President Obama has embraced the principle of “net neutrality,” meaning that internet providers shouldn’t charge some big-content providers more than others.

The Obamacare confession

Last updated on: November 16, 2014 at 6:39 pm By Gene Veith

She has made a splash already with her post Why Christians Should Stand Up for Atheists, which makes the case that religious liberty is for everyone, including those who reject religion.
