Is there anything in the Patriot Act that would concern you if a socialist or internationalist became president and wanted to silence political descent?
Couldn't the same be said about most laws? We probably all break laws every day without even knowing it. The President, whoever it is, is not a dictator or tyrant. The potential for oppression is there already. Is this a reason to discount our security? Like I said earlier, it all depends how much, if any liberty we give up and how much security we get in return. I don't know the answer. That's why I'm asking the question. My concern is that every one who seems to be telling me the PA is a bad thing can't tell me why.
I agree with you. I would like to understand the specifics.
