Axelrod and Emanuel can’t wait to get to The O and tell him what and how to think about this.
They can always wish and hope.

Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, when Bush and a Republican congress passed the Patriot Act, many believed that it was necessary to be able to act against the possiblity of another terriorist attack. That was not an American manufactured crisis, unless you contemplate Clinton’s non-action, in the face of telegraphed messages against the US from Bin Laden. I believed at the time that it was necessary, in order to keep us Americans safe. I was one who believed that it didn’t matter to me if my phone lines were tapped, as I had nothing to hide, I am not a terriorist, and I don’t know any terriorists, I don’t think. Probably one of the only things where I think highly of Bush is the fact that he kept us safe for the rest of his time in office.

Now, in hindsight, I believe that the Patriot Act served it’s purpose, and it is long past time to get rid of it. During the Bush years, the Leftists barraged Bush with every invective in their arsenal against what they said was an infringement on our privacy rights, an attack on us a freedom loving Americans and they claimed he was using the Act to spy on all of us US citizens. This isn’t the only Bush legislation passed, that opened the door for Obama and his thugs to barge through, and, actually widen the doorway. Now, I believe the language of the legislation has been expanded to include spying on your neighbors if they say anything bad against the Obamites, please post your info on their website with names, and email addresses, before the site was forced down. They have expanded the policy to include spying on those hateful groups like the Tea Partiers, and all those far right wing extremists, who want to overthrow the government. Trying to get information according to the Freedom of Information Act is getting more and more difficult, to the point of releasing only what this administration wants you to know. I suspect that alot of illegal spying, information collecting and tracking is being done that would incite even a fruit fly.

When you pass legislation, even with good intentions, it always has a way of backfiring, because powers not delinated in a loosly worded or vaguely worded bill, will always be expanded to what the current administartion wants it to mean. With an administration, that is bent on socializing the country or worse, who have no time or care for laws or the Constitution, this bill has actually become a weapon against the citizens it was undertaken to protect.

The same can be said about the Bush passed TARP legislation.

As long as you agree with everything we say and do. If you don’t, we will be monitoring you and your friends and by the way, we know your secrets and we can release them to the public any time we want.

You will comply, one way or another.

I can only imagine what they’de say about this and The One.

you are talking about

Russell Kirk recognized this, as did the Founding Fathers.

It is absolutely necessary that we have people in positions of authority. It equally necessary that there be checks, limits and accountability in place to prevent those people from succombing to their own natural propensities.

The British government is long, far gone. We’re not far behind them if we don’t stop Obama and the Democrats from fulfilling their fantasies.

I’m not a PATRIOT Act scholar but 1) none of those provisions has had an inkling of negative impact on my life; 2) the PATRIOT Act and the UK’s Big Brother project are two different animals; 3) the PATRIOT Act seemed very reasonable to me and has plenty of oversight.

In the UK, it’s gone insanely out of hand. Read this story and be amazed. This makes a much more powerful argument than the “what-if” carping of the anti-PATRIOT Act folks. “Well maybe this could happen.” How about, “hey, look at what’s happened in the UK - what does it mean for us?”

The idea of using surveillance laws to investigate school eligibility is just insane. Crazy. These powers must contain accountability and proportionality before being granted by the people to their government.
