I suggest those of you who make wise-cracks about the libertarians and the Patriot act, take a basic course at your local university in American National Government.

"The degree of one's emotion varies inversely with
one's knowledge of the facts – the less you know,
the hotter you get."

~Bertrand Russel, 1872-1970

Spare me. I've had it up to the gills with this sanctimonious focusing on the Patriot Act as if it's the sole and largest threat to our Constitutional Rights.

Hell, anyone with half a brain knows damned well that our core liberties have been under attack for decades. It didn't start with the Patriot Act, nor was it scarcely exacerbated by the Patriot Act.

Like I said, if anyone wants to start championing our rights, let them start a REAL fight for the ONLY right that safeguards all our other rights. But this business about whining first and foremost about the Patriot Act isn't just annoying...it's nothing but whoring for sympathy.

To hell with that. Try undoing the decades-long assault on our rights. THEN worry about undoing the Patriot Act.

Is that why the liberts and Puchannan followers always have their panties in a wad?
