Net Neutrality: Fairness Doctrine to Be Applied to Internet Net Neutrality: Fairness Doctrine to Be Applied to Internet Quote:
After moving to take control of just about every aspect of your life, the Obama-Pelosi regime is about to clamp-down on all conservative thoughts and expressions by applying the so-called Fairness Doctrine to the Internet.
A few days ago, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), under the leadership of Barack Obama's recently appointed Chairman, Julius Genachowski, voted to move forward on what is commonly and deceptively called "Net Neutrality."
Genachowski, incidentally, is the man who appointed Barack Obama's Diversity-Czar Mark Lloyd (need we say more).
In addition to the FCC action, Congress may be poised to move very soon on so-called "Net Neutrality" legislation proposed by far-left Congressman Ed Markey.
Markey's bill is deceptively called the Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2009, but a more accurate title would be the Government Internet Control Act of 2009.
If you believe Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and radical leftists in Congress, such drastic action in Congress and on the part of the FCC is urgently needed to keep the Internet "open" and "free."
Don't believe it for one second.
Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn recently called "Net Neutrality," "the fairness doctrine for the Internet."
Blackburn added that those who post content on the Internet "do not want is the federal government policing how they deploy their content over the Internet" and moreover, those who post content on the Internet do not want or need a "czar of the Internet to determine when they can deploy their creativity over the Internet."
FOX News' Glenn Beck went further and actually called Net Neutrality a "Marxist" plot to "control content."
Make no mistake, so-called "Net Neutrality" represents such a clear and present threat to your ability to speak freely on the Internet that even Senator John McCain stepped up to the plate and proposed legislation within hours of the FCC's announcement to specifically prohibit the Obama-FCC from forcing this draconian violation of the First Amendment on the American people.
Are you wondering why Blackburn and McCain and Beck so concerned? Are you, like many people, not clear on the whole topic of "Net Neutrality?"
If you want to know what "Net Neutrality" is all about and the dire consequences it poses to the American way of life, then read on.
