Just for starters, The Patriot Act became...Frank... Just for starters, The Patriot Act became the precursor to the Dept. of Homeland Security and was used as a springboard to proclaiming almost all conservative groups as possible domestic terrorists. You've probably heard that DHS produced a list identifying anyone who sported a Pro-Life, Pro-Gun or third party bumper sticker. Under The Patriot Act the FBI and local police authorities no longer need a search warrant to enter your home. All they need to do is say you are suspected of some terrorist activity and they can bust your door down and there are documented cases where this has happened. When a case develops where you are suspected you no longer have any rights under The Bill of Rights. If you read any conservative web site news you should check out WorldNet Daily News at www.wnd.com and do a search for stories about the abuses that have been reported. As you began your complaint by asking if I made any phone calls to the Middle East you should know that not only is the answer NO but that the application of The Patriot Act has gone way beyond that. Now that we have a Marxist in The White House you can be sure your liberty is in more jeopardy now than ever before and The Patriot Act will be the root cause of it.Oldironsideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629998599890229482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8404433125239624931.post-67747328448503488512010-02-13T17:58:02.803-05:002010-02-13T17:58:02.803-05:00I read your post on the Patriot act with a smile o...I read your post on the Patriot act with a smile on my face. When did this act pry into the privacy of you or of anyone that you know? If it did nose into your private life, what were you doing conversing with someone in the Middle East? I personally have read the bulk of the patriot act, and see no way that the law abiding citizen would even know it existed other than the media releases. Pres. Bush and others of his administration, when faced with the reality that was 9/11/01, did what he thought best, balancing our freedoms with our security and determined that surveillance of those in communication with the Middle East must be done to do all possible to protect us from the idiocy that is radical islam. I didn't like the idea that gov't could eavesdrop on my phone conversations, but would rather that be than to turn a blind eye to terrorism as the present administration has done.<br /> I thank GOD and GWB for the Patriot Act.<br /><br /><strong>"Never Forget Ft.
