SO it passed the House and the Senate and has been expanded by Congress and Obama.... but it’s still about Bush, giving everyone else a pass?
They are starting to sound like the MSM
There is a lot more than Bush to blame
How many people do you think will only read the title and post something nasty?
This was a post by a READER — i.e. anyone is allowed to post, this is not sanctioned by Hot Air, just because they let it stand. This disclaimer is posted in that section, from the From Hot Air:

This opinion piece you posted is totally inappropriate to continue to blame Bush for everything. First of all, it’s biased and inaccurate and second of all, one would think we have a lot of current, immediate problems people should be focusing on, instead of a “blame-Bush” party.
Crisis/Emergency ==> Urgency to be seen as ‘doing something’ ==> Hasty bill(s) put forth and nobody read or comprehend them ==> Bill(s) passed and thus a lasting legacy.
Ah, well except GW Bush is not president and not only did congress pass the bills, they also extended them.

We are no longer a free nation, the Democrats and Republicans helped create a police state, we are the last bastion of freedom in the world, they are coming for the guns, then, the elites will systematically dismantle the United States of America, we have been fooled, we are all slaves under the socialist yoke! The confederates have won, the Republican and Democrat elites sold us out to the European elites, the civil war was never about slavery, it was about European dominance!
Who is JAZZ SHAW and why did you omit that name and the date the comment was posted at HOT AiR?
That is of course why the rebels tried desperately to get Europeans to intervene, while the Union almost went to war with them to keep them out.
It is patently obvious that if the CSA had won its independence with British and French help those two countries would have had vastly increased influence in N. America.
Daddy Bush said “Read my lips...no new taxes.”
Baby Bush said “I’m with the government and I’m here to protect you” and took our rights under the Constitution and established Homeland Security.
Obama said “Hey, if Bush could get away with taking your Constitutional rights away I can form my own FEMA army and completely enslave all whites and producers in America for the benefit of the other races and those who do not produce.
And so it happens................
I believe the infringement of privacy rights can be traced back to Thomas Jefferson and his minions and then grossly expanded by good old Abe Lincoln and the Radical Republicans.
Who really cares? How long will they listen in as you book a fishing trip in Canada, or you talk to a friend in England?
The only ones upset a libtards that like talking to dictators like Hugo Chavez and Castro.
“....followed in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Washington began treating everyone as a suspect....”
.
With so many muslims inside the country, how can anyone distinguish the wheat from the chaff?
A similar situation happened in 1941 when US Japanese were interned strictly based on suspicion. The suspicion was proven to be unjustified.
Can the same be said about the agressive muslims when it is known that many US born muslims have gone overseas to join AQ?
You’re so full of nonsense, that you can’t see straight!
George W. Bush lives in an exclusive suburb of Dallas, NOT on his ranch in “a remote part of Texas” (which does NOT describe Crawford), as you claimed. The Patriot Act was passed to eavesdrop on phone conversations between suspected terrorists potentially planning a deadly attack in America. To date, it has been VERY sucessful and has thwarted a number of planned attacks.
It sounds to me as though you have gone off half-cocked with less that an quarter of the facts.
If you’re still blaming Bush after 4 years, you drank the kool-aid and joined the left. You really meant to post this on DU, idn’t you?
The Patriot Act, and all that flowed from it, has completely changed this Nation. Further, there is no going back. All the back and forth about Left, Right, etc is distracting window dressing. The patriot Act killed America. And yet SO many here supported it.
Sad.
The article was mocking Democrats. Dunno why you couldn't see that.
No, it wasn’t unjustified. There were Japanese on the West Coast working with the enemy. Also, interning them protected them - they were obvious targets of retribution after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
