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.
Agreed. When our law makers create new legislation these days, often they give names that have nothing to do with the law or a name that implies the exact opposite.
My favorite is the ACA, Affordable Care Act.
Then we have slogans the low info crowd suck up: “Hope & Change”.
I just wonder if there is a historical precedent where Americans have been this stupid before and willingly overlooked corruption.
