"This is a good thing. Our focus should be on securing our borders instead of invading the privacy of Americans."
Thank you. The Bushbots are making a mockery out of Conservatism.
Right, lets say we secure the borders NOW, TODAY, which I agree we should do. What are we supposed to do about the scum that infilitrated our country before the border was secured? Say, "oh well, they don't count." I know, the next time an attack happens, we can just pretend that it isn't happening and just pat ourselves on the back for closing down fortress America.
Bottom line, the Patriot Act extends tools to the feds to fight terrorism that are available to fight drug dealers. We have to take care of the reality we face here, and now, not the reality we wish we had.
Well, these groupies are just following the lead of their political hero who, in a meeting with GOP congressional leaders, was quoted as saying: "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It's just a goddamned piece of paper". Now these idiots are trying to void the Constitution with another worthless piece of paper. Political theater is such insanity.
