"You are right no doubt. I have supported Patriot with the proviso"

Nothing like having it both ways huh? hahahaha, you are very foolish if you think government will not use every tool it has to consolidate all power unto itself. Too bad we no longer have a Constitution to restrain government.

In time of war I would rather on the side of more expanded powers of government than not. Yes, I'd rather be a bit less free than dead. I know that is anathema to the shortsighted and pollyannish libertarians and Leftists, but we are fighting a war that will take time to finish. During that time I am willing to give up some certain freedoms in order to win it.

"Too bad we no longer have a Constitution to restrain government."

You are way over the line on that one.
