Net Neutrality another chance for government to **ck everything up

Well, well, well, The Empty Suit has come out in favor of “net neutrality.”  Net neutrality (NN) is a euphemism for government control of AlGore’s wonderful invention: the Internet.  The Orwellian term NN is as fraudulent as the as Orwell “Department of Peace.”  But we’re already half way there.  It used to be called what it was the War Department.  Now it’s the Defense Department.  What’s next?

TES wants the government to control the Internet like a public utility so that there is freedom of access to all.  Sounds good right?  Wrong!  Do you really want the crowd that rolled out Robertscare running the Internet?  Do you want the NSA teaming up with that bunch to track your every keystroke…no wait.   They are already doing that.  Do you want the IRS using the Internet to identify conservative blogs, tweeters and webpage readers so they can be singled out for a bit of extra scrutiny on their tax returns? 

The government has already spent a million of your hard earned Yankee dollars on a “study” called the Truthy Project.  "The project monitors ‘suspicious memes,’ ‘false and misleading ideas,’ and ‘hate speech,’ with a goal of one day being able to automatically detect false rumors on the social media platform.”  It turns out that the project was ONLY interested in conservative tweets.  It identified top conservative tweets under the hashtag TCOT (Top Conservatives on Twitter) and was successful in having many of the accounts suspended.  Yeah, these are the guys want insuring access to the Internet.

As James Madison once famously quipped, “**ck the government.”  Does anyone seriously want people like the creepy bastards at the VA who killed off their customers for a lousy couple of bucks running the Internet?  NN is a bad, bad, very bad idea.  But you probably already figured that out once it became known that NN would place the brain-dead, lying, thieving, totally corrupt Caligula D.C. azzclowns in charge of the Internet.

Seems to me things are working fine.  Let the market decide.  If Netflicks wants to pay extra for faster streaming, let them.  For now, things seem to be working fine.  NN is a solution in search of a problem.  As always the Lefty Lib solution isn't to make everyone’s access faster, it is to slow everyone down to the lowest common denominator.  I’m with James Madison on this.

And just for the record, JM didn't say “**ck the government.”  I used to have a gunny that would put words in framers mouths.  Like the first time I encountered the gunny's rhetorical device.  I was upset about a certain safety issue.  I was in a full on rant when the gunny casually notes, “You know sir, it’s like George Washington used to say.”  I thought there were actually going to be words of wisdom to follow so I bit...hard, “Oh yeah, what did George Washington have to say about this gunny?”  Instead of wisdom all I got was, “$h!t happens.”  It was perfect for the moment.  So on this Veteran’s Day God bless all the gunnys and all who serve and have served.
