Ditch the GOP, and find real freedom! The GOP is NO BETTER than the left. They have rendered themselves irrelevant. Pi$$ on them all.

[hadaclueonce]

too much money being made for this golden pig to ever die.

They should call it the “Anti-Patriot” act because it will be SELECTIVELY used to spy and attack Tea Party Patriots while they let the illegals and foreign visitors on expired visas do whatever the hell their please.

Just like the IRS was used...

[RIghtwardHo]

America died with the passage of the Patriot Act. Not sure if she can be resurrected.

The Democrat in the D jersey would have been better than this Democrat in the R jersey. McConnell is the epitome of what’s wrong with the GOP.

Two Congress Creatures walk into a Bar and sit down.

The Bartender moves over to their place at the Bar and asks “good evening gentlemen, nice to see you again tonight, would you like the usual?”

One of the Congress Creatures looks at the Bartender and says “It’s been a hell of day on the hill, we’ll take the usual and leave the bottles!”

The Bartender says “two glasses, One bottle of Kentucky Bourbon and a bottle of Orange Bacardi Rum coming right up!” as he serves out the drinks and leaves the two bottles on the bar.

One Congress Creature grabs the wild turkey by the neck and is interrupted by the other Congress Creature who Protests:

“Dammit John! Stop trying to strangle me!”

Remember to vote GOP in 2016. They will protect us against big government and Obama. /sarc

It was government incompetence towards illegals and visa overstays that gave us 9-11. Average taxpaying American citizens had nothing to do with 9-11, yet this same government that failed to defend us and our borders can’t seem to buy or implement enough surveillance and theft of rights over average Americans.

Every member of Congress should wear a constant camera and microphone so that we the people that they claim to work for, can keep an eye on what they are really doing.

Watch as Rand Paul votes for it.

"The business records provision is found
in the controversial Section 215 of the bill,
which has been used to justify access to phone records."

The GOP, as a party, ought to be running to STOP the totalitarian snooping. McConnell is sawing off what should be one of the GOP’s best planks.

[Wolfie]

Well, kids, it’s post-9/11 world, you betcha. At least that’s what we kept yelling when they were ramming this through. Let’s Roll!

[zzeeman]

Simply disgusting.

[RedStateRocker]

Plenty of supposed conservatives were fine with it when it was first proposed and passed. Too damned stupid to realize we should NEVER give the government more power under someone we support than we want it to have under someone we hate.

[Amendment10]

Thank you for referencing that article yuffy. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Since the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution the specific power to deal with terrorism, RINO Senator McConnell should actually be proposing a terrorism amendment to the Constitution to the states. And if the states should choose to ratify his amendment, the he would reasonably have the constitutional authority do what he is trying to do concerning his vote-winning terrorism bill.

The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.

[RedStateRocker]

Just for giggles, I went back to pre 2008 posts about the Patriot Act.

Absolutely amazing the craven jack boot licking freaked out ignorant raving some here had on anyone questioning it; histrionics ensued every time part of it was attacked or ruled against.

We need to get rid of it, completely.
No warrant = no surveillance, no searches, no NOTHING. Period

[Fido969]

Well, they didn’t catch the Tsarnaev brothers... because they were too busy spying on REAL American patriots!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I know they won’t but those pukes had better sunset that mother effing monstrosity in June.

[SharpRightTurn]

The justification these Federal Conmen give for spying on their own citizens is to prevent domestic terrorism.

There would be no domestic terrorism if these same Conmen had not imported millions of mohammedans, against the wishes of the citizens.

But will they deport the mohammedans? No, it might hurt their feelings. So, they’ll just have to spy on us.

How about we deport both the mohammedans and the Conmen?

[Impy]

Mmmmmm, no thanks.
