"The Federal Communications Commission will allow some cities and towns to set up and expand

municipal Internet services, overruling state laws that had been put in place to block such efforts."

Net Neutrality: President Obama's Plan for a Free and Open Internet

More than any other invention of our time, the Internet has unlocked possibilities we could just barely imagine a generation ago. And here's a big reason we've seen such incredible growth and innovation: Most Internet providers have treated Internet traffic equally. That's a principle known as "net neutrality" — and it says that an entrepreneur's fledgling company should have the same chance to succeed as established corporations, and that access to a high school student's blog shouldn't be unfairly slowed down to make way for advertisers

See ya on the internet!

Oh, I know then State Senator Obama's speech well from Oct, 2002.. but, I actualy learned

about it after I decided to support him in the 2008 primary.

Are they really trying to insert the President into the neocons/bush' War On Iraq and lump him with those a$$bites?! Well, I guess.. of course they are.. they try to distort his history any way or time they can.

"...US foreign policy under Obama has been overcome by the events that are actually encountered in Iraq and the Middle East since 2003." And, intelligent people understand that.. like Senator Bernie Sanders..

"Bernie Sanders: You can slam Obama, but Bush’s ‘blunder’ created ISIS"

And, you can't "slam Obama" for ISIS unless you want to look like a ******* idiot.

Oh, they have their talking points down.. almost like

they're coordinated or something.

You can't bring up anything putin is doing because "The USA has done this and that." Well, sure we've been the bad guy but that sure as hell doesn't mean we can't discuss what the dic Putin is up to. Hilarious attempts to shutdown discussion. Got news for them.. it ain't workin'.

"And why do they think opposing potential US intervention requires whitewashing Russia?"
Exactly, it would be funny if it weren't so tragically pathetic.. and they've got RT to help them with the purifying.. a news outlet that isn't even acceptable in LBN(wonder why?)

Thank you again, Bains~

Thank you for Waging the battle against the Toxic Conglomerate Roundup-Monsanto.. one and the

same. That is always "worthy"!

Can you imagine from back in the day when growing up and planting gardens.. working on Biodynamic and Organic Farms(for me) that we'd ever have to deal with Greedy Seed Monsters trying to take over the ******* world?

This is what we're dealing with on Kauai.. We passed a law and a ******* judge has rendered it Invalid.. more people have to get sick before we storm the gates.. it makes me more pissed everytime I read this.

Federal Judge: Kauai's GMO Law Is Invalid

HONOLULU (AP) — A Kauai County law requiring companies to disclose their use of pesticides and genetically modified crops is invalid, a federal judge ruled Monday.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Barry Kurren ruled in favor of four seed companies seeking to stop Kauai's new law from going into effect in October.

Syngenta Seeds, DuPont Pioneer, Agrigenetics Inc., doing business as Dow AgroSciences, and BASF Plant Sciences sued for a permanent injunction, arguing the ordinance unfairly targets their industry.

All we were asking for was disclosure of what poisons and a buffer zone for school and hospitals.. well now they can spray the shite out of our land with impunity. The Judge thwarted the Will of the People.

Mahalo for your telling your fight with the monsters and I wish you all the luck in the future, cj!

I don't care how many Trolls they train.. they Suck at it. Check out the dif between putin at PBO..

"The bizarre hive of social media activity appears to be part of a two-pronged Kremlin campaign to claim control over the internet, launching a million-dollar army of trolls to mold American public opinion as it cracks down on internet freedom at home."

"According to campaign finance reports, Snowden donated $250 to the libertarian's presidential campaign twice in 2012.."

Edward Snowden and Ron Paul Kick Off Libertarian Student Conference With a Little Kerfuffle About Russia

snip//

"You know, my name was connected to Edward Snowden," said Paul. "They really wanted to blackball him, to destroy him, so they said: He donated to the Ron Paul campaign!"

snip//

"You continue to stand behind individuals who espouse racist, homophobic, and sexist ideas," said the student. "Why have you not explicitly condemned the authors?"

There was a mixture of boos and applause -- definitely more boos. Paul brushed off the question. "You'd have to dig 'em up, because I can't find stuff like that," he said. "I personally did not write the stuff out, and I had said where I disagree on it. That is too broad, for me to say I'm gonna disavow everything I wrote in a newsletter, that's foolishness."

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-02-14/edward-snowden-and-ron-paul-kick-off-libertarian-student-conference-with-a-little-kerfuffle-about-russia

"Former Republican Rep. Ron Paul, the father of potential presidential candidate Rand Paul and a former presidential candidate himself, said the Congressional Black Caucus does not support war because they want that money for food stamps."

Ron Paul: Full of Libertarian racist Bullshit.. and his little acolyte eddie..

No wonder Eddie gets along with Putin so well..

Former KGB general: Snowden is cooperating with Russian intelligence

http://venturebeat.com/2014/05/22/former-kgb-general-snowden-is-cooperating-with-russian-intelligence/

Don't make me have to re-post the Eddie quote on how he thinks Russia is the pinnacle example of advocating for "human rights".. ah hell, I will anyway..

"Yet even in the face of this historically disproportionate aggression, countries around the world have offered support and asylum. These nations, including Russia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Ecuador have my gratitude and respect for being the first to stand against human rights violations carried out by the powerful rather than the powerless. By refusing to compromise their principles in the face of intimidation, they have earned the respect of the world. It is my intention to travel to each of these countries to extend my personal thanks to their people and leaders."

Eddie's a bullshitter, too.

I guess so.. you'd have to be tone deaf to blatant racism to consider ron paul for anything or call

him "dreamy" like eddie snowden.

"On #arsificial, a channel on Ars Technica's public Internet Relay Chat server, Snowden shared his opinions with other users on everything from life in Switzerland ("God I hate metric. Why can't they use real numbers over here?&quot to Ron Paul ("He's so dreamy.&quot to unemployment in the US ("Almost everyone was self-employed prior to 1900. Why is 12% employment so terrifying?&quot to Social Security ("Somehow, our society managed to make it hundreds of years without social security just fine.&quot ."
