  • George Orwell foretold everything that is hapenning in the USA. Keeping the population scared by a fighting pointless wars against a highly exaggerated enemy in order the take more freedoms.

    What a great man he was

  • @SpasticatedCunt doubleplus good, that.

  • "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin, February 1175

  • I am a Christian too, but I beleive that we are called to stand, having done all to stand. Some are called to battle, but not in the way the government and media call for. For our weapons are not carnal but spiritual..we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers of the air and rulers of darkness in high places...please see John Todd, Fritz Springmeier, and book of Ephesians...thanks

  • All this doesn't matter. Its like a sitcom. I believe Jesus is "my" savior and tyranny will soon end. I do not know or care about your beliefs. I have personal proof of the truth in jesus. I only hope for your sake that some of you open your minds VERY SOON

  • I don't understand what's THAT terrible about the US getting attacked. Other nations around the world get attacked by the US almost everyday and they don't act like fucking martyrs about it.

  • The patriot ct isnt a conspiracy, its just an unconstitution, and completely fascist. Ashton Lundeby is a great example of this.

  • Everytime I write something on Youtube I'm asked to give a pass word. Why ? I guess just to make sure the police come to the correct user. On extermination day.

    It's absolutely no wonder the rest of the world is worried about the American Agenda. So am I!

    First it was arrogance now it's global domination including it's citizens. People, watch the movie made in 1948 called "1984" it's an eye opener for sure.

  • @TheBelldiver I agree with you totally! People think the globalists are either misunderstood or are demonized by the conspiracy theorists. When are people going to realize that true evil did not die with Hitler or Chairman Mao? If the globalists learned anything from history it is that they have to be sneakier to accomplish their goals! And about the "password": It's to ensure that you are a real person, not a bot spamming the comments section.

  • "We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest." - James Warburg (Rothschild Banking Agent 1950)

  • "If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." -James Madison

  • a whole repeal is needed

    "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice."

    "Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue"

  • Terrorisim is nothing more than a tactic, how is it that you can wage war on a tactic ? It's not the same as waging war on a country. Terrorisim has been around since cain slew abel.

  • a lot of people are missing the point,2 new laws have been inacted,1 allows the president to declare martial law for almost any reaso,and in so doing strip you of all your rights,period and he can also suspend normal elections indefinatly.and deploy tus troops on american soil.,and with the patriot act arest anyone.just by saying they are a suspected terrorist.tap your phones,read your mail,enter your home without a warent.is this america or is this china or rushia.

  • The thing of allies is this. We give guns, food, medical supplies to rebels and assist them in taking over their country. All we hope is that in are future they do not turn those guns on us. It happened, and now we pay for it.

  • @VanHollam So,,, we gave them planes?

  • I have news for you... The only terrorists in the whole world reside in Washington DC.

  • @radroofer Not to mention the fact that they funded the mujahadeen aka "al queada" to get the Russians out of Afghanistan or did most forget that down at ( D )istrict of ( C )riminals ?

  • @sr71ablackbird Most probably have forgotten, I have not.

  • The real terrorists are those that fund both sides of a war.

  • All I really need to say about the patriot act /watch?v=gFVQ0HZz2mc

  • if u look at the Patriot Act it is hard to believe that this bill was prepared and signed into law in the time frame between 9-11-2001 and 10-26-2001..this isn't a normal bill.. it is made up of page after page of other laws that were amended by this bill to give the government unprecedented powers to suspend the constitution...this bill had to have been written well before hand ..there is noway they could have gone thru all those laws and amend them in the way they did without premeditation

  • More propaganda, Why don't they talk about after the planes were all grounded, that Bush helped the bin laden family fly out of the U.S. ? or the fact about Building #7, and both towers. And the Passport of one of the so called Terrorist that flew the plane was found on the ground undamaged ?? strange Eh !

    War ? they should call it thinning the population. To Many Unanswered questions.

