That military funding part was referring to taxes.

As for the Patriot act, I'm torn. Is it okay modify the 4th Ammendment because 9/11 changed everything? Or is it the same kind of attack on the Constitution represented by gun control? It is hard to articulate my personal beliefs on this one

Libertarians aren't opposed to all taxes in principle. Even a minimal government must be funded somehow. They're opposed to taxes for activities that are outside of the government's narrow Constitutional mandate.

9/11 didn't change the fact that we have rights.

(For the record, I'm not a Libertarian party member, but I do wish that the Republican party would adopt some of their principles.)

Please tell me specifically how the Patriot Act modified the 4th amendment.
