Nope, not because "we" do not agree, but because there is not much difference between your comments about President Bush and someone dropping by FR from the DUmp. I am sure there is a reason for it, though. If I disagree with the President on something, fine, I disagree. But to start in on him as what I read on here is pretty ridiculous, IMO.

okay

#1 conservative is not the same as Republican...

#2 our system was set up to prosecute crimes, and the punishment phase was to discourage crime...

these days, we need to PREVENT terror..terror is not the same as crime. Terrorists have no fear of consequences. Not to mention that our punishment phase has become a laughing stock..I mean if the lady in Texas had drowned someone else's kids, she would be on death row.....our forefathers would have Padilla hanged, etc...

I understand the need for people to question the Patriot Act on the basis of abuse and constititonality.... the DU'ers oppose the act on the basis of crippling the President and aiding the terrorists. This is the difference between a troll and a conservative that believes in the constitution. I believe in the constitution, but I also believe in the Patriot Act. I do not see them in contradiction of each other. I do see where it can be abused, but there are safeguards IN THE ACT to avoid abuse.

Educating people on the FACTS of the act is the key here, not inferring that those questioning the act as trolls.

This is FR not DU. There are certainly trolls here at times, but NapkinUser is not a troll. Honest debate is warranted with NapkinUser, not knee-jerk reaction, and name-calling.

Remember- I agree with you on the Patriot Act, just not your discourse with one of our own...

I know you probably don't care what I think- but that is the beaty of FR.....and AMERICA..lol
