Wow. What world does this guy live in.

What does he do that he has lost freedoms. The Patriot Act has had no effect whatsoever on my freedoms. The only difference I have ever noticed is that it takes a little longer for me to get on base (big whoop) and I cant wear my Leatherman when boarding a flight anymore. Doesn't phase me.

What does he know that makes Bush personally responsible for people who get abortions. As I recall, the only abortion legislation (one way or the other) that has hit his desk was the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban which he signed into law.

Now I admit that I'm not in favor of his decision to continue gun bans and I don't like giving immunity to people who have entered the country illegally, but I never expect to completely agree with my elected officials. That's why I send e-mails, and write letters when I disagree. I'm never going to find a politician that completely agrees with me because there is no one like me.

I'm also have enough sense to realize how I can make things a lot worse. And when I do disagree I don't go off into mindless and inaccurate rants like this Balwin guy just did.

How do you know that the Patriot Act hasn't affected you? Do you have a Nanny Cam that could catch government agents doing a warrentless "sneak and peak" on your house? They wouldn't even have to let you know they were there until they come to arrest you. How about On Star in your cars? Cell phones? Gone anywhere "indiscrete" on the internet?

Give 'em an inch and they will figure a way to take mile. With the Patriot Act, they got much more than an inch. It may not bite us with Bush, but he won't be President forever.
