The "Patriot" Act

The "Patriot" Act

What can I say? I find myself agreeing with a Republican I once found intolerable. Bob Barr, a major force behind the impeachment of President Clinton is saying this about the recent attempt to expand the Patriot Act...

The expansion of a newly permanent Patriot Act would be an

extraordinarily dangerous step for our democracy. I appreciate

the need to be ultracautious when dealing with our enemies in the

war on terrorism. But, the Roberts Patriot Act Expansion bill, with

its fishing-expedition subpoenas, is beyond the pale.

Now, I don't want to sound too melodramatic here but this is seriously one of the most important issues to face this country in over 200 years. Why, you ask? Because the Constitution provides protections against this very type of attack on our most basic of freedoms. Those boys got together and wrote a document that held this shitbox intact for over two centuries and now we have a small group of insane Republicans with an even smaller President who wants to change the fabric of this nation.

I strongly suggest you read the entire post I've linked above and take the steps necessary to contact your members of Congress to tell them how you feel. Don't take my word for it either. If you think the Washington Times is too liberal for you, do a google search and find out what Barr believes. Hey, if you want to live in a Police State, tell them THAT! I just want this country to start taking responsibility for what is happening to it and to hopefully see the destruction that is the Bush presidency.

Peace and love.
