I agree with you bob, as was stated before on A little more to the right, internet access isn't even essential to live, and yet the whiny communist demoncrats call deregulation a 'vast right wing conspiracy'. What regulation boils down to is nothing more than communism.
If someone doesn't like what the phone company is doing, then they should simply go with a cell phone and cable broadband, or just simply install the cables themselves. Verizon, SBC, et al own the copper & fiber optic cables that make up the phone system, so if they don't want their customers to have DSL without phone service, then it's their God given right to do so. Hell, they don't even have to share their system with any CLEC. Then again, demoncrats prefer to bitch, moan, whine, and cry about a 'vast right wing conspiracy' controlling everything.
Ah, spoken like a true demoncrat, since all they do is whine, cry, and commit treason. America will not try to control trafic from other nations, but then again it seems like the ones that hate America will spin the truth to whatever suits them or flat out lie to push their communist agenda.
"It does not violate the constitution. It does NOT prevent you form doing ANYTHING at all. It monitors people who are on suspicious websites or checking out suspicious books. Have you read the Patriot Act from start to finish? Most people haven't and really have no idea what it says.
The latest embarrassment is the revelation that the Department of Justice has not invoked the Patriot Act's Section 215 - a section of the act that the ACLU crowd claims has turned the FBI into a library-raiding Gestapo. What, in reality, is Section 215? It's a relatively innocuous provision of the Patriot Act that allows law enforcement to obtain, after getting approval from a judge, documents from third parties - your credit card company, for example - if they're pertinent to a terrorism investigation. (#) Not only has the government never used 215, but the section doesn't even mention libraries - or any of the other secular holy sites allegedly imperiled by it. At minimum, critics should stop talking about the Patriot Act's "trampling of rights" in the present tense. And lest they claim that they are being "vigilant" in the face of potential threats, someone should remind them that vigilance is fine, but lying and fear-mongering is crying wolf. The Section 215 bashing is just the latest in an ongoing campaign to make up a problem out of the Patriot Act that does not exist. I'm sure you've heard that the Patriot Act also permits, in the words of Nick Gillespie of Reason magazine, "spying on the Web browsers of people who are not even criminal suspects." Errr, wrong. The Patriot Act actually toughens the standards by which the government can snoop on electronic communications. Before the Patriot Act, there was no settled law on whether the government - or for that matter, some random stalker or Amazon.com - could acquire that kind of information. The Patriot Act made it a crime for the government or anybody else to pry into your e-mail without getting a court order. (#) Well, it's a good thing the Patriot Act requires the DOJ's inspector general to investigate civil rights complaints. The last report, issued over the summer, found that there were 34 "credible" allegations of abuse out of 1,037 claims made over a six-month period (note: that's allegations, not convictions). And most of these "credible" but unproven allegations involved such horrors as verbal harassment of prisoners by prison guards. That's not nice and it shouldn't happen, but it's hardly 1930s Germany. The complaints of lost civil rights go on. We hear about prisoners "kept in secret" when they're really not. Rather, the government won't release their names to the media - or to the terrorists who are keen to find out such information. However, the prisoners themselves - through their lawyers or families - are free to release their names. The ACLU says that the feds can secretly enter your home while you're out and rifle through your files, underwear drawer, whatever. Well, that's true, if the cops get a warrant first and notify you later. If that scares you, I'm sorry. But it's hardly something new.
We have been doing these things for years to catch the maufia and organized crime and people either didn't care or had no problem or were to ignorant to know. Now because it is Bush they whine like babies.
Now if you want to get into the FBI storming into libraries to demand patrons' reading lists. They can and already could do this before the patriot act. all the need to do is securing grand jury subpoenas, For terror cases, investigators must petition judges on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. "It's a much, much bigger hassle to do that than it is for a grand-jury investigator t
Ah, livertarians don't like anything to do with discipline. There would be chaos if there was no discipline. If the chaos get bad enough, then it would destroy America. That proves that livertarians are much like their demoncrat counterparts, both hate america. Now you calling Liberals and conservatives the same shows alot of ignorance. Of course, livertarians want to whine and cry about ev erything being unfair and having to live by the rules of society. Apparently the only things that demoncrats and livertarians want to do beyond whining is commit treason.;D
AH, another livertarian tooting his horn. The reason why there's any problems with the Public school system is because of the leftist demoncrats counterparts of yours have pretty much ruined it. Teachers are not allowed to punish the students, that would 'hurt their ego', and they have gone too PC, Voluntary prayer is not even allowed. If the true conservative Republicans had their way, the public school system would be a lot leaner, and there would be no unions so we can get rid of the teachers that don't want to work.
But, livertarians are too much like their demoncrat counterparts. The way I know is that each and every livertarian that was voted in voted with the demoncrats on all socialist programs.
Ah, just like any other demoncrat, if you can't debate, you troll. Internet Access is a luxury, not a necessity. Like I said before, the ILEC owns the copper & the fiber optic cables as well as the equipment & buildings, so they have every right to prevent any CLEC from using their property. Of course, demoncrats are nothing more than relabeled communists due to the fact that they believe "Private Property" shouldn't even exist.
As for 'Holier than thou', a fellow Republican has the perfect saying "You're know you're a liberal when "Separation of Church and State" is your mantra -- but you think legislating when and where Christians can worship and taxing churches are just fine and dandy."
Sounds to me like you communist demoncrats are the ones that are 'Holier than thou'.
Ah yes, another whiny communist demoncrat is complaining about yet another luxury not being available to everyone. If you don't have broadband available in your location, move to another location that does. Also, it's not Bush Sr, it's George H W Bush, the current president Bush is George W Bush. So how can he be "JR" if they both have differences in their names.
Then again, the ignorant demoncrats love bitch, whine, and cry about so called "right wing" conspiracies. The only thing that you demoncrats apparently do beyond that is commit treason.;D
Wow, the whiny Communist Demoncrats are at it again, this time crying about a luxury. Is Internet Access even essential to live? Verizon, SBC, et al own the copper & fiber optic cables that make up the phone system, so if they don't want their customers to have DSL without phone service, then it's their God given right to do so. Hell, they don't even have to share their system with any CLEC. If you don't like their decision, then simply don't go with them, get a Cell phone and cable broadband. Of course you shouldn't have to worry about the cable tv provider forcing you Demoncrats to have cable TV to use broadband, since you're all addicted to the reality crap that's on tv. Another option is for you to simply install the copper & fiber optic cables yourself.
Then again, Demoncrats prefer to bitch, moan, whine and cry about a vast Right Wing conspiracy controlling everything. The only action that you Demoncrats apparently do beyond that is commit Treason.;D

The study explains why the leftist demoncrats seem to be intellectually bankrupt as they go on solely on emotion rather sticking with facts.
