody Allen)

Of course who does Chavez think he is? Trying to advance his country even more than our own!

Not to be outdone, FCC is set to approve on Tuesday Chairman Julius Genachowski's proposed rules governing net neutrality.


Granted, the courts have rule against the FCC in doing such things; but the Left can not let such things as rulings by racist right wing courts stand in their way.

There is just too much of "Hope and Change" to go

Will internet redistribution give us all dial up connections?

We can only hope.

Not doubt there must be some new tax, so oppressed others can have free internet
It is their right!

Sort of like the internet tax on phone bills

So much for the alarm. I will not fear needing a new service plan for my I Phone or a plug to charge it at the homeless shelter. All this Hope and Change is everything I hoped it would be.

Yes indeed, it has worked for some

Here is the lovely and gracious Michelle doing her part for the poor at a soup kitchen while one of the most needy take her picture with a cell phone

Hope and Change does work !

Comrade Neotrotsky - from where are you for getting such nice car? I have always been for wanting of car like such.

Now for little joke a la Comrade Whoopie.

The most fastest way for sending and receiving the information is not with internet or telephone or even the television but by most reliable source of tell a womyn.

Mrs.Al Czarweary,
You might want this People's vehicle for the driving in. It's very easy to find in parkings lots and does not reek of capitalism like the 1950 Cadillac.

Mrs. Al, your joke has me chuckling in my trousers. Yes indeed, tell a woman. You can always tell a woman, you just can't tell her much.

We must go back to dial up connections. The FCC regulates telephone lines but not cable networks.And to hell with those 56k modems that took forever to connect. A 300 baud modem was good enough for me back when Al Gore first invented the internet. Why back then you couldn't even make up your own email address. Compuserve would assign you a 8 digit number. I think I even remember my old address: 50376,[email protected]

You'd just dial a phone number and then stick the handset on this snazzy modem box and poof, you were whizzin' along on the information super highway. No spam either.

The FCC has a master plan to revert to state of the art communications for 1952.

Small screen black and white tv using rabbit ears will do very nicely. Sets will be available through non profit stores. These stores will be exempt from the minimum wage to hold costs at lower levels.
No costs, no frills, lower electricity. No comparison shopping, your get what your given, no refund or exchange. Once you leave the store, you are totally responsible for everything, whether the set is plugged in or not.

Comrade,

while this joke is most funny, it is sexist by our progressive standards.
However, you being a women and one of the protected groups, I am unable to denounce
you. I am conflicted.


I dare say- You are a progressive tease

Comrade

I do agree that the 1950 car reeks of capitalism.

However, if we picture ourselves driving these same cars today then we would
be more like Cuba and even closer to our progressive utopia

Who can deny that NetNeutrality will yield Co-Equalism? --Fearless Leader

Actually, my Diversity Czar, Mark Lloyd at the FCC illustrates the Progressive Steps to Neutrality best of all:

There's a lot more than meets the eye with the FCC ACT TO PRESERVE INTERNET FREEDOM AND OPENNESS. This has more to do with complete unlimited power than anything else.

To understand what they're doing you must read the dissenting opinions of the two reactionaries that dissented:

STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER ROBERT M. McDOWELL wrote:The Order's expansive grasp for jurisdictional power here is likely to alarm any reviewing court because the effort appears to have no limiting principle.16 If we were to accept the Order's argument, “it would virtually free the Commission from its congressional tether.”17 “As the [Supreme] Court explained in Midwest Video II, ‘without reference to the provisions of the Act' expressly granting regulatory authority, ‘the Commission's [ancillary] jurisdiction ... would be unbounded.'”18 I am relieved, however, that in the Order, the Commission is explicitly refraining from regulating coffee shops.19

In short, if this Order stands, there is no end in sight to the Commission's powers.

That is what this about. It is precedent for even bigger and better things. The issue is never the issue.
