I would be all for repealing the 16th Amendment for improving the economy.
The right has said no to net neutrality for that exact reason........
We dont have it now, tell me how restricted you are on what you say and do, besides FB and Twitter?
The left are trying to come up with a solution to a problem that doesnt exist, in order to implement controls that would do the exact opposite of what you think they would.......

The US has fought proxy wars for ever. It's no different now with the government using elements of the public and social media to fight the civil war.
It's the right too. The right has been the source of the newfound net neutrality issue.
The right constantly talks about how the media is left leaning (rightfully so in many regards), yet they're willing to let Time Warner communications control what comes through their internet? Keep in mind that is the company that owns CNN.

I'm curious.
Many on (or near) the right suspect and dread a new civil war.
All we've seen is casual mocking from the more left-leaning members.
Is it because they don't think there will be a war, or do they think they will win it?
From a resident Libertarian point of view (mine) it seems the rightwing on here, with all their Chicken Little civil war doom porning, are the ones itching & fapping for a war, not the other side of the fence.
It's very apparent to those sitting elsewhere on the political spectrum, observing. Fancy words and long posts are cheap. Reading between the lines is a wealth of info.
because what, theyre suppose to shut down Time Warner? lol you cant just shut them down man.......
It use to be, but its not anymore.......unless youve been living under a rock, you can see its spilled onto the streets, onto every social media outlet, and to every household.......
People are ostracizing family members because of whats going on........
I think (believe) that when/if the poo hits the fan, democrat and republican politicians will openly unite against the American people.

You know what the worst part of this is?
The anti-constitutionalists don't realize they're anti-constitution. They believe their actions will move the country forward so if they have to commit treason to do it, they will. This brainwashing is what makes them so dangerous to the progress (REAL progress) of our country that we love.
yes they do , of course they do , they just dont want to say it.......
3 years ago they woudlnt have said they were socialists or even pro communism.......now they are open about it......
Theyre just not admitting it yet.........give em until the primaries

You're speaking of both parties here right?

I think you mean sedition, not treason.

Question.
Because our democracy typically involves two parties, and one party kills all the members of the opposing party, until there is only one party left, or survivors of the second party are forced to succumb to the beliefs of the 1st party in order to continue their lives and those of their children and loved ones, is what is left still a 'democracy"?

you werent talking to me, but damn right......that doesnt know a party .......
Thanks for being honest. The two parties are like mega churches, they interpret and pervert the text to fit their agenda.
So far theyve tried both.........
I'd agree there could be a case made for attempts of sedition by factions of the left.... But not treason.

I see your mistake. You equate moving forward as a good thing. Two cars having a head on collision at 65 mph because one was a jackass driving the wrong way on the interstate happens.
But both cars were indeed moving forward.

I'm talking about anyone trying to change the constitution because one piece of it doesn't benefit them.
