OT…The following is from The National Taxpayers Union:
Net Neutrality Rears Its Ugly Head
http://blog.ntu.org/main/post.php?post_id=4911
Posted by Jordan Forbes – October 19, 2009
“The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will vote Thursday on a proposal that would impose federal government regulations on network managers. The so-called “net neutrality” rules would add to existing guidelines adopted in 2005 on Internet network operations. While the proposal is expected to pass with full support from FCC Commissioner Michael Copps and the Obama administration, we encourage you to speak out and let your voice be heard, as the final rule will not be voted on until the spring.
“Net neutrality” rules prevent private Internet providers from managing broadband traffic to guarantee maximum user experience. While supporters argue that these rules on service providers create a more “open” and “equal” Internet, the truth is that they will lead to slower access due to unmitigated bandwidth-hungry applications that have less appeal to customers anyway. Additionally, there would be little relief for consumers thanks to regulatory roadblocks for new companies seeking to build and operate broadband networks. Even those in the House majority remain wary of such regulations, as made clear by the 72 Democrats who sent a letter to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski expressing their concerns about the proposal and its potential detriment to network investment.
NTU believes the best way to ensure openness and equality is through a vibrant and competitive free market. Rather than steering the affairs of private business – and thereby steering away potential new companies – the government should place its focus on reducing existing tax and regulatory burdens.
The FCC has launched a new website where you can stay connected to the issue and share your thoughts and ideas. Take advantage of this opportunity to tell the FCC and President Obama that consumers do not want imposed rigid government control over the Internet’s traditionally free-flowing management. ”

October 20th, 2009 | 9:45 pm | #12
That 14-20 million estimate is way off.
Please Read “Mao” by Jung Chang, they estimate he his policies directly resulted in the deaths of at least 30 million and at most 80 million between 1929 and 1976. It is hard to quantify as many people died of starvation as a result of the Great Leap Foward, and many people were killed in the Great Cultural Revolution.

re: [Because killing 14-20 million people is cool to the left.]
i see they’re busy re-writing, uh, re-calculating history again..
“On Moral Equivalency and Cold War History”
Ethics & International Affairs, Volume 10 (1996)
[Where does that leave us, though, with the new evidence we have about the victims of Stalin and Mao Zedong? One recent but reliable estimate suggests that Stalin's domestic victims alone - when one totals not only the figures for the purges but also for the collectivization of agriculture and the famine that resulted from it - numbered about twenty million dead. This does not count the additional acknowledged twenty-seven million Soviet citizens who died as a result of World War II. But this is not the worst of it. Estimates of those who died in one single episode - the Chinese famine produced by Mao's ill-conceived Great Leap Forward from 1958 to 1961 - now come to some thirty million, thereby qualifying the Chairman (whose image was once a popular adornment for t-shirts and dormitory wall posters in the West) as perhaps the greatest mass murderer of all time.]

Now we are endangering its very climate to the point of extinction. Even the result of our breathing — carbon dioxide — has been declared by the EPA to be a dangerous pollutant.
[..]
This brave new world is not too far-fetched for science adviser John Holdren, who has advised taking population control to quite another level. He has at various times advocated forced abortion and sterilization and views people as a burden, not as the ultimate resource, as we do.
In a recently rediscovered book, “Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment,” co-authored with Malthus fans Paul and Anne Ehrlich, Holdren wrote that families “contribute to general social deterioration by overproducing children” and “can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility.”
Holdren envisions that a “Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries’ shares within their regional limits … the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits.” In other words, China on steroids.]

0bama:
“Help ACORN! Buy ObaMao shirts!”
“Huh? What is wrong with Chairman Mao?”
“He had his picture on every little read book that the children had to read. He made the famous Mao uniform for children to wear. He was into collective farming where the yellow honky farm owners where beheaded and their grain taken for his army.”
“Sure, Mao’s Great Leap Forward for Hope and Change ended in economic disaster, worthless currency, the great famine and the starvation of 70 million yellow honkies. So what? He stayed in power for years and had four wives. That is my type of guy!”
“Mao realized that power comes from class warfare and the barrel of a gun. He also realized that religion sucked and his close advisers needed to be purged from office – but the timing and propaganda had to be exact… I am looking at you Joe Biden and David Axelrod.”
“His organizational skills allowed him to find new hatchet men and build a political organization bigger that ACORN and SEIU combined.”
“But, the most important thing Mao learned was that America sucked. He shunned the American White Devil at every turn and stole there aid money. He even realized that Old Yellow People and Yellow Kids sucked and should be killed off to save precious resources for his expanding Central Health Care Committee.”
“The Central Health Care Committee members decided which Old People should die with the help of government experts working through normal legal channels. This is something I admire.”
“As your President, I see nothing wrong with Chairman Obama… I mean Chairman Mao – and even encourage class warfare and violent revolution.”
“My Limousine is running and I have a central meeting with ACORN. We are going to redistribute the wealth. And, for the last time No! I will not be joining the 0bamaCare revolution – it is for the stinking taxpayer. Good day.”

