They're only trying to keep us secure. THis is a different world after 9/11 and we can't afford to put civil liberties ahead of national security in every case. I'm sure the government will exercise great care in using it's power.

Besides, if you have nothing to hide, why would you be opposed to this?

Are you an Ameri-Can or an Ameri-Can't?

Like most liberals, you're too busy hating the president to see the wisdom in this policy. Arguing with you has become tedious because your irrational, near psychotic, disdain for our nation's great leaders taints any valid point you could possibly make.

The truth is, like it or not, our the safety of our nation requires drastic measures. There are evil people who want to harm Americans, and it's the government's job to make sure that doesn't happen. When people like you try to water down the security measures that could save lives, in the name of civil liberty, you don't help Americans. You hurt them.

Hippie.

I really don't understand what you're saying. You talk in large smart people sentences. I'm too busy picking the scabs off my neanderthal knuckles from dragging them down the hall to understand your words. I'm glad I have smart people to protect me and tell me what I can and can't do for my protection and to help the economy.

This is definately NOT one of those things we will look back on in 10 years ang go "What tha fuck were we thinking?!? Polar bears!!"

No way. This is a lasting policy that will help us generations down the line because we are safe! Safe from the evil!!!

Also, I just mailed you a bomb because I don't know any better.

Now it's all clear to me! Bush is trying to take our freedom away so that the terrorists don't hate us for it anymore! It's so simple, yet so brilliant!
Oh, Georgie, YOU are the one doin a hellava job!

Russel Feingold is the only honest man on Capitol Hill.

What gets me is that much of the stuff in USAPATRIOT wouldn't be so bad if it were carried out with judicial oversight rather than by executive fiat. Updating surveillance statutes to deal with cell-phones and such=good. Letting the TLA's do whatever they want and making it a crime to even question their activities=bad.
