I applaud your dedication.I would like Larry Craig and Bob Barr to explain it to me thoroughly..why our rights are being endangered.I want them to examine historically the civil war,WW2 through the Korean war.

We have gotten so politically correct ,both left and right,we may as well sign a suicide pact.

We are at war.There is an enemy who wants to destroy us.We must have tools in the hands of law officials to find and prosecute them.

In your willingness to overlook this extension of power by the feds, you neglect to consider the absolute antipathy that the government has (and so many Americans have) for our 2nd Amendment rights. Recovering lost ground may not be as easy (or impossible) when we are disarmed in the name of safety.

I haven't read the act yet either. I'm not saying that it is all bad and many of my concerns have been allayed. But we should still be cautious. There is too much at stake.

I despise the cynical PATRIOT name itself and I mistrust most things that the government does with such speed as this was pushed through Congress.

All the terrorists can do is kill us. There are fates worse than death.

No war was declared. And the people who are trying to destroy us are many and some are domestic.
