"I know it's not biblical, but I am really starting to hate the democrats and the leftists. (I have despised them all along but this feeling is much stronger.)"
When we become aware of an individual or a group of people who put our families and way of life in jeopardy for their darkside agendas, it is very hard not to hate them.
9/11 woke up a lot of Americans who just want to get along with everyone. Unfortunately, some have been lulled back to their narcoleptic state.
I think this individual is making a very silly and untenable argument. I do not think the definition quoted is a violation of the Constitution. If you think otherwise, feel free to explain.
I am right there with you.
I really feel they are a threat to our way of life. A serious threat.
Ah, so that's why we still have an unsecured southern border, and 11~15M ILLEGAL and UNKNOWN aliens in the country you want to give amnesty to.
I get it...
Thanks! that is much better stated and put. I am convinced it is constitutionsl, you are not convinced... I can live with disagreeing! LOL!
I don't think us here at Freep would be suportive of the Patriot Act if we found it being abused...so far, we have not seen this, and it has been useful. One of the beautiful things about the act is that it is not a permanent thing... it is a temporary thing that needs to be reviewed and re-instituted. I think this is the best way to use it a a great tool in the fight against terror attacts, but at the same time, protect US citizens against it being abused....
My only point was that we have to keep our powder dry before we assume that agency "x" or "y" was the source of a given leak. Whoever is pointing the finger at CIA may him/her self be the victim of a "red herring" passed off by the actual leaker. Remember the old adage: "Assume" makes an "ass" of u and me.
Do your own homework......try the FR search engine, google, and freepers who have more spare time than I do right now. I do know that he not to be trusted.
If you read down a little further, you will see where Rev. Mahoney was arrested in the name of "national security" for peaceably holding a sign saying "God Bless America".
It seems that the type of government abuse of citizens which Rev. Mahoney experienced is permitted by the Patriot Act, which is what caused him to make his argument.
Put it this way: Would you trust President Rodham with the Patriot Act? :-)

It is okay to hate evil
Ok, I will. I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that because of Baldwin's piece that Thompson may have been accurate in his reporting. Baldwin goes out of his way in the piece to suggest that Thompson may not be all that forthcoming, yet that his reporting of the incident may still have some merit.
LOL! I don't trust her with IRS!
That is why I posted that part of the beauty of this act is that it is TEMPORARY and needs to be reviewed and re-instituted. see my post #125
hey! Be nice! (lol)
I'm with you. I'm glad that the senate filibustered. Some of the patriot act, namely a certain 16 provisions, need to expire, though I imagine they'll get either a three month or one year extension, instead of the permanent extension the president wants.
Look how the patriot act supporters use fear to try and pass it. It's flat-out disgusting. Live free or die!
LOL! I said "evil", not "eevil", a horse of a differnt color.
Should have gotten a declaration of war from Congress--wouldn't be having these problems now.
LOL!! :-)
Is torture illegal in this instance?
What is the Sunday night address all about? First I heard of it.
