Democrats Likely to Pass New Internet Regulations Next Week

The statists will not be satisfied until they control every aspect of your life, from the food you eat, to the kind of car you drive, to the temperature of your home, to demanding that you purchase health insurance.
Next week, FCC democrats are likely to pass new internet regulations.
Reuters reported:
Contentious Internet traffic rules facing a vote next week are likely to be adopted without radically veering from a proposal unveiled earlier in the month, telecommunications policy analysts said on Wednesday.
The Federal Communications Commission will vote on Dec. 21 on whether to adopt regulations that ban the blocking of lawful traffic but allow Internet service providers to ration Web traffic on their networks.
The proposal laid out two weeks ago by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski was met with concern from the other members of the FCC, putting in question the likelihood of winning over a majority of the five-member FCC.
The two Republican commissioners have objected to FCC action on Internet rules, saying the Internet is best able to thrive in the absence of regulation. And Genachowski’s two fellow Democrats on the panel could withhold support from any measure they view as too weak.
But analysts said commissioners Mignon Clyburn and Michael Copps, the Democrats on the panel, are more likely to consider it in the majority’s interest to move ahead with so-called net neutrality rules.

The lame duck democrats have proven to America that they hate our nation and think they rule and not the voters. Is it time to forcibly drag them out of DC and demand the people’s house be vacated by enemies of this nation??The democrat party is the single largest threat to America’s well being and our national security.
AuntieMadder commented:
PaleRyder, if they hadn’t already proven over the last two years that they don’t care what the voters think or want, they certainly have proven it during this lame duck session, as you’ve already pointed out.

Let’s put them on trial in 2013.
9th Amendment – “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
10th Amendment – “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

I’m so depressed about this lame duck session that I feel like giving up.
The Commies taking over the Internet, radio, cable TV, will be no surprise.
The Omnibus bill – a $1.1 Trillion dollar bill – will include funding through September 2011 for Obamacare.
How can the GOP ever repeal Obamacare when it is funded?
I heard that the GOP will have to use the Commiecrats budget through 2011.
Those bastards in the Commiecrat party and the RINOs who will vote in lock step with them are the biggest threat to our nation than any outside enemy.
They are showing us that the Constitution is dead, the people don’t matter, the courts don’t matter, nothing matters but George Soros and Van Jones and the rest of the Communists that have successfully taken over our country.
Look for Amnesty, Card Check, Land Grabs, and all the rest of the stuff they want to be jammed down our throats.
FU*K OBAMA commented:
This power grab has already been ruled unconstitional in the courts but Imam Obama thinks he is above the law. However our country still is governed by the rule of law, although Imam Obama is trying to quickly centralize power and become our dictator. Another dictator in the 30′s did the samething in Germany, and we all know how that ended for their country.
We are living in very very troubling times with the National Socialists running the show.

What do you mean PASS? They are NOT an elected body with the legal authority to PASS legislation. The first order of business of the new congress must be to restore order and repeal the Democrap Obamination. Never thought I’d say this, but take it to the courts!

Murder by Communism by any other name..
[How can we understand all this killing by communists? It is the marriage of an absolutist ideology with the absolute power. Communists believed that they knew the truth, absolutely. They believed that they knew through Marxism what would bring about the greatest human welfare and happiness. And they believed that power, the dictatorship of the proletariat, must be used to tear down the old feudal or capitalist order and rebuild society and culture to realize this utopia. Nothing must stand in the way of its achievement. Government--the Communist Party--was thus above any law. All institutions, cultural norms, traditions, and sentiments were expendable. And the people were as though lumber and bricks, to be used in building the new world.
[..]
But communists could not be wrong. After all, their knowledge was scientific, based on historical materialism, an understanding of the dialectical process in nature and human society, and a materialist (and thus realistic) view of nature. Marx has shown empirically where society has been and why, and he and his interpreters proved that it was destined for a communist end. No one could prevent this, but only stand in the way and delay it at the cost of more human misery. Those who disagreed with this world view and even with some of the proper interpretations of Marx and Lenin were, without a scintilla of doubt, wrong. After all, did not Marx or Lenin or Stalin or Mao say that. . . . In other words, communism was like a fanatical religion. It had its revealed text and chief interpreters. It had its priests and their ritualistic prose with all the answers. It had a heaven, and the proper behavior to reach it. It had its appeal to faith. And it had its crusade against nonbelievers.
What made this secular religion so utterly lethal was its seizure of all the state’s instrument of force and coercion and their immediate use to destroy or control all independent sources of power, such as the church, the professions, private businesses, schools, and, of course, the family.]

Now more than ever we need to keep the pressure on the new congress next year to cut funding for everything these nitwits pass.