  • @nikeovic What's up with your conspiracy?Your saying that we sent are troops for nothing and are being sent on a wild goose chase?Yeah very realistic

  • This is bull. I dont need no book. I have my proof from real good brave americans that are being murdered everyday. SEE aaron Russo, Ted Gunderson, Brice Taylor, Chip TaTum.

  • Hitle said fatherland, bush said homeland, about 4.5 million people homeless in Iraq alone, destroy the country to save it, fuck the illuminati at the top of the masonci pyramid, children deserve love and respect and a life without harm.

  • @theJsmth1234

    ummm I think it is...

  • The "patriot act" should be renamed to the "traitorous act"

  • Great read Mr. Ibbetson, I used your book as my primary source for a resaerch paper in POL 120, got an A. Loved your analysis.....thanks for blocking that idiot PUREMEXICAN4...idiots like them are too prevailant on this medium and need to be shunned as the illogical morons they are....any more books you are working on?

  • So let me get this straight...If you write some words on paper that's going to stop terrorism & keep us safe ?Funny how the people FUCKING you use words to justify force.....

  • ibbetsonusa, the point you are missing is that when you give up freedom for security, you get neither

  • @TheJsmth1234 the point you are missing is when you are dead, the whole issue doesn't matter. It is possible to live and have freedom at the same time.

  • @ibbetsonusa "The point you are missing is when you are dead, the whole issue doesn't matter", then what the hell did all those buried at Arlington and Normandy die for? Freedom for posterity or so a government can spy on its people for posterity? When you say it's better to give up freedom just so you'll live is an insult to all those who gave their lives. They gave their lives for freedom not surveillance. Support of crap like the patriot act proves the war on terror is a farce.

  • @ciccone39 Of course you missed the point. I never said people who served and dies so for nothing. That is an insult which makes me feel you are a liberal. You can have security and civil rights, its not one or the other. Patriot Act, no cases a abuse brought forward in the courts. Are you a conspiracy nut? war on terror is a farce. Are you one of the time foil heads that think the U.S. blew up the towers? Soldiers so we would have the freedom to make good decesions with our freedom. Try it.

  • @ibbetsonusa You're wrong. In 2004 a man named Brandon Mayfield was had the patriot act used on him and a court ruled the law was not only wrongfully used against him but unconstitutional. Of course I'm not surprised you resort to that old divide and conquer tactic of calling me a liberal simply because I disagree with you. Of course if you support giving up rights and freedoms that's American, that's patriotic. The US is slowly more and more becoming a police state and you're too asleep to see.

  • @ibbetsonusa Also, police are shown how to use the patriot act in domestic, non-terror related cases against US citizens. It's a fact. The war is a farce because if we are fighting "them" over there so we don't have to fight "them" here, then there is no reason for warrantless spying. Proof the war on terror is a farce. Read Fletcher Prouty's books and you'll learn how nothing JUST happens. Everything is influenced by the shadow portions of agencies like the CIA.

  • @ibbetsonusa John Stockwell will tell you the same thing. These are men who were there and lived through it. It's all a farce. All for the profit of the military industrial complex and the politicians who profit politically. I'm sick of you stupid fake conservatives telling me give up my rights or some turbanheaded boogieman is going to get me. Those turbanheaded boogiemen in Afghanistan are nothing but opium running mafia-dons and that's the truth. All US soldiers there have died for is smack!

  • @ibbetsonusa you can not bring cause of abuse forth with out serving 5 year prison sentence for even mentioning any action taken under the patriot act. the patriot act directly violates the 1st 4th, 5th , 6th, 7th, 8,th and 14th amendments of the constitution. Read it.

  • @masluxx Your absolutely wrong. People and organizations file suits against the governmnet for the Patriot Act all the time. You made up the 5 years thing or got terrible information. Show me where the Patriot Act violates the amendments you state. Give an example from real life. Show some proof. I won't hold me breath.

