I didn't say "will it happen", I said, "do you believe it will happen". Do you honestly not know what you think?

Your entire argument here is that the people in control RIGHT NOW would never abuse the power given to them by this Act. By doing so, you are admitting that the powers can be abused, but as long as "people of character" are in our government, it won't happen.

So let's do it again:

Do you honestly believe that only conservative Republicans will be in control of the Presidency and/or Congress for the next fifty years?

And we'll add another one:

Do you believe that the Act in question could be abused by less-than-honorable politicians?

Remember, I'm not asking you to predict the future. I'm asking for your personal opinion, yes or no, without the ridiculous snide comments and "let me just repeat the same thing over and over and over again until people just stop paying attention to me" tactics that you've used time and time again on this forum.

I assume you don't tell the government every April 15th where you work, what your job title is, how much money you make, how much money you have in the bank, your marital status, how many kids you have and their ages, how much you spend on medical insurance, how much your mortgage is, is what you pay or do not pay in alimony, how much you gave to charity, etc....

If you do file a tax return with the IRS, I don't see the point in crying over the Patriot Act, it least it serves a purpose other than stealing your cash so it can be handed over to other people.

What ridiculous snide remarks. All I basically said is that how can you predict the future. You're the one who seems to be afraid of the future.

IMO, one can make his own future, but you seem to be so cynical that a Hillary Presidency is a certainty that you cynically throw up your hands and say, yes it will haapen, no matter what you say or do in the electoral arena.

JMO, but thank God you are not in the foxholes in Iraq with your contagious cynicism.
