Many on here knew that this and the Patriot Act was going be used against us.
Yes. Supposed good things in the wrong hands, can be devastating.
That’s for sure....but it is a little shocking that OBAMA is much worse than most of us imagined.
Big Brother here we come.

I was always fearful of the Patriot Act, especially giving the government more latitude when it comes to phone tapping, etc. Hubby thought it was a good thing — would help to catch terrorists. I asked him, “It might be fine with Bush in the White House, but what if Hillary became Presdident, and SHE had that power?” That was back when we thought Hillary was the worst-case scenario. Little did we know...
Yes, we did. And we were attacked on FR for it.
I never agreed with the creation of DHS or even TSA. However, I still believe we needed to do exactly what the Patriot Act did. Spy on the Terrorists. It was effective for exactly what it was intended to do.
The real problem here isn't the Patriot Act. It is who was elected. Elections have consequences. Many mindless D voters or fence sitter "moderates" who voted for Obama have no idea what they voted for or what they are going to get. They will not be happy.
Make no mistake, Obama will spy on you no matter what, Patriot Act (used in ways it is not supposed to be used) or no Patriot Act.
He will paint us as Terrorists, no matter what. The Patriot Act was written for people who wanted to bring the Republic down (Terrorists). It was not written for people who want to preserve the Republic (law abiding Constitution followers.)
For Obama to redefine the term Terrorist to include people who want to see the Republic survive as it was intended to be is the problem, not the Patriot Act. If the Patriot Act is the problem, then ANY law is a problem because RATS will always redefine what it means. Look at what they are trying to do to redefine the 2nd Amendment.
The Patriot Act is beside the point. The RATS will do what they want, including redefining words. They have redefined marriage, gender, gun rights, voter rights, how you become a citizen, I could go on. The point is, to them, we are now terrorists. I am not surprised.