  • @ibbetsonusa if you have read the amendments to the constitution i mentioned and the interpreted powers granted by the patriot act it is self evident. do a little research, read the constitutional amendments. Can hold some one w/o charges, w/o lawyer, for as long as they like, blank writs of search. read it the constitution do your research. I assume you have never been in the military nor held a security clearance or you would know what the 5 year (or other sanctions) thing is

  • @masluxx I can tell you are angry and that may be making you talk out of turn. I have read the consititution and studied the Patriot Act before for over hree years before I wrote a book on it. Most of the chapters come from peer review journals. I asked you for proof of cases of abuse and said I would not hold my breath. Glad I said that because you came back with nothing. Be specific, If you are talking about sneak and peek, its been challenged and held up in court as constitutional.

  • @ibbetsonusa You are correct i am mad. The patriot act combined with the repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act gives any president that would like to be dictator an easy path.. You do see how the two are related and how they could be abused no? A quote "It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own."

    ~Thomas Jefferson ~ my option T.J. writings are full of light.

  • @masluxx With all respect, you should actually read my book. I have a full chapter on those that oppose the patriot act and their concerns. I also cover the number of arrests and convictions of terrorists that have come from the law. The number of terrorist plots and conspiracys that have been disrupted with the law. I will agree with you that the law could be abused, like any law can be. When I was a chief of police some wanted to take away our guns to avoid potential abuse. Not a good idea.

  • @ibbetsonusa I am ex-law enforcement(and military). I am very pro law enforcement. I have seen how people over time bend the rules further stretching it. How even LEOs under the guise enforcing the law time and again broke the law in the same manner. A Quote "Idealism, the light that shines, showing the way things could be good. Pragmatism the path to get what you want. If we want to be good should we not try to walk a path towards light?" ~of mine~

  • @masluxx Some LEOs that have done wrong so, should we stop having law enforcement? Of course not, instead we hold people accountable for what they do. It's the same with the implementation of laws including the Patriot Act. Built into the Patriot Act is the requirement for congressional review where they have to say who they arrest and for what. It's not a perfect situation, it's not a perfect world. I have that in the book as well. I am not opposed to the sunset provisions as well.

  • @ibbetsonusa Seems you have a lot of faith in those that seek power to control there impulses to gain more. That only terrorist can do evil. On the other hand i see in all men the ability to do great good, and the ability to do great evil. I believe, sometimes though mans short sightedness, great evil can be done in the name of goodness. Even evil doers think they are doing good. They have a tendency to discounting their effect on others and their ends justify their means..

  • @masluxx I have to admit I am not a moral relativist I do see right and wrong. For instance I don't think that America and the terrorists are all equally right or wrong. I think the terrorists are bad and I side with America. I think America is truly a good nation and worth protecting. We are also a nation of laws, we have a process to create laws and its a pretty good system. We should never turn our backs in protecting this country. I have faith that the terrorist will kill those that are weak

  • @ibbetsonusa in this we i think we agree, American is a great country because we are a country of laws.... I have lived in 3rd world countries(in the military). what separates us from them is not the ideals, but the enforcement of those ideals though law. The ideas in the Constitution are not unique, but our willingness not to sacrifice those ideals, to make the hard decisions and take what some times is the hard path in defending those ideals always has been unique.

  • @ibbetsonusa PS i have enjoyed this discussion, it has been a pleasure discusing a hot issue on youtube with out the normal mudslinging, name calling childish antics that tend to plaque areas with so much autonomy. Autonomy the other and more formal definition is am interesting idea seems the authors of the patriot act believe in the autonomy of their enforcement personnel.

  • @ibbetsonusa All this double speak/think of to have freedom we have to sometimes give up freedom is bullshit!

  • 1933, nazis burn down german reichstag and blame it on terrorists, Hitler urges lawmakers to pass something similar to patriot act, is this just a case of history repeating itself?

  • the patriot act was existent before 911, they were waiting for a catastrophic event to enstate it

  • TheJsmith1234

    You look like a liberal troll with an empty channel account. Do you have any proof that the patriot act was already around before 9-11? Just a troll alert before you answer. If your answer is "no" which is going to be the case of you are honest. Just remain silent.

