I cannot believe the flat out ignorance of so very many folks on how the government of the U.S.A. is supposed to work. But before we get started on *that*, let's look at this:
"All you really have to know about Net Neutrality is that its biggest promoters are George Soros and Google."
To begin with, the article linked is at www.dailykos.com, which is run by Markos Moulitsas. He is American born of a Salvadoran (a country with long standing socialist influences) mother and a Greek (more socialism) father, and grew up both in El Salvador and Chicago. Now I am from Indiana, not all that far from Chicago and know that a Republican in Chicago is regarded a Liberal in Indiana. He backed, and campaigned for Liberal Democrats throughout. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markos_Moulitsas]. He is a Leftist, and his web site reflects that.
The DailyKos article links to an article at thinkprogress.org, from which google tells us that Soros funds Thinkprogress and following the money, behind Net Neutrality, just as Rush alleged. And for that matter, reading the entire list of inter-networked organizations covered at http://discoverthenetworks.org/ finds George Soros deeply involved in funding a vast network of anti USA, anti-freedom, anti-capitalism, anti-Business organizations of the progressive Left. That includes the attack on the Chamber of Commerce.
George Soros, a statist Socialist who wants to control the world, is behind “Net Neutrality” [link here]
All of these individuals and organizations are committed Socialists and Progressives. The problem with that here is the USA, is that it is the diametric opposite of the US Constitution, Liberty, Capitalism (which is just people saving their money and investing it), and all else this country stands for.
It is nothing new that Socialism has been infiltrating the USA for over 100 years. And it is nothing new that Socialism has never, ever, not one time, worked for an extended period of time. It seems to work, until it runs out of other peoples money. It will then die as it has always in the past, and with a fair share of suffering and violence as the throes of death proceed.
In short, Net Neutrality, especially done by the FCC, is un-Constitutional
The problem of the FCC “regulating” the internet is that they have NO governmental right to do so.
They were denied that right previously in court.
They were denied that right by Congress regardless of how many times it was tried.
Briefy, the Executive branch (President, and *his* FCC) cannot make law. Congress makes law, which when passed must be approved by the President. And that can be revoked in the Courts. The case here is that the President through the FCC is making law.
Obama, long before he was elected President, Obama lamented that the "Constitution is a charter of negative liberties".
[audio]. The problem here is that the Constitution in every point, limits government and gives it NO right to do anything TO its citizens. That was done by design of the Founders.
Obama laments that because he wants to impose Socialism and wealth re-distribution. These two, Socialism and the US Constitution, are incompatible.
I also cannot understand why people here cannot understand business. I am a business owner in that I have a 401K, and it invests in business. Hence most of my retirement is based on business dooing well.
Yet so many here do not seem to like business or understand it, and would destroy the investments and retirements of millions of ordinary average citizens in their quest to take wealth from the so called rich.
For what it is worth, I'd fire about 100% of the Democrats, and somewhere above 75% of the Republicans. That might get rid of most of them that do NOT understand the Constitution at all.
