Democrats demand the right to regulate internet speech

Fascists: The Democrats on the Federal Election Commission on Friday called for the heavy regulation of speech on the internet.

In a surprise move late Friday, a key Democrat on the Federal Election Commission called for burdensome new rules on Internet-based campaigning, prompting the Republican chairman to warn that the Left wants to regulate conservative political sites and even news outlets like the Drudge Report.

Democratic FEC Vice Chair Ann M. Ravel announced plans to begin the process to win regulations on Internet-based campaigns and videos, currently free from most of the FEC’s rules. “A reexamination of the commission’s approach to the internet and other emerging technologies is long over due,” she said.

And if you vote for these thugs, you identify yourself as someone supporting fascism.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Reminds me of thousands of Red Chinese trolls whose job is to police the Internet and stiffle anything objectionable to the Communist masters.

    I can top that insanity with the apex in liberal / socialist counter think and conclusion:

    And you thought self hating Jews were counter intuitive, the Danes are apparently brain dead.

    Of course they have to regulate the Internet because clicking another link or typing a URL to content more to your liking is just too darn hard. The crux of the problem is that they just can’take stand that someone else has the freedom to put up content or view content of their choosing on a truly infinite medium. In a medium where bandwidth puts physical limits on who and how much information can be exchanged, perhaps some regulation on makes sense. But the Internet is truly free of such limitations. Got something to say or share? Put it on the Internet. Regulating content in the proposed manner just doesn’the make sense, except of course, to a fascist.