  • they got impatient, huh?

  • Your joking right? Whoever calls themself a patriot and supports this authoritarian act, is a complete lier. You are no patriot.

  • FUCK YOU IBBETSONUSA U FAGGOT

  • Puremexican4

    Blocked!

  • some people are just very intent on defending their slavery

  • Don't you mean Ron Paul?

  • I like how "conspiracy theories" shows a picture of anti war protest... The reason so many people die in the war on terrorism is because the government is invading counties. Not saving americans they send them off to die. More americans have died in the war then on 9/11. And if you read the "Patriot Act" you would see that every crime no matter how small is an act of terrorism and needs no evidence or trial. The land of the free my ass!!!!!

  • if you truely love america, you will defend it from all enemies forign and DOMESTIC!

    its time we secured the blessings of liberty.

  • @CaleS3 jesus you are delusional. land of the free my ass its called internment, we have had in northern ireland from the 'troubles' in the 70s. what happened to innocent until proven guilty? everyday joe makes a comment about the war on terror/obama/ government........police raid home, drag joe into a police landrover (meatwagon in n.i) beat the crap out of him, throw him in jail with no trial and leaves him to rot indefinitely. that is not justice that is fascism. just wait for it.

  • @CaleS3 So will you fight this, submit to this, or run from this treason?

    Will you help to un-do these injustices, or placidly accept them?

    It's easy for both of us to talk while feeling safe, but do you believe in the words you write enough to die for them? To die for the preservation of freedom?

    If not than please, don't write such hollow words they will only blow away with the winds of change or be crushed by the hammer of oppression.

  • @CaleS3 YES!!! and ignorant americans like my moms husband is barely realizing it with his retirement that of his own gov that he gave his life to protect for 20 years in the army are taking away his health insurance

  • I will stand up against any kind of attacfk against my properity by these a-hole if they try and pull this Pariot act b.s. with me. I care not for what laws they wish to follow. I will send them packing with my own armada that Iu have. this is private properity and they will be shot. I bet nobody here even cares about your freedom anymore, just let the government deal with it they know what their doing....damn sheep. All of you for things that this is helpful in anyway to society.

  • if u love ur country u wouldnt want all these bogus ass laws!

  • "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

    - Benjamin Franklin

  • @jwh30385

    That is a great point. However, so is: they who die at the hands of terrorists, are also in a bad way. The Patriot Act catches terrorists and does not violate people rights. That is just the way it is.

  • It does violate people's rights though. Under the Patriot Act ake Military Commission Act, the government is legally allowed to come to your house and detain you without any warrant or due process. You are not able to question your own arrest, you have no rights, and the government is allowed to torture you. This is a direct violation of the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th amendments of the US constitution. If the terrorists' aim is for us to lose freedoms, the Patriot Act ensured their victory.

  • jwh30385

    I think the terrorists are not that concerned with curbing our civil liberals, I think they want to kill us. But the question of losing civil liberties is very important. If you really want to talk about what is really in this law past all the fear talk, I will walk through it with you respectfully. Give me some actual mainstream cases of abuse with the law, or a specefic and I will tell you about it.

  • @ibbetsonusa how about Granville, NC March 5. 10 heavily armed fbi agents and three local cops raid and arrest Aston Lundby. He was held for over two months. What's up with that?

  • @dbehr74

    I had never heard of the case and when I googled it, it only came up with blog spot comments. Might send me a mainstream news report before I can comment on it.

  • @dbehr74 its what we in northern ireland call internment. its has been around from the 70's and was introduced to combat terrorism during 'the troubles'. it is much the same as the patriot act. in general it means average joe can joke "i'm going to blow up parliament" 5mins later the police are kicking down his door, throwing him into a meatwagon giving him a swift kicking enroute to the station, throwing him in jail WITHOUT a trial and throwing away the key. bullshit!

  • @ibbetsonusa are you completely insane? Have you even read the unpatriot act? Wake up!!

  • @dbehr74

    Yes, I know of that book. It had no affect on how I think about the law.

