Wow, what a disingenuous, bullshit comment you've made here.
From the article:
>We need to send a strong message to the world that the Internet has thrived under a decentralized, bottom-up, multi-stakeholder governance model.
While that statement was made by a Republican Congresswoman, I see no reason to think that it doesn't accurately represent the thoughts of most of the House - including Democrats - because, as she points out, it is a multi-stakeholder model. Some of the proposals before the ITU, the very ones the House is united against, would put significantly more power in the hands of the federal government - not less.
Why do Democrats oppose it anyway? Because they aren't fascists. Sorry to be the one to have to tell you.
"Why do Democrats oppose it anyway? Because they aren't fascists"
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Democrats are just as quick to throw millions of people in prison as the Republicans are, and it is the Obama administration that has set the record for "most paramilitary raids on medical marijuana dispensaries."
the Obama administration [...] has set the record for "most paramilitary raids on medical marijuana dispensaries."
That's like saying during the Bush Jr. administration that they had set the record for the "most paramilitary raids on cloud computing datacenters". The title is meaningless because the measure didn't exist before that administration.
First of all, the fact that paramilitary raids on marijuana dispensaries even happen with the full approval of the Obama administration is bad enough. That being said, California's medical marijuana program has been in place since 1996, long before Obama even had aspirations to be in the white house.
