all I need to know about Net Neutrality is who supports it and is overjoyed it passed.

FCC, Banning Bullets, Shutting Down the DHS, Discrimination, Being Prepared, and a bunch of other random stuff...
because my tabs are full.
FCC now has control of the internet. And exactly what are we going to do about it? Nothing. We have become cowed slaves, and the Republicans are not our friends.
Obama to ban bullets by executive action, threatens top-selling AR-15 rifle
Isn't this exactly what was predicted by many people? You can have all the guns you want, but you can't have any bullets.
In view of the two above items, you may want to read:
The Number One Reason Why Americans Will Not Fight Back Against The New World Order
Let's all suppose the DHS gets shut down tomorrow. Naturally, the Republicans will be blamed, and the libtards will howl. Now let's suppose there is a terrorist attack; not that the DHS has managed to stop any so far. I can hear it now, "The Republicans have blood on their hands." U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens is unavailable for comment.
In Oregon, Sweet Cakes owners Aaron and Melissa Klein have already closed their private business and are being victimized by some angry lesbians for not making them a "wedding" cake. source
And yet. And yet:
FedEx, a public company, refuses to ship a legal gun making related item essentially putting a small business owner out of business. How is that okay?
I believe that all discrimination laws are illegal and unnecessary when applied to a privately owned company. A business should be allowed to decide who they want to serve. Period. If a restaurant owner decides he doesn't want to serve Chinese people, and hangs a sign in his front window barring them entrance, well, so be it. Market forces will apply quickly to such an occurrence. Don't want to photograph a sham "wedding" between two people of the same sex for whatever reason? You should not be forced to do so.
This is not a religious issue. This is a human rights issue.
No one should be forced to serve another person. I believe that's why we ended slavery. I don't give a rip if it's about color, religion, or sexual proclivities. End of rant.
What do the following have in common?
If you're not prepared, you're screwed. It's as simple as that.
Do you have some cash set aside in a safe place in case the terminals at stores or banks are shut down? How about some water set aside if the power goes out? Candles? A way to keep warm? Do you have enough food for a week in case of horrible winter weather? Do you keep your car's gas tank full and some emergency supplies in the trunk like water and protein bars? Do you have enough money set aside to pay your bills for six months if need be?
If you answered no to any of those questions, then you need to rethink your priorities.
I'm not trying to present an over-the-top scenario here or engage in scare tactics. These are just examples of some everyday, and very real possibilities.

This is an issue that is certain to cause me to lapse into a red hot rage. I have numerous tabs devoted to the latest homo-fascist attack against decent people who own private businesses, just trying to live their lives.and...She’s soft-spoken, has 23 grandkids, professes love for the gay customer who tried to hire her for his wedding and helped him find another florist when she politely declined (it was Washington’s AG, not the customer, who filed the discrimination complaint against her), and stands to lose her business and possibly her home if the state keeps coming after her for this. There may be more sympathetic spokesmen for religious freedom out there but offhand I can’t imagine one. The polling on whether businesses should be required by law to cater to gay weddings is mixed, but I wonder how long that’ll last if the Stutzman case breaks big nationally. read the rest

About that FCC internet thing...
you know - the one where the FCC will vote to make the internet "fair" for everyone?
oh,
and don't forget "free."
They'll vote tomorrow.
This morning I read this article Losing the Internet by Richard Fernandez over at PJ Media. More importantly, I read the comments.
This one jumped out:
Is his optimism based on reality? Is there really going to be a Category 5 poopstorm?
In the blogosphere, we tend to live in our own little bubble. It's no different than living in a certain neighborhood where people share the same culture and values.
Let's suppose that the above commenter is right, and we collectively have a Category 5 poopstorm.
What exactly will change?
I recall a poopstorm over Obamacare. Last time I checked, it's still here.
We're having an assault on our borders by illegal immigrants, and all the while Obama is being directed by his puppet masters to just go ahead and do whatever he wants to do, and is moving ahead on amnesty. Did having a poopstorm make a difference?
This FCC regulation will be no different.
Depressing?
Yes and no.
We still have power over ourselves and our reactions to what is going on in this country.
Protect yourselves and your loved ones as best you can, and to keep it in perspective, be glad you're not a Christian living in the Middle East.

Eleventh-hour drama for net neutrality rules
oh,
and don't forget "free."
Don't you believe it.And as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) considers new rules for how to safeguard competition and user choice, we cannot take that principle of net neutrality for granted. Ensuring a free and open Internet is the only way we can preserve the Internet's power to connect our world. That's why the President has laid out a plan to do it, and is asking the FCC to implement it. http://www.whitehouse.gov/net-neutrality
They'll vote tomorrow.

PapayaSF
While this is obviously terrible for reasons others have stated, I'm not overly worried, because I don't think the administration understands the backlash this will produce.
Once the details hit the news and bloggers and Silicon Valley sees what's in these hundreds of pages of regulations, a whole bunch of people who thought "net neutrality" sounded nice are going to say: "WTF is this?!?" I think it'll be a Category 5 poopstorm that will have congressional Democrats babbling excuses and retreating in the face of the screams of previously loyal constituents and contributors.

Ted Cruz: The government is poised to steal your internet...
and it's going to cost you big!
Like I said in my last post:

Here's something else to tick you off. Think about this as you gaze at you paycheck and the amount of federal taxes withheld.
Moonbattery: Confirmed: Obama’s Amnestied Illegals Will Get “Refunds” From the IRS Even if They Didn’t Pay Taxes
Like I said in my last post:
It seems Ted Cruz agrees with me.I don't trust the "man" in the White House. He is a proven liar. I certainly don't trust the people who pull his strings and make his mouth move. I don't trust most of the elected officials. I also know that if you control communication, people's ability to travel, their food and, most importantly, their access to health care, you are in control of the populace.

Why is everyone concerned about Brian Williams when the FCC is trying to take over the internet?...
- or something.
I do not purport to understand exactly what net neutrality is all about. I operate on a "need to know" basis when it comes to all things tech. If something comes up that I "need to know", I do my best to inform myself.
I've read numerous pros and cons on net neutrality and on the surface, it seems benign. Therein, dear friends, is the danger. The people touting net neutrality are telling me how great this will be for me. It's brings to mind "if you like your plan", and we know how well that turned out.

This net neutrality thingy has come up before, but has always been shot down. I fear this time it will not be.
On February 26, the FCC will vote on what appears to be the take-over of the internet. Contrary to what others say, I don't think it will happen all at once, but I also absolutely know that anytime the government gets their nose into anything (and particularly something as important as the internet), the results will not be good.
Anytime the government tells me "something is for my own good", my spidey sense quivers.
The very fact that Odumbo's handlers think this is a good idea is a red flag, and is enough to make me cringe.