  • have you read the act itself?

    i read part of it, it promotes racial profiling, and literally says that rights are reserved for times of peace!!!

    "when you give up freedom for security, you will have neither"

  • Compliance is always better than violating the law in criminal acts of dissent against the government.

    If you compromise the safety of our National Security, you will be swiftly dealt with, our Government is the only protection we have against global Terrorists.

    Any presidential resolution or newly enacted law our Government decides to enforce on its people, should not be misconstrued as ending our freedom, but rather a support mechanism that so many of you common folk just don't understand.

  • If you're talking about global terrorists why do we need to give up our freedoms here. Anyone who would give up their freedom for security deserves neither. That was Ben Franklin 200+ years ago and it's still true today. Have you even read the patriot act?

  • You, are one sad, sell-out, disgrace to your country, piece of shit! if you really have this kind of mind set. You have NO idea what real patriotism is. The Patriot Act is unconstitutional and a small part of ending our freedom. But you obviously live in fear and will give up liberty for security. Just try to fire back. I'll eat you off the table! LIBERTY OR DEATH MOTHER FUCKER!!

  • What kind of idiot are you? My book gives both sides of the issue, is that what has got you going nuts? Have you read my book? I bet not, just some conspiracy theory assclown trying to tell me what is in my book without ever turning a page. I went to your channel, you have (1) friend, I know why, you are an asshole!

  • Whoa whoa whoa! I did not direct my comment to you the author. My comment was a reply to a comment from AdministrativeDept who was basically saying give into the government tyranny. As far as friends go i don't pay attention to that kind of stuff on here that much but if you take another look you'll see i have more then just one.

  • and i was going to actually purchase your book, i was interested....but after seeing you verbally assault someone with an opposing view, it seems the author does not have much dignity or any other quality that come with such a characteristic, rendering any written work of yours: useless and abject.

  • If you don't believe in defending yourself when someone is directly attacking you, I don't think my book would be for you in the first place.

  • i believe in diplomacy and mild mannered discussion to reach an objective, or at least advance a cause in the right direction. you seem like an educated person (i say this with reservation, your reply may blow that idea into oblivion) but why in hell would you even stoop to the level of nimrods "directly attacking" you or your book, take it with a grain of salt.

  • If you like mild mannered discourse, then you should have been offended by the personal attack that was placed on me that was void of any facts from the book. That is what is strange here. You seem to be much more upset that I would defend my self. Look at the comments, I reply to very few. If you fail to defend yourself each and every time you are attacked, history has shown us you embolden the attackers. Don't be insulted by someone who stands up for themself, be insulted by someone who won't.

  • im not upset at the fact that you defended yourself, more so in the manner in which you did it. bottom line is i dont care what the other guy said. you are in a credible postion, u are the owner of this video and the author of this book, therefore making you much more accountable to the words and actions you use to reply to members of the site. it has only proven to be bad for business thus far

  • What you just said is also very interesting. I am all for being accountable. I certainly won't give others a free ride when they attack me because they are lazy or have not accomplished anything. You may think differently when you are the subject of the attack. If you do find yourself in my position, feel happy if you only have to suffer a couple words with "ass" in it. I have endured much greater. I have actually had pretty good business being honest with people with this book.

  • i appreciate your convictions, i will give you that much. i just think courteousness and good manners solve more problems than not,but carry on however you are now then. thats whats great about the free enterprise system, there is no right or wrong way to generate a profit...there are only suggestions

  • We just had a very rational discussion and I wish all disagreements were this way. I agree with you that professionalism is always the best road. Your points have obvious merit that are not lost on me. You are certainly welcome to check out the book in any manner and send your thoughts at any time.

  • thank you...now on second thought i believe i will take a gander at your book, iam interested in the patriot act and all it entails, which is why i stumbled upon this site in the first place

  • Certainly, that is said in jest, and NOT to be taken seriously?!?!? Our founding fathers would totally disagree.

  • I'm pretty sure this is a joke...

