This one needs a good FReep! There should be some screechy libs posting their mis-guided thoughts here. The poll is to the right of the page.

Is that stupid law forbidding cigarette lighters on planes part of the Patriot Act? If so, ditch it.

No, of course I'm not completely serious...

I did nothing but try to vote twice to see if the poll was bogus by voting again - there is nothing to stop you.

Hmmm...when I try that I get a message at the top indicating that I've already voted. Maybe if I change my IP address.

The only problem I have with the Patriot Act is why Enemy Combatants and Illegal Aliens have the same rights as US citizens to begin with?

Maybe if idiot liberals in our government didn't insist on granting the same Constitutional rights to the population in our country highest at risk to be terrorists the Patriot Act wouldn't be necessary.

There are a few of us who have been around long enough to know that a freedom given up is almost never recovered.

To add to my point any U.S. citizen that decides they want to help Al Qaeda should look at page 4 in their Passport under Important Information where it states Loss Of Citizenship.

I cant figure out why they didn't actually enforce it on Johnny Walker when he returned? He should be at Gitmo with the other terrorists?
