Can you tell me one freedom YOU have personally lost since the Patriot Act?

Oh the old dunderheadish "what freedom have you lost blah blah blah". You've been hanging with roscoe, sinkspur and kevin? They think they're bright or something when they ask that one.

Where do I start. The Freedom not to have my house robbed by the fedswithout disclosure. The Freedom to not have some a$$hole undereducated imbecile rifling through my medical, financial and whatever other personal info they choose. The freedom to not treated as a potential terrorist. The freedom to have a lawyer and a clear charge and public trial. The freedom not to have a drooling moron attorney general seize power for himself and the exectuive.

Wait.... I knew it was written down somewhere, here it is!

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Amendment VI

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

I'm glad to have shown you this simple English text for the first time in your life. Now you have no excuse for parroting other posters by asking brain-dead dumb assed questions like "What freedoms have you lost...."

The reason why most of us don't answer that question is because it's too damned stupid to dignify a response with.

I decided a long time ago that I'll not get into discussions with people who try to prove their intelligence by call others insulting names. It's pointless.

If you prefer to be killed by terrorist than allow someone to have access to the knowledge you had an appendectomy 10 years ago...who am I to stop you.
