The Fed found the keys to the kingdom of unlimited power with the simple phrase "In the name of National Security".
And now I cringe every time I see that as justification for doing things that once required a warrant and justification.
I was against the Patriot Act because of what "could" happen.
As our fear of terrorist grow so does that use of power.

Back then the terrorists were "those foreigners".
The Patriot Act is bad law. It is unnessisary and unconstitutional. It makes American citizens the enimy of the government.
Not necessarily. I'm not for government intrusion, but IF I had your social security number, I could run my own credit check on you, all I would need to do is pay a fee. That's intrusion my friend.
Our government thinks they're doing the right thing by helping prevent further domestic and foreign terror attacks.
Ask yourself, would you rather have some intrusions, or die at the hands of someone who dislikes Americans, or our government?
I couldn't agree with you more. Repeal the Patriot Act and NDAA and disband the DHS. Let's please go back to pre 911 when we could at least imagine we were living in a free country.
It certainly would be nice. I'm not sure it's going to happen as long as you the 2 corrupt status quo parties in DC running things. The problem is, the majority of Americans still continue to vote for these a-holes, so nothing is going to change.

These words are as true today, as when they were first spoken.
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Benjamin Franklin
