Hillary Clinton's latest attack on the Internet has drawn a ringing endorsement from a group of Internet monitors known as the "Coalition of Net Nannies Enjoying Decency;"otherwise known by the acronym "C.O.N.N.E.D.
C.O.N.N.E.D. believes the Internet has been foisted on society by a collection of smut merchants, radical liberal free thinkers, Satanists, greedy software companies, and well organized, well funded, anarchist groups. Ray Nemin, C.O.N.N.E.D's Washington D.C.
spokesman, says that "today's society has been conditioned by these Internet misfits to believe that anything can be published and transmitted in the name of freedom. According to Nemin, C.O.N.N.E.D demands a gentle, yet stern hand be put in place to guide the
infantile Internet to maturity. "We are not calling for outright censorship of the Internet." says Nemin; rather we are asking the government to force Internet Service Providers (ISP's) to regulate the material they feed through to the Internet. "We want to attack the
problem at the source."
C.O.N.N.E.D draws its members from a rather eclectic assortment of groups including clergymen from many different denominations, politicians from both parties, parent groups, several Fortune Five Hundred companies, and nearly three dozen law enforcement organizations from across the country.
Nemin and his group is adamant the American people need to be shielded from the 'filth" and "lies" being spread throughout the country by the Internet. "Just the other day one of our members called to say he had caught his nine year old son viewing pictures of a women fellate a donkey. And now with all the lewd and graphic details of the President's alleged affair being posted all over the Internet, how is that person's son expected to know right from wrong?"
C.O.N.N.E.D is aware, says Nemin, of the earlier failure of the Clinton Presidency to curb the Internet. He believes his group can take advantage of the President's record popularity in the midst of the scandal to pressure Congress to enforce strict Internet
legislation. "Freedom of Expression" argues Nemin is not the Freedom to corrupt and pornographize an entire society.
C.O.N.N.E.D. is headquartered in Washington D.C. and has branch offices in most major cities.
