For decades there has been a slow steady destruction of our freedoms, but, since Obama took office, there has been an explosive destruction of our constitution and freedoms. The Obama administration is a tyranny.

Corporations are once again cast as "dangerous" and "powerful".

Except for the motion picture industry and trial lawyers, of course. Their checks always come to the DNC on time.

No corporation can force you to use its product or service. But the government can. Which then, is truly powerful or dangerous?

Oddly - it is even worse - it is a way to put complete power over internet content into the hands of a few media elites. If the “liberal” media isn’t bad enough already, giving them authority over who can say what and where on the internet is the last straw..

SOPA, et al is a threat to 1st Amendment rights.

Chris Dodd is one of those perfect reverse barometers: if he opposes something, it must be true or right. If he supports it, it is improper, unethical or immoral.

Why is he still affecting policy? Shouldn’t Dodd be living overseas in his Countrywide mansion in Ireland?

Hey dodd—privately owned sites—their call. It’s rather like being a member of congress where they do what they want.

That Dodd is a sponsor should be enough to kill this legislation.

“Abuse of power?” “dangerous and troubling stunt?”

Wow. A private business makes a decision on what to do with their own property that threatens no one’s life nor limb nor property and this act somehow is an abuse of power? Hmmmm, sounds like the definition of a communist.

And THAT is the point of the protest. "They" are in control of "their" services. NOT YOU!

Isn't it special, the way Dodd is arguing in favor of unlimited access to web-based media content. That's a bit contrary to MPAA's usual stance on such things.
