We conservatives agree that the federal government should be smaller, less costly and less intrusive. We also believe in the rule of law, the enforcement of our law, and the Constitution as written. In other words, true conservatives understand that there are some functions of government that serve a necessary purpose and that are required by the Constitution. In that vein, laws giving the federal government the authority....

Beware the voice of concern leading us away from the personal freedoms guaranteed via the Constitution fought for diligently because of tyranny bestowed by the King of England that drove us to this greatest nation ever on earth. (breath)

It's like a constant drive for personal freedom and a giant magnet constantly pulling at us away from it.

We need to be devoutly fighting for freedom as long as we take a breath as the living.

My apologies for my rant.

From your link:
...The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act of 2010 (COICA), a bill with several Republican and Democrat co-sponsors, allows the Attorney General of the United States to apply to a federal judge to block American aid, funding and assistance to Internet sites located offshore that are wholly dedicated to the counterfeiting and theft of American goods and intellectual property...

I think it’s breaking news when this is what the RINOs are using as their excuse to support the bill....

Besides, I didn’t see this posted already....

We conservatives believe in the rule of law. Therefore, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

I believe many conservatives would disagree....

If I get pulled over by a cop and they asked to search my car, the answer is NO.... do I have anything to hide? No, so what do I have to fear? Nothing. That’s not the point.....he’s not searching my car w/out probable cause or a warrant....cause he won’t get my permission. Even though I have nothing to hide.....

Sorry, granting federal powers to seize property without due process is not a conservative position. The esteemed senator should be run out on a rail.

>>”laws giving the federal government the authority”<<

Reading only that far the answer is NO! Giving the government authority is not what we should support.

Turning the internet over to the movie downloaders and making the rest of us stand in long lines.

Conservatives should be against taxpayer money being used to enforce privately-owned copyrights. This is yet another form of corporate welfare.

And why does the GOP bend over backwards to help the Hollywood Left?
