FCC To Propose Net Neutrality Rules

wiredog writes "From The Washington Post comes news that the FCC is preparing to propose net neutrality rules on Monday. Quoting: '[FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski] will discuss the rules Monday during a keynote speech at The Brookings Institute. He isn't expected to drill into many details, but the proposal will specifically be for an additional guideline on how operators like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast can control what goes on their networks. That additional guideline would prevent the operators from discriminating, or act as gatekeepers, of Web content and services. ... The agency is expected to review what traffic management is reasonable and what practices are discriminatory. The guidelines are known as "principals" at the agency, which some public interest groups have sought to codify so that they would clearly be enforceable.'"

Yes, you would be correct. The Democrat party is all about silencing the opposition. In fact, it was only a few days ago that the House of Reps had formally banned what could and could not be said in the chambers.

Yes, I'm a "ditto head" for sure. But only because I love his radio show. Not because I agree 100% with what he says or what he believes. However, his radio show is factually more informative than what any other political pundit on radio has to offer.

What was embarrassing though was that I link to a page for members only. I do apologize though. I thought that link was available to the general public (non-subscribers).

Oops. Sorry.

The Democrat party is all about silencing the opposition.

Anyone who has paid any attention to politics in the past 9 years knows how ridiculous that statement is,

You mean the way that the Obama Administration prosecuted the members of the New Black Panther Party who were carrying weapons in front of a voting location and yelling racial slurs at whites who approached to vote (oversimplifying for brevity, if you are familiar with the case, you know what happened. If you aren't familiar with the case, why not?)? BTW for those who don't know, the Obama Administration dropped the charges when they were about to get a guilty verdict. If you aren't familiar with the case google "Black Panther voter intimidation" for the video.
If you aren't familiar with the Black Panther case, there is a good chance you also aren't familiar with why Van Jones was forced to resign or with why ACORN was dropped from working with the Census Bureau on the 2010 census (for ACORN google "ACORN video pimp")
