Why Senator Stevens Needs Internet Censorship

Now did you get the key words in that proposed attack on free speech and free access to information that the establishment mass media is depriving US of? The Internet must be “filtered,” meaning it needs a Hillaroid-approved government stooge to monitor what is allowable for public consumption and what is not. And just like Hillaroid’s false front, it is , of course, “for the children.” That authorizes deprivation of truth and fact to adults that wish to think as opposed to turning in their belly buttons. And also startling, is the point made by Thomas that civil liberties groups weren’t invited. They obviously weren’t wanted and were considered by these fine examples of American government officialdom as threats to their clandestine political maneuvers.

Here’s the “it’s-for-the-children fraud” offered by Inouye: “‘While filtering and monitoring technologies help parents to screen out offensive content and to monitor their child’s online activities, the use of these technologies is far from universal and may not be fool-proof in keeping kids away from adult material,’ Sen. Inouye said. ‘In that context, we must evaluate our current efforts to combat child pornography and consider what further measures may be needed to stop the spread of such illegal material over high-speed broadband connections.’” Then Internet genius Stevens chimes in: “‘Given the increasingly important role of the Internet in education and commerce, it differs from other media like TV and cable because parents cannot prevent their children from using the Internet altogether,’ Sen. Stevens said. ‘The headlines continue to tell us of children who are victimized online. While the issues are difficult, I believe Congress has an important role to play to ensure that the protections available in other parts of our society find their way to the Internet.’” In other words, parents need help raising their children from these two morons!

...

So there you have it. More secret government operations, abuse of power, and lobbying arrangements depriving the American people of both representative government and justice. Yet these holier-than-you-and-me “honorables” feel qualified to write laws to govern our behavior, what we see, what we read, and what we think. And does it matter to which party they belong? Only if you are a political party loyalist and simpleton.