This shouldn’t come as a surprise. The bombers Bill and Bernadine, friends of the family obamas were all Mao disciples and as Barry was at Columbia U, members of the SDS.
And Mike Klonsky and college Illinois university friend and just a guy that lives the neighborhood was a hardcore fellow Mao who traveled to China quite frequently.
“Klonsky’s communist pedigree could not be clearer. His father, Robert Klonsky, was an American communist who was convicted in the mid-Fifties for advocating the forcible overthrow of the United States government — a violation of the Smith Act, anti-communist legislation ultimately gutted by the Supreme Court. In the Sixties, Klonsky the younger teamed with Ayers, Dohrn, Jones and other young radicals to form the Students for a Democratic Society. It was out of the SDS that Ayers, Dohrn and Jones helped found the Weatherman terrorist group.
Klonsky took a different path, albeit one that led inexorably to a new partnership with Ayers, which Obama mightily helped underwrite. Upon splitting off from the SDS, Klonsky formed a Maoist organization, first known as the October League, which ultimately became the Communist Party (Marxist Leninist).
Klonsky was CP(ML)’s chairman. He was so highly thought of by Mao’s regime that he was among the first Americans invited to visit Communist China. When he was feted there in 1977, a year after Mao’s death, the communist leadership hailed Klonsky’s party as “reflecting the aspirations of the proletariat and working people.”
Klonsky was a regular guest of the Chicoms until 1981, when the relationship soured over the post-Mao leadership’s free-market reforms. (Yes, Klonsky is apparently more committed to communism than China’s own Communist Party). So what was a Leftist radical without platform to do? Why, what else? He became an American college professor specializing in education.
After getting his doctorate, Klonsky eventually made his way to Chicago and hooked up with his old SDS comrade (and self-professed “small ‘c’ communist”) Bill Ayers. Together, they co-founded the Small Schools Workshop in 1991. The goal — as Ayers has repeatedly made clear, most prominently in a 2006 speech before Hugo Chavez at an education forum in Caracas — is to bring the same Leftist revolution that has always galvanized them into the classroom.

Nice guys huh?
October 21st, 2009 | 6:34 am | #37
In case you didn’t read the article; an excert from the obama file:
“Furthermore, as education remains one of Obama’s core areas of concern — a fact that should frighten you — he gave Klonsky a microphone during the campaign. On the Obama campaign’s official website, Klonsky ran a blog for the candidate, as Klonsky put it, on “education politics and teaching for social justice.” He ran it, that is, until blogger Steve Diamond called attention to it back in June. A that point, the campaign scrubbed the site of all Klonsky traces — a fitting Stalinesque purge, described by Diamond here (and reminiscent of similar efforts to erase the campaign’s false claims about Obama’s relationship with ACORN).”
All this was brought up before the election, during the campaign by a lot of websites.

I can’t believe that more than 5% of the population would buy that garbage. Mao? healthcare? peace? what absolute idiots. Mao had no love for any kind of peace save that through terror, and even with that, there was always the prospect of conquering other nations, then ‘pacifying’ them. Mao, like Stalin, had no reguard for human life. In his own words:
“We may loose more than 300,000,000 people. So what. War is war. The years will pass and we’ll get back to producing more babies than ever before.”
For the record, when he said that in 1957, the population of China, according to Population Statistics was 640,629,000, so he viewed 46.83% of the population he ruled over as ‘expendable’ and without a second thought. It would be akin to 145,173,000 people in the US being listed as ‘expendable,’ assuming a population of 310,000,000. Nothing ‘caring’ about that whatsoever. And on top of that they have the peace sigh–disgusting considering the following:
“People say that China loves peace. That’s boasting. In fact the Chinese love struggle. I do for one.”
These absolute morons need to read history–Mao killed 75,000,000 civilians (estimates vary from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000), kept China economically backwards as a rural and agricultural nation and kept the standard of living low. Then again that’s what they want–everyone to have an ‘equal sharing of misery’
