By the way, Republicans do wrong all the time, and if you had bothered to do a search on posts and read a bit, you would have seen me bitching about CFR.
But no, some people are too lazy to be bothered with finding things out.
Your 'Republicans can do no wrong' mantra is a complete nonsequitor. The 'debate' here has gone like this:
Me: I support the Patriot Act although I think it could be improved.
You: The Patriot Act created the Gestapo.
Me: It did no such thing, and apparently you have no clue what the Gestapo was really like.
You: You obviously think Republicans can do no wrong.
You may want to take a night course at a local college; you could use Logic 101.
There is no way you can "improve" an act that by its very nature restricts the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights. Unless it's to more efficiently restrict those rights.
Sorry, I forgot the mantra again ...
And you might want to research the phrase "moral relativity." If it's wrong when "they" do it, it's wrong when "we" do it.
