Funny how no one whined when the Patriot Act was started.
Is it only bad because of Obama?

What do people think when they support this stuff?
You can't close the door once it's open.

I was against it when that was passed as well, but the media in conjunction with the "War on Terror" kept me silent online about it.

No More.

No one?
Are you so sure about that....

Remember the majority of people on this forum, supported Ron Paul, by the poll results taken here, on this very forum. Your singing to the choir.

This current administration has proven more obviously that any rights compromised are lost forever.
Democrats have always pushed the limits of abusing laws and this is another one.
They have also proven to have done nothing when thay could have in the boston bombing, and for all we know they engineered it like the mass shootings that are going on as well, that had been a rareity in the past.
Only a stupid ass would fall for the current behavior of the government lately. but I guess there are plenty of them around.

No, because there are other ways of making life miserable here for illegals or using US troops to secure OUR border instead of other countries territory.

Remember the other day, I said that in all of the years that I've been here you have NEVER criticized the left. This is more proof of my point. You are so strident in your dogma, you will NEVER say anything critical of anyone on the left and ALWAYS deflect.

Nope. The threat is so astronomically obscure, there is no justification.

Doesn't matter if you do or don't support the spying on Americans. Billions of dollars are being spent to construct dozens of buildings with over 1 million square feet, 25 miles south of Salt Lake City UT to monitor every phone call, internet usage, credit card purchase. Do you feel any safer?
