          Obama listens to you talkin' dirty with your woman.
          Remember how President Obama, while campaigning, promised to reject the questionable spying practices of the federal government of President Bush? Yeah, forget all that. Over the past two years, we…

              That's the way it will be though, if it ever comes to a revolution here. All the people that are revolting will legally be allowed to be arrested and persecuted because they're "domestic terrorists".

                At the point that the people are actively revolting, habeas corpus can be suspended and anyone the government deems a threat can be detained indefinitely. You can bet they have a naughty list already.

                  I've heard the "If you've done nothing wrong, there isn't anything to worry about," justification from a few of my Conservative friends today... I disagree WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

                    I've seen it quite a few times on this site. It's hard to swallow just how dumb some people are.

                      Barely a month after demanding that the Constitution be read into the Congressional Record, House Republicans voted against a motion to that would have protected against Patriot Act abuses of privacy rights. Then they voted to extend the act's surveillance authorities.


                      Am I missing something here?
                      That website is Frances Fox Piven's stomping grounds.

                              Its likely that the patriot act has saved a lot of lives already. That moron trying to blow up a building in dallas just off the top of my head. But we're all just waiting for it to turn against the US people.
