Ha… aren’t both Bush and Obama noted for their big ears?

“The hysteria over FCC control is reminiscent to the BP debacle. Much ado about nothing. BTW, what ever happened to the short lived attention span on that absolutely horrendous environmental disaster?”

It is much ado about nothing, but the audacity of it, like so many other things, gets to me. As for the “short lived attention span”, what happened to it was extreme doom mongering, which is unfortunate because there are and will continue to be real problems. Case in point, I don’t think absolutely horrendous would be the words for it, as environmental disaster is adequate. The lies and illusions of peak oil have been far more damaging and has cost more lives than we’re going to see out of the Gulf.

“Logic would dictate that a news agency that is not beholding to its parent companies best interest would have a broader open mind.”

Again, so what if they are? Might as well get used to a genuinely liberal society because that is the solution. The fact that we have biased anything is going to be an eternal fact of life, as there is nothing to be done for it.

The only possible context that net neutrality has is in regard to government websites hosted on private servers (if there is or would be such a thing). Access to government information should not be blocked, nor any content be altered by a private company, nor should the government silence anything hosted by an ISP that is not an official government site.

As for access for the poor, no, that doesn’t fall within the rules described above. The government is under no more obligation to provide an internet for _anyone_ any more than it is obligated to provided everyone a newspaper in order to fulfill freedom of the press. Want a newspaper, you buy a newspaper. Want an internet, you buy the access. Besides, land ownership is ones right to vote, not mere citizenship. However, government best encourages ownership of land, access to newspapers, internet etc… by staying out of the market and just doing it’s job as put to word in the Constitution. The system of government given to us by the founders is truly a rich and wonderful thing. Too bad we don’t live by it, and that’s what gets to me. For all that this is much ado about nothing, it still ignores so much else, and serves only to remind that government still thinks it’s job is in ordering us around, rather than protecting our rights and borders.

You might well be describing the ugly anti-semitic demagoguery of Obama’s estranged former spiritual leader, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

The guy inherited a mess and is blamed as if his incompetence or mad desires caused all this.

As for PBS, I will rather watch Bill Moyer’s interviews and specials then anything most privately held news companies say. Logic would dictate that a news agency that is not beholding to its parent companies best interest would have a broader open mind. At the very least it would be his own bias, and not a made up one to fit the parent companies views. FOX anyone.

The hysteria over FCC control is reminiscent to the BP debacle. Much ado about nothing. BTW, what ever happened to the short lived attention span on that absolutely horrendous environmental disaster? It’s like a reality show where complacency has replaced empathy.

The art of the office is in the ability to use every facet of political skill to balance competing interests against what actually needs doing. It’s difficult in the best of times. These, you may note, are not nor have they been for a decade.

Hitler was a thug that promoted hate. Ironically, behaving much like what many angry tea-baggers do in the street. Lashing out at a supposed phantom, biblical evil, abandoning reason and decency.

I find no sense of hatred in Barack Hussein Obama, nor the ugly demagoguery of his most vehement detractors.

Adolf Hitler started out as a National Socialist backed by big corps…

Wow. I couldn’t read all of that without moving my lips.

Pre-programmed-paranoia, indeed. Here’s looking forward to the third way.

Not if we follow the lead of Utah, passed a law to use eminent domain to retake land that was stolen by the feds, and of Arizona where the speed cameras were taken down recently because the good people refused to pay the fines.

These are our leaders!
