Boehner and Congressional RINOs in the House of Representatives passed Patriot Act extension yesterday. Republicans are sliding back down from the precipice of our collective hope that they might once again embrace freedom, liberty and Constitutional principles, and back to their own progressive vision. I am sure this makes Janet Napolitano, DHS/TSA thugs, and the rest of Obama's Civilian National Security Force very happy - welcome to Police State 2011.

I'm confused.

Didn't Conservatives & George Bush want the Patriot Act to catch muslim terrorist and the Dems fought us on it.

Now, we're the bad guys for renewing it under Obamah?

I still haven’t heard many actual complaints of Americans’ rights being taken away by the Patriot Act even though DU still rails against it almost every day.

Odd that Rand Paul has decide to make his stand on this issue siding with the Dims against national security rather than on criminal law aimed at ordinary criminals. I think most of people want the government to have as much power in the area of national security investigations as they do in the areas of drugs and organized crime.

Now if Rand Paul were to make his stand on such legal tools concerning organized crime and drugs, I would find it more reasonable. But that Paul wants to go back to the time with national security agencies have fewer tools than law enforcement in the organized crime and drug areas is disconcerting to me.

The fact is: Supporters of the Patriot Act are just aiding and abetting Janet Napolitano and Eric Holder to Gate-Rape more Americans...and turn the US into some type of Police State.

Since no one wants to secure the Border....no one really wants to stop Islamic Terrorism anyway. You will not stop Islamic Terrorism with open borders and the Patriot Act
