[DomainsInc]

Well said.. It's unfortunate we have a President who makes decisions based on public opinion rather than doing what's in the best interest for our troops.

With two active wars, McCain would of been a far better choice.

And say goodbye to the internet as we know it. Holy crap, the US dodged a huge bullet there. Oh, and with McCain it would of been 3 active wars. We all know the hard on he has for leveling Iran.

And still have no strategy, let alone an exit strategy.

I have no doubt more troops will be sent.

I am highly encouraged by several things...most importantly, NATO members have indicated (and committed) more troops will be sent in conjunction with the US. They are unified to commit troops, money, support for the Afghan effort.

This is something that is greatly needed and welcomed.

hi,,,Zurc,

Lol... How do you link to Glenn Beck videos and say its the truth, then claim not to be a a Republican or "bush defender"...

Give me a break bud...

For anyone who seriously likes Glenn Beck or believes a word that comes out of his mouth... You should rephrase the comment above...

"The Truth is always the Truth" to "The Truth is Only What Glenn Beck Gets Paid Several Million Dollars a Year to say, that goes for all the other 'Extremist' Fox News and Rush Limbaugh characters"

___

This Is 100% True: BTW: I am NOT a republican or a bush "defender"...Iraq was one of the most miss manage things I have ever seen in my lifetime. (Maybe you miss this part?) But history will show years from now he did the right thing...even if their were no WMD's. IMHO

This Is 100% True:I never mention "Rush"

This Is 100% True: What Glen Beck makes in $$$...has nothing to do with what he says as his perception of the "real Truth.

'Extremist' Fox News? I think you would only find them 'Extremist' if you believe the opposite and subscribe to the views of a couple of people on say MSNBC.

That is fine....That is your perception of the "real Truth.


But that is where a great word comes in and most importantly how you use it.

That word is: Discernment

People usually use discernment.....to find the Truth.

But requires some effort by ones self. Not just "repeating something you heard to be truthful"...you just going along with people that have been spoon feeding you ideas and thoughts all your life....a lot of which you may have no idea where or from whom they came from. You have to be able to challenge your own mind and beliefs...almost on a daily bases.

Hi,

Tonight's Show: Do yourself(s) a big favor and watch all five (same 1 hour show in order...just needed 5 videos to do it.

And please always remember:

Please don't expect me to watch 50 minutes of Glenn Beck's drama. I watched 5 minutes and saw nothing but a propaganda ploy based on emotions and feelings rather than facts.

Anyone can tell a story and make it sound incredible and believable. But without facts it's just a story. That's what news is facts. If you have facts feel free to put them on the table. Otherwise I can do without the Glenn Beck drama series.


Getting back to the subject of the thread, John McCain sure picked a spiffy name for his bill "The Internet Freedom Act".
Of course McCain is the LARGEST recipient of donations from the telecoms bar none

Net neutrality is important to all in the domain industry and I'm surprised any domainers would cut their own throats by supporting McCain's Internet Freedom Act.

The concept of Net Neutrality was created to prevent telecoms from blocking or slowing access to sites that compete with their corporate interests. As domain developers we rely on the ability of anyone to be able to access our domains and websites. Neutrality guarantees telecoms won't go back to walled garden concepts that limit what sites you can access.

Rachel Maddow does a great piece on Net neutrality from the perspective of people wanting to keep the internet open and free:

If you'd rather follow computer illiterate John McCain and his fancy named Internet Freedom Act to help out the telecoms just because you don't like Obama go for it. Just remember you are fighting against your own business interests in doing so....

Losers always think their right!

[zurc.net]

Lol, companyone, do you proof read before you reply?

[Doc Com]

Just so we are clear here:

McCain on Thursday introduced the Internet Freedom Act, which would keep the FCC from enacting rules prohibiting broadband providers from selectively blocking or slowing Internet content and applications. Net neutrality rules would create "onerous federal regulation," McCain said.

So, McCain wants to allow monopolies? Remember the Spectrum auction?

Rather, he would allow broadband providers from selectively blocking or slowing Internet content and applications?

Yup, exactly what I had hoped for. A slower, monopolized, and censored internet. And internet that allows Verizon, Comcast, AT&T and a few select others to determine what you see and by whom.

Think about it a minute; [I]Net Neutrality vs. Non-Net Neutrality/I]

This makes sense to some people out there???

[companyone]

Mean while...

2 more USA troops die today.

Obamas only has two selections:

A. Pull all troops out Today. (fine with me)
B, Send the requested or even more troops Today. (fine with me)

BUT make $#$ Decision!

It took him 4 months to name his dog.


Our troops have "bulls eyes" on their back's right now...because they are out maned and out numbered.

Again do not listen to what he says...look what his actually has done and is doing and does. It usually ends up not even close...

Spent 700 Billion "stimulus"...it has created a total of 30,000 "Government Jobs at an average pay of 71K. Its on their GOV website...they are proud of this accomplishment...must have been enough to win a Nobel Peace Prize....lol,... Clinton must be pissed off...he has done so much more good than Obama...despite his personal shortcomings



Obamacare: Doing it in secret behind close doors...trying to rush everything

You only do this to deceive people...



But that is NOT how it was GOING TO BE For sure:

Hi Think..


