  • Now the government decides you are dangerous, and the military arrests you, and puts you in jail indefinitely.

  • "But no amendment is absolute." Charles Schumer

  • Ron Paul is great on the topic of civil liberties. Dont forget about NDAA that Obama passed. Ron Paul has written a provision against the indefinite detention, i suggest everyone support it.

  • The Patriot Act was used by the DHS to retaliate against a whistleblowing employee, Julia Davis. She was branded a domestic terrorist for having the temerity to defend herself against spurious charges. Late actress Brittany Murphy was also targeted for refuted a false accusation against Davis. Despite the celebrity connection, the case goes unreported in mainstream media.

  • Why do they take away good presidents example, abraham Lincoln did good change an was planing to make greater ones. John F Kennedy a miracle president that was doing so much good. The white house enjoys fascist running the white house

  • 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."

  • @harrisonconstantinou Nazi was socialist in name only. Fascism + socialism=oxymoron.

  • @scottandrewhutchins obama fascist + socialist equals NAZI
