Bullsh-t. What the PATRIOT act actually does is clamp down on the privacy of ordinary citizens, which the Supreme Court just declared as a 'right.'

So if you're a guy buggering another guy in your house it's okay...just don't be counting out $5500 in 20s in your house because you will have been reported to the Feds by your bank, and they could now be watching you and tapping your phones without telling you. They could be eavesdropping on you without a warrant. Eventually they can arrest you and hold you without charging you with a crime.

I find it interesting that someone who lived through such a brutal regime would be so instrumental in the creation of another one.

This Fourth of July I will spend a lot of time lamenting the demise of this Republic.

Bullsh-t....

I agree. A quote I have on my personal website from Southack, at my Free Republic link, states this:

"On the path towards the Rule of Men and away from the tranquility of the Rule of Law, the historical trap has been for good citizens to call upon stricter and stricter government, followed by stronger and stronger government, until government itself becomes so overbearing that it becomes more of the enemy than the anarchy from the Rule of Men.

As the olde maps used to cite: 'Here there be dragons.'" ~ Southack

Four decades of liberalism, multiculturalism, etc., concluding with the Clinton administartion has brought us to where we are. Now we deal with the dragons.