Your big on "Facts"...Give me 3 facts about any good legislation that Obama has past in the last 9+ months...that has been beneficial for most Americans? I said legislation not executive orders etc..

Thanks for your time and consideration...

Peace!
Dan

[thevirtual]

Mccain is an idiot and does not even understand what the internet is. "Mccain introduces internet freedom act" just doesn't make any sense. He is doing this for political gain only and I guess Mccain doesn't have anyone to buy him on this issue. Win/Win situation I guess.

[Doc Com]

Mean while...

2 more USA troops die today.

Obamas only has two selections:

A. Pull all troops out Today. (fine with me)
B, Send the requested or even more troops Today. (fine with me)

Again, what strategy to pursue?

Even military leaders are at odds.

Forward bases or not?
Pursue Taliban as combatants or not?
Accept Taliban into the current government or not?
Work with current government or not?
Coordinate with NATO troops or stay divided?
Negotiate with tribal leaders or not?
Train Afghani troops or not?
Play a supporting role or take the lead?

With failed policies previously, the taliban has become stronger and more brazen and al qeada has become more widespread.

What exactly do you want? send more troops in simply for the sake of numbers? Or do you want to send more troops and leaders in to an uncoordinated cluster **** without proper direction, preparedness, protection, direction, and a plan? Are you happy with that? Because that is precisely what has been going on since troop levels were drastically reduced from 2001 levels when those troops were dispatched to Iraq.

I may not agree with everything Obama is doing but one has to answer those questions and more. Numbers for the sake of numbers is no strategy at all. And why send 20K if the answer is 40K? and I heard the actual number needed may be 80K to 100K. So where do those troops come from when there is already 157,000 troops deployed? Nearly two years ago, I mentioned this very thing right here on DNF when my brother in law was on leave here in the states - there are NOT enough US troops in the world to ROTATE with those currently deployed. PERIOD! The answer to this (at the time) was to extend the current tour of duty from 12 months to 18 months, delay discharge and retirement times, and deploy reserves - WHICH HAS ACTUALLY ALREADY BEEN DONE!

Again, all of these are questions and concerns that need to be addressed NOW! Because if you deploy another additional 40K to 80K troops, where do they come from? And who relieves them? Do we extend combat tours to an unprecedented 24 months for the sake of numbers?

Deploying ALL of our troops is not the answer. And this was the same advice AGAINST opening a war on two fronts - the same advice given to BUSH that was ignored. And the cost of ignoring that advice THEN is having to deal with it NOW.

So I ask you -

If we send 40K troops to Afghanistan, where do they come from? do we want to activate every single reserve and guard troop? And how many times do we send the same people over to Iraq or Afghanistan?

I have an idea these are exactly the same questions that may be asked as we speak.

[companyone]

Hi Doc Com,

Then

As I Said:

A. Pull all troops out Today. (fine with me)

Done!

BUT>>>You can not just leave the very few ones we have there NOW as sitting targets for months...right now that's all they are...hes getting troops killed...by not making a decision NOW.

And the only reason he has not:.. is based purely on HIS political agenda. Its Politically "bad timing" for him right now.

Which is wrong on EVERY LEVEL you can think of.

___

UPDATE FOR "DOC COM:

He Was Not "unsure" about anything YOU mention above In March!:

Obama: Taliban and al-Qaida Must Be Stopped
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcZik35bWrs

He is NOT even 'unsure' about anything now...he's just worried about his political career and getting elected in 2012...has nothing to do with one point you make above.

BUT.., I Fully Understand Your Good Points...And AGREE with a lot of them.

But NONE of them have anything to do..with THE REAL REASON OBama has not made a decision in 54 Days since he got the Top General's report...Who Obama himself picked...to take on the problems of Afghanistan & Pakistan.


Peace,
Dan

Trying to bring this back on topic since this does affect us all.

Sadly, it looks like McCain supports internet censorship which sadly would make the US no better than countries like Iran, Saddam's Iraq, and China that block sites - but apparently the US doing it would be OK since it is companies doing it - not the government.

Now, what would be the basis on the ISPs rights to block a site? Legality? Site's rating (G-rated educational vs. pornography?)? Controversial topics (politics?)? Sites that don't agree with their political views? Companies paying to have other sites blocked (like Dell paying Comcast to block sites to HP.com etc..)?

Imagine if McCain succeeds? ALL of us could be out of business quickly. ISPs would have the right to block our sites, parked pages, AdSense, and so on. It could go even further - they could block a domain to kill traffic just to lower the value so they could get it themselves.

Now, I'd like to see the article since I didn't see it on the splash page of the link that was posted.

We should pull out of both wars only give them 90 days notice, let them and the rest of the world deal with it now, there is no way we can win unless we pull out.

So much for fighting high tech wars, in the past lots of people died so the ones left after the war, had no fight left in them anymore. Had we keep bumbing them from the air, till they handed over the terrorist and their leaders. They would of had no fight left, they would of also picked better leaders.

And not let terrorist in their country anymore, plus other country's would be put on notice. War is a very bad thing and to be kept from at all cost, because everyone loses with no real winners in real wars. Many people will die, and when it's over the reason it started will not matter anymore.
