Howlin, I do not believe, by any stretch of the imagination, that Bush is a traitor. But there is a point where you need to question whether or not it is wise to make the Patriot Act a permanent part of the fabric of our laws. Do not think for a moment that there will not be another Clinton, another Reno who could use something like the Patriot Act for THEIR dirty work.
In all the heady buzz of our side gaining control of the House and Senate, and having a President who is closer to our beliefs as a whole, unlike his predecessor, we cannot forget that it is not permanent.
Now, if we did have another Clinton/Reno type of administration, how easy would it be to label FReepers as potentional threats to the government? Is that what we want? How easy would it be, under a left looney-toon, to deem gun owners "potentional terrorists"?
I am not discussing this act. I'll get to it on a day when I can put some time into verifying whether what is said in this article is even true.
Today I'm watching our military free Iraq. If I hadn't been pinged to this thread, I wouldn't even have looked at it today, as I make it a habit not to make snap decisions until I hear what the facts are.