Th new congress which will have McShame, Ms Lindsey, the 2 hags’oMaine, Scotty B and the Murcow , right ? Somehow I don’t see anything anti-communist coming out of the next congress . Maybe I’m a pessimist but I think no DC critter feels an obligation to be pro-America anymore.
bigkahuna commented:
Where is an earthquake when you need one in DC.
These Bastages are sick and power grabbing maniacs. They need an ass whoopin and I dont mean at the ballet box.
I hope the somewhat moderate democrats and independents see and remeber this garabge at election time and crucify them so we can gain the Whitehouse and sensate and repeal and tear apart every damn thing these vermin have passed and then defund every freaking liberal institution possible. Massive cuts need to be made to the fed govt.
gus commented:
They cannot be dealt with. They aren’t honest. The only thing they understand is brute power.
AuntieMadder commented:
“Massive cuts need to be made to the fed govt.”
Amen to that. Power to legislate, or power to rule, needs to be revoked from the departments, commissions, administrations and such, that never should have been granted that kind of power to start with. I’m talking about the FCC, of course, and the EPA, for another. There are many more, but those two happen to be on my mind at the moment.
One more thing that needs to be done is the total dismantling and dissolving of some federal depts, the Dept of Education, in particular. Leave education to the states and if it turns out that some states educate their kids better than others, well, then, move that state if that’s important to you or get involved in the education system in your state and kick their butts into doing it better. Just keep education local so that kids can start being taught what’s useful and what’s true instead of the pro-socialist brainwashing that’s being passed off as an education nowadays.
Anthony commented:
Can someone explain to me what this vote means? The FCC does not have the authority to regulate the internet, so WHY ARE THEY REGULATING THE INTERNET? Or rather, HOW?
bigL commented:
I thinkthe FCC regulates the internet because they can and they threaten the parties involved to comply. The newbies ,ala will not do much Ithink. they will want to “eat lunch again in that town”D.C. or their spouses will. and, too, they look fwd to their start time at the course.
There is no way to get Obama to leave. He is our Somoza, our Castro, our Trujillo.
Jean commented:
Don’t underestimate the Tea Party because they have tremendous influence on this new congress and they made a difference on Nov 2.
gus commented:
Jean, what Congress is doing may or may not be reversible. But more to the point, these immoral STATIST/MARXIST/SOCIALIST FREAKS are ……………SCUTTLING the Country while they are still in power. This has never been done before. EVER. No Congress or Administration in AMERICAN HISTORY has EVER…..used such a DISRESPECTUFUL F@#K-YOU tactic or such a SCORCHED EARTH policy. This is WRONG. Those doing it KNOW IT’S WRONG.
Electing OBAMA unleashed the most BASE INSTINCTS of LIBTARDS. They SH!T on THEMSELVES, because they couldn’t help it. THEY HAD POWER. And they DID NOT HAVE MATURITY/REASON or INTELLIGENCE.
They are unable to comport themselves to civil/rational/ or reasonable behavior. They RATIONALIZE all of their DYSFUNCTIONAL BEHAVIORS.
NEVER EVER EVER EVER TRUST nor COMPROMISE WITH A LIBTARD.

what happens if they make regulations and nobody abides by them?
tommy mc donnell commented:
i meant to add this: sovereignty, the right to govern can only legitimately be secured from the consent of the governed. this government does not have the consent of the governed. it is an illegitimate government.
Theadora commented:
#18 Tommy, I say that all the time. Let them make all the rules and regulations they want in Washington and let’s just ignore them.
This can only work if millions join this civil disobedience. One or two people disobeying the law will land in jail.
Let’s hope the idea spreads.

Then we better start hammering the new Congress to repeal all this crap. Or we can just sit here and bitch about it.

Or we can do both. I vote for doing both.
Andreas K. commented:
ISPs can already ration the traffic on their networks. That is always applied on contracts that have no flat-rate. Around here that’s usually done with mobile internet, where you have a certain amount of data per month allocated for you, if you go above it, they throttle your speed. That is pretty normal. And I love my flat-rate.
I’m sure US ISPs have similar things, depending on the contract. So that whole thing is BS.
The internet should be free ground.
You know what this reminds me of?
Back in the Old West, there was this thing called free grazing. Then people started to set up fences, etc. Approved by the government. That allowed cattle barons to become more powerful and, of course, I’m pretty sure that the politicians pushing for it didn’t walk away with empty hands either.
The resistance that may be brought up with such moves will be more than the FCC can handle. You don’t want to piss off the smart guys on the web. Oh no you don’t. They can take down the FCC’s systems. I’m not kidding. I’m not talking about crap like in movies like “Hackers”, forget that. But there is an ongoing war out there on a scale Dems or the FCC can’t even remotely imagine. The FCC should be careful. The moment the “other folks” have set their sights on them, they’re screwed, because I seriously doubt that the FCC’s security can match with anything a private company has (remember, FCC, that’s government issue.)
I worked in IT for a long time and we had to fight constant battles with these “other folks”.

It is time to use the correct name for these people… Marxist/ communist…. the democratic party has been consumed by them, call them what they ARE!

The mad push for government control in this lame duck session makes me physically ill. Mignon Clyburn–gee isn’t she the daughter of the illustrious James Clyburn? Pelosi’s “boy”?? The corruption is generational with the Democrats.

I hate it, but you know what? My website’s traffic is so pathetic that it maybe it will help it.

If only Rush would mention exposethemedia.com once, maybe I could get some people there.
tj commented:
The FCC group has defined the main difference between a democracy and a republic. In a democracy the majority rules; in a republic the minority is protected. This is why many of our founding fathers considered a democracy the most evil form of government.
