I am already losing my liberties and a Republican is President.

So, what can't you do now that you could do before? Fly without being searched? What else?

The fastest way for lose liberties is for terrorism to prevail. The Patriot Act is not a threat to liberties, terrorism is. If the Patriot Act prevents terrorism, it is protecting liberties, not threatening them.

I really wonder about some of the people here sometimes.

They are unaware of the loss of liberties in the UK because of IRA successes.

They complain about an alleged loss of liberties but are ignorant of the real liberties that were lost in WW2 and the Civil War. There is no historical comparison between the inconveniences today and the loss of liberties in WW2 and Civil War. Yet, they whine.

I'd say that's plenty, all by itself. While the TSA is strip-searching me and grandmaw,...El Presidente' Boosh is holding the door open at the border for every Jaun, Dick, and Harry to come in. Unconstitutional is unconstitutional...and certainly the beginning of the end of that document and it's accompanying BORs.
