Just post anything close to a personal opinion on your website, a stray comment on a product for sale, and BLAM! You’re fired! No Internet for you!

Right down George Orwell lane. Question is, can we stop this in any way? Or reverse it later on, say, in 2010?

I am sick and tired of these jackbooted thugs parked at the top of our government. Can’t wait until we can overwhelm THEIR system.

That should make it a little easier to stop (in terms of votes needed).

I don’t think the libertarians told Bush to go Big Government or the Republican Party to put McCain against Obama. No, Republicans did that to themselves.

Until we squander it by laying it at the feet of elected leaders.;
The net belongs to all man. A place of all nationality and color to overcome the political interests of those in power, and without regard to whom they may be.
In this, we must unite as one, one man for all men, all men for one.
The future of the world rests in the hands of the common man.
United we stand.
In this, our worldwide voice and our forum of discussion, we cannot subject ourselves to the censorship of governments.
The only path to peace and prosperity throughout the world depends upon the honor, trust and free thinking men throughout the world, honorable both in our differences as in our commonalities.
On this issue, the most important single issue, we must stand together as one, aside of our personal interests, to defend our right and freedom to exchange between ourselves, independent of government, our true and honest views and opinions, and to be able to converse freely and openly upon them.
We no longer can trust this critical exchange to those who might at one time claim to represent us. For the time being, we can represent ourselves, this is unprecedented in history, where everyman can speak. And it may well be a very short lived chapter in history if we do not make our stand.
We must, as free and honorable men of the world over, stand shoulder to shoulder to oppose any infringement of our rights or abilities to converse as such.
This current attempt of governmental censorship of the right of one man to speak to another, in all honesty and freely, is the single greatest threat to a free world history has ever seen.
It must be stopped at any cost.
Sincerely,
Alaska Mark

They can’t do away with it completely because their own side uses and depends on it as much as we do but it’s clear this is hate.

To illustrate, yesterday or night before last after the NY23 results were in, a liberal made a claim that the district hasn’t been held by a Democrat since the 1870s. The claim was false, laughably false.

Had it not been for the internet, the claim would have stood and we would be clueless about the lie for weeks to come while someone fact-checked. How many other “facts” have we debunked over the years? How many more will we debunk?

Net neutrality would give them control to keep us clueless and quiescent (well, voiceless anyway). All their social engineering schemes will fall apart otherwise.