  • okay im just wondering, DONT HATE ME FOR WHATEVER I SAY, but...

    have any of you guys seen Zeitgeist?

    (im just wondering.)

  • I seen it

  • Is the Patriot Act a misunderstood law that will make us safer or the beginning of a police state? Please see the "Miami Model"...

  • if by saf eyou mean locked up in a cell or dead yes

  • It was a sarcastic question guys-guess you didn't pick up on that?...

  • This book will not explain shit, except how to continue to shred the constitution!! And as far as the indefinite detention idea that is blatantly unconsitutional as well!!

  • don't be real. It's simple, hide yourself, hide your family and present them with a big, sloppy smile or be homeless.

  • it pleases me when bad things happen to those that do evil. my rights were not only violated but the pigs profitted off me using their evil program. yes it sure pleases me when bad people get their due.

  • SAVING American lives? Are you serious, dude?!! I know about the facts: wiretapping, throwing people away that disagree with the government, and the destruction of the constitution. These are okay with you? The sad thing is that there are so many others like you that won't investigate further than the "official" government story because you think they could never do anything wrong. YES, THEY CAN!! They will keep on doing it, too, since no one opposed them, and it will keep getting worse.

  • "Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts - not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."-- Abraham Lincoln

  • Great post.....thank you

  • all white with no windows,thats not a boing plane,more like a cargo plane)i could go on and on but the video loose change ismore in depth and explanes it better

  • easy as this, the patriot act is unconstituional and violates the first 7 amendments, and so thus who ever made such an act should be prosecuted in court! easy as that! violation of the first friggin american laws and liberties, thus able to be prosecuted!

  • boxa888

    the courts have upheld the patriot act for 8 years and have it to be constitutional. Not as easy as that.

  • but how?? you cant say that the words of the constitution can be changed i believe its amendment 7 or 8 that sayes that no amendments can be twisted or upheld in any case under rule/judicial rule, which is held by all people of america. this act is thus illegal and also the court who voted it as legal, is even more in trouble by violation and could technically be jailed under constitutional law.

  • Good, I hope when the Constituion is totally recinded, they come for YOU First and lock your ass up!!!

  • you're an idiot.....they won't discriminate you either just because you support the dumbasses.....they'll throw u in there too. Just cause ur a kissass doesn't make you immune to political abuse of power.

  • also iraq atacking america was bulshit,9-11 was a sham,they placed explosives in the buildings and blew them up,(see the vid:'loose change'for the whole story)if you dont believe me ask yourself this,why did the buildings stand for an hour after impact and only THEN turn into dust in 10SECONDS,why did world trade center 7 fall down when it wasnt hit by a plane?why didnt the planes that hit the towers have any markings or logos(boings have plenty of the,that and those planes were

  • The supreme court has ruled that the 50 states are countries with respect to each other but under the 14th amendment system you are participating in rebellion against your de jure country when you vote, through contract as well and that is why you have to pay IRS and so forth.. and are responsible for the national debt. watch all 6 vids for more info please watch watch?v=G1B33IvnJ4M&feature=ch annel_page

  • I take that as a compliment, thanks.

    I'm all for agreeing to disagree... but your beloved patriot act doesn't allow for that.

    ps. And I don't understand what's so nuts about basing ideas on rationale and prove-able facts.

  • Wow. How incredibly uninteresting.

    It's clear from this "which side" the author is on, given he's an ex-police office, in-favour of a police-state. It's funny you try and present this shitty book like it's unbiased.

    If you buy into this (like, literally...) you'd have to be blind and/or mentally-handicapped. All the evidence is in front of your faces, on the internet...and you don't have to pay some shithead to feed you utter bullshit disinformation.

    Wake the fuck up.

  • I would tell you that this book has chapters with people who have opposing views and their evidence against the law, but, I looked at your page and see your someone you cant talk to. Your just another conspiracy nut and I find you incredibly uninteresting.

