“I read the same thing in DU rants about Bush/Cheney. Like I said ... paranoia abounds.”
Like I said: shove the “paranoia” bilge.
“Yes. This law does not exceed those limits.”
Actually, yes. “Sneak-n-peak”.
“I’m with you on the border. But, since the Patriot Act was passed, I have noticed no additional government control over my actions, my speech, or the actions of anyone I’ve encountered. No rights have been breached.”
Actually, you just haven’t noticed the increasing data they are now maintaining on you.
>> Like I said: shove the “paranoia” bilge.
I heard you, but the point stands. Paranoia abounds. As do, apparently, delusions of grandeur. The Obama Administration is no more tracking you than Dick Cheney was tracking DUers.
This is a criminal justice and counterterrorist law that has helped us avert terrorist activity and out several terrorist cells on American soil. Had it been in place, and competently used, it could’ve averted 9/11.
We are at war. We cannot hamstring our those sworn to defend this nation, and expect to win ... and our very freedom and sovereignty depends on victory.
I will object to any Obama Administration action, including perversion of the Patriot Act, that I find objectionable. I do not, however, object to the law itself. Victory over islamic fascism is essential to the preservation of the Republic.
