Bush is telling congress he intends to make the patriot act permanent and with our republican congress that will of course pass..... didn't we tell you this was coming? Once rights are taken away they are NEVER returned.

.....there are also two bills going through congress right now similar to bushes plan about 8 months ago to basically let any foreigner into this country and give them citizenship........


After 6 and a half years of soul searching I have decided bush IS in fact the anti christ.....

Isn't this whole thread something of an attack on a strawman? Who is it who argued that partiot act was Ok so long as it was temporary? It seems to me that people who oppose it it have always opposed it no matter how breifly it would be in effect and it seems that those who supported it it have always argued it ought to be permanent.

And on topic:

The Americans get exactly what they voted for.

They wanted an elitist mafia, and they got one!

How is that statement on topic? What does it have to do with the patriot act or the OP?

what you fail to realize is the war on terror is unwinnable. It will go on forever. It will not ever end.

Ah, Adolf Hitler.

Clearly, this is a bad analogy. Bush isn't smart enough to write a book.
