so I can know if or when to shred my GOA membership card. I was rather hopeful it would be the alternative to NRA.

Thanks-

I don’t think they’d like it if the left had even more control over what’s traveling across the airwaves to be seen in American homes.

Pa forst titt igjennom, vil noe som helst som jeg ma si pa Engelsk ikke vaere meget hyggelig.

Slik, jeg vil ikke kommentere til Gevaer Eiere Av Amerika responderer.

Mr. Pratt just replied to a contact mail I sent and has given his blessing for me to post it here.

My response (received and acknowledged by Mr. Pratt):

Hi Mr. Pratt:

I honestly am relieved to hear that and understand fully. Many people were bamboozled into siding with them.

Now please do literally millions of others a favor: Withdraw from that ultra-dangerous ‘Free Press’ affiliate.

Publicize that…. as much as possible, as loud as possible, as big as possible.

===============

I have a feeling we can expect a press release from GOA within a very short time frame.

I was wondering if there is a way to pull up all your diaries regarding this series you have been doing. (very much appreciated by the way)

I sent the 1st couple to all on my email list begging them to pay attention and since then I have dropped the ball so I would like to hook them up from the beginning (whetherr they want me to or not) .

all comments and posts will pop up. Make sure if you look to note the ones on Correa and Obama orchestrates the “Perfect Storm.” They all have links to previous posts.

Thanks for your interest and putting this out there.

They just cant hide from LadyImpactOhio!

I thank Kenny S. for his work on this but prefer to hear directly from the horse’s mouth. Will keep you informed

The closest thing that would be the foundation of the Internet as we know it would be the Arpanet, which was funded by the military and was strictly non-profit.

Back then, the way you did something about someone being a jackhole was that you contacted their upstream provider and pointed out to them exactly what one of their subsidiaries was doing. Usually this solved the problem, though sometimes they were just as bad and you had to go to their provider, repeat as needed. This almost always solved the problem, except in one rare instance where the offender was paying for his connection directly to uunet, who by definition would always serve anyone who could pay the bill.

I wasn’t there at the founding of the Internet, but I did hang around during its teenage years, and I met a number of people that did contribute a lot to making the Internet as we now know it, and I can tell you unequivocally that these bozos don’t know their TCP from their IP, all they see is another domain for them and their liberal buddies to conquer.

The Internet is and always has been a cooperating anarchy. Nothing keeps you from running a mail server on any port you want, it’s just that by convention it usually runs on port 25 and other people won’t know where to find yours by default if it’s not on port 25. Web servers run by default on port 80 (and https on 443) but nothing prevents you from running a webserver on any port you want; all you have to do is add the port number into the url and people will be able to get there– I know one person who runs his webserver on port 4201.

People that try to control the Internet are denying its very existence. As the old saying goes, “The Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it”.

. . . and please keep us posted. Without the Second Amendment, the rest of it goes away.

GOA is supposed to be an up-and-coming organization that would, if it could supplant the NRA (which I’ll quite frankly admit doesn’t always do things exactly as some people would like).

But hey, I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I’m a pretty magnanimous guy when it comes to listening to people’s explanations, and my first inclination is to at least let someone explain when they’re accused.

When a senior person here at Redstate insinuated that the NRA was, in effect, sleeping with the Left, my first thought was to wait a little while and see what the responses were. Since GOA is much smaller and at this moment much less effective than the NRA, they’re kind of the underdog in a sense, and basic civility dictates that before I really start getting upset, I let them explain themselves.

So I will. Let’s see what they have to say.

Before I even have a membership card that I might have to shred.

You know, otherwise it might just be a waste of money .

…on the issue of Net Neutrality. It’s so lost in nuance and competing interests that nobody understands what it’s all about–even if you try to research it, it’s very hard to cut through the propaganda.

That being said, GOA has some explaining to do, particularly, why are they involved in this issue to begin with? The reason many are flocking to GOA from the NRA is that they (supposedly) focus solely (and unapologetically) on 2nd Amendment rights.
