Giving Obama emergency control of internet

Giving the president the power to control the Internet could be crucial to the security of the country. Of course, with great power comes great responsibility, and the government has proven time and time again that the more power they get, the more irresponsible they become. It's a double-edged sword that will, absolutely, cut both ways.

There's the big problem. Even the best presidents would have to be watched carefully. This socialist monstrosity and his zombies and goons are so much more dangerous than the best that it's literally frightening to think about any additional power in their hands.

DUH!... It's the World Wide Web..It has almost become an entity all it's own. Obama nor anyone else could control it even if they wanted to...You can't possibly believe that is possible...

Ask the folks over in Communist China (as just one example) whether the government can control the internet .....

If you saying that no, the government cannot completely control it, then yes you are probably more or less correct (although given enough time and resources anything is possible) ..... however if you are saying the government cannot functionally control the majority of it ..... well, that is a different matter entirely ......

On the original subject, I don't think Obama could shut down the internet but I think he could significantly cripple things and could selectively shut down websites that tell the truth as opposed to chearleading his lies. That's what concerns me, not a total takeover of the internet. It should concern everyone. Obama/Pelosi/Reid are demagogical enough, moreso than any other prior regime, to do such a thing. They are, in fact, the first administration that truly deserves to be called a regime.

Websites are shut down everyday without ceremony or notification....That's far from shutting down the internet.

My original post was in reference to a headline story on the Drudge Report by CNET News dated August 28, 2009. The article outlines how aides to Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) have spent months behind closed doors constructing a 55-page draft of S.773 ... this proposal is an effort to grant Obama the power to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency. (See Drudge Report for full story).

I suspect Marshall law would already encompass that, were it really possible...

There's the inherent problem with multiple screen names. You create and use multiple names, very forcefully and vehemently deny that you're doing it, and then get caught doing it. You then do it again, trying to be all slick about it, but get caught again. You scream denial, but the more you protest and challenge the charge, the more you are in effect crying wolf, and nobody believes you. And thus, the credibility of your original screen name is reduced to zero.

The moderator(s) and/or administrator(s) know it wasn't me posing as Mr. Gautama. They also know who was... I would like them to divulge this information so as to stop these ridiculous attacks once and for all....

Turtle didn't mention any Names, So How is it that you "Think" he was directing that towards You?

If you had been paying attention a few months back you would know the answer to that question...

Don't take this the wrong way but why don't you just come out and say who it is, I would like to know.

I don't think it was you but then I didn't give a cr*p anyway when they were postings, Buddha was someone I tried to frustrate in a half a** attempt to fill my dwell time.

If I knew who it was I would gladly share it with you. I strongly suspect someone but I have no proof...

Exactly. I wasn't directing that towards anyone in particular. There are a lot of people here whom that shoes fits.

Prosthetic limbs may cost you an arm and a leg, but prosthetic screen names will cost you credibility and integrity.

as does plagiarizing a published Author.

.....not just "a few lines" [as been claimed]

.....but multible paragraphs [as been denied]

with the sole intent of passing those words off as your own

Turtle · Sep 1, 2009

I have never, not even once, passed off someone else's words as my own, never once taken credit for the words of others.

You on the other hand hide behind fake screen names and take cheap shots because you don't have the balls to, well.... because you don't have balls.
