Libs went "blah blah blah ...the Patriot Act is a Nazi Law!!"\n\nYet, 3/4 of the Libs/Dems in the Senate voted to renew it.\n\nThis happened even though Reid said he killed it.  And, Dem Feingold said the passage was a sad day for America.\n\nWow... 3/4 of the Libs/Dems voted for it????  They made themselves look like the dumbest idiots on earth after having fought so hard against it.

People preferred safety over freedom. Bad choice on their part.

the government is now democrat and they forgot this....\n\nhow do you think we got our freedom by standing back.\n\nin the public eyes iraq does not deserve freedom like ours.  we need keep fighting the terrorist for the people OF THE WORLD from the terrorist who rule it.  and we are not dictator we are freedom fighters who fight for FREEDOM,  JUSTICE AND LIBERTY.  unfortunitly people lost sight of it  and voted wrong yesterday.  \n\nand morally we are now also headed in the wrong direction.  people need to be responible for their action and not blame it on science or the society.\n\nfinally for the budget there goes the state and national level budget and economy and our taxes.  people what things to be in place for a better country and community.  but who do you think we pay for it in the long run.  we do with our taxes, not with the so called federal and state money people think we have.\n\n country is in a mess thanks to the ungrateful american public who forget how our free

Just in case you were too stupid to catch it, that article is referring to the Patriot Act. Also know as "The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001" < If you think that is bad... well, you shouldn't be starting any political arguments.

you are absolutely right Gina, it is appalling the conservative legislation. I talked to my phillosophy professor who is from Massachusetts, a self-described flaming liberal. lol And I said I don't know why i'm so angry about this that i can't get over that the amendment was passed. \nshe said, is it because this is a free country and people are supposed to have the right to do virtually anything that doesnt hurt anyone else without being descriminated against? I'm like yeah thats basically it. \nshe siad well i'm with ya. solidarity! lol.\nSOLIDARITY!!!!!

OMG! "The document is only available to the certain members of Congress and the Home Land Security."?????\n\nIt is answers like these that EVERYONE should take shame in. There are good liberals who believe that the Democrats are right and can make good arguments against the Patriot Act. I don't necessarily agree with them, but the arguments can be made. Political debate is the cornerstone of our great republic and answers like the two before mine do a great disservice to our nation and the liberal cause.\n\nIf you are a liberal, I challenge you to challenge these two answers.\n\nThe original text of the Patriot Act can be found in a PDF file here:\n\nhttp://files.findlaw.com/news.findlaw.com/cnn/docs/terrorism/hr3162.pdf\n\nAn online, searchable version can be found here:\n\nhttp://www.asksam.com/eBooks/Patriot%5FAct/\n\nAnswerman and Margret_Moses - please take your nonsense elsewhere. People are actually trying to expand their horizons here.\n\nEDIT: You liberals are absolutely amazing. Here someone is trying to expand their horizons, and you CONTINUALLY spread VERIFIABLE out-and-out lies. If you absolutely insist, I will provide your .gov link to the document:\n\nhttp://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=107_cong_public_laws&docid=f:publ056.107.pdf#search='text%20of%20patriot%20act%20.gov'\n\nThat is the website to the Government Printing Office (GPO). Official enough for you?\n\nNow, open version and open the link to the findlaw.com link I supplied. Notice anything funny? HEY!! IT'S THE SAME DOCUMENT! Same number of pages, same words on every page, the same document.\n\nAs I said, I can PROVE what I post here ... How are you going to prove your statement, Margret_Moses ... ummmm, I mean Larry_Joe.

I love this guy! The conservatives have been a little tricky on these pages the last few days man. For some reason they don't like people illustrating the truth to other Americans. So since Bush's, Brian Doyle the (Chester Molester) was implementing the Patriot Act on his 14 year old girl suspect, inside of the United States of America. I think that Nixon taking his punishment like a man, makes him look like ST. Michael.

