Watching the FCC

They haven’t passed the Net Neutrality regulations, phase one of the push for Single Payer Internet, but the FCC is already plotting phase two: a National Broadband Plan. Call it what you will: a socialist Five Year Plan, fascist-inspired industrial policy, what have you. It’s a frightening step by this administration.

It’s so frightening, in fact, that Senate Democrats think the FCC needs to be more plain spoken about their plans, currently being hidden in overly-fancy language. It’s not impossible to speak about Internet policy in plain language. It’s just not possible to plan fascist takeovers of industries in plain language without scaring voters, is all. Which is why they don’t do it.

Meanwhile, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel refutes Net Neutrality proponents who claim that the practices NN is meant to oppose, are not theoretical:

Net-neutrality advocates raise the specter of providers censoring websites by slowing or cutting off access to them in the absence of new rules. Yet they cite only three isolated instances of this in the past five years. Each was quickly resolved.

Once again, we get more evidence that Net Neutrality is really just the crisis that progressives are using to grow government. We have to stop them.

    It is amazing what the Democrats can do just by ignoring legislative rules and packing regulatory boards, isn’t it Neil?

    One of the things that has hurt liberals in the past few months is the amount of and ease of access to information on the internet, and as anyone with the smallest knowledge knows once is it on the web it is forever on the web. Youtube has been one of the greatest weapons given to conseritives this century, once you say it and it is on the web, we the people can now prove that you said it, in HD video. The crisis for liberals right not is not pedophiles or con-artists on the web, its the information about what they are trying to do that can no longer be hidden or barried on the last page of the news section. This is a obvious attempt to censor/filter the information that is avalible to the public. The internet provied a huge spot light beam, this is an attempt by the administration and liberals to make sure that that light doesn’t shine on them and only brings to light what they wish to be seen.
