 Fox news reported there is a bill that would give the president the power to shut off the internet, like Egypt did. IMO, I smell a strong odor of fear coming off liberals and the far left.

If you read the whole article, other than the headline, it's clear the intent of the bill is to keep the internet functioning, not shut it down.

So what are liberals to fear?

That the new Republican house will not pass it?

It wasn't liberals who shut it down in Egypt.

You surely don't mean liberals are behind an effort to shut it down.

If you are, I think you're looking in the wrong direction.

It wasn't liberals? Apparently you know nothing about Egypt's government...

Enlighten me about the workings of the Egyptian government.

What parts or people are liberal and what are not?
