That must be why our "representatives" are so happy to see the people coming out to ask them questions, eh?

I think it's so funny how people speak about civil liberties as if they exist. You are only free because you haven't pissed anyone with power off yet..cross that line and your either in prison for the remainder of your life, dead or at least to scared to ever speak your mind again. Civil liberties..what a f**king joke.

The government is trying to work their way into ALL facets of out daily lives...doing all they can to gain as much control over us as possible. I think personally that it's Obamas' hidden agenda "become the most powerful black guy in history"

Ironically enough the good guys over at savetheinternet.com have videos with Obama talking about keeping the internet free. Apparently for him it means free unless he wants to SHUT IT DOWN! There's real danger here. Are we asleep or awake? We just watched Ahmadinejad take control of communications in Iran. Who's playbook is being used here?

Unfortunately, Obama supporters will attack, with gnashing teeth, anyone they perceive as against their 'savior' or his policies.

QUOTE: The only surprising thing is that it has taken the Government this long to move against the last bastion of free and anonymous speech in the World.Actually, the UN has been attempting to take control of the internet (and other forms of media) for a long time. The UN has attempted to control information dating back from well before the internet was even invented. In the early 1980’s prior to wide spread use of the internet, attempts by UN officials would have made it a requirement to have all reporters licensed, their stories vetted, and newspapers registered. Control of the internet would not only give the United Nations administration control, but actual ownership of the root servers that are essentially the infrastructure of the internet.Their real goal of course, is money. With the internet they can finally impose their own global “taxes” rather than relying on handouts from member countries. References: Ashling, J. (2005, September).

QUOTE: Having power over the internet is like trying to own a piece of the ocean a mile down, and spanning a constrained portion... It flows, and nobody owns it.No, not exactly… The internet of today is basically a massive network made up from 13 root servers, which control the vast amount of information held in accounts all over the world. These servers belong to different organizations so that “No one company or agency controls all 13 root servers. The U.S. Department of Defense has one, for instance, while some are run by universities” (Guadin, 2007). Other major controllers of the internet are such organizations as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

By all means, continue pushing moderates and independents away from your camp. They don't belong there anyway.
