SOPA/PIPA, Net Neutrality and the Good Guys and Bad Guys Against Both

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) (and its Senate alternative, the Protect Intellectual Property Act [PIPA]) have been taking a bipartisan beating.  Conservatives have joined with Leftists to savage the bill and thus its chances for passage.

I too am opposed to this iteration of SOPA – it remains too overly broad.
But something similar and more finely, sharply crafted – must become law.  And conservatives will need to reorient themselves when a better version of the bill comes along – and support it.

We cannot look at the SOPA debate without putting it into the broader context…

New Year’s Resolution: Prevent the UN from Voting Itself Our Internet Overlord

The Barack Obama Administration has, since its inception, been moving the United States dramatically leftward, trying to (at the very least) make us a western European socialist entity. Ideologically, a full-on participant in – rather than a rational outlier of – the patently absurd United Nations (UN).

Perhaps the greatest – and worst – example of President Obama’s UN-ing of America was his Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s December 2010 illegal Network Neutrality Internet power grab.
The Administration going to these unlawful lengths to commandeer control of the ‘Net makes it a little more difficult to persuade international

Amnesty by fiat

You heard that Obama decided that deportations of illegal aliens will cease, and just be on a case by case basis now, right?

Excuse me, but when did Obama get to decide what laws to follow and what laws to ignore? Didn’t he take an oath or something? It’s grounds for impeachment. I wonder if the mighty Republicans will stand up and force the issue? Oh, who am I kidding? They’ll cave on this like they cave on everything.

This is amnesty by fiat, and it’s also pandering and courting the Hispanic voting block. Anything for power reelection. Note to Obama: Anybody in this country illegally is a criminal that willfully broke the law, in your oath, you swore to uphold the laws of the United States, that means all the laws, not the one’s you just happen to agree with, or aid you politically.

Bowing to pressure from immigrant rights activists, the Obama administration said Thursday that it will halt deportation proceedings on a case-by-case basis against illegal aliens who meet certain criteria, such as attending school, having family in the military or having primary responsible for other family members’ care.

Obama’s gotta go next year, he’s nothing but a piece of shit wrapped in skin.

The top House Republican on the Judiciary Committee said the move is part of a White House plan “to grant backdoor amnesty to illegal aliens.”

“The Obama administration should enforce immigration laws, not look for ways to ignore them,” said Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican. “The Obama administration should not pick and choose which laws to enforce. Administration officials should remember the oath of office they took to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the land.”

Impeach the bastard and lock him up for the rest of his life. I’m sick and tired of that tyrant.
