You know how we’ve been up at arms with China and how they censor the internet and watch everything that their individuals download, block them from getting to certain sites etc?  Well your amazing Democratic VP candidate is against Net Neutrality, Privacy, File Sharing, and Bit Torrent.

 So if you ever, I don’t know, let someone have a couple MP3’s or made someone a mix tape (CD/USB KEY whatever), you’ll be a wanted criminal.  You know, on top of the fact that they’re going to raise your taxes, propose more government spending than ever before for social programs that should not be coming from a centralized government. 

Don’t Believe me? Check out the details here. 

He asked Congress to spend $1 billion to monitor peer-to-peer activity. (In fairness, much of this is to prevent child pornography, but the tactic is apparently a little blunt.)

• Two Biden bills have been explicitly anti-encryption, because you know, encryption makes it hard for the FBI to read people’s e-mails.

• He has expressed support for internet taxes and internet filtering in schools and libraries.

• The RIAA seems to be one of his best buddies: Biden sponsored a bill that would restrict recording of songs from satellite and net radio, and another one that would make it a felony to “trick” a computer into playing back unauthorized songs or running bootlegged videogames. That latter one died when Verizon, Microsoft, Apple, eBay and Yahoo all argued against it.

• Biden was one of just four senators invited to attend a celebration of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act hosted by the MPAA’s Jack Valenti and the RIAA’s Hillary Rosen, two of American file-sharer’s most wanted.

So lets review.  Voting for Obama/Biden is a vote to give up more of your rights.  Every day, our rights get chipped away, slowly, so we get used to it.  Then we start asking, hey what happened to our right to privacy, or our right to freedom of speech? We voted them away over the course of 50 years because we allowed politicians with agendas to turn us into a state controlled country just like China.

Consider this.  You know how many people dislike the idea of toll roads, because in many cases the tax payers end up paying twice for the roads, and they never turn a toll road back to a non-toll road.  Well what about the internet?  Are you ready to be taxed for using the internet? Or Internet Sales tax?
