Just put these two words in the same sentence, and it's a done deal: "Liberal Internet". Just get Rush Limbaugh to accuse Planned Parenthood of using the Internet.
Remember how Ma Bell was broken up by the Fed? The Attorney General, as an executive order, told them to break it up and they obeyed without a whimper. Your access to the internet goes through private corporations, who will do whatever the feds tell them to do, rather than to litigate over a principle.
Public outcry? When the fed said it was in the best interests of America's security to bomb Iraq, we bombed Iraq. Where was the outcry? Where is the outcry over warrantless search for child porn (and anything else that might turn up in the process)?
