The Democrats have dialed the hysteria meter up to 12, and absolutely everything is a crisis. One type of faux crisis is particularly transparent. It is exemplified by the Left’s current fit over net neutrality, a policy that few understand and, I think, fewer still have much reason to care about. But leftists have figured out their messaging, as reflected in this absurd headline in today’s Minneapolis Star Tribune:

Equal Internet Access Is Overturned by the FCC

Whatever the FCC did, it certainly did not “overturn equal internet access.” Rather, the internet will be as it was in 2015 and in all previous years. Do you recall any problem with equal access to the internet before the introduction of “net neutrality” two years ago? No, neither do I. “Net neutrality” was a solution in search of a problem. Yet Democrats reportedly have been making death threats against the children of FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.

Silly ninnies is what they are, and that's all that they are. Silly and vicious.

I agree with his line............. “Net neutrality” was a solution in search of a problem.

It sure appears to be heading in that direction. The sensible ones have left the building and the radical Leftists are in full rage mode. They're attacking virtually anyone, based on nothing more than unsubstantiated accusations. They appear to see only one side of any issue -- their side -- and they will do their damnedest to shame anyone who disagrees.

They are a dangerous lot, indeed.

We live in interesting times.
 
Yeah, yeah. “Left bad, left bad, left bad.” And the usual hacks gather to stroke each other over another wingnut blog regurgitation from Lowdown.

That's what the poolitical system runs on, the chaos is required to maintain the societal wealth extraction paradigm and the masses must be kept distracted and sniveling at each other.

You can stop the drama. We are only referring to the ultra far left.

Maybe YOU are. Others in this thread, especially the OP, present that they cannot comprehend the difference.

Well, those on the far left who claim crisis every time an Obama era program is canceled as if it had always been there and the nation can't survive without it do make alot of noise.

The extremists on both sides make a lot of noise. The extremists on both sides do not represent mainstream conservatives or liberals. The extremists on both sides need to shut up.

I cannot argue against that other then to point out that the left has more extremists in high office then the right. For instance Nancy Pelosi referring to the tax reform bill as "Armageddon" and the "end of the world".

And I would disagree. The right has plenty of extremists in high offices, just as many as the left. And the right has FAR more extremists shouting from the top of their lungs as pundits in the media.

Can you name some of those alleged far right extremists, who hold high office? As for pundits in the media, name some if you like, though I will probably disagree as I can probably guess who you will pick.
