"Asscroft is a bible thumping Fascist, and people like that scare the hell out of me."

Scares me too. But not as much as the following:

1. The democratic party
2. The United Nations
3. The Hollywood elite
4. The Professors of our universities
5. The ACLU
6. And NGO

You want to worry about your rights? These are the groups trying to take them away from you. They take away your rights of free speech, your right to practice the religion of your choice, your right to self expression, your right to protect your home and family, your right to a jury of your peers. Shall I go on?

"For ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall set you free."

The Bible, John 8:32 And the CIA Motto.

Your point is well taken, but just think if an administration run by Hillery C. had this power, then all of the 'conservatives' on FR would be screaming bloody murder, and rightfully so.

My point is, I trust no one with the awesome powers the Patriot Act gives. Absolute power corrupts...