I listened to that little clip they have and to me these people are not true conservatives.  They remind me of the spineless republican politicians that seem to bow down at every liberals whiney tantrums.  It clearly shows that the republican party has strayed away from true conservatism.  The only thing I agree with that site is smaller government and lower taxes.  \n\nA real conservative will like this link - http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/zeiger/030105\na liberal will hate it.  If anyone agrees with what this link says, then you are not a liberal.  \n\nTo me, todays "republicans" (especially politicians) have strayed away from conservatism.  Too bad they don't have cons for conservative on your voter registration card instead of rep for republican.  Well, it is better than have dem on it!!  Yikes, what a SCARY thought.

The slow advance of facism is upon us.  Even with the recent election, many conservatives still support the Iraq fiasco and vote for stupid laws like the one you cite.  It says something about us.  It's frightening.  In fact, it's fear that is driving a lot of this supposed defense stuff.  Security at airports.  Now limits to the right to peaceful assembly?  \n\nThe only way to show how we feel about an unjust 'law' is to break the law.  Sit ins and teach ins helped with the Civil Rights Movement. Civil disobedience is our duty.\n\nIf we allow ourselves to be legislated into a corner, then what ever trouble that visits us, we deserve, don't we?\n\nIt's shameful to erode the First Amendment!  Yes, this 'law' is wrong and goes too far!  I would hope that Kansas and other states would be challenged in this case.  But, Kansas still thinks that Darwin is wrong.  How do you deal with that sort of stupidity?\n\nAre we sheep being led to the slaughter?  Are you?  Am I?\n\nWhat's next?

Bill put up the bill against firearms taking away high cap mags and assult weapon characteristics.  It was retarded because you can get shot by a handgun with a 10 shot mag just as easy as a 14 shot high cap mag.  Plus like all pro gun people will tell you the ones that break the laws will have whatever they want and only the law abiding citizens will be effected by any anit-gun attacks.\nHillary can go to hell and get ass raped by Hitler.  Hillary will probably attack porn and guns...*sob*

Well, it kinda pisses me off even more than I was before, because now I have 10 questions instead of just 7.  WTF people?  This is absurd.  Something needs to be done.  The truth needs to be spoken.  \n\nSadly, I think it's just gonna be another Kennedy thing and we'll never really know.  Not in our lifetime anyway.  \n\nJust my thoughts.\n\nOh and the girl above me (farcus) something or another is an idiot.\n\nThanks

Very sad. I don't understand their motivation. They are so intent on bringing the Bush administration down that they are willing to sacrifice the nation's safety. For what? \n\nAgain I say, this is not a football game with two opposing teams. It's not a rivalry with one side against the other. The winning side here isn't going to get a trophy and bragging rights.  This is the future of our country. Rather than pulling for the Left or the Right. the Dems or the Republicans, maybe we need to start pulling together as a country. Otherwise, we are going to fall to terrorists and extremists.

Your a friggin' moron...how can we apply our Constitutional CRIMINAL proceedings to a terrorist in a foreign war...since when have we ever applied "Due Process" in a war? \n\nZarqawi got justice...at the end of a 500 pound bomb. \n\nLet me guess...we should bring back ALL fighters in wars and have them tried in our courts? Who is going to pay for that? The taxpayers? Of course, the Democrats wouldn't mind it...that would make their masters, the Trial Lawyers, happy. \n\nMoron...

I would like to say how completely outraged I am with the New York Times.  When they reveal secret programs aimed at finding terrorist, they put my husband, a US Marine, and the men and women serving with him, at risk.  They don't have a right to endanger my husband's life more than it is.  I agreed with Mr. Daly (on the O'Reilly Factor Friday night) when he said that in order to have liberty we must have secret programs.  Thanks to the left wing media, a secret program is now considered to be a cover-up and dangerous to our civil liberties.  As far as a I am concerned, the left wing is just as bad as the terrorist at the moment.  Shame on the New York Times and all the papers that revealed this program.  God bless America and God bless our troops.

you mean the TERRORIST SURVEILLANCE" directive, don't you?  It is not a bill to listen in to Aunt Martha and steal her chicken recipe, and it's not even for listening in to college professors talk to each other about how to turn America into a socialist state.  It is about listening to INTERNATIONAL phone calls to or from known terrorists so that our leaders can protect us. And it hasn't been "thrown out" yet, but I'm sure it will be when the Dems take over.  Then I can't wait for all the "why didn't they connect the dots?" whiners after we get hit again.
