I am going to say what is the truth. Please human rights violations today? Maybe 50 years ago, but these days please. Your a conspiracy theorists. You don't trust them listening to your phone conversations b/c you have something to hide. I have nothing to hide and I want terrorists dead! I am an American and loyal to my superiors! I despise Liberal Scum!

Its obvious that the Patriot Act could not have been written after 9/11, it was planned and written long before hand. Of course, anyone that said as much was declared to be unpatriotic at the time it was passed, so it wasn't revealed to the public until long after it was too late.

With the Patriot Act...there is a ball and chain with the name of each American on it.

The US government, like many others, has a history of abusing its power by surveillancing and harassing political dissenters. Don't believe it? Look up cointel pro. It totally makes sense that those in power will use whatever means necessary to protect it. I don't trust intelligence agencies to have the power to listen to my phone conversations at will. Their records of human rights violations and political suppression speak for themselves. Get educated before you start name calling, moron.

Texas! Well said my man! Exactly, if your not doing anything illegal why would it bother you that the government is tapping your lines. Do people really think that they will investigate anything people say wrong about the governemnt. I think they know when someone is planning a attack or just speaking out! That is the reason for the phone tapping. Like the Gov is going to come after you for anything. Pathetic, Left Wing, Cancerous, Parasitic, Liberalism. "The Ultimate American Disease"

"If you aren't doing anything illegal, then what do you care?" What if it becomes illegal to be an atheist? After all, George Bush Sr. said that atheists shouldn't be considered citizens. Forget the first amendment!
"They don't tap the phones of common people" Oh so they know a priori that these people are criminals before they even tap their phone lines.
By the way, the Libertarians are the most against the Patriot Act, not "liberal scum".

Why don't you move to Russia or North Korea? You can be certain that the govt. has full authority and power to do what it takes to keep you safe. They are smart enough to realize that civil liberties put us in danger and really just get in the way of the trustworthy folks in the government doing what is in the people's best interest.

We live in this time and age. This needs to be done everything has been mapped out and if we ever want to leave this planet and explore the universe these events need to be done.
If we had world peace and all countries being happy with what they have we will all die eventually because we will not have the means to transport ourselves when the earth fucks up somehow or until the sun becomes a supergiant
YOUR ALL SELFISH! AFTER THE BAD TIMES COMES THE GOOD TIMES |
