@Melpheos1er "yes & it has even been extended by the fellow democrats"
I hate the Democrats. They're just as bad as the Republicans. I always cast my fakevote for anyone that's not of either of these 2 asshole parties -- if they're on the ballot, that is. Both Dems & Reps are 2 factions of one, single party -- The Business Party! What a joke elections in America are! They certainly don't represent the people. They represent the interests of those that pay them the most. That's not democracy.
@Melpheos1er Yes! Some people are too blind to see the truth. Both Righties and Lefties sicken me! They're all what's wrong with this country -- and this world for that matter! Sigh. I so wish I lived in a better time, maybe some future society where Man has grown up and matured and gone out of his adolescence. Our current world sucks. Sigh.
Well we already have computers spying on us THATS ENOUGH! Police should not have the right to invade our homes and privacy especially without warrants! Didnt we have laws against this for a reason? As far as the Patriot Act, it should die & disappear! Don't comment unless you have read the Act itself, because I have. If you haven't & comment you youre just talking out your butt & sticking up for something you know nothing about. It's not about anything to hide, it's about our PRIVACY! Peace.
The terrorists WON when we they enacted the Patriot Act. When America loses liberty and the Constitution is eroded, the terrorists win. Bush wanted us to go SHOPPING and act normal, yet when it comes to our civil rights they are stripped. Sheep being herded.
I'm gonna agree with that guy Frank. As a member of "intelligence at the highest levels of government" he seems like he would know more about what he's talking about then any of the other jackasses running their mouths. Fuck the Patriot Act. Don't just let it die, kill it with fire and piss on the ashes!
the Patriot shouldnt be allowed to die, it should be tortured, burned then carried in the streets and spat on by everyone in unison, then shit on, then shoved in dick cheney's mouth.
but big companies have spent billions upon billions more
then they have using it for tracking trends
it might not sound dangerous,but for them to have
a system to no everything you do at every moment
like two of the biggest things they have invested in using it take advantage of our loss off privacy like Facebook and twitter where they take away all of it.
Let it DIE, now! Talk about torture here at home, my god. Those freak ass right wing fundamentalists used this act to go after Anti-war Liberals nothing more. Fuck You Jerry from Pennsylvania, 6000 times, bitch.
its in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, tap the phones all you want to just get a judge to sign off on it. and stop recording phone sex calls from over seas. anyone remember they got caught doing that, better not have phone sex with your wife from out of country they are listening
Don't forget all the homegrown extremist who took part in the Tea Parties, who believe in a limited government, who believe that citizens should have the right to bear arms. We are the ones being targeted by the patriot act.
To start with, if you are going to use derogatory names, I challenge you to call me that to my face. I'm here in RI, so whenever you want to take a trip, bring it on.
Just remember who the ones are standing up now for your freedoms. By letting the government gain more power of control, you only give them all of your liberty, and that of your prodigy.
Number one, nobody used derogatory names, two I dont assosciate with fascists three you're not standing up for anything besides your denial of reality. And quit acting like you're doing something for me. And last time I checked you right wingers idiots cheered for illegal wiretaps, kidnapping, indefinite hold, torture and then you're gonna talk about freedoms and liberty ? Fuck you.
If you don't think that calling some one a "teabagger" is derogatory than you are an idiot! You don't know me, and can't say what I was in favor for or not. Now you can man up, and tell me your crap to my face, or take a hike.
What am I supposed to call you ? Tea party patriot ? Get fucking real. You only wish you bozos were any close to what happened in Boston and so forth. You're living in a fictional world boy. As for you wanting to have a little get together. Ima have to pass. Unlike you, I dont like to suck the cock.
This has nothing to do with Bush did it first you half wit, proving once again you're not worth my time. It has to do do with you idiots calling the Obama administration fascist while you have no grounds for it. Show me where those FEMA camps are, show me what rights are being taken away from you under his administration. Civil liberties were reduced under Bush and Cheney fact, but people put Hitler moustache on the magic negro, go with Holocaust pictures at rally against him. You are morons.
