Tea Party Internet policies a mix of good and awful
http://j.mp/T6BDwh (ars technica)
"Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), the son of libertarian Congressman and
presidential candidate Ron Paul, visited the conservative Heritage
Foundation on Thursday to sketch out his agenda for preserving
Internet freedom. In Paul's view, this means opposing warrantless
government snooping of private networks-and also opposing regulations
intended to protect privacy and network neutrality."

It's notable how these guys twist and squirm to avoid giving the
government credit for doing anything good. The individuals who
created the ARPANET were empowered to do so by the government. The
Tea Party and their GOP minions apparently are fundamentally just
anti-government, anti-the poor, anti-health care, and especially,
anti-science -- which makes their interest in the Internet even more
ironic.
