[Cato]

Patriot Act=Enabling Act

To better ENABLE the Government to RULE over the Nation and it's REAL Patriots, the common working man in a GENERATIONAL WAR(Bush says the WOT could go on for generations) for the betterment of the One Worlders and the Treasonous Elites in our nation.

Damn the Constitution, Full War ahead,

"The nature of the conduct engaged in by a [terrorist] enterprise will justify an inference that the standard [for opening a criminal justice investigation] is satisfied, even if there are no known statements by participants that advocate or indicate planning for violence or other prohibited acts." (Emphasis added.) That conduct can be Simply "intimidating" the government, according to the USA Patriot Act.

This is something out of some Communist Nation. What gives with Dashing Danforth??

Shall we all continue to support this kind of thing?? Seems as though he is sick and not feeling well. This just isn't the Old Jack I once knew, yes I have met him, and who I once liked so very much.

You are Not very smart or you can't read.

You would have loved "The Enabling Act".

And you display the all too frequent arrogance of the third party cultist...if someone disagrees, then it must be bcause they are NOT very smart, or can't read. This is one of the main reasons your circle jerk phone booth convention membership is so small. The we-are-the-only-true-partiots-and-interpretures-of-the-intent-of-the-Founders crap that drives so many away from you (not to mention that so many of your canidates are kooks or law breakers.) I have read the Federalist Papers. I have read the Anti-Federalist. I have read the Constituion. I have read the letters and essays of the Founders....don't need Cato to interpret for me.

You guys????

Lets try this again. You upset me with your flippant answer. I apolgise.

Ashcroft/Bush say:

"From page three of these ASHCROFT terrorism FBI guidelines":

"The nature of the conduct engaged in by a [terrorist] enterprise will justify an inference that the standard [for opening a criminal justice investigation] is satisfied, even if there are NO KNOWN STATEMENTS by participants that ADVOCATE or INDICATE PLANNING for violence or other prohibited acts." (Emphasis added.) That conduct can be simply "intimidating" the government, according to the USA Patriot Act.

You want to tell me how you can infer anything when NO STATEMENT is made by the participants that ADVOCATE OR INDICATE they are PLANNING for violence or other prohibited acts?????

How about that, "The nature of the conduct engaged in by a [terrorist] enterprise.."

Listen, the nature of a terrorist organization is it's ACTIONS.

MERELY???,that conduct can be simply "intimidating" the government, according to the USA Patriot Act.

The government CAN NOT be intimidated. It has the BIG, BIGGER, BIGGEST GUNS in town and all this talk of intimidation is BS my man and Insulting.

Bush and Gang just want silence from the people and it will be bought at any Cost, according to their own literature. Shame on them and Shame on you for supporting this.

All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do or "SAY/WRITE" nothing.

Regards,
CATO

I disagree Cato. I do not believe this is a "grab" for power by Bush, as was suggested. We are talking about people who have vowed to kill us all. We are not talking about anit-big government types. Most of the time, those who scream the loudest about this, are the same who claim the sky is falling with almost ANYTHING government. If you will grant me, and I think you will (you are one of the nicer, patient voices at FR), I think there is a Chicken Little Sky is Falling over reaction to this. I know that there is the posibility that millions of our citizens could be killed if we do not allow our own government some powers to act swiftly against those who WILL kill us if allowed to. Regards and respect, Impeach.