  • In Star Wars, Palpatine was allowed "emergency powers" in the wake of the Clone Wars. They stretched his term, he increased surveillence, he silenced people who were against the war, and yet the people accepted it because they thought that it would help protect themselves from the CIS.

    And did they win? No, of course not, Palpatine turned a centuries old Republic to a Galactic Empire.

  • Obama reinstated the Patriot Act...

  • Too bad I can't buy this book in Holland.

  • But for those who have read it, what is the message of this book? Does the author argue that the PATRIOT act IS turning America into a Big Brother state?

  • "Give me liberty or give me death," is what Ben Franklin said.

    And I agree with the man that helped shape this country.

  • patrick henry said that

  • "those who would give up an essential lbierty for temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety"

    -Ben Franklin.

  • why the fuck is this rated so high? this guy is retarded...

  • Privacy and security can't be maintained simultaneously. Government surveillance is for the protection of the people. You activists all preach equality yet you take action against safety measures stable governments take to preserve basic human rights?

  • There are better ways to protect people than by placing security cameras all over. Here in Holland, the police only manages to solve about 20% of all the crimes, and it's obvious because they just don't give a shit, but they do place cameras everywhere. A year ago or so, a journalist managed to get a fake bomb into an air plane, no problem. So don't blame me for not trusting the government.

  • In Star Wars, Palpatine was allowed "emergency powers" in the wake of the Clone Wars. They stretched his term, he increased surveillence, he silenced people who were against the war, and yet the people accepted it because they thought that it would help protect themselves from the CIS.

    And did they win? No, of course not, Palpatine turned a centuries old Republic to a Galactic Empire.

  • Look at America. The PATRIOT act was created by George W. Bush to protect America, by removing rights, allowing arrest without warrent and imprisonment without trial, and blocking freedom of speech.

    And thanks to Bush, America is now one of the most hated countries in the world.

  • If he gets killed by a deraged person furious about Bush's actions, I wouldn't be surprised.

  • I like how everyone is upset about the Patriot Act, but noone seems to mind Obama's indefinite detention idea.

  • really can you explain more

  • I don't want to explain it wrong, so just type it in the search and you're bound to find something about it.

  • The Patriot Act is unconstitutional, and therefor unpatriotic. Discussion over.

  • The discussion would be over if there was any truth to your statement. Since no court has ever said that, since the law has been renewed. You remain paranoid and out there with the conspiracy nuts.

  • "No person shall be held to answer for any capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger;"

    5th Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Since "terrorists" are not in any way "POWs", the bill still pertains to them.

  • Lincoln did the same during the Civil War.

  • George Bush is not here. You need a liberal help line to call.

  • Have you even traveled outside this continent dumbass? This country is ridiculous and the main people scared a rich old white people who thinks they are gods gift...well fuck all of you.

  • I have been to many countries, that is how I know that the U.S. is the best around despite being imperfect. But don't take my word, go find a nice communist country and relocate

  • George W Bush if i could i would say this to your face and even let you respond. YOU Sir are nothing more than the golden boy of your father who did nothing miraculous to become our president personally i think you should have been disqualified from the time some1 had the idea for you to RUN for office you fucking puppet STOP THE BUSH CLINTON DYNASTY STOP THE NWO PEOPLE WHY DONT WE DO SHIT ABOUT THIS?

  • -because the majority of people in this world are manipulated into stupid sheeps, we call them sheeple. From their birth, they have been told and learned the news medias are telling us the truth! It is too easy...

  • certainly composted the Patriot Act fast didn't they?

    good post.

  • 1:02 Look at Bush.He is thinking "I didn't want to be president.I could be kicking back smoking a blunt while drinking some kool aid and watch TV while I admire my classic cowboy comic books from back in the day" One of the vampires behind him think "Good boy dumb scapegoat. Now we will have the poeople in our hands. Just don't embarrass us if not people will doubt us." George Bush"I heard you, I'm going to tell my dad" Response "Oh shit,did I said that out loud?Your don't even like you anyway."

    ????????????????

