Im not American but i have always respected the country for its freedom, you guys have to fight back, not in violence but protests, the patriot act must not exist. If it does your countries freedom has been destroyed.

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

Quote - Benjamin Franklin

[Robert Chambers]

Democrats and republicans are the same. No brain no pain

[Global Indefinitely]

Freedom is just an illusion, a placebo and a fantasy, We are addicted to so called freedom, what a bunch of sore losers. Freedom is just a carrot to lure suckers to every mans agenda. Humans are not born free, but we are enslave by principles, hunger, religion, peer pressure, mother nature, environment and desire. Read my lips, we are not born free.

[TKarlo1956]

True about the national security threat; it´s the government employees battling the rest of the Americans. A growing war.

[RonPaulTRUTH]

Yea, but whom did cenk vote for? I am sure he stuck his head up his arse and voted for Obama. Pathetic

[Blake Tirado]

You all do understand that no matter how many protests, letter or public disagreement, the government will do what they want. They'll do it just like they've done since the beginning.

[Zompac]

Sounds like the government's too lazy to go to a judge to get a warrant to wiretap us, so they pass this so they can do it whenever they want.

Call your senators! Protest! Write congress expressing your disapproval!

[khoraski]

Democrats and Republicans were both onboard with the Patriot Act. :I

[Crazyman1212]

some should sue the u.s government for using the "land of the free" comment

For once Cenk is right about something. Good on him.
