[Anti Federalist]

it's breathtaking the arrogance, so soon after the SOPA/PIPA debacle

Not to me it isn't.

The system just doesn't even care anymore, it's not even going through the motions anymore.

Used to be, it would wait a few months or years before it "lateraled" on you and accomplished the goal.

Now, they just steamroll us all.

My rep voted yes.. and so did the other two jokers in Nebraska. They will all be getting phone calls tomorrow.

 

[sailingaway]

Yeah, I posted in general politics about it. They rushed it up a day, it was scheduled for tomorrow. Ron was on his way to UT to speak, so he didn't vote. They say they made it WORSE in amendments.

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

Had there been a big effort against it like SOPA, it may not have passed.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Freshman "Tea Party" NH representative Frank Guinta - AYE

Long time NH GOP machine representative Charlie Bass - AYE

Rest assured Shaheen-D and Ayotte-R will both vote AYE in the Senate.

NH's federal representation is atrocious.

 

[Anti Federalist]

My rep voted yes.. and so did the other two jokers in Nebraska. They will all be getting phone calls tomorrow.

Which will be ignored.

Good work, Tonko.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said the bill was “needed to prepare for countries like Iran and North Korea so that they don’t do something catastrophic to our networks here in America.

Ugh, He's mine. And he's as much a dick in person as he is in Congress, too. He's ex CIA and makes absolutely sure that his constituents are scared to go to sleep at night.

 

[Lishy]

THE INTERNET DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY! THIS BILL IS INEFFECTIVE FOR CYBERSECURITY!

WHAAA

WHAAAA????????????????????????????????


If facebook gets hacked, I don't give a fuck! But my friend who MAKES webservers and hosts domains doesn't want this "cybersecurity" bullshit! He could handle his own content, and doesn't need to fear "North Koreans" and "iran"!

 

[John F Kennedy III]

And this ladies and gentlemen is what happens when the majority of people don't pay attention to politics. And when the majority of people who do pay attention to politics are herded like sheep by the clowns on the Idiot Box.

I'm so pissed right now.

 

[jmdrake]

LOL @ people who think Republicans generally are more in favor of freedom.

Both sides want authoritarian control, just slightly different flavors of it, that, perversely, compliment each other.

But don't you know? It's for the children. /sarcasm.

 

[Tiso0770]

My fellow Americans....NOW will you fight for Ron Paul and Liberty?!.

 

[John F Kennedy III]

The 3 Reps we can trust, Paul, Amash and Jones voted no

Well Paul didn't vote, but we know how he would've voted.

I'm hoping Rand or Mike Lee don't surprise me.

The House passed the controversial CISPA cybersecurity bill on Thursday, defying a White House veto threat and throwing the issue squarely into the Senate’s lap.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said the bill was “needed to prepare for countries like Iran and North Korea so that they don’t do something catastrophic to our networks here in America.”

The same federal government that can't secure a stealth drone from Iranian (and Chinese?) hackers supposedly is going to protect the entire Internet?

 

[The Free Hornet]

Google et al didn't rise up against this one because the bill grants the cooperative corporations immunity to collect most any data (even if they have posted 'privacy policies' yapping about what they won't do or how they value your privacy).

Cybersecurity Bill FAQ: The Disturbing Privacy Dangers in CISPA and How To Stop It

CISPA destroys these protections by declaring that any provision in CISPA is effective “notwithstanding any other law” and by creating a broad immunity for companies against both civil and criminal liability. This means companies can bypass all existing laws, as long as they claim a vague “cybersecurity” purpose.
