Unnecessarily autocratic, comrade

Let's be honest and direct about this. See the story below:

President seeks broad new powers over internet

Majority of Americans believe the government is an imminent threat to their rights Ya think?

This is essentially the same law they wanted a few months ago. Combined with "net neutrality," this would give Dear Leader and the federal government complete control to run the internet and everything on it at their discretion. The standard would be that, in the president's judgment, the government needs to take control. It would be effective immediately, and they would then have the authority to shut down anyone, and to monitor and/or edit all content. It is explained as "only in emergencies," but the actual language says really anytime the president thinks it's necessary. Even if it was only when he deemed it an emergency, remember, he called a national emergency because of swine flu. Swine flu. The kids and I had it; it was inconvenient for five days, but not a national emergency.

This is China-like absolute control of the internet, frilly words and justifications aside. There would be no legal controls on it, and no firm laws or rules around how they would wield their power. Of course China uses the power to get rid of all dissent, monitor dissidents, shut down the internet after the government does something provocative, etc. It would simply be at their discretion. the discretion of people like Obama, Cass Sunstein (Regulatory Czar), and Mark Lloyd (FCC Diversity Czar, spearheading the takeover of the internet and cell phone service).

The last two have been very clear and open about being rabidly Maoist communist, rabidly anti-capitalist, and desirous of having control over whether people can have children, what they can do inside their homes, etc. Mark Lloyd stated in a press conference that he "is not interested in free speech," and seeks to "eradicate capitalist whoring." Research it if you have any question about whether it's true. Look up their statements about net neutrality and the purpose of it, and watch video clips of them. Giving them complete control of the most democratic of technologies is a nightmare. Read the laws proposed. For a second you'll think, "Those soviets sure are crazy...wait, this is law proposed for America!"
