Do you mean more than the fact I have to send about 40 pages of my families detailed personal and financial information that I'm required to send to the IRS next month? ...

And I am sure they asked if you have any guns in your house. And then asked if they were loaded. Next they are going to ask if we have any porn movies in the house.

Not writing us off here, but we might start to look at ourselves before God as to why that man is where he is (much to our chagrin now).

The Patriot Act was supposed to be used to catch evil terrorists which is why the left hated it. This will be used to destroy law abiding enemies of the left which is why the left (that automatically means 99 % of media) is silent.

I assume they know I have guns since they made me fill out the paperwork when I bought them. I assume if we don't have any porn and condoms we are now liable for a fine?

I don’t here them complain about personal privacy when it’s related to the IRS, which makes the patriot act pale by comparison.

Only if you paid for the condoms.

The Patriot Act is really beside the point; the real issue here is the Thug-in-Chief who lives in the WH.

I see the real problem is that too many people are fine with police state measures like the Patriot Act as long as they think 'their' thug will be Chief. They never consider what will happen when power inevitably shifts.

Pretty bad bets. Udall is up for re-election in 2014 and Wyden in 2016.

the last time Congressional Dems started poking their noses into the Patriot Act, anthrax started showing up in their mailboxes.

Interesting that two Dem Senators seem to be picking a fight with the Obama administration.

When socialists reveal their true agenda, it is their supporters that recoil in horror at first. Then, those former supporters are sent to the gulags.

It happens in every socialist takeover throughout history.

They are only saying this because they know
a republican will be president shortly.
If Obama was going to be reelected you wouldn’t
hear a word out of them.
