Your comments are similar to my thoughts as all this Patriot Act crap was becoming law. Yes, for the good intentions of protecting our country, it could be considered a good thing. But in the hands of a leftist regime, it becomes our very own Gestapo.
The name “Home Lands Security” does not set well. “Home Land” sort of mimics Nazi Germany’s “Father Land”.
One thing we can trust in, the Patriot act will be extended, possibly be made worse. The NSA will still be allowed to spy on anyone they want.
Their are no opposition political parties keeping our government balanced in the best interests of the people. Our Uniparty’s battle cry is “Leftward Ho!”
Agreed as to the Patriot Act and Homelad Defense. that’s what I thought when they first came out. I’m sick of the use of names that are designed to elicit an emotional patriotic response. Don’t manipulate me, just provide for the. Common defense.
