"Believe it or not, Obama wants to fully regulate the internet – EVERYTHING right down to content!. Yes you read it correctly. He wants to create the effective Department of the Internet under the FCC. On Monday, Obama called on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that regulates TV and Radio, to reclassify the Internet as a public utility.
Obama is now using his EXECUTIVE POWERS to seize control of the internet. This is not a democratic action voted on by the people or even their pretend representatives. No bill was drafted and introduced in the House or Senate. This is Obama using dictatorial powers that are undemocratic by their nature. This is simply a presidential decree and the majority of people are too socialist to even understand what is taking place here. They just believe whatever government does is for our good.
There have been no gatekeepers deciding which sites you get to access. There are no toll roads on the information superhighway. This set of principles, the idea of net neutrality, has unleashed the power of the Internet and given innovators the chance to thrive. Communism collapsed BECAUSE of central planning. Abandoning these principles would threaten to end the Internet as we know it. What government program has EVER worked? Social Security is the classic example. There are fools who are so naive it is shocking cheering Obama from the sidelines. Some of these people praise this regulation and cannot see plainly the government NEVER acts for the benefit of the people – it is always only their own self-interest and they lie about EVERYTHING.
Good sources state clearly that this will be a very dangerous step toward both taxation and censorship. The FCC function is to REGULATE radio and TV. They have to apply to the FCC for licenses. Why anyone would imagine that the FCC will regulate with no attached costs is beyond belief. Obama is one nasty communist and he has supported the NSA 150%. What makes you think this is a good thing is beyond belief. Obama already passed a law that if your site violates the copyright of someone else, it can be seized by the Feds and shut-down. The FCC will be the enforcer in that role as well. But laws are enforced ONLY on a discretionary basis. Let someone violate your civil rights and it is entirely the Department of Justice that decides if they want to prosecute. They NEVER prosecute their own unless they go against government like Snowden."

I'm sorry, but I can't take that article seriously. It's full of words that are bolded, capitalized and at larger font size from the rest of the article. A serious article isn't typeset like a comic book with random words emphasised for no other reason than effect. I knew there'd be people who would argue against it and shine it as Obama been the devil again and so forth but I don't agree with it. To top it off they have a picture comparison of Obama and Hitler. Seriously? Comparing anyone you don't like to Hitler doesn't strengthen your side, it only makes you come off as highschooler arguing a point.

"Outrun this!"
So, wait. What exactly is the Federal Communications Commission? Because whatever Obama is preaching, it's specifically targeted at the FCC, not the general public. So what he's proclaiming won't be applied to the public, right?
