One Year Later, The Left?s Net Neutrality Lies Look Even Dumber
Posted at 11:23 am on December 17, 2018 by Seton Motley
For those who don?t pay particularly close attention to politics ? those on the Left lie. A LOT.
They lie about Donald Trump-Russia collusion. They lie about their Russia collusion. They lie about green energy being green and energy ? it?s neither. They lie about government-run health insurance. They lie about government-run medicine. They lie about tax cuts. They lie about tax increases.
We could cite examples of Leftists lying?until the crack of Doom.

Steadfastly Resisting Reality
You want yet another panoply of spectacularly ridiculous Leftist lying? Behold ? the Internet.
Thanks to government a quarter century ago wisely deciding to leave the Internet largely alone ? the Internet has become a free speech-free market Xanadu. Nothing in the history of humanity has grown bigger, better, stronger, faster. It went in two decades from ?What?s that?? ? to 1/6th of our entire economy.
To the Left, the great idea to have government leave the Internet alone ? was the Original Sin. And they?ve been trying ever since to bury government?s hooks into the Internet ? so that they can then reel it in.
The Internet is now a REALLY big fish ? so it requires a cadre of REALLY big Leftist lies.
The Left?s ultimate objective is to eradicate the private sector Internet ? and replace it with a government-run Internet. So they lie like crazy about the private sector Internet.
To engender support for government?s regulatory assaults upon the Internet ? they lie about our amazing, nigh-universal, super-fast private sector access to it.
The US Problem with the Internet Isn?t Access ? It?s Leftists? Lies About It
And they lie about the companies who connect us to the Internet. These are the Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The companies that have invested more than $1 trillion devising and designing, building and improving our connections to the Web.
We have gone from 28K dial-up ? to more than 1GB mainline speed. And ever-climbing. These ever-improving improvements are almost inconceivably amazing.
But ISPs have done all this Internet-improving ? despite government, not because of government. Rendering Leftists? government-Internet-championing ? stupider by the day.
So the Left came up with a HUGE lie to counteract Reality. Behold: Net Neutrality.
Net Neutrality is an all-encompassing government power grab of the Internet:
?At the moment, the battle over network neutrality is not to completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies. We are not at that point yet. But the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control.?
Leftists tell their ridiculous Net Neutrality lie ? Joseph Goebbels-style:
?If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.?
America?s ridiculously Leftist media dutifully does its Goebbels-part ? to shield us from the truth.
The Barack Obama Administration in 2015 unilaterally imposed Net Neutrality. And a year ago last week ? the Donald Trump Administration rolled back the Net Neutrality grab.
And the Leftist media ? went to their lying ramparts.