  • What? Geroge is dumb man. He is like a special dude, as in special ed kind of special. George Sr. is exploiting his special ed son. I feel sorry for George W. and I feel enraged at the others how they use him. Poor retard.

  • neolestat13

    the guy you call a retard probably has more education than you (two college degrees), governed Texas, was elected president, have you accomplished anything like that?

  • I'm still a young man going to college, but other than that... come on it is obvious that GW was not born to be a leader, his dad is more likely behind all this interests. Just go along with my funny jokes man. Peace out brotha.

  • neolstat13

    I don't have a problem with you having a problem with GW's leadership abilities, I just think your wrong. I think history will reflect that as well. Peace out brotha

  • Every passing moment is history. Peace out Brotha.

  • There's so much dark corner in U.S. history that you can't help but beleive doomsday is something plausible , i've never understood why the lack of two sided media in america ... Why allow person of interest to own all the media outlet of a nation ? Why not release information on what is truely happening ( 9/11 confiscated photo's etc ) ?

    Would it be because our governement beleive we are idiot who drinks gatorade all day and cannot explain why crop can grow using "toilet water" ?

  • rcde4ever

    You are a case study of the liberal mind. To explain why your socialist thinking is flawed would be a waste of my breath. I'm done with you.

  • Invading another country without provocation, limiting freedom of speech, spying on civilians, suspending habeas corpus. Lincoln did this and today he's considered one of our greatest presidents. Perhaps Bush will someday be seen the same.

  • don't make me laugh, bush will never ever be seen as one of the greatest presidents

    he is the worst in the history and if we get worse, then im not going to live in the US

  • rcde4ever

    Bush worst president in history? Most hated by liberals that would be correct. Must have forgotten the Carter administration.

  • First of all Carter was not the worst president, he was definetely not the best

    Tell me ONE good thing George W. Bush has done for the US

  • tax cuts, killed the dictator in Iraq, and his crazy kids, beat the taliban, two conservative supreme court justices, Oh you only wanted one.....

  • right, cut taxes so the government gets less money to spend, bringing back the defecit

    killed the dictator to provoke a civil war in iraq at the cost of 4000+ americans and more iraqis, beat the taliban only to have them come back resisting and leave afghanistan more of a mess, conservative supreme court justices that allow unconstitutional.... you get it

    but hey, your right, his crazy kids make up for it

  • Tax Cuts good? When we are borrowing Billions from foreign powers? When we will have to raise taxes 100% to be able to start paying back what we already owe!

    The Taliban isn't beaten, we didn't destroy it, we gave it fame, and martyrs. They may not meet as the Taliban for the public any more, but now they have the oppression from Bush as a rally point.

    Judicial posts are supposed to be non-partisan, these are partisan selections.

    And you cheer at the killing of a mans children.

  • Jaggling Need to learn about how the economy works. Can't tax your way out of problem. If you want to talk about unrestrained spending, then you have a topic to go if you also understand that national defense will always be a high cost. If you get worried about oppressing the Taliban, then you are back in crazy town and again I can't help you.

  • I have a background in Business and Accounting, and from that standpoint any entity that spends more than it generates is on a path to bankruptcy. To further lower the amount you bring in increases the rate at which the bankruptcy is achieved. Only through bringing the amount generated in line with that which is spent can an entity be stabilized. Right now with the deficit the government is taking part of its income and spending it on interest, an additional cost which again increases debt.

  • We should have gone back to the gold standard a loooong time ago

  • who knew that the bin laden family put up the venture capital for the bush family's oil business? they never tell ya that do they?

  • To all "Liberals" and "conservatives" Please read the constitution and the federalists papers.Then go and read this "patriot" act.Don't listen to some moron trying to sell a book.Thank you and god bless.

  • bar730

    Oh course those things are in the book but don't let that effect your uninformed rant.

    Thank you and God bless.

  • Hmmm...I agree that was a rant and uncalled for.I was a little irritated at the time{happens to the best of us}.My appologies and God bless you sir.

  • Gog Bless us Everybody
