It will take dozens of 9/11s to wake us all up. Did you hear Al queda Gore's speech about repealing the Patriot Act? If a 'rat gets in the White House, you can count on it doing just that. And the Supremes are taking the Gitmo terrorists case. I won't be surprised if they release the barbarians and give them all U.S. visas.
If a Dem gets power they will use the Patriot Act provisions to go after their political enimies, not America's enemies.
