It is manifest that you are the one in the wrongful world. An "adult" who has "grown" past the point of seeing that the right to live is worth more than the obverse, is "mature" like a piece of rotten cheese is "mature."

Sorry HiTech, but we don't really have any rights now.
If it looks like your going to be a problem, they just shoot you.

I like it, I love, and I want more of it. Let's whack those terror cells right here.

Property siezure is too easy in the U.S., as is snooping on financial records.

The time to leave will be soon, and the time for my money to leave is now.

Also, read my tagline. The REAL BIG cost of these kinds of laws is that I would not fight to defend the Ashcroft Nation. Nor will my kids. You better be ready to re-up because this place can go to hell in a can of anthrax for all I care.

When the government recinds all emergency powers and colors inside Constitutional lines I'll reconsider.

[Lazamataz]

what the san antonio current and how come I haven't heard of this signing by any other news source?

Christ. Denial has gotten to the point that they even deny the existence of the law.

H.R. 2417, INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION AGREEMENT OF 2004 [Dec 13 2003--President Bush Signs Patriot Act II ]

Now I suppose you'll claim that someone hacked the Whitehouse web site, and that the bill never was signed after all.

[Lazamataz]

I like it, I love, and I want more of it.

Yes, we know.

But I want to know just how many of your fascist urges you brought from your Democrat party.

Would you support arrest and unlimited incarceration without any trial whatsoever?

Would you support summary execution upon arrest?

Would you support complete revocation of the Bill of Rights for all people in order to assist the War on Terror?

[Lazamataz]

Kevin, looks like you are coming around. I'm glad to see you (finally) become alarmed at the sweeping police-state powers being amassed by this (and the previous) administration.

[Lazamataz]

I did a cursory look at Google ..nothing comes up .Which leads me to suspect it is a bogus story(coming from a San Antonio paper)

Yep, another of those belated birthday gifts...
As with most gift giving occasions, not all gifts are liked.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

...And to add salt to our wound, they refer to these losses of an American citizen's privacy as the 'Patriot' Act - I and II (one can assume there will be more)...

I'm late to this party and haven't read to the bottom, but what will come next guaranteed is the new extreme version of the AWB. Can't have arms in the hands of the sheeple.

Oh, it will be for our safety, and the safety of the "children", but it's coming.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

...This is not a kingdom, it's a representative republic...

Not any more.

[verity]

So far under the Bush administration we have lost the first, fouth, and tenth amendments.

At least the Administration's ability to piss you off has not been lost. lol.

You better be ready to re-up because this place can go to hell in a can of anthrax for all I care.

Then stop posting to me. You ought to be packing and getting ready to go...to France.

[sinkspur]

Keating's a flake, and so are you for posting this drivel on FR.

You're also thoughtless, by gumming up Jim's disc space instead of posting a link to it.

[PGalt]

Geat! Go President Bush!

[sinkspur]

Sorry. My #116 was posted to the wrong thread and to the wrong person.

[billbears]

Thanks for the link. Looks like more Christmas presents and no one told us. < /sarcasm> Please see the link at #110.

Our rulers do as they please, and I will too. My taxes are far more than they deserve. They'll not get any more than that. It isn't me that has devalued this nation. It is vile laws like the Patriot Acts.
