Net neutrality is the early internet version of The Fairness Doctrine.

Net neutrality is a bit technical for me, but as I understand it, it is all about maintaining the status quo on the Internet. Freepers, however, are always ready to jump to conclusions about Obama's Admin. Let the parade of imaginary horrible begin!

massgopguy has a totally legitimate question:

What’s the difference between this and the government limiting phone calls based on party affiliation?

I trust InterceptPoint

Obama just might decide that all ISPs need to carry HD feeds for all "real news organizations" (CNN, MSNBC, NPR, ABC News...) but not for the "not so real" Fox News. And that won't be a recommendation, it will be an order. Trust me, that's what they want. That's where they are headed.

MissouriConservative is consistent, if not much of a thinker.

It deeply troubles and saddens me to see conservatives supporting government intervention and regulation. I actually saw a post that basically said that he/she didn’t like government regulation but in this case, it’s ok.

SMALLER GOVERNMENT! NO EXCEPTIONS! That kind of knee-jerk reaction is not conservatism, or even libertarianism, it's anarchism.

SuperLuminal tries some sar-chasm:

And once again the Marxist "camel" gets it nose into the tent...

Hmmm...It has worked just fine in the "financial" industry...

Hmmm...It has worked just fine in the "education" industry...

Hmmm...It has worked just fine in the "automotive" industry...

Hmmm...It has worked just fine in the "health-care" industry...

Hmmm...It has worked just fine in the "housing" industry...

Hmmm...It has worked just fine in the "energy" industry...

With the latest abomination attached to the defense bill, it's about to work just fine in the "religion" industry...

Note the order of places superluminal is angry about the government involvement. It starts crazy (too much regulation is what caused the financial crisis), then gets MORE crazy (that government education is awful!) then turns to current events and ends with "energy" for some reason.

Also defense industry, police industry, roads, post-office, TELEPHONE INDUSTRY are not mentioned.

The Great RJ returns us to the awful analogy section of this post:

Net neutrality would be like forcing grocery stores to charge for groceries by the cart rather than by the items in the cart. So the customer buying a pound of hamburger and a loaf of bread would pay the same as the customer who loaded their cart with steaks and caviar.

Yes, because there are caviar-bytes that cost a lot to produce, and then there are cheap, water-bytes that are cheap but not very tasty or nutritious.
