Glenn Greenwald tweeted this accusatory message:
The faction doing this is the one claiming to stand for limited government, individual liberty and privacy: http://is.gd/ZQmnL2
At first I was mad but he is right to point out that the GOP shouldn't be pushing for this crap. I don't see why ISPs have to do anything whatsoever but before the left rips into this GOP senator I would like to point out that they established the legal mechanisms for doing so.
The first and most obvious one is the right to regulate commerce. This interpretation gives congress the power to regulate every transaction and business in the world which allows them to force ISPs to do record our data. The second is the organizations like the FCC that has the power to establish their own rules without congress. Only if congress had to vote up or down on such proposals then they would feel the wrath of the voters but since the FCC is doing it they escape any retribution from the voters.
Now that I have said my piece about this I would like to point out that Glenn Greenwald doesn't even know what individual liberty is. Individual liberty is based on one-hundred percent self-interest and without self-interest you have no individual liberty. People no longer act for their own interest and what is best for them but for society's interest. This removes the idea that we act for our own wishes and wants in life of which is the selfish desire to live.
The left established all the mechanisms that allow us to fight in foreign wars because it is our 'duty' to do so. More people have died in foreign wars under democratic presidents in the 20th century than under true conservative presidents. How many people died in foreign wars under Calvin Coolidge and Ronald Reagen compared to Wilson and FDR. They even started Vietnam!
Yes--all the things the left hates is the fruit of their ideas. Conservatives just get the blame for it.
