The Patriot Act is for a nation on it’s knees, not a nation rising. It’s about fear.
Also take note that the USA PATRIOT Act has a section titled “Protecting the Northern Border” but not a similar section with regards to protecting the southern border.
There's not a word not being spoken that the Patriot Act didn't stop the Tsarnov brothers. That bombing wouldn't have happened if those in charge had listened to Russia's warnings about them. Or better yet, these terrorist "refugees" had never been in the US to begin with.
And then there's ISIS. It would not have take much real, human intelligence to know they should've been disintegrated before they took over everything.
The DC crowd doesn't get it. We're not more safe than before 911. We're less safe because US policy has been all about globalist adventures and not about protecting US citizens. I'm not more safe if the gov takes away my freedoms and doesn't address the cause of our problems, which mostly comes from DC actions (or inactions).
